A huge water main break has left our area with unsafe drinking water. For the last 3 days we have been advised to only drink bottled water and to hand wash dishes, brush teeth, feed pets, etc. with water that has been properly sanitized through boiling. The grocery stores are fresh outta bottled water and people seem to be in kinda a panic. Of course it is not an ideal situation but I just see it as we have arrived in Mexico early.

Also, Danny went to the dentist for the first time in... a while, and left with a clean bill of health. I am so proud of him. I go next week and I am hoping for the same outcome. A girl can dream, right!?

A Baby Shower ~ Mexicano Style

My older sister is a magician. She can pull off the seemingly impossible - except a blog - get on it sista! Last weekend she threw a Mexican fiesta themed baby shower with all the bells and whistles! We had an elaborate taco salad bar spread complete with home-made tortilla chips (courtesy of Baja Fresh). A big thanks to Carmen for everything. Thanks to mom, Allie, and Katy for making and preparing food. Thanks Jen for the pictures. And... thanks to all who braved the weather and long drives to come!

24 weeks ... only 16 to go!Jen giving loves to the bump. Riley shakin' her maracas.

I was a spoiled mommy ... Jack, James, whoever he is is one spoiled baby!So excited!

Happy (belated) Birthday

Nate Dogg turned the big ONE! I think that he is the most laid back and happy baby. Jenny want to share your secret to a soon-to-be mom of a baby boy? But really, Nathan is just so lovable. When my oldest nephew Dallin (age 11) went out to Utah a few months back he left a little teary eyed having to say goodbye to little Nathan. We are all excited for the up-coming wedding of my little sister in August for obvious reasons but I can't lie - Nathan coming to town is a large bonus for everyone (and seeing me 33 weeks prego too). Anyway, late as usual but still with so much enthusiasm -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!

Oh To Be...

Tan.

And to not have heart burn.

Happy (belated) Birthday Lily!

Lily girl is 3!

Although I think she seems more like 16 with her cute little sassy ways. She is spunky, full of life, compassionate, and can handle her own amongst all her boy cousins and big brother!

Happy Birthday to our little Diva!!!She likes the big bucks cause the girl can shop! Red flats - she always knows what's in style.
