Here's an inside look at our Cinco de Mayo family night we had on Monday. Patrick had the fun idea that we could have a fiesta night for FHE and I'm always up for Mexican food. So, I made
Dandelion Mama's sour cream enchiladas, Peg's tomato guacamole, black beans and pina colada smoothies. Yummy! The enchiladas were fabulous - kind of a mix of my usual sour cream enchiladas and red sauce enchiladas. We put meat in ours (the recipe called for black beans) but I think they would be awesome vegetarian style too.
Carter and his smoothie. He actually ended up not liking it and asked for juice. What?! Anyone who knows me knows that I looove pina colada smoothies and I spend entire vacations by the pool consuming them. Ah, good Hawaii memories. Oh well, more for me!
Dylan and his dinner
Jake and his tasty smoothie
The boys getting ready to have a toast!
Ay caramba! Of course, no evening would be complete without a major wrestling match with Dad! Yep, Carter has on a pillowcase cape. He's Xander, the green Power Ranger! FYI, we've had a much better week. We have the old Carter back, I think. At least until the next phase rolls through...
Oh my, how I love these four boys! Thanks for a fun night.

Good job on such a yummy dinner. I'll definitely give those enchiladas a try. I can't believe Carter didn't go for the smoothie! I love the after dinner wrestle. Patrick looks very out numbered. You'll have to make this a Cinco de Mayo tradition.
I forgot to say that I like all the haircuts! Owen needs one sooo bad. I just got mine done last week, it's super cute and blonde.

Cute boys! Way to go with the full on dinner! You'll have to send the recipe. I love any good Mexican food! Carter has grown a foot since I last saw him! Your kids grow up too fast!
Yummy! Good job on the food and celabration. We didn't do anything because I was at the gym until 6:45 PM. I am now obsessed with Yoga and pilates and have to go Mon-Fri.
Hey, thanks for giving the vegetarian version some consideration! The only way to go. I'm with Carter though....not on the smoothie, but on the pina colada! I'm definitely a strawberry banana daquiri (why doesn't this comment thing have spell check?)girl! Despite our differences, I still think we could work out a LOVELY day at the pool/beach with our drink of choice!
Delicioso! I love Mexican too! Still looking for the best enchiladas here in UT.... Someone asked me the other day if Cinco de Mayo always falls on the 5th of May! Hello??
Okay - it happened again. I leave a comment and it didn't work. Strange. Fun celebrations! Scott decided to have a Cinco de Mayo party here too! We had limeade with lime slices on our glasses, guac, corn muffins and our old standby burrito since it was a last minute plan.
We can't wait to see you guys! It's been too long!
Yummy! All this food sounds so good! We had Dinosaur Chicken nuggetts that night! Yep- Gourmet! (is that how you spell it?) I can't believe those cute boys so grown up!
Hey, I'm so glad you like them! Everyone looks like they had a ball. Happy Cinco De Mayo, a few days late!
