MEXICO

We just got back from our cruise to Mexico. It was fantastic and the girls had a blast. It was a little tricky at times to get them to go to sleep and we had a few meltdowns. We were that couple that everyone else was talking about on the first day. We were in our mandatory safety drill and Ellie screamed as loud as she could through the whole thing. Luckily Lex was being awesome and just quietly sat in my lap. We had a great time in Cabo, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. We did a little shopping but spent most of our time at various resorts swimming in the pools and playing in the sand. The highlight for Nick and I was going para-sailing in Mazatlan. I was amazing, something I normally don't think I would have tried. I'm so glad I did it. We ate tons of delicious food and enjoyed great company. Coming home was a little stressful and our car seats got lost. Thankfully the airline had loaner seats that we could keep until they found our seats and delivered them, which was the next day.

Lex played on the steps of the pool for probably an hour with JuJu. She would go down one step then jump into JuJu's arms

Literally 300 feet from landing in Seattle Ellie finally fell asleep.

Lex luckily slept the whole flight. She fell asleep within minutes of take off and slept until we touched down in Seattle

It looks like you had so much fun! Little Man wants to know when we are going to go "on one of those things Ellie and Lexy got to go on."

I love these pictures! I am so jealous- even of just the sun- and impressed that you went parasailing. The idea just freaks me out.

by the way, regarding your comment on my post- I think you're an awesome mom, and if that's not enough, my mom says the same. I wonder how I'll deal with two, and you have Spirited girls with a capital S, yet you're still rocking it!
