Megan is at it again....

So Megan has decided yet again that she need another haircut. Sunday morning I woke up to Nik saying Megan had cut her hair. She found a pair of scissor and hid in the dog kennel and cut her hair.


The evidence left on the floor
After the Haircut at great Clips. This is the only thing we could do to cover how short she had cut on the one side of her head.

Home Again...

We are home again. It was a 10 hour drive to come home but we made it by 9:30pm Saturday night. The kids are glad to be home but also sad that they had to leave all the kids at the Stagg house. With our 2 families and Drew's niece there was 13 all together (5 adults and 8 kids under the age of 10). We had alot of fun. We went to the Rio Grande Zoo, The Aquarium, we went and saw the new Disney movie WALL...E. Becky and I were also able to kid away for an afternoon to have a GIRL'S DAY- we went shopping and got Pedicure. The 4 adults were also able to enjoy a date night in which we rode the Sandia Tram which took us up to an elevation of over 10,000 feet, the views were spectacular and then we went to dinner and then back to the movies to see Hancock. On our last day there we went and spent some time in the Jemez mountains roasting hotdogs and letting the kids shoot the BB gun and .22 rifle. We tried on 2 occasions to go swimming however 1st day the pool was cleared out within the first 5 minutes of us getting in due to the threat of thunderstorms. Once they clear the pool for rain they have to wait 1 hour before letting anyone in. We got a rain check and planned on going back however when we went back the pool it was closed due to low water clarity (the water looked Green), so then we tried to go to another pool but as we where going in Austin's toe had an argument with the door and the toe LOST!. Austin lost the entire big toenail (picture below), so we had to run him to the urgent care to make sure everything was ok and get some antibiotics. All the kids enjoyed spending time together and we all had a fun time together. Becky and the kids will be here the first part of Austin to pack up her parents house (they are finally moving down to New Mexico)

We Made it!!

Well we made it to Rio Rancho, NM in about 12 hour with stops sometimes every 20 minutes. We spent the Fourth of July relaxing, Kids playing in the water and Robert slept most of the day. Drew had bought the biggest box of fireworks so it was about an hour and half of fireworks. Saturday we went to the zoo and I forgot my camera. We are going to see WALL..E tomorrow with the kids and then we may go to the Aquarium. I hopefully will not forget my camera this time. We have a week of activities planned but we will see how things go. We will be heading home on Saturday so that we can have a day to relax before going back to work.

HAPPY 4TH of JULY!!

On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road......... We are leaving today to drive to Albuquerque, New Mexico. 4 kids, (we are taking Becky's oldest son Wyatt home with us. He was spending some time with grandma and grandpa.) 1 dog and 2 tired adults should make a fun trip. We are all excited to be able to get a way and spend time with friends. It is going to be about a 10 hour trip depending on how many stops we have to take for the kids and dog. We will be gone until the 12th. Hopefully we can escape some of the heat. The weather is suppose to be in the triple digits.

I hope all you have a great holiday weekend and keep watching for picture of our vacation as I will post them as soon as I can.
