why didn't I think of this before??

So...for awhile I've wanted an herb garden. I tried growing some herbs from seeds-twice. And both times I failed. Either I'm no good at growing stuff or AZ is just too FREAKING hot (did you know we've hit 100 already..several times..). I'd love one of those nifty aero gardens but there is NO way cory is letting me spend the over $100 that would cost-yeah right :) Anyway, today I picked up a couple of herbs at target in pots-already growing. I put them in the little hanging thing over our kitchen window. Basil and Cilantro-herbs I use a LOT. They were $1.99 apiece. Even just using what is on the plants (like if they die tomorrow) this is cheaper then buying herbs in the grocery store (for the basil at least)...DUH!!!

OH YEAH and this is my new favorite enchilada recipe. I made it last Sunday. YUM

Obama's First 100 Days-three articles

Different perspectives on Obama's first 100 days. In the interest of bi-partisanship, I'm putting the more pro Obama one first.

Friday evening hike

Last Friday I convinced Cory that the three of us should go hiking at South Mountain. It was actually Harrison's second hike but the first one (me and Jen at Squaw Peak) did not provide opportunity for picture taking..(I tripped over my two massive feet and fell towards the end and it freaked Harrison out a bit). This time he LOVED bouncing along with daddy in the baby bjorn.

Ready to go!
Harrison also loved to have the chance to spit up on the side of his carrier and then lick it..YUMMY!!!
pathetic attempt at a family shot-we ran into my mom on the way down and she took a picture of us on my real camera..maybe I'll post that one later...
staring up at daddy
Arizona does have it pretty spots :)
and this one is totally unrleated and I know has crappy shadows but Harrison was sleeping and making an angry face---he sure knows how to amuse his mommy!!!
