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!

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 . the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...
