A New Addition....FINALLY

One month late to the day!! We finally have a new baby horse. She was supposed to be born on April,23 and here is is finally on May,23. Can you imagine being pregnant for a whole year??

Brand new, just hours old with her sweet momma

I wish I could be there, they are soooo cute when they are little!!

It is amazing to see how light she is. The baby's daddy is a gorgeous cream colored Morgan(SUPER RARE). Almost all Morgan horses are a redish brown or dark brown like Emma. Because of the color of the dad there was the possibility of a Palimino like she is or a Buckskin (light color with black mane and tail) or a small chance she would have been a blackish color


So light she almost matches the hay

Such long legs!! Mimi is hoping she is taller than her momma

I just have to say I am SOOOO Jealous that Mimi and my Mom get to go see her on Monday. It was so much fun when Emma was a baby, wish I could be there!!!

"Mom look at that fast Chicken"

So here in Albuquerque we have roadrunners. They are all over and we see them almost everyday. Well, the other day as we were parking the car he yelled out "Mom, look at that fast chicken." When I look up, sure enough there is one running right outside the car.

Tell me, does this look like a chicken?

Lets Go Fly A Kite

So last week we decided that since it is always windy here we needed a kite. Keegan loved the idea so we made a trip to the local Wal-Mart and quickly found the kites in the toys section. On one end display there was 2 different kinds. One package had a 24" kite and the other package, for the same price, had 2 kites measuring 22''. So logically we chose the package with 2 kites. Well, we let Keegan choose, he chose Iron Man over Transformers. (We were pushing for Transformers) So we buy the kites and head off to a school to fly them. We get there and Josh opens the package and just starts laughing. One kite is as listed 22'' and looks good

Here is the other Iron Man kites

Now you will see why Josh started laughing.

The 2nd kite is smaller than my hand.



So needless to say, the packaging was very misleading.... I mean really, if I would have known that this was the second kite I would have said No Way!! We would have bought the bigger one. I mean serously, do you think this is even going to fly??


Anyhow, Keegan loves to run around the hose with the little one. So I guess there is some entertainment value in it. We have taken him out to fly the big one and loses intrest after about 5 min. Aparently throwing rocks is more fun.

Ocean Fun...no, we didn't go to the beach

Yesterday we went to the Albuquerque Aquarium. It was a lot of fun, we have also been to the Seattle Aquarium and I liked this one just as much. We bought a family pass so Keegan and I can go back when Josh is working. Yay!! When we got there it was feeding time. We got to see a lady in and open tank feeding some smaller rays, and then when we got to the big tank it was feeding time in there too. So much fun to watch.

The puffer fish was HUGE, I would say he was as long as Keegan is tall. And he always swam with his mouth open, kinda strange

Here is Keegan in front of the 1st big tank.

They have a model ship room, and then this big Captains Wheel. Keegs can't even see where he is taking us.

A sea turtle, all I could think about was... "Dude and then I was like Dude".... from Finding Nemo

A portal into the big tank




When I wanted him to look into the tank so that I could get a pic from the back he kept turning around and saying "Cheese"


The big tank at the end had the Biggest rays in it. This one was over 6 feet long (just a guess) but he was huge




Ahoy Matey!!

Here he is again, such a big ray. Keegan says that they are flying in the water. The guy in there was feeding the rays. It was a lot of fun to watch!! There are also sharks in there, I am not sure I would be in there during feeding time.

They have some smaller tanks as well, this one had a few Sea Horses. There were even little baby ones in there too.

Ooops Back to feeding time.

Well, there it is. Sorry they seem out of order, some of them are, and some are because Keegan kept running back and forth from tank to tank we saw it all more than once.

I think one of my favorite parts was the Jelly fish tank. They are so calm, they just bob along, so relaxing to watch.

Keegan says that his favorite part was the "fishy tunnel" it has a walkway where you are going through the tank in a tunnel.

Josh isn't sure that he had a favorite part. He is either really indifferent or he liked it all. I think he liked it all.

We can't wait to take Uncle Jon and Aunt Jace in a couple of weeks!!

Fun at the park!!

We have found quite a few nice parks and playgrounds. The weather here has been great, warm in the day and perfect in the afternoon/evening. The other night Josh didn't have to work so we all went to the park and had a really good time. Keegan discovered that he likes playing follow the leader, especially if he is the leader and daddy follows him all over the playground.

So far everything here has been a lot of fun. We can't wait for our visitors at the end of the month!!

Yummy!!!

MMmmmmm
