Happy Birthday!

hugs and kisses!

Bath time

Who doesn't have a photo of themselves, as a baby, in sink?

These dusty summer days and the need to be outside has meant more frequent baths for baby bejos.

Color testing: proof that we are making progress on the kitchen!

I had certainly hoped to have the kitchen finished by now, but no such luck. We can't decide on a paint color for the wall and need to figure out a backsplash too. In the meantime here are a few shots.

As you can tell it was an all hands on deck kind of project. 

A few hands were more helpful than others.

And I promise...there will be pics of the finished project soon enough.

River

Last week I had my first solo outing since baby came along. A little teary (sniff, sniff), I left my two boys all alone and headed for the river - for work.

It had been well over a year since my last river trip (a pregnant belly and a life jacket don't really work very well together) and I enjoyed every minute of it.  The only disappointment was that I was hoping for long luxurious hours of sleep but mother nature had other plans  that included a full moon, loud frogs,  and early morning song birds. 

While it is always fun on the river I was certainly glad to come home to my boys - both of who did fabulously in my absence.

Happy Father's Day!

To the fathers in our life...I love you all!

More of Mama and Papa Bejos

Although long gone, making their way across the US of A, we have a few more documented moments of mama and papa's visit here too

More of Nana's visit

In the flurry of visitors over the last month I neglected my posting of our days. 

So, rewind a bit with me to Nana G's visit over Memorial Day weekend.

we attended Sunday morning mass at San Xavier Mission, something I have always wanted to do

and checked out the old mining equipment in Jerome. 

I couldn't get enough of the rusty, aged equipment
