September 2013: Early autumn events

We planted our summer garden late this year due to planting a spring garden first. Our bell peppers and chili peppers did great, but we had fewer tomatoes and zucchini this time around. The colder weather also gave us a smaller yield overall. We picked and roasted many of the chili peppers and froze them.

September 23rd, 2013: We met Jacob and Shauna at Chili's Restaurant to celebrate Jacob's 26th birthday a bit early. I love this picture of the two of them. Shauna is halfway through her pregnancy with baby #2.

After a big meal, Jacob gets a little birthday treat, plus we shared another dessert.
We love you Jacob! Happy, happy birthday!

Cute little Tyler was so well-behaved and happy during dinner

Another fun field trip with my cub scouts and Mike's help and support. We took the boys to Albuquerque's Old Town, visited the old San Felipe De Niri Church, walked around the Square, and went through several shops. Afterwards, we ate dinner at a small diner before dropping the boys off to their homes.

Are they Conquistadores?
