Ahhh-mazing

Farmer's Market Watermelon







I can't keep my hands off it. Delicious and juicy! I even gave Blaz a piece, he sucked out the juice and seemed to enjoy. Mmmmm

Takin' Care Mommy Style

Little munchkin's cradle cap has come back
with vengeance. I've been scrubbing his head
every day, but it's getting kind of icky this week.
I put olive oil on his head to help keep it moist and
I put this little hat on him so he wouldn't smear.
Cute!! His face looks so funny without hair. This
is him sitting up on the couch like a big boy with his
friend Paco the Leopard.

I can only trim Blaz's fingernails when he's sleeping
on my lap, but I last weekend I just couldn't catch
him asleep long enough in my arms. He was
scratching his face (see his nose in previous pic) so
last sunday I made him wear socks on his hands.
This is him at Abuelos' casa saying goodbye before
they leave to Mexico for a while. So handsome!

Blaz hiding from the camera while he enjoys his
bouncy chair from aunt Becky. And yes, this is
the only way I can take showers and cook dinner.
He hates the vibrating feature, but he likes kicking
his legs hard, making him bounce, and batting at
the toys. Cute!

I know though, this picture has nothing to do with this post,
but I like posts with pictures better anyway. Coupon
madness this week at Target, for all of you women with
hairy men, tune in.

Target's deal is buy 1 Gillette Fusion razor and 1 pkg. of
replacement blades and get a $5 gift card back.
I had coupons for:
$2 off any gillette razor
$4 off gillette replacement blades
Buy any razor and get a free gillette deodorant
Buy blades and get a free gillette shampoo

Whoohoo!! Cheap razor, cheap blades and free shampoo
and deodorant ($4 value each) and a $5 gift card
for next time.

I also got Pantene shampoo bottles for $1 each
(normally $6.99 each) at Walgreens, but the reason
they were extra cheap is because the cashier messed up,
felt bad and gave me double the rewards. I can't stop
touching my hair it feels so soft mmmm.

I did some good stocking up on Ziploc bags and fruit snacks
at Albertsons this week. I used the newspaper coupons
(thanks Grandma!) and came out smiling. Fruit snack
coupons are still on at www.coupons.com

Ok, done sharing. Target and Walgreens' sales end saturday
night, so hurry in!

Growing

Blaz is getting so adorably huge!!! I love his
chunky thighs, rolly arms and double chin.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from
our travels the last few weeks.

Cousin Eli and Blaz hanging out at the Howell
Reunion. Blaz gets a kick out of Eli.

Blaz and me attended our first ever rodeo
last friday. Tasia rode her horse Kia and won
a blue ribbon and a red ribbon in her events.
It was a little chilly and windy, but we had fun.
I can't believe my sister is a cowgirl, but she makes
a cute cowgirl ya? Here is Blaz sleeping with Grandma,
being entertained by Grandpa and the cowgirl herself.








This is Blaz being introduced to his cousin
Adriana (spelling?) for the first time. The
North reunion at Kris' apt. was a blast!!!

They tied the knot!!

Muchas Felizidades Tiffany and Gavin!!!


The wedding was beautiful. Tiffany's dress
was gorgeous, her flowers were adorable and
they both looked so happy! We were so happy
we got to be there, thanks for getting married
in Idaho Falls:) I love going to weddings and
remembering mine.



The luncheon was delicious and I loved the
pink and green decor. Blaz was a typical baby
(hungry, poopy, whiney, etc.) but we had a blast.

Dance Festival

We had so much fun at the dance festival this year.

I was a little nervous bringing a baby, but he did great.
The parade kind of bored him, he mostly slept. He
was awake and laughing during the street dance, then
fell asleep again. I've been going to the dance festival
since I was a little kid, I still love it no matter how
cheesy it gets. I can remember being like 13 or 14
and searching for "hot foreigners" with my friends
but now that I married my very own . . . just kidding!

Anyway, enjoy the pics. I will have lots to update
with the wedding tomorrow and the reunion saturday.
I'm so excited to see everybody!!



Juan, Blaz, Mom and Carl at the parade. There were
LOTS of people there and since we were a little late
we kind of had the worst spot, oh well.



Go Mexico dancers!! Always our favorite:)


Oscar and Ellie dancing away



Our family! Oscar took this picture and he thought
it was pretty funny that he only caught the top
of Blaz's head. Whatever . . .




Buenos Noches!

Family Pictures

We needed to take a family picture before Stew and
Becky left for WV, so it was a little impromptu and
we all could have dressed better, but here we are!

Our growing family.




Here are the kids, all 5 of us in birth order. Alex is
standing on his tiptoes, trying to appear taller next to
Carl and make me seem short.

This picture is my dad, his mom and his sister. Cute!!

P.S. Thanks cousin Kris for taking the pictures. I'm
so excited for this week!!
