Weekend Coffee

This weekend Arturo and I got to sleep-in and have a leisurely cup of coffee...it was great. Arturo and I are going on eight years together dating and marriage combined and I know that I am one of the luckiest girls in the world. He is such a great guy and loves me unconditionally. He is also so encouraging and supportive...do not know what I would do without him. So here is to you, baby...May we have many more Saturday mornings full of good coffee and good conversation! I LOVE YOU!

I Heart Faces: We Are Family

   I am entering my first photography contest through I Heart Faces (http://www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com/)  This picture displays nothing but family to me. A Grandmother and granddaughter making Tamales at Christmas...these are the times that should be cherished. Enjoy!  

   

Textures...trying them out!

Learning more and more about photoshop and loving it!

Happy Saturday!

Feeding Cows: Weekend #2

This weekend Arturo asked me if I would help him feed cows. Well, I could not say no to a chance to get to spend my Saturday and Sunday mornings with the man I love most in this world. Plus it was a great chance for me to take my camera out and do a little shooting! I hope that you all enjoy!

Sorry that there are so many...I kind of got carried away. :) 

Have a great week everyone!

Moriarty Christmas

As the snow falls outside I would like to share a few photos that warm my heart. As most of you know we spend our Christmases in Moriarty, NM with Arturo's family. These Christmases are so different from how I grew up, but I love it.

The Christmas tree with gifts for over 30 folks underneath!

All the stockings were hung.

The cookies baked with help from our little niece, Leah.

The pie crust are made, Juana (Arturo's Mom) specialty.

The tamales are made. Leah loves to help her Nana (Arturo's Mom) in the kitchen.

Spreading the masa.

Hard at work.

Could not decide which one I like best...so you get both.

I hope these photos will warm your heart on this cold, snowy evening.

Feeding Cows in the Snow

This morning I got to ride along with Arturo. I took my camera, of course, and here are a few pictures I took. I hope that you all enjoy!

Cows having a bite of breakfast.

Arturo counting cows!

A little vintage action! Actions by the PW!

Fence row covered in snow!

Warm cup of cider when I returned!

Stay warm everyone!

More Snow Pictures

The sun came out today, but it was still very, very cold! I think that it might have gotten up to a whopping 14 degrees. When we where home for lunch the bank read 11 and the wind blew like crazy so it really felt like -7 or so...it took your breath away when you walked outside. I took these pictures at lunch today...I am hopping I can talk Arturo into taking me out to the CCU sometime this weekend to snap some pictures! Here are the few I took today at lunch! Enjoy!

Our poor garden...we had planned to clean it up this weekend, but I do not think that will happen! :)

Arturo blowing the snow off the wood in the wheelbarrow so he can stoke the fire at lunch!

Snow on my poor tree...I do not think they are going to make it through the winter!

Pancho enjoying the snow!

Max enjoying the snow!

I have not driven since Monday. I wish I would have taken a picture of my car before Arturo cleaned it off for me. I will drive myself to work tomorrow, that is if I can get out of the driveway!

Bank clock reading 11 degrees!

Have a cozy warm night!
