FIVE whole months later...

You guys! You GUUUYYYS! has it really been five MONTHS since I last posted?! I seriously don't know how that happened. I don't even know where to start. Catching up seems too overwhelming right now. What do you say we just start over. I feel like I can actually breathe when I think about not having to try to catch up. Part of the reason being that our computer crashed in December, and we lost some of our family pictures and videos. I know! I am so sad that we didn't have it all backed up. I do have some of my pictures though, since I use flickr.com to share pics with my some of my family, and for this exact reason. Unfortunately, I had not yet uploaded my November pictures. Sad day. I am still hoping to be able to recover them from our old hard drive through a different guy. Anyhow...here we are. Not dwelling in the past. I will however post a just few pictures from these last months. That way you will feel like you are up to speed, and I can still breathe! Most of them are in order...just backwards. I am not feeling OCD today, so you will just have try not to get confused.

The twins got twins for Christmas. It just didn't feel right to give them just one baby doll each.

Halloween. It happened. It was fun. We ate too much candy.

 

This Boy!

 Kambell turned Three. He obviously HATES being the center of attention.

 

I love this Angel girl!

 

Kam is his Daddy's best helper!

Oh look! We are finally looking at a few pictures from January!

I did a little quick fix on the brick on the outside of our house. I just dry-brush painted them to add some depth and texture. I am happy with it, even though it is a minor change. It has been bugging me for a long time, so I decided to just go for it!

 The twins have started to help themselves to the cereal cupboard when they feel like a little snack. I think maybe I need to move it to a "safer" AKA higher place.

 

 

Now I just have to keep my blog more current for two reasons. First, the whole breathing thing. Second, it will much more enjoyable to look at my blog when I have more detailed account of how awesome my kids are :)

 



Mexico

In July, Jace and I went to Cancun to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. That's a whole decade, people! It is definately worth celebrating. Luckily, I have the best mom in the world, who watched ALL FIVE of our kids for a week while we were off galavanting in another country. It was the best trip! We went snorkeling, ate the best food, went zip-lining, hung out at the beach, went to Tulum, and even learned how to make tortillas, 4 different salsas, guacamole, and several other yummy things at a Mexican cooking class. Did I mention that the food was AMAZING?! Here are some pics from the trip:

So Excited! ( warning:This was the last time my hair looked normal on the trip. As much as I loved Mexico, my hair did not care for it much.)

 

We rode the bus with the locals pretty much everywhere we went. It was...an adventure!

 Casa Caribe-The Little Mexican Cooking School. Yum!

 

Making tortillas. We came home with a tortilla press. We have even used it, and it makes me hungry for Mexico.

We passed this "drugs & Deli" store every day. I just hought it was funny.

 

Just Beachy.

 We like each other ;)

 Sorry Ladies, he is already taken!
