Happy Memorial Day !!

Well another week has passed and I have another funny Jonas story I have to share. Last night Jason, Nicole, Terry and I were sitting watching TV and visiting when Jonas arrived at around 9:30 PM. Jordan was out with his buddies and so it was relatively quiet up to that point. Jonas was in his usual high energy state running around and constantly being told to sit quietly etc. I am not sure how many minutes passed and Jason said "Hey where did Jonas go"? I started calling for him to come back into the family room and it took some time but finally he came in with Chili (the dog) and Jason noticed Jonas had some candy on his mouth so he said "Go see Gramma" and went to check out Nicole's room where she apparently had a stash of I believe it was runts. Jason came back in and explained that he had gotten into the candy. Terry looked at Jonas and said "Jonas, what did you do"? Jonas held his hands slightly out from his waist like he was going to explain something and said "Chili wanted some candy"! Like he really had no choice in the matter and was just obliging the dog. Jason and Nicole could not contain themselves and went laughing all the way out of the room, and I wasn't much better. It was absolutely hysterical. He is getting to such a cute age, he just cracks me up.

I found a recipe on the MSN homepage for Memorial day Grilling pleasure and we tried one tonight. It was so good. Eggplant, zucchini, squash, onion and bell peppers grilled in the BBQ, and the most delicious chicken all served on flour tortilla's with salsa and avocado. It was so nummy. Well in the morning it is back to the grind. I hope everyone had a nice long weekend.

Congrats to Jamie and Carly, I sent your card late...sorry. It seems no matter how hard I try to be on time with things I never am. I hate being late.

Love you all.

The Jonas story is so cute....I can just see him with his little hands out convincing the grownups :) The recipe sounds fabulous too. Does
Terry, or anyone, have a good recipe for salsa?

Here is the recipe that I used.

1 lb ripe tomatoes, seeded & diced
(I used them from a jar and just drained them)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbls lime juice fresh, 2 limes worked great
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced(I skipped this)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp frhly ground black pepper

It was really good.

Those are excellent pictures, but I meant with “his hands slightly out from his waist” and candy all over his face : )

Ok so I have looked at your blog everyday but did not read the title so I thought it was the old blog...wow sorry about that. I think that is the funniest Jonas story yet. It is scary how convincing he can be at the ripe age of 3. That recipe does sound insanely good. I am glad you had a good day off. I love you.
