For your Spitting Pleasure

Are you confused by the title?!?! Well i am now in the business of making burp cloths for little babies! Thanks to my Mom and Dad for getting me a sewing machine for my birthday! HEHE!! Last night and well into the morning, I was learning how to sew! I wanted to make a cutsie burp cloth for some friends who are having babies/showers, and I have seen on blogs and etsy these cute burp rags and said "self i can make these!!" Well To my SURPRISE when my parents came into town last night they bought me a Janome 25th Anniversary machine! So since then i have been sewing up a storm! HA! It's been fun. So now when I have another baby shower to go to...I know what i'm bringing!! I am going to be nosy and spy on more blogs to get ideas for more cutsie little things! Enjoy the pics!!!

These little guys were always roaming around and keeping us up in the middle of the night with their callings

The monkey way up in the tress...they sounds like gorillas with their cries! They were so loud and deep!

On the roof of the hotel rooms

Jared by his little friend

Us...we were right below our room and there were flamingos about 10 feet from us and the peacocks!

Off to my right shoulder was one of the dining rooms...you can see the thatch roof! It was really neat the architecture at our resort!

i really liked this tree...it was like it had multiple trunks! Very Jungle/rainforest!


Goofy Jared

The koi fish...they had these ponds all along the dining rooms and walkways...They were huge!

About to leave for the airport!

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our Mexican adventure!

Vaction post 2

I got a little tired waiting for the pictures to upload...now i'm waiting on dinner to finish cooking...so blog i go again! Here are some more pictures from our vacay to Mexico! We were surprised with how many Europeans we met on our trip! They were all so nice and just enjoying themselves as much as we were! We came home learning a little more Spanish and wishing we were fluent in at least another language! but our American system has failed us in that aspect and with the meter system as well! Why are we the only country to do things in pounds and inches?!?! Oh the American way is sometimes silly! hehe! Ok here come the pics!


these little guys were running around all over the place...forget what they are thought

Well we are back from our vacation! A little tanner and missing the view of the beach, but glad to be back and i think Browning can vouch for that too! The resort was great! We felt like we were in the amazon almost! We saw monkeys, peacocks, lizards, and many more animals! The way the resort was set up you felt like you were in a canopy overlooking the wild life and greenery! The only rooms that had ac were the specialty restaurants and your personal room. The main eating areas, lobby, entertaining rooms were all open aired with thatched roofs. It was really neat the way they constructed the resort. It took a little to get used to the heat but once we did it was really nice! The pool was HUGE but a little warm! It had a swim up bar which was so cool! Literally, the water in it was so much cooler than any where else...well except the ocean! It was fun to sit in the bar stools in the water and sip on margaritas, Bahama mamas, and on occasional daiquiri! The beach was amazing! The sand was white, the beach was a beautiful turquoise and we were so happy to be on vacation!!

Day 1

On the way to Iberostar Questzal...these lined the highway!

3 days


Well i'm jumping ahead a bit and going to say 3 more days! It's late and by the time most people will read this it will be true! I can't wait! I'm pretty much mentally packed...just have to actually put it all together in the suitcase! Jared is already packed! HA! you think he needs a vacation?!?! He's been working nights this week so it's just been me and the poop! Right now he is sound asleep! He had quite the play date today with our friends 7 month old lab! A 7 month old that is already over 75 pounds! He's going to be a big boy! But they played so WELL! They ran around in the back yard, shared a few licks, fought over toys...or rather tug a war! The brown bear is hmm how should i put this EXHAUSTED!!! He really hasn't moved since our friends left! Poor guy! It's hard hanging with those young'uns! hehe!

Some of you have been asking about our vacation just click there and that is where we will be in 3 days!!! YEAH! Well i won't be blogging on our vacation...shock i know...but trust me i will have plenty to share once we get back!!
