Love This....

I love reading through my kids school papers and finding something like this. Sure made me smile!  The part about me cheering him on and helping him when times are tough, melted my heart. 
Logan wrote such sweet things about his two favorite teachers but the best of all....

 

Was finding out the his dad teaches him "how to be the ladies man!"
Bahahaha!!!! I didn't know Justin knew how to "be a ladies man!"  Guess he saves that side for his girlfriend :)

Some Times I Really Don't Want to be the Parent!

So Ella's new favorite thing to do is.....


Yes that's right....her favorite thing is to MOON YA!!!
She thinks it's hilarious and it is. But no I can't just laugh at her because I am the PARENT!!  I have to be as serious as I can and tell her that we don't show people our bums. All while she is giggling away. The struggle to parent her is real people!! 

  

She will just randomly pull down her pants and MOON ya! I really hope I can hold my serious face so that I can teach her it's not appropriate to MOON people!  She's too young to learn about the times when it is appropriate to MOON people......Bahahaha!  Just kidding!!! 
Wish me luck cause inside I am laughing!  Guess I'll keep on being the parent though :) 

Just Incase

Some playdough bounces up and gets in your eye. 


You might as well wear goggles just to be on the safe side!! 



What a character this little lady is!  Gosh how I love her!! 




Then she fell asleep like an angel on the couch tonight.
 Love this little lady!

Birthday Boy

Logan got to spend his birthday in Mexico.  His birthday wish was that we got on a long ranger ride in the sand dunes, which we did.  It was super fun the Pauls even rented a rhino for our stay so they could have fun as well.  Lots of laughing took place!!


Logan's other request was fireworks.  Justin and I went and bought some but then it turned out to be a very windy night so we couldn't shoot them off.  We will plan an evening when we get back to Pima and go out in the hills to enjoy the fireworks.
All in all, I think Logan had a fun birthday!
Sure love our Logie Bear!  He brings so much fun and laughter to our family!
Happy birthday Logan!!!

Thanksgiving

This year we decided to mix things up and step out of our normal Thanksgiving traditions. We decided to go to Rocky Point for the long weekend. The kids have Wednesday off so that meant we could have 3 full days in Mexico. 


It was so fun!! 
We even talked our good friends, the Paull's, in to joining us. 


We had one really warm day that was just beautiful!!  The other days were a little chilly for laying on the beach. 
I love this family of mine!


Sophia fell in love with Mexico!  That could be because she got her own apple soda at every place we ate....lol!


The Chicken Hut for Thanksgiving dinner was phenomenal!!!
This is a tradition I could get use to!  So yummy and no work for me!  That is a win win in my book!!


Our Thanksgiving feast!
Good looking group if you ask me. 


After our delicious lunch we took the kids to the candy store. In Mexico everything is so cheap, the kids get to pick out a whole bag of candy. They were thrilled!!


Not the best picture but we really had our ranger loaded with kids!  We got some seriously crazy looks


We are so happy we talked the Paull's into joining us for a trip to Mexico. We love this family!!


Gotta love a guy throwing machetes on the beach right?!?  Hahaha.....only in Mexico! 


Ella loved that the Paull's brought their dog, Sandy. She played with Sandy a lot!  


Mangos in Mexico are the BEST!!!
But I think we have finally figured out what gives our boys, well Logan and Hunter, the strange rash/blisters around their mouth. Guess they will have to eat mangos cut up so that the juices don't get all over their face. 


Kiersten getting a few braides. 


Brooke got a few as well. Did I mention Hunter asked me if he could invite his friends, Brooke and Nevaeh, to go to Mexico with us. I figured no one would let their kid leave for Thanksgiving weekend, especially to go to Mexico. So I said sure ask them. Well it turns out Brooke's mom trusts me more then I had thought....lol!  No we really were excited to have Brooke join us. Nevaeh of course had family things to do so she couldn't come. 
Brooke was extremely helpful and super good with Ella and Grant. I was glad she came with us! 
It was funny because our friends the Earp's just figured Brooke was another foreign exchange student of ours. So Terry asked Brooke, "So what country are you from?"  Bahahaha we all got a good laugh out of hat when Brooke said strangely, "Ummmm just Pima, Arizona!"


What a funny girl Kiersten is! 
Couldn't get her to take a serious picture with her mango. 


We love the night time trips to the churro stand. Fresh churros are delicious!!!


And the roasted corn doesn't disappoint either!! Sophia enjoyed it for sure! 




Mexico Fun
