Good Ol' St. Patty

St. Patricks Day has always been a favorite for me! Maybe because I had an Irish friend in high school- and each year we would make a "green feast" to celebrate. I really think it's funny that you MUST wear green or get pinched! Who makes these things up? Jerett was on the prowl all day, just waiting for the opportunity to catch someone unprepared!

As you can see, it was a goofy day for us, definately unique. The "green eggs and ham" was a fun way to start the day. It looked scary, but, according to the boys, tasted just fine. (I didn't dare eat any. The cookies, however, were a different story- I had more than my fair share!) To top off the day, we had the traditional corned beef and cabbage for supper. YUMMMMMMMMM!

Monkey See, Monkey Do, Jesse James is 2!

How time flies when you're having fun! And this is one fun kid! He's pleasant, happy, content, smart, funny and all around a GREAT BIG JOY to have in our home. Everybody loves Jesse.
We did this photo shoot to get a pic for his invitations. He thought he was so funny and acted just like a little monkey!

For his party this year, we served pasta bar and enjoyed an evening with family, a bit of basketball (it is, after all, the middle of March) and a moment of "my presents". To Jesse, everything is "mine" and this really was his day to shine. It was fun to celebrate this sweet little boys life. Thanks to all for coming and bringing so many fun "my trucks" and "my toys"!

Let's Go Fly a Kite



One of my NOT so favorite things about spring is the WINDY weather. We've lost trampolines (yes- that's plural) and a swingset (it's true) to the gusts which can get up to 60 mph. It's pretty crazy. One breezy afternoon this week, Duston decided to put the winds to good use and got out our old kites. Despite the cold and a few mishaps with the trees, the kids had a good time. It wasn't quite as pleaseant as the strong, steady coastal winds of past "beach" flying, but for the desert, the experience was pretty sweet.
