MEXICO!

Family bath in the huge jacuzzi tub in our room. It was the kids favorite thing about the hotel :)

The view from our room! It was beautiful.

Peter and Noah loved swimming together. Noah is such a little fish.

On this day Noah was very tired and crabby so we decided to bury him in the sand to keep him put :)

Emme at the Wedding. She was a little doll.

We are back from Mexico and getting adjusted to schedules again. Noah and Emme did great on the trip and we all had a blast. Most of our days consisted of swimming, short walks, drinking fun slushy drinks, poolside service and snacks, mini golf, and a lot of food. The resort was very family friendly and had a lot to do. Peter and his friend Ben went sailing one day off the shore and saw a sea turtle. We also saw huge lizards and even a small alligator. The wedding was beautiful and a lot of fun. Noah loved to dance with Tonia, the bride, and when she was too busy he would move on to the bridesmaids. He is such a ladies man :) The plane ride was another story.... Noah had motion sickness on the descending part and threw up all over peter, Emme went through 4 outfits on the way home because she had huge blow outs, and our dvd player ran out of power right before the plane took off since we were delayed an hour waiting for our pilot to show up. All in all it was a good trip and we are blessed we could afford to take our family there. Congrats Matt and Tonia! Thanks for having your wedding in Mexico.

A few pics to keep the Grandparents happy while we are gone

Emme and Noah relaxing and having snack. If you look closely you can see that Noah is sitting in Emme's green bumbo seat.

Noah wearing my sling with his baby in it :) He likes to copy Mommy.

Mexico here we come!

Tomorrow, bright and early, we leave for Mexico!! We are going to the Riviera Maya for a wedding and family vacation. I cant wait to watch Noah on the beach. Life is much more fun seeing it through your 2 year olds eyes :) I am a little nervous about the flight and lay-overs, but I know that the Lord is watching over us. I have snacks, new books, dvd player, and other surprises for Noah on the plane. It should keep him busy for awhile.

Emme seems better today. Her cold is almost gone and I noticed that her second tooth popped through this morning. Hopefully she will be more content and happier than the last few days. And I pray that she will start sleeping through the night again. I am in need of some beauty sleep. The bags under my eyes are getting bigger :)

Well, that's about it for now. Today I have a full day of packing, cleaning and shopping planned. My mom is coming to help and watch the kids for me. Then tonight, Pete and I will go over our check list, pack the car with luggage, get the coffee machine already to go, and go to bed early. Our flight leaves tomorrow at 6:50 am!! If you have time, say a little prayer for us. I think we might need it with that early of a flight. I will post pics when we return!!!
