HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVERFACE!!!

We just celebrated Cahlan's 28th Birthday on Sept. 1. We made french toast with Buttermilk syrup YUMMY! Served in our "YOU ARE SPECIAL TODAY" (and every day) plate. Then for dinner we went to Tucanos Brazilian Grill AWESOME!! And Cahlan got 2 tickets to the BYU vs. Air force football game. He is so excited to go especially now that BYU beat Oklahoma.
I can't believe that Cahlan is almost 30. It's so crazy. I feel so lucky to be married to such an amazing person. He is my perfect match in every way. I love you man and look forward to making you breakfast until my hands are so arthritic that I can't do it any more. (That is supposed to sound sweet not scary).

Our Houston Trip.

So back in August we were able to go down to Houston for my Dad's retirement party. My dad is a firefighter and had worked at this station for 37 yrs 8 months and 4 days. I don't think I have ever seen anyone that enjoyed their job as much as my dad has his. I think it's been on of the hardest things he has ever done. But the party was really neat they made a slide show of his life, family and life at station 31. As you can see in the pictures they also made him this beautiful memorabilia case with an axe engraved with his name and his years of service. One of the firefighters carved a beautiful helmet out of wood and my mom got a quilt made out of all of his different shirts and some pictures.
Anyways it was really neat to see how many people came to show their love and appreciation for my daddy.



We had so much fun with Nana and Papa Meraz, and all of Emmy and Cohen's anut's, uncles and cousins.

We had a birthday party for Reese my brother's little boy he turned 2 they had a pinata for the kids, it was so much fun.


Baby but cheeks, That is actually my cousin, Texann's little boy's bum. I thought it was funny that his little cheek was just hanging out.

Sitting outside watching the kids playing in the sprinklers in my parents awesomely huge backyard made me want a house SO badly.

We had so much fun thanks for everything familia.

New Blog!!!

So I've decided that I want to start writing about stuff ... that's right, stuff. So I sometimes have the most random thoughts, I mean really random, like last night Cahlan and I were talking about how he could probably make it onto a football team as a water boy, which somehow through a tangled mess of thought tangents lead me to think about this one creepy looking red-headed actor that always plays a nerd, a bully or a nerdy psycho...which then lead me to start thinking about associations that our mind makes and how fascinating it is that we make associations with or for things and because of that our behaviors, likes and dislikes can be strongly effected by those associations. Anyways so as you can tell this is a very concise description of my actual thought process. So the point is that I want this blog to be my family, pictures/ stories bloggie blog. And I want my new blog (mymindbullets.blogspot.com) there's the plug, to be my outlet for my mental regergitations, or even to talk about a book I'm reading or something new I've learned or anything that might make me sound smart. So if you would like to enter a world that is most likely controlled by ADD please visit me at (here it is again) www.mymindbullets.blogspot.com GOOD LUCK!
