Up Up and Away







Here are the pictures from the balloon launch that we saw in Emmetsburg this weekend.... (let's see if I can get this to work!)
What a surprise, it was a nice way to start the day!

Hey there from the Mendez home!

My wonderful teenage nieces today told me that I "wouldn't understand" computer sites such as "myspace" or "facebook." So.... I'm on a bit of a mission to prove them wrong. :) Two sets of our dear friends both have blogs and I love looking at them, so I thought this would be a great start to proving my point. (that I'm still their coolest Aunt!)

We just got back from a GREAT weekend in Iowa visiting my family. Tons of fun chatting and catching up. Lots always happens when we go to Iowa but one of the coolest things this weekend was the hot air balloon launch that we were able to see this morning. About 20 beautiful hot air balloons launched and floated over Emmetsburg. We got some great pictures that I will do my best to share when I figure this site out a little more!

We also were able to see my beautiful great nephew as well. Tigo was a great "puppy cousin" and aroused many giggles in baby Taelen. Again, pictures to come.

ok, off to figure out how really to post this. I'm hoping it's as easy as it seems!
