Yum Yum to the Tum Tum

Our little BM is five months old! It's hard to believe at times. This past week his palate has been introduced to all sorts of vegetables. His favorite is butternut squash -his dad is outnumbered so we can put it on the menu every night! He still takes advantage of the 24 hour milk bar but often forgets to leave a tip. I guess I can thank him for burning a few calories for me.

We weren't fast enough. He grabbed the jar and tried to lick it clean.

Bella

We're big fans of Redbox. I love that we can rent movies for $1! We usually end up paying more because it takes us a while to get around to watching a movie or we forget to turn it in the next day. HeRoos and I have very different taste in movies so we usually take turns picking them out.

We rented "Bella" and had no idea what to expect. Both of us really liked it! It was clean, a little sad at times, and a good, solid story line (something we've been yearning for). If you rent it, be sure to watch Behind the Scenes. It seems like the directors and actors share a common thread that is rare these days-integrity.

Fun Weekend

We joined my parents, brother and his family at an Ogden Raptor baseball game on Friday night. The game was looong but I was completely entertained with the kids. We were sitting within feet of the Missoula team. Their conversation was definitely not "G" rated. It's a good thing the kids haven't developed easve dropping skills yet.
I hope my sister in law writes a post (Halhouse) about the missing hair bow. It is too funny but not my story to tell.

The church stake that my parents attend, sure know how to party. In the morning, they had a golf tournament and in the evening, they rented out the local pool and had a barbecue. It appealed to all ages. We had a fun time and didn't want it to end.

BM's first time in a swimsuit. Isn't he a cute, white, chubby bald man!

If you look really close, you can see Peanut coming out of the slide and G.R. waiting for him. I'm in the blue bikini on the left. I changed my hair color for the day and my exercise program is really working. :)

G.R. and Walnut

Read the sign above my head. Seriously, who leaves the water for "Number 1?" Number 2 is a whole different story!

The fun weekend ended at the Halhouse. We enjoyed their new deck and BM finally got a decent hair cut. Clippers work a lot better than scissors.

Happy Wife

Plus this


Equals ONE very happy wife!

How does that saying go??? A happy wife is a happy life. Well, we're all pretty happy around here. HeRoos' hard work finally paid off and our downstairs bathroom is finished! There were one too many times that I had to wobble my pregnant or broken body upstairs. Now that the project is over, our garage is no longer a work area but the home to BOTH of our cars. This is the first time EVER!

Let's Talk Favorite Restaurants

Yesterday while I was eating at Rumbi grill and Max was sleeping away, I had time to think. My thoughts usually turn to food. I have a few favorite restaurants that I like to eat at. Here they are in no particular order with my favorite dishes:

*Martine Grill- Portobello Mushroom Sandwich on a wheat bun.

* Rumbi Island Grill-Hawaiian Mahi-Mahi blackened. Instead of the rice and Caesar salad, I get a generous portion of their house salad. It is delicious but gives me dragon breath.

* California Pizza Kitchen- The garlic chicken pizza OR anything on their menu. I love it all!

* Tepanyaki Japanese Steakhouse- Sushi, sushi, and more sushi!

* Bombay House- Chicken Coconut Kurma, Naan, and for dessert...Peshawari Naan.

* Chili's Bar & Grill- I don't think you can go wrong here. I have three favorites. Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad, Fajitas, and Monterey Chicken and of course dessert...Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie

* Red Robin- I have to include this place for their bottomless beverages (Freckled Lemonade) and Mountain High Mudd Pie! Mmmmm Mmmm Good!

* Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill- Fish tacos, chips, and guacamole.

* Cafe Rio- All of their salads are fantastic! I also like their pork burrito, enchilada style.

I am salivating just thinking about all the delicious food out there. Don't get me wrong, I like to cook but doesn't food always taste better when someone else prepares it, serves it, and cleans up?

I'm open to new places and suggestions. What are your favorite restaurants and menu items?

Fresh Mountain Air

We joined HeRoos' family in the Uintah Mountains for the weekend. We had a great time talking, making crafts, fishing, hiking, eating, roasting marshmallows, playing games, and paddling across the lake.

BM with his Grandpa Vinn and Grandma Trudy



I enjoyed watching my man do all the work while I sat back and sipped on lemonade with an umbrella.





Fortunately BM played hard so he slept well at night. HeRoos kept waking me up to tell me that BM was sleeping hard. thanks!






Looks normal, right? Scroll down for a closer look...

The fish didn't seem to bite anymore with live bait but it sure cooled HeRoos off. ;)

BM Turned Over a New Leaf

Remember my very fussy baby? Well, no more! BM started rolling from his tummy to his back last Friday and ever since, he's been a new baby. It's a good thing too because there have been a few occasions that I was tempted to call the Stork and ask for a refund. :) He still has his moments but now they're "moments" and not hours.

Tummy Time is one of those "moments" so you're going to hear him screaming.


He has also been losing his soft, thick hair but only in the front (from the ears forward). We took matters into our own hands and cut the hair in back. It's only a slight improvement but it's challenging to cut a baby's hair while they're awake and squirming so I cut it while he was feeding. Not the best angle.

Stay tuned for an after picture.
