Juarez Ancient Family Recipe

A year ago at Olivia's homecoming I could not stop eating the black beans I finally had to ask ol' aunt Cherie for the recipe. When no one was looking she snuck into the pantry and gave me one of these...








We finally broke them out and just as I remembered they were the best I have ever had. We have been saving these for a special occasion, and tonight was the night! After muy rico tostadas I can't wait to see Calvin off on his mission! (By the way, when dose Sean get home!) To all you black bean lovers, these take the cake! On behalf of us all, we demand you reveal the market you get these from.

Lunch Date...

A couple weeks ago I got to go to lunch with Carmen. We ate at the Cannon Center, and then i took her back to school. I had such a good time with her. Hopefully i can go with the other J kids soon! It has been nice living in P-town because I get to see the cousins more often! Love all the cousins, hopefully we can all get together this summer!

It's coming...

We're proud of our Sue. Can you believe it's been ten years since she beat it?!

INVITE

A poem by Calvin Juárez:

Hi.
You can come to hear me talk on

April the 12 at 9:00 am.

You are also welcome to come say "Hi," on the Saturday prior (11 April)

You can meet some of my friends, too.

I'm not sure how much I'll be home on 12 April, as a friend of mine also speaks that day;

Furthermore I plan to attend all my meetings.

I'll be glad to see you whenever you can see me.

Thanks.  Love y'all.

Bye.

I'm not really a poet, but I think the necessary information is there.

to olivia & ben (and everyone)

do you need a digital camera?
post a comment if you'd like this pretty brown nikon L11.
for free.
because a girl just doesn't need two cameras.

M(a)yas squared.

Here is Maya and Mya at her blessing! We are so lucky 

to have two of them in 

the family! 

We love you both!

BABY JACK IS HERE!

Little Jack Jared Tyson arrived this afternoon, weighing 7 lb. 5 oz., measuring 19.5 inches! Mom and baby are doing great! Leslie thinks he looks like Jared--- I think he looks like Grandpa Ord!
We feel so blessed and feel all is well in the world today.... and can't wait to get back there to hold him!

Thanks for being the best big brother anyone could have!

I'm sure you've read this today, but in the spirit of journaling what goes on, and what may be interesting for Sam, Eric, and their sibs, cousins, 2nd cousins, etc to read in another 20 years - just thought i'd post this link! The official statement is well-said, of course.

Month #3

Happy March to everyone!!!  Maybe it's just me, but I think this month usually holds some cool experiences (especially as far as family goes).

Examples from my past:

• The birthdays of Olivia and Papá, I have celebrated for 16 years.
  
• Last March, Olivia came home from her mission.
  
• March has two holidays that are tons o' fun: Pi day, and St. Patrick's day!  Also, there is a song by one of my favorite artists called Casimir Pulaski Day (the song, not the artist) which holds a cool memory for me of how compassionate my sister is.
  
• This March, I get to say goodbye to some family, and go home to plenty more.
  

Hope all of your Marches can be a wonderful month!
