A trip to Albuquerque

With my Dad and Clorie returning from New Hampshire and the Holly's having a weekend full of football we headed over to Albuquerque for a fun filled weekend.

On Saturday morning Matthew played a football game (coached by Mark).

They won and it was so fun to watch!

Later that afternoon we put on our Wildcat gear to watch a Arizona/New Mexico collage game.

Mark got to take the boys out onto the LOBO field to play a scrimmage during half time.

I recently got back in touch with my old friend Kelli. She came to a sopapilla party that my dad had on Sunday. It was wonderful to catch up lost time.More pictures from the sopapilla party:

YARD WORK

Gary and I have been working hard all summer on our yards. Before the summer came to and end I thought I would share our progress with you.

Flowers in pots in the front yard:

I planted 3 new rose bushes in the front yard flower beds:
More flowers in the front yard:
We planted a vegetable garden in the backyard. The prettiest part of the garden right now is the marigolds I planted to keep the good bugs coming. We had cucumbers, lettuce, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon and cantaloupe in our garden. Canyon has loved the grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I have been loving everything:
We got our sprinkler system fixed at the beginning of the summer so we replanted the grass in the back yard:This is the entrance into the garden. I can't wait to grow something on my arbor next year:
Our most recent project is laying the sandstone. It has given our yard a softer, less square look. I absolutely love it. The grass is coming up great in between the stones:
These two have led us to one final project for the summer. Making a "dog yard." They have chewed and dug everything you can imagine. We have had to replace multiple sprinkler heads, replant grass, fill holes, repair fences. So for the sake of our yard (and the dogs) we are relocating them to a side yard where they can dig and chew without causing heartache:
