Birthday in the 'Burque

We took a quick jaunt to New Mexico for Miranda's birthday weekend, which happened to fall at the same time as Easter this year. It was such a lovely weekend, we celebrated with all the family in Albuquerque and Grandma and Grandpa Moore came down from Farmington for Miranda's birthday bar-b-que. We had lots of fun! Of course we left our digital camera in Arizona so these were all taken with a crummy disposable...at least we got to preserve the memories on film. :S

Grandma Gayle and Mimi


Three Moores


Michael discovered Auntie Amy's old scooter and Grandma Gayle's helmet - a fascinating combination that he couldn't get enough of!! He loves having Grandpa Mike zoom him around the back yard - it's hilarious.


Our first night in town, Dan and I took both sets of grandparents out to El Pinto - yum!! Michael wanted to pretend he was asleep after having his quesadilla, and of course Daddy had to do it too!


For Miranda's celebration, Auntie Amy made the *cutest* cake!


Hard to see, but of course here's the obligatory cake face...


Playing in the back yard - how'd Rulon get so big so quick?!?


On Easter Sunday, the kids all had Easter buckets full of fun toys.




Michael and Rulon had an Easter egg hunt in the front yard, and Michael couldn't have been having a better time until he dropped his bucket, several eggs broke open, and he realized it got even better - there was STUFF IN THE EGGS!!! He dropped everything right there to open them all! Bonus!


One last picture in the backyard, Grandma Gayle had great tulips this year.
