August trip to New Mexico

This was our end of summer vacation and luckily we got to see almost all my family! Everyone except Ben.. bummer he had to work. The time we got to spend with my parents, Angela and Brandon and their family, Curt and Lisa, and Paul and Sarah was priceless. Here is our vacation through photos of the things we got to do with them!!

We got the times wrong for swimming at the pool, but "creative" Grandma found some fun for the kids!


They even found running throught the sprinkler can be way fun too! That and playing silly throwin games too!


Tennis time... even "girly-girls" can play tennis as long as they have a pink hat on! We love you Lizzy!!


Tyler found that playing tennis can be fun too... as long as he had his "blue" bike!!


The "Man" taking a break.. before he takes on his crazy good apponent!


The "B-Man" showing Heath how to win...



Heath showing us how to be prepared to hit anything coming his way...


Emily and Hayden taking on Grandma!!

Buddies and Coolness just run in the family!!


Luau Time... say cheese!


Grandma Fairbanks with her grandkids!


Show us how to "hoola"...Heath!!
Brandon and Angela


We got to visit Curt and Lisa at their home in Albquerque!

Thanks for the yummy cookies too!


Paul, Mom, and Drew... somehow all of my brothers outgrew all of us girls in the family.

Hayden doing a flip... sweet!


Bestest cousins: Tyler, Emily, Hayden, and Lizzy

We also got to visit Paul and Sarah at their home too!

I still have a hard time believing that my baby brother is married, crazy. It's been over a year now and we definitely like having Sarah in the family!



All of us, minus my older brother Ben, and Angela's hubby Brandon...


Off to the Albuquerque Zoo



The Coolest Dudes around!!

Say "roar"...

The two of us.. well actually "two and a half"!!


Hayden feeding "June" the giraffe!


Tyler, with a little security from Dad, feeding "June" the giraffe.


hen it rains in NM, it realy, really, really comes down! They had so much fun jumping in all of the puddles and laughing about it too!!


Rain can bring out smiles!!


Angela and Brandon brought their two dogs, Teddy, and Sheeba...I was in shock that Brandon actually took Sheeba out for a walk to help out!! Definitely a Kodak moment!




Tyler loved fluffball, Teddy!


I think we might have a little musician in the family...
taking after Grandma and Grandpa Fairbanks who now have two pianos in the living room so they can play together!!



Nothing like learning to pull weeds in NM... money is a good incentive too! Hayden said he got a whole $5 from Grandma! Thanks Grandma Fairbanks!!

Tyler was a big helper too!!


Grandma and Grandpa definitely know how to have fun with their grandkids!


Swing away Hayden...

...its' candy time!!

The "big" boys found a way to have fun together too!!
Luckily Brandon got a chance to hang out too.. after he finished "Mom's" project!



Hanging out with family is the best! We sure felt lucky having somewhere to stay, being fed, and being able to to do many fun things together! The drive was way long... but it was all worth it!!


We love and miss you Mom and Pops, thanks for everything!!
