Bandelier National Monument

While we were in Santa Fe, we went to Bandelier National Monument and explored ruins of the Puebloan Native Americans. These ruins and cave dwellings have been around for approx. 450 years...I think! It was a very cool experience. The first picture posted is of us inside one of the caves that was used primarily for weaving.

Santa Fe

We went to Santa Fe for Memorial Day Weekend and did lots of walking and exploring. Here are some pictures of the Plaza in Santa Fe. It is a very old town (the oldest Capital City in the US) with tons and tons of art. There is also an Veterans National Memorial in Santa Fe which I thought was very cool, especially because I have never been to Washington DC and seen something like that.

Benihana's


Brent treated Carter and I to Benihana's for Mother's Day dinner and it was a lot of fun. Carter really enjoyed watching them cook his food right in front of him, and he actually ate a decent amount of food, including all of his shrimp. Who knew he would like shrimp?!

Supervisor Carter

Brent and I were putting together Carter's new Dresser yesterday when Carter woke up about an hour into the project. He immediately picked up the instructions and started to tell Brent how to put it together and what he was doing wrong. It was very, very funny!
I don't think we could have done it without him!

What's a Princess?



On Saturday morning, cousin Riley asked Carter if he wanted to watch a Princess movie and his reply was "What is a princess?" Well, they watched the movie and Carter now knows what a princess is....it is his mother. Later that day when I was getting dressed for Bailey's Baptism, he came up to me in the bathroom and said "Mama, you look like a Princess"...ah it was the sweetest thing ever and he continued to say it several times throughout the day.
