ODD THING WE NOTICED AND JUST A GREAT PIC

When we were getting ready for the party, we noticed the uncanny resemblence of Memo to our "cowboy" that stands out front of the saloon.... What do you think??

This is Carlos(our nephew), getting ready for his big sister's western birthday party.... can't help but share it.. look how cute!!

CARLITA'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLITA!!!!

This past Saturday the 21st we had a fabulous party rental in the town. This was for the 3rd borthday of Carlita! The kids all had a blast playing games, riding the pony and just generally being kids!!

Here they are playing the baloon game. They have to try and pop the balloon off of everyone's foot without letting anyone pop theirs. It was a blast watching the little ones chasing each other. Some even tried to pop their own at first!!

This is the quick draw contest. They have to squirt out the flame the fastest. Funny part was they all ended up on top of the flame by the time they squirted it out. (even though we started them behind a line) This game seemed to be a favorite!!

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS-WEEEEEEE

Mom, Memo and I got to sneak away to LA for a few days. We took Nanny over to spend a few days with Aunt Karen and Uncle Bill- It turned into a great couple of days. Not only was it great to see our cousins and family, but we had the chance to spend the day at Universal Studios. It was a BLAST!!!

HORSE SHOW

So while Memo and Alonso played in Nogales my Mom and I went to the Scottsdale Arabian Show http://www.scottsdaleshow.com/ . This show in a phenominal horse show that brings the best animals from all over the world. I am not an Arab fan but you can't help but marvel at their beauty! Here are just a few pics from it. It was fun because we saw a lot of our boarders and friends there as well.

Fun with the Family!

This weekend was a travel weekend for the horses. Memo and Alonso took Mark and Zowie down to Nogales Arizona for our niece's birthday. They had a great time and people that NEVER ride horses actually got up on them. They all got to spend the night and had a BLAST!

COLD COLD COLD

Our poor horses are freezing their tails off! It has been 2 full days of rain and COLD- ok... cold for us. Last night the wind was howling and wow was it chilly!!! The temperature gauge this morning said it was 34 degrees at 6:00!!! The mountain behind us has been covered in clouds but it peaked out this morning!! Check it out!

FUN FOR THE WEEKEND!!

We(Alonso, Memo and I) spent this Saturday with my brother Dan and the girls at the Ren Fair. It was supposed to rain but it held off. It was a great day and we had a blast. It's always fun to make believe!!

Here's Evelyn with the sheep. She fell in love with the baby sheep and sat there for the longest time just talking to her. Quite cute

Alonso had a good time.. this picture was hard to get... only because he kept looking down.... go figure! :)

last but not least... my Zorro- (I'm sure I will get in trouble with this one!)
