Bobcat Bite

OK, this place totally deserves a post of its very own. Bobcat Bite...we've heard about it for a while now and just haven't made the trip to Santa Fe to go until now. We had to go for some work stuff and decided to make a date out of it. Our friends, the Bangerters, decided to meet us up there for the occasion (they've been wanting to go too). Bobcat Bite is this super duper small little hometown diner type place. There are FIVE tables inside and four on the front porch. Their meat is ground fresh daily and is SO yummy! This place has been voted best burger from various magazines and news papers. I TOTALLY believe it!
Let's just say, it did not disappoint!If you like a good burger, this joint is it! My only complaint is the fries. There is room for improvement in that category.So would someone please come visit us so we can have an excuse to go back? I'm already craving.

Lately

OK, this is going to be backwards because I loaded my pictures up wrong and I'm too lazy to change it all.

Over the Valentine's Day weekend, Gary and I went to Phoenix to meet up with some of my family to watch Lincoln compete in a soccer tournament. The weather was perfect and Gary and I even snuck in a nice morning run in shorts and a t-shirt! It was awesome...followed up by a delicious breakfast at the hotel.It did get a little chilly at night, we weren't really prepared for the cold.After the game we had ourselves a nice Valentine's meal at Cheesecake Factory. Oh how I love that place! We also dropped by Gary's Sister's place to say hi to them. They hadn't met Sam yet either so it was fun for them to finally meet. I'd been telling him all about his cousins. I think Sam was a bit overwhelmed. And would you check out Eliza's big ol' grin?!? I love it!

Sam and Owen are about four months apart. Do you think they sort of have the same shape eyes? I guess they ARE cousins.On our way out, Gary stopped by this place. This is the place he first told me he loved me. How fitting to revisit on Valentine's Day a few years later. The week prior to V-Day, my parents were in town! It was fun to see them and hang out. I think they REALLY came to see Sam. I'll take their visit either way!
There is a free Anne Frank display in ABQ right now, so we went to it. It was really interesting and we ran out of time so I didn't get to see the whole thing. I'll for sure be going back before it's gone.
My Mom babysat Sam and my Dad, Gary and I went to the Temple...It was so nice! I've missed it!

This is Sam and I on our first day to Church. Well, Sam's first day and my first day since Sam was born. Can you tell how excited we both are?
And of course, Gary and I had to take my parents to Dions...our favorite joint here in Albuquerque when we only want to spent $10.00 on dinner. We love it! I craved their salad every day for a while during my pregnancy.
A few weeks before my parents came out, Gary's Mom came to meet her 30th Grandchild. While she was there, we worked on some 'baby book' stuff. It was quite the hilarious scene trying to get a hand print!
We went for a drive while Peggy was here and showed her the beautiful grounds at the Albuquerque Temple. Gary's into that whole landscape thing...if you didn't already know.
Lots of this was done while Grandma Fears was here...Sam was LOVING all the lovin' he got from his Grandma!
AND, we went to Texas Roadhouse. Have I ever told you how I eat my weight in rolls and cinnamon butter everytime we go? No wonder I can't get rid of all this baby weight! Hmmm.

I love EASTER!

Because of these bad boys. It's a very good thing they are only available during Easter or I'd be eating them all year long. I can't refrain...I eat way too many bags of these during the Easter candy shopping season (I have to eat as many as I can before they're gone for another year!). Aside from how delicious they taste, they also remind me of my friend Kellie (who lives way too far away) EVERY TIME I eat them! She LOVES them! Don't you Kellie?!? Can you get these in China girl?
