Ode to My Older Sister

Carmen,
Why do you have to look great pregnant? Why do you still weigh less than me at 30 weeks pregnant? Why doesn't any fat want to jump on your arms, thighs, butt, ankles, cheeks, fingers, toes, ok you get the point. And hold up! This is child #4! Let review some things...

Carmen -child #4- all belly

Lauren - child # 1 -all pudge! And if Carmen looks familiar...

well...

here is me in a brunette wig.And lastly, why is your kid sleeping on the job. He better get his act together before his sister arrives! =)




Oh man! I miss you guys! =(

Hi Grandma!

Are you happy that my mom updated the blog WITH pictures of me this time?

Love you.

Ah, The Great Outdoors! Haha, that movie is a classic. No bear attacks or unexpected guests but it still was an adventure. Here we are with our little cabana. They called them cabana's but to me that sounds too tropical - these were definitely rustic!See what I mean...James sucking on wine corks...and enjoying them WAY too much!

Me! All ready for my hike and zip-line experience.Ouch! Or maybe not...These were the coolest zip-lines I have ever been on. You take 4 different lines to get back down to the lake at the bottom. This first line is probably 15 stories high! The views were fantastic!

And that is all.

The following are evidence of animal behavior...

And thanks James for helping me find all the dangers I need to child-proof.

The Zoo (Again). You would go all the time too if you saw this place. I still have not been able to see the whole thing - it's huge!

Our partners for the day -Luisa and Joseph.

James and me and the big snake I got suckered into buying.

Why are these things soooo ugly...

and why do they have such bubbly butts?
