Aquarium/Botanical Gardens

We went on a field trip this week w/ Jake's former preschool class and Miss Peggy. We went to the Aquarium and Botanical Gardens. It was so beautiful. I had no idea there was such a beautiful place right in the middle of town. We had a great time! Jake was very happy to be with his friends, esp. his buddy, Hunington. 

Here's Jake & Hunington posing for the camera. Don't you just love this background? 

So beautiful...still can't believe this place is right here in Albuquerque.

My baby boy, he's getting so big! 

Turning on the water! 

We're sitting in this really old farm house in the botanical garden area. It was really neat. 

 I was so amazed by all the beautiful flowers, plants and vegetation. Iris', my favorite flower and they had them in every color. Gorgeous....

Just to let you know, now that I know this place exists, if/when you come visit us, we're taking you there. So perdy! 

Happy Mother's Day!

Lookin' good girl! 

               Just watching her bro, can't wait to run after him! 
 

These are the 2 precious reasons why I get to celebrate Mother's Day! I am so blessed and amazed by my children. Thank you God! 

This is Jake & Sophie's park (in Pa/Coco's backyard). Pretty cool! 

Hey Cowboy! Lookin' good...

Jake's new ride...

We had been talking about getting out on our bikes, since the weather is getting warmer. BUT, Jake is too big for the child seat, which is now Sophie's. So,we decided it was time...he rode this bike all over Toys R'Us before deciding this was 'the one'. To quote Lightening McQueen, "I am speed". 

I said, "pose for a picture so we can send it to Grandpa Bob", and here he is. Love it! 

I said, "let me see your cool helmet"...and he turned his head so I could take a picture. My kids 

are so photogenic and love the camera. 

These pictures were taken at the end of the day, yesterday...after he had rode all the way to Coco & Pa's (Grandma & Grandpa Santillanes, for those of you who don't know). Then he rode all the way back home, AND his allergies will killing him AND no nap! Let's just say, he was BEAT! It was a good day though.
