Spring Break '09

The last month or so has been quite a month...Caleb and Shawn left on a jet plane to Las Cruces, NM for three whole weeks! Unfortunately, I was still busy at school and could not meet with them until my spring break last week. Between midterms and volunteering for a health clinic to do some oral cancer screenings, I tried to keep myself occupied. Although I missed them terribly, Shawn and Caleb had a blast with Grampy and Grandma Jen Jen! From train rides to White Sands and plenty of McDonalds in between, they enjoyed every last bit of spoiling.

We had the pleasure of visiting Hubbard's Horse Museum in Ruidoso.

Caleb enjoyed some carnival rides and his first rollercoster ride!

I don't know if he was a big fan of the tea cups--a picture is worth a 1000 words!

His favorite ride of all were the "horsies" on the carousel.

A scenic view...

Daddy and son enjoying the dirt and smell of funnel cakes...

We also discovered Grampy's alias: Leonardo, the Ninja Turtle!

Shawn and I enjoyed a date day at Old Mesilla and enjoyed visiting San Albino

Meanwhile, Grandma Jen Jen and Caleb soaked up the NM sun!

Once I arrived, we had a hunt to find the Lucky Leprachaun for St. Patrick's Day with cousin Noah.

The pot of gold: LOLLIPOPS!

Caleb captured the Leprachaun with his St. Patrick's Day net

And we enjoyed copious amounts of MEXICAN FOOD!!

We heart El Sombraro!

Queso!

Oral cancer screening: Checking the lymph nodes for lumps and bumps.
