Welcome to Paradise!

Here we are at the Bozeman airport about to leave at 5:30 am. Notice that we are painfully white and in need of some serious vitamin D.

And here we are at our resort, I am sure most of you won't be surprised that our first activity was riding bikes around the resort. :) But the resort itself it almost 2 miles from end to end so the bikes were nice.
The beach at our resort was really not impressive. There was seaweed all over the beach and in the water. So when we arrived at this beach down the coast, we were blown away. So beautiful.


Our second activity was renting these little boats and cruising through the 'jungle' to a place where we could snorkel. The boat was fun and the snorkeling was ok. Not the most amazing place for snorkeling but it was still super fun.

Lounging


I told him to Baywatch it into the water and well, he did.


This was our room. It was really cool. There was a hammock behind those curtains. We had a jacuzzi in our room. And a stocked fridge that we could take freely from.


This was one of the restaurants. I can't remember the name but it was of the Italian flavor. All the food was pretty delicious. But the ceiling was incredible.


Then we went outside to watch the Latin girls dance show. It was pretty saucy, they know how to shake it down here.


They also know how to drink alcohol here.


This is on the top of one of the resort's roof which gave you a view down the beach. Incredible.


They were filming Baywatch actually while we were there and this beach babe let us take her picture, wait, that's me. Nevermind.


All ready for dinner.


The lobby of the 'nicer' part of the resort. No roof because it doesn't snow there.


This was the pool area. That hut behind Ty was a restaurant where we could get endless amounts of food and drinks.


Check out the hottie! This was Xel Ha and we snorkeled behind Tyler and we saw a baracuda and a sting ray. Super sweet.


Twinners!


This was a lagoon where there was a rope swing. There was also a cliff to jump off of into the water. I finally got the courage to do it. I have become such a wuss in my older age. But Tyler did a gainer off of it and he was pretty much a celebrity at the cliff.


Ty's cannon ball into the pool.


This is what I needed the most. Relaxation. There will be more to come but I thought this would be good to start.

Sorry Rach, but Idaho Falls, I freaking hate you.



So, I can't believe our luck, or lack thereof. Early this week we set off for southern adventures. Ty went to Utah to find a budget blind van and I, to Idaho Falls to see Rach and her handsome little guy Henry. We arrive and everything was SO awesome. Rach has an adorable house. She made us feel comfy, fed us crock pot food. The next day we shopped for prom dresses for Chessa, we ate subway, broke lent, watched the bachelor, Emily won! I mean, it couldn't really get any better. But, the next morning we woke up to our new budget blinds van spewing oil out of the engine. The van was busted. So, after that gets sort of solved we head out, way later then exected and the astro van (Tyler's parents van that I drove) starts to smell like oil and bad lights are coming on. We took it to a mechanic and he gave us 3 quarts of oil to get home. We made it home. I guess there could be worse things.





I thought this one was funny because it looks like Olive is
attacking Jackson but really he was having a tantrum on the floor and
Olive was trying to help. Olive is Jackson's new bff.
Our little sweeties.


Before the 'after the final rose ceremony' part completely happy.


Such good acting skills.

Oh she's a diva

Do you see it? The lips? The look? She is such a little diva. And since she got a double ear infection (bless her little heart) she has become a diva. If she wants something, she screams like her arm has been chopped off and the second you pick her up, she's fine. But, she is still a sweet little pea. We got her hair trimmed up already. There wasn't much of a difference we just axed the rat tail she had started up and cleaned up the edges. I LOVE HAVING A GIRL!!

reLENTless, good one eh?


The shirt says it all. However, in the last month I have been accused of being an addict. And the thing is, I deny it. Which usually means, we have a problem. Also, apparently I am going to die of brain cancer AND possibly strokes. So, for Lent this year I am giving up diet coke. Now, I am a mother of two. Lets not get it twisted. I may need a caffeine fix now and then. If I feel the need I can only have coke and/or dr. pepper which will make me second guess taking in 300 some calories only for a quick pick me up. Are we good? Its out there. I have proclaimed it. I have less than 24 hours to guzzle as much as I may think will get me through 40 days. :)
