Boo the Buzzy Bee.

Parent Teacher conference is this week.  I can't believe Boo has been in school for 3 months now!  I thought I would post some  of her highlights so far.

Boo was picked by her teacher for the "Buzzy Bee Award" for her class in September. The award is given to 2 students in each class who are respectful, responsible, and safe.  She was so proud.

October held fall fun!  Her school held a fall festival at the convention center.  Papa Mark, Grandma Paula, Dad, Mom, Aunt Jackie, and Aunt Jessie came too as her entourage.  We ended up holding all her junk treasures while she went from game to game.

 (Dad is loving him some cotton candy.)

 And last week we celebrated Halloween!  She carved her little pumpkin from the festival.

 She was the "White Queen" from Alice in Wonderland at her class party and trick or treating in mid-town.  1,000,000 points to Grandma Janice for making another incredible costume!  She is the Queen of Halloween!

At home Boo is a good big sister.  It can be quite exhausting work being 5.

White Sands National Monument

This may sound rude.  In fact, it is rude.  The majority of what I have seen of New Mexico, it is an UGLY aesthetically challenged state.  But there are pockets of beauty that we have discovered.  We live in a beautiful town in the mountains.  We also discovered the beauty of White Sands National Monument.  Seriously, after driving through an hour's worth of blah desert, we were shocked to see the pure white gypsum dunes.  We had a blast!  Boo asks to go back every weekend.
