Wouldn't a sign reading "Please keep dogs off grass", suffice? Apparently not. Those New Mexican's are so graphic. ;) Or maybe they just did it so my kids wouldn't stop giggling for 2 hours straight.
We stayed in a beautiful hotel in downtown Albuquerque on our first night. The kids' love hotels. I am not quite sure what is so fun about hanging out in a room watching TV, but to them, it is much more fun than doing the same thing at home. Downtown Albuquerque was interesting....we felt very out of place as we walked to dinner surrounded by men dressed up as woman, and real live "gangsta's"....we had lots to explain to our kids while we ate that night. :S We came back and went swimming. Good times.
dinner in Albuquerque....a place called "Fresh Choices" which didn't quite live up to it's name.

For the fourth of July we had a great time visiting with all of Tom's siblings, and their kids. We had a big BBQ and all the cousins got to play together! They haven't all been together in over three years, so it was a FUN reunion!! (Left to right) Joe, Ray, Tina, Tom, Tammy. Tom is the youngest, although you can't tell so much anymore! ;)

Tom and John
Tom had too much fun harrassing his younger nephews. They love their Uncle Tom, and who can blame them?!
They had their fair share of WWF moments....
The first day we got to Flagstaff we had an awesome thunderstorm that flooded the backyard. The kids had a blast playing in the water, and so did Grandma's dogs!
Every night we built a bonfire and stayed up late talking with Grandma and Papa. The girls had so much fun with Grandma and Papa's dogs - Sarge, Lola, and Lupe!
Aunt Tina took the girls to Claire's, and got them a bunch of "girly stuff". They spent the afternoon painting eachother's toenails, and putting on their new make-up!
Avery's new sparkly toenails!Grandma and I had to get in on the action too! The girls gave us makeover's, and I have to say we were pretty darn gorgeous if I do say so myself!! Grandma was such a sport, and such a good Grandma!!
We were going for the "natural" look. I told you....gorgeous!! The girls couldn't stop laughing.That Monday, Grandma, me and the girls packed up her Jeep for an adventurous day in Sedona!
We had to wear hats since the top was down in the Jeep. Madeline and Avery wouldn't stop saying how funny I looked in my hat. It actually kind of grew on me... you don't have to worry about how your hair looks!
More to come!.....

Oh my. Those makeovers are fantastic. What a fun trip!
Who needs lipstick when your girls could just do your makeup everyday. I always laugh when the girls do makeup because they realy think thats how much we wear. Good thing they learn differntly as they get older.
Looks like so much fun. I miss Flagstaff so much. Which part of the city does Tom's family live? It is so much more fun of a trip when you can stay in Albuquerque to break it up. We've only done it once, but I would love to do it again!
Awesome pics Callie! Looks like you had some very fun times! I also enjoy that first picture!!! SO funny!
