Adorable Vegetable Boy
I cannot resist, I must share a little story from our late night run to the grocery store last night.
I needed to pick up some cilantro for dinner this week (Yes, we commonly eat nothing but cilantro for dinner). So we made our way towards the fruits and vegetables. I was hunting near the lettuce in hopes of finding the cilantro, when the little water sprayers turned on. Boy, who was close by leaning on the handlebar of the cart, let out a little relaxing sigh and then proceeded to explain to me how "happy" the fresh fruits and vegetables section of grocery stores made him, and how peaceful he felt the water sprayers were. He went on and on about this and how he may even consider working in a vegetable garden someday because surely vegetable garden workers never had a bad day on the job...
For some strange reason, which I can't quite put my finger on.....this caught me EXTREMELY off guard and made me laugh hysterically. For I never knew that people had such strong, positive feelings about fruits and veggies.
On the way home with our cilantro in tow, I asked if other people knew about his love for lightly spritzed, fresh lettuce. He started in again about he was sure MANY other people felt the same way about fruits and vegetables as he did....So I ask you, blog readers, do you find your self squealing with delight in the produce section of your local grocery store? And the spritzers, how do you feel about the spritzers?
I guess next time Boy is having a bad day, I'll just neatly organize some fresh fruits and veggies on the kitchen counter and lightly spritz them with a spray bottle.
Boy, I hope you're having a great day off a work, BUT if you aren't....this one is for you.

Bajan Bash!
I guess there was some sparks generated from Ronan and Mya's blog...I'm finding myself way more interested in posting about life and taking more pictures. So much to cherish and love!
This post is long overdue, but nonetheless............Welcome to Living with Boy: Barbados Edition!
Yes, for those of you who know the Hintze Family and our lifelong quest of going to Barbados....IT HAPPENED!! Last Christmas was full of surprises, with the announcement of the beginning of my niece collection, being la fianced, and being gifted a family dream vacation to the beautiful island of Barbados!
My father was able to spend several months, SEVERAL years ago in Barbados on a LDS mission, so we'd always looked forward to going back there as a family one day.
It seemed like every summer starting when I was about 10, we "were going to go"! It took years, but August 13, 2012 we piled the luggage high and began our quest!
My mom and dad had done tons of research about where to stay and my oh my did they know how to pick vacation houses. We stayed in the BelAir house complete with pool and tennis court and people to clean up after me :)
The pictures are in no particular order, but please enjoy!
Now the list....."Ten things Barbados taught us"
1. Grandparents with diabetes should have one of those little "prick your finger" things.
2. The BelAir House REALLY does look like the brochure promised...maybe BETTER!
3. They drive on the left side of the road.
4. Fences are made of scrap sheet metal.
5. Hadley likes Pitbulls. Pitbulls like Claire
6. Passionfruit drinks are wonderful.
7. Chantel and Madison are VERY competitive with each other in California Speed and Tennis.
8. Mosquitos bite at night. ALOT.
9. Brad might be part Eskimo.
10. Dylan loves/hates the water. Troy LOVES water, salt or fresh!
Unfortunately, it's not pictured, but I was the first girl to bail off the cliff on one of our beach days....ask anyone!
Sorry Madison, didn't have many pictures of you besides the ones where you're "feeding" Claire. Want me to post those?? Grandpa isn't pictured once....but he was there for sure! Mom you're probably going to want me to take the pictures of you down like usual, BUT I won't. You're cute!
I wish I had taken more photos, but sorry! Thanks to Brent and Kell! LETS GO BACK!! :)
