P.A.R.T.Y.

the party was really good! the kids had a great time running amok and playing games. the house was chaotic and a disaster afterwards, but jonas had a great time and i wouldnt have it any other way.

i always have a big smile on my face when i'm getting hit with a bat as well.

oh my...

it cant have been 3 years already! seriously? its so cliche, but time flies! holy cow. my goose is getting so big and as handsome as ever. he is so funny and sweet. not as adventurous as mia, always a bit more cautious and such a tender heart. the other day he told me, "mama. i your best friend." it just melted my heart.

jonesy pie, i love you forever much.

wow.. i was so big. no wonder people asked if i was having twins. but i guess gaining 50 lbs in your belly (and ankles) will do that.

oh, what a sweet newborn. so quiet...

i'm probably more excited about the party than he is, but thats okay. the invites turned out really cute...

the monkey isnt quite finished yet.. and the zebra's are a little, well.. lets just say, thats why i put a label on them.

...like a lamb to the slaughter.
these babies arent going to last long with 9 kids around!

pin the tail on the tiger. (compliments of my mom for the picture) THANKS!

and home made palm trees. every safari needs palm trees.

while in san diego we saw a local station showing this recipe for mushroom, red onion, and blue cheese pizza. the guy preparing it was sort of nutty, but it sounded good. so today b-dog whipped it up in no time and it was SOOO good. a bit gourmet, but EASY gourmet.

we had a toast in honor of jonesy's upcoming birthday

it's hard basking in the sun all day

oh.. our trip to cabo was SO nice. i mean, it would be hard to make it not nice. but its good to be home. sadly part of our trip was crapped out becuase we had to miss one of our port stops. a guy on our cruise had a heart attack and we had to return to cabo after we'd already left. that meant to make up the distance we had to skip ensenada and we were on the boat for 3 straight days.. talk about cabin fever! anways, san diego was probably our favorite part. we had 6 hours between getting off the boat and our flight leaving so we grabbed a rental car and toured the city, hit some beaches, and decided that california is WAAAAY better than utah. here are our pics.
