My kiddos!

Would you like some of my oreo? What a nice girl.

Adelaide has a bad habit of coming into our room in the middle of the night. The other day she came into bed with us and she felt all slick. We put her to bed in pajamas and sometime between falling asleep and coming into our room she changed into her swim suit.

Such a sweet, innocent face. Boy does she fool people. I tried to run errands at Target last week and she had an all out hitting, kicking, screaming at the top of her lungs FIT! I just calmly walked out of the store as she is freaking out and people are staring at me. Davis is crying because he doesn't want to go. She wouldn't walk so I was carrying Emma and trying to carry her but she was flailing her legs so I couldn't. Why do I even try to run errands by myself? 3 to 1 is not fair.

Davis loves to listen to our ipod's and play the air guitar. Not bad! Yesterday he informed me that we need two more babies. Two Boy Babies. He wants brothers to sleep in his bunkbed and play "crash cars." Do 4 year olds have more insight to what"s in store for us than we do? I have always thought 4 kids but 5? He wants one of the babies to be named "Donky Kong." I don't think he gets to have any input.

Bella and Minnie

Adelaide treating Minnie like a baby. The cat stays in the garage most of the time, by choice, because she gets harassed.

We got two new animals right before we left on vacation. I think Grandma is still cursing us. Our chocolate lab came with a name and we didn't change it. Her name is Bella. We must have a thing with double consonants- Addie, Emma, Bella and Minnie.

We're Back!

A neat building in Puerto Villarta.

Emma and Mommy at dinner.

Miss Hollywood!

Emma cheesing it.

Isn't he handsome?

The Master Chef's Dinner- Our last night eating amazing food.

Enjoying a pina coloda by the pool.

Most of the wait staff is from Indonesia. They were the sweetest people. They leave their families for 10 months at a time and miss their children being born all to give them a better life. They loved Emma. A lot of them had kids her age and really enjoyed seeing her everyday. Even maintenance men that I hadn't ever met would walk buy us and say "Hello Emma." She was the talk of the ship and she loved the attention.

Riding the tender to Loreto.

This is a Catholic Church in Loreto. I thought it was pretty.

We loved La Paz. Brandon is ready to move there to teach at the University. Doesn't this look like a postcard? It was beautiful.

Goodbye Alaska..... Hello Mexico!!!!

We are leaving tonight to San Diego where we will board a cruise ship to Mexico. We haven't been in weather over 75 degrees in over three years. You know the part in Sound of Music after Leisle kisses her man and she throws her arms out while she is in the rain and screams. That is how I am feeling right now. Stephanie you know which part I am talking about. I am so excited. Brandon and I are leaving the two kids home and are just taking the baby. We are so excited to go and spend time together. I am going to take lots of pictures because this is probably the only time we will go on a cruise. I will have lots to post when we come back in 11 days!!!!
