Finch Top 10 Moments of 2011

Happy Hoildays

No words for her!!!

It still AMAZES me how you can have one child and feel the way you feel about them! And then you have a second child and they just slide right in next to how you feel about the first....

ITS A BAUTIFUL THING!

Camping in Telluride!

A few weeks ago we went camping in Telluride with my family! It was beautiful and definatly COLD! While I did not get any pictures of us ACTUALLY camping..I got a few when went to visit the town of Telluride! We went on a gondolla ride to the ski village, hit up the farmers market for some fresh KETTLE CORN ( a Ryus & Jessica Family favorite) ate @ SMUGGLERS and walked the streets of this beautiful town! Needless to say we will be back!

Bumps and bruises

this is what you get when you have a quarter pipe in your garage and a 2 year old who can ride a bike with no training wheels, a husband who thinks its cool to have scars

Quarter Pipe

When Ryus got bored last Sunday he built a quarter pipe in our garage!

What does your husband do when he gets bored??

Beloved ipad - R.I.P

My lovely husband left the ipad on the roof of my car!

And when the speed limit changes in Bloomfield, due to the road construction , it flew off and was ran over a million times!!

Currently taking donations to replace!! I miss my beloved ipad!

Dear iPAD,

You were always there for me when I am stuck nursing a cranky baby and she never wants to let go!

You taught Ben his shapes and colors in spanish!

You entertained Ben when we had a long drive or were at the DR office!

You were always there late at night once the kids were in bed to check e-mails and catch up with the outside world!

You were there when i needed a recipe and my printed would not print, I could just take you in kitchen with me!!

I will miss you!!

SWEETNESS

So...as usual, we set up shop in the kitchen and attempted a 3 month photo shoot! I thought there was total failure, but I was pleasantly surprised at my children when I went to go edit! I guess i didn't need to lock them in the closet for being so bad....kidding!

This sweet girl has ME, not daddy, wrapped around her finger! I just adore her!!

Champ eater

Beautiful brown eyes

July 1st

I just love this little boy! Especially his red mustache! These were taken during the weekend of July 2nd. We spent the weekend at Dj & Jessica's wedding friday and saturday

Ryus's cousin was getting married on July 2nd and we were out for the rehearsal dinner and were able to get a few pictures of Ryus and I with Mary Jane! I just love these!!

Mariatchi weekend

On June 1th we went to ABQ and hit up the annual Gonzales Mariatchi weekend! My family on my grandmothers side, every June has this weekend! It was going to be the last one so we knew we had to go! We had tons of fun listening to music and eating the BEST mexican food!! I know I look pretty white but my grandmother is a Gonzales, so there's a little hispanic in my blood!!
