Overheard....

While at Innsbrook, my mom overheard this conversation:

Lily:       "I never want to grow up!"
Jack:     "Me either..."
Brooke: "I do, and I want to be just like my mom..."

Memorial

We had quite the weekend. It was jam packed from start to finish!
We started off celebrating Gary's birthday with a babysitter (thanks Aunt Maggie!) and a night on the town. We were able to meet up with friends we had not seen in forever & had such a great time!

Saturday, we started our day off at a birthday party for one of Brooke's friends from dance class followed by a family wedding celebration (post all of its own!). Sunday we got up bright and early and headed to Innsbrook. It was the perfect day with perfect weather. The girls had the best time with their grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. I have a feeling that the summer is going to be the best yet-especially with the fun these girls had in the water this weekend :)

Ready for picture overload??

Attempting to be a bathing beauty...but that sun is rough!

Happy "Golden" birthday to the BEST husband and dad we know...

I have loved spending the last 11 birthdays with you and I know that your 30th year will be amazing!!

Can't wait to celebrate the next 50 birthdays with you and our family.

Brooke in Print

Just in case you haven't seen it on my FB page.....awhile back, I entered Brooke into a contest with one of our local newspapers. We found out a few weeks back that she had been selected as the Winner!! We were thrilled!! She had a photo shoot at the Zoo where she got to wear beautiful clothes and flash her smile all day. Brooke and I had SO much fun doing this together....and....after I pick up 15 copies today...she will never forget it :)

In case you want to view a sneak peak...click HERE. I will try to scan some pictures in after I get my copies :)

Cancun 2011

This trip was amazing. Can I tell you all how much I love the two words "All Inclusive??"

Since this was our first trip to a resort like this...or really any resort period...I don't really have anything to compare it to...but it was great.

Our room was on the first floor and there were literally dolphins outside of my balcony all weekend long. If they were brave enough, they could have jumped right up onto our deck (that would have been quite the picture right??).

Look at Gary swimming with the dolphins!!

No, not really. It was a bit pricey and, lets be honest, I can't even handle the fish at Innsbrook touching me.

Gary spent the majority of his outdoor time playing volleyball and bocce ball...

I spent the majority of my time laying outside and finding magical huts that served drinks all day long.....

The beaches were gorgeous and the water was SO blue. Don't you just want to join us there for our next trip???

On Saturday, there was some entertainment at the hotel-fire dancers. It seriously made me think that this could be my new talent. How awesome would I be to bring to parties.

 "Hi everyone, my names Kelly...and I can dance with fire. What can you do??"

I do not want to forget to mention Karaoke night. Gary brought down the house with Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. I cannot express to you how disappointed we were that the hotel we were staying at was hosing 'Dreams Idol' Monday night (the day we left). The winner won three free nights at the hotel. We would have been a shoe in....

AWFUL quality...but Desires Night Club didn't offer the best lighting.

I swear...I was on this trip too...but Gary isn't one to pick up the camera and takes tons of pictures. Don't worry though, there was a professional photographer one night that took some shots of us on the beach. Think senior picture poses...but when your almost 30 years old. Are you excited or what??

So glad to be back home with the kiddos....but missing fun in the Cancun Sun! Comments welcome with co-vacationers looking to book for Spring 2012...any takers??

Hola!!

The blog has been pretty quite lately....because we were living it up in Mexico!! It was an amazing trip. Minus missing my kiddos like mad, I would have taken at least 2 more days of relaxation. I have pictures to share, but I am nursing a sun burn and three straight days of margaritas and discotecas. Till tomorrow!
