~Potty Training?~

I think it's getting close to potty training this little girl. Today she brought me everything to change her diaper and said "Mommy Stinky." Perfect timing because our other 2 kids were potty trained by their Dad when I leave on my sister trip in the month of May. May is coming up and I'm leaving for 5 days! Just enough time for daddy to potty train #3. I Love you Ryan and I am so lucky to be married to you. Happy 35th Birthday tomorrow!!

Sick~Sick~Sick

I hate when you have sick kids. My kids have been sick on and off for the past 2 weeks. Kenadi hadn't gotten any of the sickness until just a few days ago she started coughing and feverish. Then yesterday she got the flu. The worst thing a baby can have. It's very difficult cleaning up both ends! She finally let me lay her down on the couch to go make lunch and this is what I found in return. Poor baby. I hope she gets over this fast. We're sick of the sickness.

~Trip to Cancun~

Me and Ryan at the Japanese Restaurant at our resort.

Waiting for our friends to arrive.

My HOT husband posing for the camera. We kept waiting and waiting for Carlan and Kristen to arrive...Surprise, surprise, always waiting for the Reeses! Love you guys.

Me and Tawnya getting ready to eat. Again.

Margaritas! Sin alcohol! I don't know how many times we said that to the waitors. NO ALCOHOL!!They thought we were crazy all 10 of us ordering drinks with no alcohol. They were pretty yummy.

Ryan and Dave smiling big for the camera with their hats. Who knows how many heads those have been on. SCARY and NASTY!

Kelly, Carlan, Ryan, and Dave. Pretty good looking optometrist. :)

Las Chicas..I love you girls. Wish I lived closer. :(

These guys were everwhere down here.

Ryan, Dave, and Carlan taking in the sites at Tulum.

The Girls at Tulum. These ruins were amazing. If I were Aztec royalty this is where I would have built my palace too.

The Temple at Tulum. Right over that hill where this ruin is there is a huge cliff overlooking the ocean. Beautiful!

The guys on the beach beneath the ruins.

This is probably the clearest water I have ever seen.

More of the Tulum Ruins.

Tawnya and Dave on 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen.

Eating yet again.

Carlan and Kristen in the Cenote (underground cave where you could snorkel).Amazing!

The fellas coming off the zipline into the underground cenote.

Every night the maids would make some towel sculpture on the bed. This was the one on Valentine's Day.

Swings at a bar on Playa del Carmen. Kristen, Tawnya, me, Valarie, and Allison.

All in all, it was a great time with perfect weather, great friends, and did I mention a lot of food? Time to hit the diet again I guess. Can't wait until we do it again. We missed you Todd and Kristy!!

~CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY~

It's been a while since I've posted. This year is just cruising by. I can't believe it's already February!Aunt Cara sent these cute pictures of the kids, so I had to post them and show off her work. Dang our kids are cute!! Check out her website Capture Photography.

~Rocky Point~

BrookeLyn and Kenadi walking along the beach.

My Mom and Leslie posing for the camera. We don't like Les when it comes to pictures because she knows how to pose and we don't.

Ryson and Bryce feeding the birds.

Every year my family will take a trip together right before Christmas. I know it's not like we're already busy enough. This year we went to Rocky Point, Mexico and stayed in a 8 bedroom 7 bath house. It was so much fun. We had 32 family members there. We ate, shopped, went to the beach, laughed, cried, and ate some more. I think we all gained at least 5 pounds. We missed you Jac, Brig and Randy!!

~Busy, Busy Busy~

We have been going, going, going for the past 2 weeks to Christmas concerts, piano recitals and dance performances. BrookeLyn had her performance for jazz and ballet this past weekend. She's been moved up to a class with girls that are in High School. Her and her friend Macie are the only 2 girls that are in 4th grade. Pretty impressive and they think they are HOT stuff being in the older class. They did such a good job. I am so proud of BrookeLyn and how she's always pushing herself.

~Hot Chocolate~

I think one of the best parts of Winter is having Hot Chocolate and toast. My kids love it and I think Kenadi likes it too! What do you think??

~My Sweeties~

Aunt Cara took the kids pictures last week for our Christmas Cards. She only sent me a few so far. I think they're pretty ADORABLE! Their is still time left if you want to schedule a shoot with her for your Christmas Cards!!

~100% CUTE~

I hate Mondays!!! The reason I hate Mondays is that it's my cleaning and laundry day and it's very hard to get things done when you have a little miss priss following you wherever you go and emptying out everything you just cleaned up. But who can get mad at this sweet adorable 100% cutie. She is ADORABLE I think!!

~MY GRILL IS COMING OFF ~

I know it's kind of ridiculous taking and posting pictures of yourself, however I just had to let you all know about my good news. YES my braces are coming off in 1 month!! I can not wait to bite into a big red juicy apple again!! It's been a long 8 months with this grill on and I've had a lot of family members make fun of me, but you can all kiss my ____!! My teeth are straighter and whiter then all of yours, Dustin!:)
