The sky is the limit...

Mike took advantage of the beautiful day and pointed out jets to the boys. They were just a little interested.......ha ha!

Sleeping with mom...

When I was little, the only way to sleep in my mom's bed was when my dad was out of town. I loved it! What is it about sleeping in your parents room that is so comforting? Being allowed to sleep with my mom was like having a sleep 0ver at your own house.

So at midnight when I heard the pitter patter of little feet coming towards my bedroom, I welcomed Preston in my warm bed. After all, Mike was out of town. Although this was not the first time he has slept with me, I could not help but appreciate my mom and the sacrifice of decent sleep so that I could feel special in her bed. Thank you mom!

Is it possible?

Is it possible to have a child that looks like me? As I have said before, Preston IS his dad. In every way. Lately...well actually always...people tell me that Mason looks like me. I decided to bring out a couple of baby pictures of me and compare them to Mason. What do you think? Is it possible?

Kimmer!

One of my best friends came to visit over the weekend! Kimm and I have known each other for about 6 or 7 years. I adore her! Fortunately for her but unfortunately for me, she left Arizona for California 5 years ago. How dare she! We spent the weekend catching up with some of her old friends and laughing so hard that my stomach is still sore! The boys were in love too! Within minutes of seeing her again, Preston (it had been 2 years) was hugging her and saying "I love you!"

Come back soon!!!

My life in 3 pictures-

Seriously...I have the funniest boys. I had mentioned underwear on the head before....well here ya go. Out of nowhere this morning they came running in my bathroom while I was getting ready and jumped into the bathtub wearing THIS:

Fun in the snow with the Maxwell's

We had so much fun visiting the snow with Uncle Bryan and Jeffrey. It was Jeffrey's first time seeing snow so that made it even more exciting!!

Hispanic by marriage-

I was blessed to have been brought up eating the best food prepared by my Grandparents. Yummy tortillas, enchiladas, beans, red and green chili and much more. For New Year's Jamie invited us over for a Mexican Fiesta. When we discussed what our family would contribute, Kirb offered to make my grandparents signature red chili. This was not his first attempt at making it but my first to blog about it. The guy is amazing. Have I said that before? Anyway, after working in the kitchen for quite a while-the smell was heavenly and brought back memories from my childhood and the taste was incredible too. Although to make it perfect, it would require my grandpa's tortillas but I must say it came pretty darn close. I have had it left over about 5 times since then and keep thanking him over and over again for being so ambitious and such an awesome cook. He always tells me that if you can read a recipe that you can cook too. I say nope. Not true. He's a natural. Thank you for out of this world chili sweetheart!
