Memories

Adam came home from work the other night and was telling me about an article he read about a one year old who was only given two weeks to live. He was saying how it was such a sad article and couldn't imagine going through such an ordeal. At the end of the article the parents urged all of their friends to make memories with their children. That they need to make the most of each moment and have fun.

We were sitting at dinner as he was telling me about this and eating Mexican food. I was having a hard time trying to get Brody to eat the beans and gave up. Then Adam looked at me with his mischievous smile and gave Brody the FULL bowl of beans, and simply said "make memories."
We do random stuff like this with Brody every once in awhile but for some reason this time had a little more meaning. It was so cute to watch Brody with the bowl of beans. At first he was somewhat hesitant and then attacked.








I know this is a small step in making memories but it was fun for me to see Adam excited about making memories and not have me nagging all the time! :)

Also, this weekend we had my little sister Kristen stay with us because my parents were up in Sedona with some friends. She is leaving to go to college soon and so one of the things she wanted to do was go and get milk shakes and fries at Johnny Rockets, which we did and I forgot how delicious they are. Kristen loves to eat Mac & Cheese, like it is a staple in her diet, and she also loves brownies. So for dinner one night that is exactly what we made!

Brody loved the boxes!



It was such a fun few days that she was here. She is such an amazing sister and Aunt. We will totally miss her when she goes away for school, but excited for her!
