hello weekend, give us some love

Hello weekend. We are ready for you.

There is just a few things I ask of you. Let's have some sleep and for the love, please send us some sun (minus the cold wind).

Cash has recently found his swim goggles and has been wearing them non-stop. I guess they have replaced his winter goggles for now. My favorite is when they get fogged up from being so sweaty and hot on his head. He always has to have an accessory on him. I love it.

Max has been sporting a nasty cough and cold since last weekend. I haven't slept through the night since last saturday, and my back hurts from bouncing and toting around a very unhappy baby all day long, all week long.

The rain and cold weather hasn't helped things. I'm not at my wits end, but I'm exhausted to say the least.

Big plans for the weekend anyone? We will be celebrating Ry turning one year older to old man status. Our plans to spend the birthday weekend down town and over night were foiled by Max's poor timing in getting sick. Thanks a lot Max. But we will party all the same.


Tonight we are taking the boys to our new favorite custard and frozen yogurt joint for a pre-birthday celebration, then I'm planning on making this amazing french toast casserole for Ryan to wake up to. IT is heaven, but takes 12 hours of pre-soaking time to reach it's prime yumminess.


I hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

done and done

I actually got Max's baby announcements mailed out today. Wonders of wonders, miracles of miracles. Does anyone care that he is already 6 months old and looks nothing like the picture I enclosed? Oh well.

it's on!

Just to let you all know... our favorite snow shack, cup o sno, has officially opened for business for the summer season, as well as opened a second location.

Cup o sno has THE best shaved ice and the most yummy non-syrupy (is that word?) tasting flavors. Word is out that the sandy location had over a 60 minute wait this years on the day of it's seasonal grand re-opening. It is that good.

Here I am enjoying nectarine with ice cream at the bottom. Boohyeah! I couldn't be happier. I guess it can rain all it wants, as long as I can eat like it's getting closer to summer.

Go get yourself one. You won't be sorry you did:
2640 west 9000 south, west jordan (in the reams parking lot near the conecutters)

or

8725 highland drive, sandy (in the fiesta village shopping center near the car wash)

batman

Jack is thoroughly obsessed with Batman. He's been him twice for Halloween (probably will be again this year), has more action figures then he can keep track of, and can usually be found flying around the house as him, chasing the Joker and other such villains.

He recently has started some portraitures. This one is my favorite.

ugh

Conversation between me and the checkout girl at the grocery store last night:

Her: Oh, hi! Where are your boys?

Me: Home in bed thank goodness.

Her: You look different.

Me: Oh yeah?

Her: Yeah? (very perplexed) Oh wait, I know what it is. You're wearing makeup.

Nice.
For the record, I'm always wearing makeup when I'm out of the house.
And hey, I just had a kid. Wait, no I didn't... that was 6 months ago.
I guess I need to try harder.

oh I can't wait

This solo album of Eddie Vedder comes out next Tuesday. I can hardly wait. Eddie Vedder is as cool as it gets.

He says he hopes that Ukulele Songs would encourage listeners to step away from their computers and televisions and make some music of their own, preferably with friends. I love that.

Here is a listen.

6 months

My little max-a-million turned 6 months this week. Time flies when your not really sleeping. Oh I love this little lima bean. He is so happy and mello and puts up with so much "in your face" attention from his two big brothers.

I really can't believe he was ever this small and saggy-baggy. His thighs have plumped right up and the mohawk I've loved so much is starting to finally flop over like an old man come-over.

We love you max!
