Mommy sneaks to Mexico!


I am one lucky momma! I got to sneak away for a long weekend to Mexico to relax and reconnect with my college girlfriends. I get to see Nicki every year at least once (she comes out to visit and lives close to my family) but I had not seen Amy seen before I was pregnant with Grey. We went to Puerto Morelos to Now Jade, an all inclusive, with nothing else around. We spent 4 days doing absolutely nothing besides catching up, getting some sun, playing in the Caribbean Sea, the infinite pool, eating and drinking. It was perfect!

My original plane reservation was suppose to be direct but it was canceled so they rebooked me first class on another airline.First time I have ever flown first class. It was fun and I think I got a little spoiled!

 View from the plane as we were getting ready to land...
 My first drink of the day...can't remember what it was called or what was in it :)
 My chicas in the infinite pool

 We were there for the super moon. It was gorgeous!


 our attempts at a feet in the water pic

 love my crazies :)


 One of the restaurants was disgusting and we had waited forever to get food. The food was gross and Nicki found a hair in hers. Yuck! We decided to order room service. Since it was an all inclusive we decided to order everything on the menu!!
 The adult only, quiet pool was our favorite place to hang out. We got to watch a couple weddings on the beach and really enjoyed the swim up bar. 

 Nicki and I even made new best friends. Unfortunately, Amy had to leave a day early :(
It was a great time and was much needed. I have the best husband ever who holds down the fort while I get to get away. I picked a good one ;)

Random Fun Spring/Summer

I have been terrible about keeping up with this blog so I am going to do a massive catch up post of random events for the spring time/beginning of summer. I haven't been as good at taking pictures either so I am sure I have missed some stuff over the last few months....but here are about 50 pictures to catch up....


These two just adore each other. Of course, when they are not being sweet like this, they are trying to find things to do to each other to drive each other crazy!

 lots and lots of hiking





Selfie!

Meet Mr. Hatcha the snail who lived with us for a couple days....


 Giddy up, cowgirl!!
 These two LOVE to do dishes!
 Maybe some day she won't make a huge mess at every meal! This will be awkward on first dates!!
 She is sooo silly and LOVES to read. When it is quiet, I can usually find her hiding out with a book.

We went to Brandon's annual company picnic at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. It was so much fun this year.
 Grey's hero, batman!! 
 Zoe loved watching the elephants.

 Checking out the giraffes
 While the boys rode rides, Zoe and I played at the splash park.
 Their new stuffed animals....Froggy and the leopard shark!




Don't ask. It is Zoe. Enough Said.

 They really do love each other!
