Facts of Life

Thanks to some help from the Eyre's book and the book below, I did it. I had the birds and bees talk with Elyse. It would have been pretty awkward had I not read pretty much verbatim from this book. Judge away, it was awesome. But boy am I glad its over!

Ginger Fried Rice

This was my version

This was smitten kitchen's. You must admit my photography skills are stellar, I should give this girl some tips ;) Click here for the recipe, boy it was GOOD!! And PS I love Smitten Kitchen!

(My eggs were over easy as we prefer them that way.)

24 Weeks!

If you and I are friends on FB you may have noticed that I posted a similar picture a few days ago. I had a small photo session with the self timer, I make a very intriguing subject for myself and I just couldn't stop taking pictures. Or it might have been I was blinking, Levi was jumping at the camera or something else that would make it 3 reasons. (did you watch 30 rock? if so then you will get the last thing. if not then you are lame.)

Colorado

I'm back. I know you all missed me.

I never blogged about my trip to Colorado a couple months back. I surprised my sister Alicia, who lives in Boulder, with a visit to give her a break and hang out. It was a great surprise, I snuck up behind her in the kitchen at 630am and grabbed her hah! it was great.

This is Sagey Poo and Mister Micah. She has THE sweetest children in the world, mostly because she is the sweetest mom in the world but also because I think she got really lucky in the obedient/sweet children department. Lucky duck.

Sadly when we're together we don't take pictures :( But we do have fun and I do lots of dishes.....hmm. She is due any day now with number 3 so I'll get to see her again soon! A huge shout out goes to the Can Man who (once again and as always) took charge of the house, children and unruly dog for a whole week so I could see Alicia. Seriously dude, you are thee best.

Fat Head

***For some reason i can't highlight my links in a different color, so i will indicate a link with this <<<<----- :)

Sorry for another video, but if you have Netflix you must watch this immediately! I love the Weston A Price <<--- (link, please click) philosophy of eating good quality animal fats and getting back to the way we used to eat! We are not a fat phobic family, in fact we eat a LOT of fat, I cook in butter or coconut oil. We eat red meat and cheese and WHOLE milk gasp! Anywho....you can also read here a bit <<---(link, please click if you can) about fats. And yes there is research to back all of this up.

TED talks

Please listen to this awesome TED talk. If you don't have time for all of it at least listen to the first 10 min. And see I am not the only one, there are so many people who are waking up and taking note of what they are eating!!

More pictures of Mexico

Lots of reptiles to be seen.

A crepe from the street that was really crispy and yum and of course a coconut. Don't judge I'm pregnant ;)

We stopped off to buy some shells on the roadside in our equivalent of the white trash part of town. The people selling the shells had approximately 12 small dogs, all scratching furiously and these interesting looking critters. When we asked what they were they told us raccoons. The only resemblance that I see is that evil little mouth with all the razor sharp teeth hiding inside. Oh and probably their propensity for eating trash.

Sigh. I really miss this, especially this week when it just won't be spring yet!!

This was the little main street that a lot of the restaurants were on, it was so lovely.

This is Mario. I met Mario when I came scuba diving with my dad here 7 years ago. He is still selling jewelry in the same area. Of course he remembered me, as I am so unforgettable. Or maybe he didn't but I like to think he was just being coy.

This is where we spent our days, snorkeling in this crystal clear water that was only about 4 feet deep at the deepest. (our hotel and the bridge are on the left.)

On the other side of the bridge was this beautiful scene, you could walk out as far as you can see. We had to watch out for small boats so we didn't get runned over.

Please note the purse, I kept telling Can that I would carry it but he just insisted. He said it went with his outfit.

The Cancun airport was just something else all together. This sign was above the fruit below....strange.

Also note the ridonkulous price on this bag of chips. This translates to about 10.50 usd for a normal sized bag of chips. Crazy. Also for sale, viagra, steroids and any other prescription drug that your little heart could desire.
