So i thought I would put up a few pictures of Jude for everyone to see. He is 6 months old already and getting so big.  Anyways, I am very behind in sending pictures....so here we go...
(and I have no idea how to take off the underline.  Enjoy!!!

So this Friday night Jude is officially taking his first trip (with us of course) to CA.  I have to admit I'm a little nervious traveling with a 3month old, but thankfully we are on the direct flight to LAX.  So if any of you have any great ideas of how to travel with an infant...just let me know.

By the way we are heading to CA for a missions weekend at Mariners church in Newport Beach. We will be there from this Saturday until next Wednesday with the possibility of driving over to Las Vegas to see Cirque de Soli show "O." Which would be amazing. 

Then next Wednesday night we head down to San Diego to visit our family there and then we are back to Peru on the 28th. It should be pretty fun since our pastors here (the Barrigers) and our good friends Jordan and Vaness Durso will also be in this trip. We also have another trip that we are all going on in July to Australia!!!!!!!!! If you can't tell I'm pretty excited. One because Ps. Robert is paying our way,  two because Ps. Robert is one of the speakers (thus we get to go to help manage his schedule, booth, info on Peru) and three.....IT'S AUSTRALIA!!!  Probably one of the most beautiful areas in th world.

So that's the traveling plans so far.....hopefully I will be able to post pics of Jude's first of many more times that he is going to be traveling internationally. :)  

I will leave you with this incredibly cute pic of him in his boardshorts at his first day at the beach. Seriously...he is so cute!

Ok...so I have been horrible at updating xanga....I've been a little better at Myspace and Facebook, but it seems like everytime I have time to update this thing it's when I'm in the US.

Speaking of the US....as many of you know I have been living in Peru - a third world country - for over 6 years now and I have never had what has happened to me this past week happen to me while I have been in Peru - again a third-world country.

So first of all, I was in Taco Bell the other day with my dad and I just happened to find a huge hair/fuzz (not the normal size) in my taco. Honestly, it didn't gross me out that much, but I did let them know about the problem. They were gracious...gave me my money back and then gave me a free coupon for a value meal. Cool...I liked getting my money back.

Then a few days later we went to this really nice restaurant with the whole family. I ordered Filet Mignon and asked for Medium under the direction fo the waitress because that how it was going to be nicely pink in the middle. It came back back totally done and very hard...no pink. So I showed the waitress and she was more than willing to change it out for me. So by the time everyone finished their meals, I got my second Filet Mignon.....i think it was moo-ing. It was definitely NOT pink...it was red and practically bleeding. The waitress again, felt terrible and sent it back to get cooked a little more. Finally got the steak right on the third....and again got a free meal out of the deal. Not bad for twice in a week.

Then yesterday...to top it off. We were at Red Robbins....everyone ordered burgers and I ordered the rice bowl. We got our food and I started cutting away at the chicken on top and picking at the vegetables and rice when all of a sudden I saw a wod (sp) of paper in the middle of my rice bowl. Now I have need a lot of things in food, but I don't think I've ever seen a wod of paper slightly smaller than a golf bowl in my food. Of course the management was very sorry and for the 3rd time that week....I got a free meal.

How crazy is that....well just had to share.

Also, just to let you all know I am not officially 30 weeks along in the pregnancy and have definitely go the baby belly going on. It's hard to believe that Jude is going to be here in about 10 weeks. :) I am so excited!

Hope all is well with everyone!
