Where are all the balloons?

This year we set out again for another year of the ABQ balloon fiesta's glowdeo. Unfortunately it was a little too windy so they couldn't blow up the balloons. We decided to stay since they were still going to do the fireworks show and we didn't have time during the rest of the week to go back. The kids still had fun running around, eating and watching the fireworks. We stuffed our faces with hotdogs, fries, funnel cake and cotton candy. The fireworks are amazing every year, I've never seen a better fireworks show ever! Hopefully next year we'll get to see the balloons up close and personal.
No balloons but we're still happy! Every year they have a Darth Vader balloon. Even though they didn't blow it up, the storm troupers still came out. Blake was so scared of them but Kalli was willing to go right up and take a picture. I give her another year before she's frightened too. Enjoying the yummy food and waiting for those fireworks to start.
In all honesty, we still had such a great time even though there weren't any balloons. I guess it's what you take out of each situation. If you've never been to the ABQ balloon fiesta, you need to go! Plus, you can always stay with us!

Growing by two feet

We are excited to finally announce that we'll be adding two cute little feet to our family in March. We'll just say the middle of March as my doctor, ultrasound tech and I all have different dates. We are super excited. Blake is telling me he wants it to be a girl and name her Allissa, not sure where he got that from. Kalli keeps pointing to the pictures and saying "baby". So needless to say we are all very excited!

We need your help again...

Once again we are looking to paint another room. And once again we can't decide so we're bringing the issue to you all! This will be in our kitchen which has a warm tone. Please, let us know what you think.
Here are all five of your choices. Please take into account the drapes that are next to the paint, they need to live cohesively together. Here are all of the paint samples except for #5 under our cabinets and you can catch a glimpse of our counters.
Please let us know what you think looks best. Thanks! (This is greatly appreciated!)

Some of our favorites...

We recently took some family pictures since it's been over a year. Our family is so young that even a few months shows a great difference. We loved how they turned out. Here are some of our favorite pictures.

We are celebrating our 6th anniversary today. Joe surprised me with this picture last night. It is incredibly gorgeous and totally unexpected! After 6 years he has learned a thing or two!
Six years ago I'm sure we would never had guessed where and what we would be doing. But I don't think we would have known we would be this happy with our lives. I feel eternally blessed that I married my best friend and the person I turn to first. Here's to many more years of wedded bliss!
