Time Flies

When you are having fun!!!

We can't believe that we have been here 7 months already. There is so much to see and do in Mexico and we better hurry up before we leave next summer!

.

Here is what we have been up to over the last month...

.

Las Estacas! Danny and I visited here just before James was born. Last time I did not jump in for fear of going into labor or not being able to keep afloat (lets be honest I was HUGE!). This time I got to have my fun.

Lots of rope swinging!




James by the end of the day - Trying to eat... ...but can't quite keep awake! Pobre sito!

James says - Yeaaaaah for Daddy's Birthday! James enjoyed the wrapping paper...we enjoyed the cake. =)

Saturdays at Lincoln Park in Palonco.

Danny, a friend, and the friends father-in-law decided to hike to the summit of Nevado de Toluca - a stratovolcano that has not erupted since 1350 BC - good thing! The summit is at just over 15,000 feet! Wow!

The beast ahead...

The 2 crater lakes - lago del sol (left, sun lake) and lago de la luna (moon lake)

In view of the peak. He made it! Way to go Danny!

(D.Andrew is this tempting or what!?)

This was Lucha Libre night. Sadly, they would not let me take my camera in... don't wanna distract the luchadors, of course. I don' think I had laughed so hard in years! People really get into it...especially the elderly ladies. Watch out! So instead we have pictures from after at Plaza Garibaldi. We went to hang out, hear the mariachis, and play the "lets all get shocked game." Who knows...

Thanks Emron and Annie for the fun night!

I think this guy liked turning up the electricity! Ouch!

Singing along to our Mariachi Band.

A Trip to the Zoo. It was a quick one b/c so many people were there because of Semana Santa. But we are sure to go back! It was a beautiful and HUGE Zoo...so much more to see!

Tired...

...more tired!

This week: Off to Veracruz for some beach action.

Next week: Meeting President Obama.

Visitors - Come on down!!! =)

Lately w/ the Little Dude

Here is what James has been up to these days...

Swimming!!!


Eating!!!

Getting Stronger!!!

And...Getting a whole lot more SLEEP!!! =)

A Visit to MARYLAND!

I can't believe it has only been aweek and a half since we were in MD - feels like it was ages ago. We had too much fun being at visiting everyone! Poor little J was a little out of it - I guess traveling to a new place that is freezing cold is not his cup of tea. Good thing when we go back it will be nice and warm - can't wait until May!!!

Here are some pictures from our trip...

Eating with friends

James got to meet his Aunt Allie and Uncle TristanDrew and Kara

We got to celebrate Ryan's 1st Birthday! Whats a cutie! Little J meeting his Aunt Katy! And cousins Aidan and Lily!

Joanie was in town with buddy Manoa too! And Brandy with a future buddy in her tummy! =) Kara and Drew had us over for a Super Bowl Party! Good times! We got to go to Aidan and Lily's soccer games.

AND... BABY RESSE WAS BORN!!! As you can see James loves her <3

The Desonier family...beautiful! Meeting cool Uncle Brandon.Holding his hand...he knows his family!
James also met Uncle Will and his better half Michelle!

And then there was meeting his namesake. Papa or Grandpa Jim!!!

More time with the cousins. He enjoyed eating Lily's hand and she did not seem to mind!

Cousin luvin'!!!

Sad we did not get pictures of everyone... We got to see Uncle Brian who held James all the time - thanks! We also saw Abbey my good friend from High School, and my long time neighbors Jo and Rachel, and lots of old Church friends too!
