Mexico

Mexico.  Family. Fun. Games. Relax. Beach. Pool. Being with some of my favorite people. No drama. One fabulous vacation.

Back in August, my parents took us all on a fabulous trip to Mexico.  Luckily for me my parents (and Andrew & Carrie, AND Jessica & Ryan!) had a layover in Texas and then we all flew to Mexico together. I am so glad I didn't have to fly there by myself with my 2.5 kids. Dave wasn't able to go and we missed him, Ben, Rachel and Ryan a lot.

 

This has been Audrey's favorite bathing suit for the last two years.  It is so thin and worn out, but she loves it. Had to document.  And I love Joshua in this picture.

Relaxing. 

 

 I wish this picture wasn't foggy.  Every time I turned my camera on it would fog up due to the humidity.  My family was dying at how hot it was, but I still thought Texas was hotter.  Joshua & Carrie. Thank you for spoiling me and carrying my kids, my stuff, my towels... being pregnant has it's perks!

My parents were kind to watch all the grandkids so the adults could go to dinner. So fun.

 

Melissa might kill me for this picture, but I love it.  We are greasy and wet from the pouring rain and in the back of some nasty cab and it makes me laugh.

 

Sisters. The only time all week we got dressed.

Mimi and her family

 

My Grandma had a thing for sunsets, which means my mom has a thing for sunsets, and I also have a thing for sunsets.  Hopefully Audrey will too. Watching the sunset on the last night.

 

 

 

 

Sweet Aunt Mimi.

 

Angel baby Rockwell.  Such a chill, happy, content, beautiful little boy.

Aunt Sara was such a big help. All of my family was. There is no way I could have done the trip sans husband with my 2.5 kids if it wasn't for all the help of my wonderful family.

I love this pictures.  Happy Birthday Aunt Sara!

Our trip to Mexico was so fun. It was nice to do nothing but relax.  It was in Mexico that I felt the baby kick for the first time.  Sara, Melissa, Andrew, Jessica, Ryan and I were all watching Jessica and Ryan's wedding video and I felt this sweet little baby give me the first of very many kicks. 17 weeks.
I loved spending time with my family, and it was the perfect way to spend a full week with this sweet girl before she started kindergarten. She is my joy and my best little friend.
