Pueblo, CO

Although our trip to Pueblo, CO was on very sad terms, sometimes good times come along with the bad. The reasons for being their were very unfortunate but Brandon was able to have a mini reunion with all his old college buddies. It was fun to see a side of Brandon I never knew existed! Here are some pictures from the two nights we were able to kick back, relax and have a few drinks with some old friends. The Boys Having a good time.

Trick or Treating with Pampo & Nana

Unfortunately, Brandon and I had to go out of town for a funeral this past weekend up in Colorado, and yes, it was Halloween. Luckily Owen still doesn't get the concept of Halloween yet so he wasn't too disappointed. Brandon's good friend growing up and old college roommate lost his parents a couple weeks ago in a small plane crash. Brandon was very close to them and has always considered them his 2nd parents. It was so sad to see such wonderful, caring, healthy people go, but we just have to rely on the fact that God has a perfect plan for all of us even though we may not understand it. Well it was a long weekend for Brandon and I, sad and exhausting, but it was so nice to be there and help his friend through this very difficult chapter of his life. This was also the first time we have ever left Owen for longer than 23 hours. It was rough on us but we knew he was in good hands. My parents came and stayed with Owen for the 3 days we were gone. Owen had a blast and I am convinced he didn't even know we were gone. Here is a slide show of pic's from Owen's first time Trick or Treating. He was so shocked that people were filling up his little Halloween bag with tons of candy! We have discovered that he loves Nerds. How Funny!

McCall's Pumpkin Patch

Well Brandon's days off have officially changed from Mon & Tues to Thurs & Fri. It isn't really a big deal for us since it is still during the week, but we do have a lot of friends and family that also have Friday's off. This past Friday we went with some friends of ours to the McCall's pumpkin patch in Moriarty, NM. That's about 45min East of Albuquerque. We had so much fun even though it was pretty muddy and kind of rainy weather. Owen had a blast at the rabbit petting farm, on the hayride to the pumpkin patch, the delicious ginger bread cookie he got and most of all he liked playing in the corn box. Yes a corn box, it is like a sand box but filled with corn. How creative! If only we could get one in our backyard. Here are some fun family pic's of the Burgess Family and also below is a slide show of our fun filled day. Enjoy!!!

Grammy's October Visit

Owen's Grammy (Brandon's Mom) came down from Colorado for a visit this past Thursday-Monday. We had a blast while she was here and Owen took to her right away. Within about two minutes Owen had already figured out how far he could push his boundaries with her in town. Every time I would say no to him he would run strait to Grammy with his little alligator tears rolling down his cheeks. So dramatic! While she was here we spent a day at the zoo, went to have Owen's Halloween pictures taken, did a little shopping and ate way too much food! He had a blast with her and kept her very busy. So much for her relaxing weekend away. It was so sad to see her leave, especially since Owen started balling when we dropped her off at the airport yesterday. Can't wait until Christmas to see her again. Here are some cute pics of Owen with his beautiful Grammy. Love you Grammy!Chillin in the car together!All dressed up and ready for Church.Owen is so happy eating the cookie Grammy bought him at dinner. Still eating his cookie.Owen and Grammy playing in his new play room!

The Zoo w/Grammy & Nana

While Owen's Grammy was in town Brandon was able to take Friday off to spend a day with the Family. It was such a beautiful day in ABQ so we decided to take Grammy to the Albuquerque Zoo. My mom, my friend Jess, and Owen's BFF Abby also met us there. I know you all have probably had enough with the zoo pictures already since Owen and I seem to go there every 2 or 3 weeks, but humor me and enjoy these pics too.
