6 Years in the Making

What an adventure Matt and I have been on for the past 6 years. When I think about what we have lived over the (very fast) years I can’t be more thankful for what we have been handed…a committed, faithful, encouraging, patient (most of the time), supporting and most of all loving partner. Add 2 kids in there and we have a CRAZY, chaotic, AMAZING life. Praise you God.

Here is how we celebrated (with NO crazy, chaotic BUT amazing kiddos)…

A week full of pool, beach, Banana Mammas (my drink of choice) and lots of cuddling.

Zip Lined the Sierra Madres

This last set of pictures is of our 2nd excursion. We took a tour that included snorkeling and kyaking but then they took us to a little village that you can ONLY reach by boat. The city of 900 or less was called Yelapa (pronounced Je-loppa). The people live so simple and eat off the land. EVERYTHING has to be brought by boat so you can imagine how expensive it is for these people that have little to no money. They make as much as possible and grow what they can. That picture at the bottom left is some creature of the sea marinating in lime (not brave enough to try it, but Matt was and he liked it!). Just a little snack for the locals. The tour took us through the city to a waterfall and then to the beach where the river meets the ocean. The town was full of little treasures and was such a neat experience!

Here's to many more adventures!

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day. Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play. Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk). I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were. So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc. Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year, especially with Micah as he is fully aware of these characters who come and leave gifts throughout the year. This year the Easter Bunny left a trail of eggs in the hallway leading up to a candy filled Easter basket (I cringe thinking of the next dentist visit!). Matt and I loved hearing his little feet run through the hall and then to hear him gasp each time he found an egg was too cute! We recently became members of a new church and decided to go to mass there (we usually drive across town to our old church to go to special holiday masses with mom and dad). After mass we headed to Mom and Dad's and had an AMAZING feast! Micah was bouncing off the walls with the amount of candy he had eaten, and once again, Mom out did herself with the kids' baskets she made. Here are a few pictures!
