~Mexico~

What a fun filled four days we had in Cancun, Mexico. We went this past weekend with Marcus' family. Mason was such a GREAT traveler! We swam, played in the ocean, ate, and had a great time :) Here are some pictures below to recap our relaxing trip to the beach!



Such a good lil traveler:

View From our room




Walking with Uncle and daddy to the POOL (kick kick kick) everytime I say pool Mason follows with "kick kick kick" guess he's paying attention in swim lessons!



One of the MANY swim-up pool bars

Listening to the fun music at dinner Mason's favorite thing to do

Long Time No Post!!!

I am sure everyone has been on pins and needles WAITING for me to blog....ya right ;) We have been pretty busy these past few weeks and things don't seem to be slowing down one bit, but that is how I like it! In the past few weeks we have:




  • said goodbye to our old house (man when you move you find out all the lil friends who have been living with you YUCK!!!!)


  • moved into our new house (I am LOVING it!!! Mason did not skip a beat..he LOVES playing in his game room and in his new room)


  • unpacked, unpacked and MORE unpacking (the NOT SO FUN part)


  • Went/ well was supposed to go to the Kentucky Derby (Marcus still went)...I went last year (click HERE for last year's post) and it was AWESOME! I was sad I had to make the decision to stay home, but glad I finally unpacked the LAST of my boxes. Thank goodness my parents were coming down that weekend to watch Mason because I turned up sick right before I was supposed to leave :( Thanks Nanny and Papa for entertaining Mason while I unpacked and organized!


  • Now this weekend we are ALL headed to MEXICO with Marcus' family! This is the first of many lil vacations we have planned for this summer, SO FUN! I can't wait to let Mason play in the sand and swim with the fishes :)


For now, I will leave you with these pictures from the weekend...I still have a few things to do around the house before I take pictures and post pictures of the house....I am sure you JUST CAN'T WAIT :)
