HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!



Out here in Arizona we celebrate Cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May) which celebrates the Mexican culture and heritage. The Mexican food restaurants are crowded with people eating delicious food and drinking Margaritas while Mariachis wander the aisles. We decided to stay home and fix fajitas...ok so that's technically Tex-Mex but they're so tasty! Spring has come to the desert and everything is in bloom and beautiful. I took some photos around our neighborhood along with some more of Nate.

IT'S MORE FUN TO JUMP ON A BLANKET 
COVERING PILLOWS AND CUSHIONS!





WATCH OUT HARVARD!



EATING JELLO IS REALLY FUNNY!

I LOVE THIS SIMPLE WALL WITH THE PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS ON OUR ROAD

I THINK THESE ARE DESERT BELLS. THE BEES SURE LOVE THEM
