ya salio.... love thursday...

our little boy is getting so big... today, while my sweetheart of a friend holly took me to lunch for my birthday... i noticed that jones had gotten his first tooth...

i cant believe that he is already 6 months old... crazy how fast life goes by...

something i want to remember: always remember to enjoy every moment no matter what... because soon that moment will be gone...

happy thursday!...

and now there are 14...

gwenth jane burr is the 14th grandchild on brents side of the family...

she was born saturday the 9th of august. although having a few complications (her lungs being under developed because of being born at 36 weeks) things are looking good and they should get to take her home from the hospital tomorrow! congratulations jared, karen, briant and max! what a beautiful little girl! we love you all and wish we could be there right now... cant wait to meet her!!!

love thursday... for as long as i can remember...

what do you get when you add...

and...

and...

...for as long as i can remember one of the first things we would do as a family when we arrived in utah is find an arctic circle. why?... so that we could indulge in one of their hot fudge marshmallow shakes. while we were in utah just over a week ago i am pretty sure that we had 4 or 5 of these shakes in the week we were there... yeah... that is how much my family loves them... however... i think we have found a new winner of the best tasting hot fudge marshmallow shake... in kanab at "big al's burgers at the junction" they have exceeded our expectations! arctic circle still did a good job even jcw's was good... but big al knew how to mix it!

... so... last night for family night we made our own, slighty mexican version... (mexican ice cream tastes a bit different, not necessarily bad, just different)

marshmallow creme + homemade hot fudge + vanilla ice cream = hot fudge marshmallow shake...

what was for dinner....

whenever we are in the states we go to the grocery store right before coming home... and... almost everytime we pick a few things new to try... this time brent found "dirty rice"...

it wasnt bad... not my favorite... but it was for sure just as interesting as its name!

the beach...

we had a very fun day at the beach saturday...

some of brents friends were here this last weekend... so... spear fishing was a must...

kevin and his catch...

stingrays...

jones & i chilled on the beach while they got their catch...

the water is so nice right now... it is perfect!

oh.... and just in case you are wondering what it feels like to get stung by a jelly fish, you can now ask brent... see the big red blotchy mark on his upper back, shoulder blade... and yes, brent did put sunscreen on this time... however he still has his weird looking suntan...

lunch date...

friday we went to one of our favorite places for lunch... la palapa..

greek food in mexico... who would have thought...

victory...

i finally won a settlers game!!!

i still have a lot of catching up to do... but at least it is a start...

love thursday...

i would like to call this "mothers bliss"...

today i was trying to put jones down for a nap and although i knew he was tired... he was not having it... then as i was holding him he just fell asleep and then i didnt want to put him down... every mother knows that feeling... and karen burr said it best... somethign like this... "when you finally get them busy doing somthing or entertained with something and you have a few moments to yourself... you then find yourself watch your child instead..." that was one of those moments... i loved it and cherished it!
