sweet tooth

Like his father, little bejos has a bit of a sweet tooth. We don't indulge it too often but after another snowy outing we warmed up with hot cocoa, and a peppermint stir stick. As sweet as it gets.

 Obviously it was good to the last drop

March Madness

Although basketball is the main event around here these days...with mr. bejos winning the pool so far...the real madness is the weather outside. A late March snow storm of epic proportions is dumping inches and inches upon us this cold windy Sunday. We have shoveled twice and continue to watch the plows travel up and down the streets with unwaning excitement each and every time.
"Mama, plow!"

the post

There is nothing better than a hand-written letter.
My BFF is fantastic at it.
And so are my nephews.
Or, to be more accurate, my to-be sister in-law.

Letter writing campaign

Sitting down for an enchilada dinner the other night, mr. bejos and I almost gagged, literally, from the overwhelming salt level that the enchilada sauce lent to the meal. OMG, it was simply the very worst.

Typically mr. bejos is the king of letter writing campaigns to companies whose products don't live up to his standards. Candy bars, canned beans, you name it. Well, after tossing the entire dish of spinach mushroom enchiladas I promptly drafted an on-line letter myself.

Less than a week later I got this pile of coupons in the mail. Funny, right?

It didn't quite make up for the lost meal, but mr. bejos did...by making me an entire new pan of enchiladas for when I arrived home from my weekend away. Good man, a very good man.

the desert

**forgive the bluriness. I have gotten a little lazy as of late and snapped many of my pics straight from the phone. Who am I kidding...there was no way I was going to carry my Pentax, the little bejos and hold on to Cooper at the same time.

The boys on their own

While I was away the boys kept busy without me.
Being boys they apparently felt the need to show their manly-hood by visiting the local big box hardware store.







And look what they built together.

A weekend away

As I have mentioned, work takes me away from home on occasion. This occasion was the conference that my organization puts on every year. Many months of work and it is over in such a short amount of time. Last year baby bejos joined me in Utah since mr. bejos was on the river. As much as I love my little munchkin I was quite grateful for the solitude of the long drive and the company of professional peers.
