I had to do something artsy, because in reality, there was only a bit of snow on the ground.

So imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to this:

Dang! I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. October is kind of early for snow like that. Usually, we get a bit of snow early- just enough to cover grass blades, then it goes away until after Thanksgiving. This stuff is going to be around awhile.
On a sunnier note, I had a wonderful trip to Albuquerque last week! Here's the highlights:
We left Thursday night and stayed in Price, UT. Definitely nothing to note there.
The next day, we stopped at Arches National Park on the way to NM.

Anne Marie loved the picnic.

But her favorite part was the dirt.

I had to include this- I told Matt to pose by the beauty of nature. I did not purposefully place him next to a fallic rock.

Here's what Anne Marie did much of the way.

Finally, late at night, we got to Greg and Denise's house! It was a surprise for Greg, and when he opened the door, he just kept staring at us.
The next day, the poor almost-30 year old had to help prep for his birthday barbecue.

Roxy did what she could.

The barbecue was awesome, and I got to see one of our good friends, Andy. I feel sad now that I didn't take a photo! The next day, I got to spend a relaxing time with friends.

Anne Marie was as excited as Greg about his birthday cake!

She ate two pieces.

Greg liked it too.

All in all, a great weekend!

On the way home, Anne Marie partied like a rock star. She looks so much like Matt in these pictures:

Emily, thanks so much for the snow photos! WOW! How much snow did you get today? I am so jealous! I love the photos and detail of your trip! We had such a fabulous time with you all. Sure you didn't place Matt near that rock in the UT photo! Maybe you didn't - but Matt probably knew!!! I will post my photos online asap...my computer ran out of room...so I am waiting to get another hard drive this week - when I do, I will upload the pics. Again, thank you a million times for coming to visit! It was wonderful, but made me miss you guys even more. Please give some love to Anne Marie for me!! xoxoxo (that's from me...not my boss!!!) :)
