Art in the sky!

Ever since we moved to Boise, we've heard about the incredible hot air balloon Festival.  It's sounded amazing!  Alas, the city canceled it (for whatever reason) that same year we got here!  And they haven't done it since!  ....UNTIL this year!  We FINALLY got to see it and it was MORE THAN COOL!  Really! ...A site to behold!  I couldn't put my camera down!  Everywhere I looked there was bright colors against the sky line.  We grabbed some McD's for Breakfast and a blanket and watched the balloons dance around the sky!  Truly, ONE of the coolest things we've done as a family!  And I can't wait to do it again NEXT year!!

"Look Mom! NO HANDS!"

Mason has learned to ride a two wheeler!!!  YEAH!  I'd like to say that we are awesome parents and felt it was time.... BUT, it's really because we are CHEAP!  His training wheels busted off and we didn't want to go buy new ones.  So we took him over to the park where there's ample grassy hills.... and well, we just pushed him down them!  And it WORKED.  So he now graduated to learning on pavement!  He did great!....Except for that ONE pole! :D 

Am I just an AWFUL Mom for posting this?! ...Actually- I'm thinking I'm awful because I can't stop laughing! EVERY time I see it!

Honestly, I expected to pack up the bike for good and Mason to cry the whole way home, NeVeR wanting to try it again.  But, to my surprise-  He got right back on!!!  THAT'S MY BOY!!!!

Manic Monday on a Wednesday~

.....More like PANIC Monday- Money woes, the economy, mommy guilt and such. It's all weighing down on my brain and making it hard to breath a little.  Nothing nobody else is feeling, I'm sure!

Maybe one 0' these'll make me feel better! =D







Yup!  That's Bacon!
