Greetings from San Juan, Puerto Rico!

This past weekend Victor and I took a little vacation down to San Juan. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. You will notice my feet in a few of the pictures... I just wanted you to get the feel of being there and see what I was seeing. And a BIG thanks to my mom and dad for watching the boys!

Abundance of palm trees swaying

in the breeze by the hotel pool The view from my lounge chair at the "quiet" pool

Overlooking the ocean

Someone was nice enough to take

a picture of the two of us

Climbing the rocks on the beach

What a beautiful day!

An afternoon nap in the hammock

check out the crashing waves along the sea wall

Just the two of us, enjoying the peace & quiet

Victor... he is actually RELAXING!?!?!

An amazing little place where we had some afternoon drinks

Yummy, margaritas & mojitos!

Many pigeons feeding. Thanks Victor for throwing a rock overthere

Somebody's home

The man who handmade our new mortar & pestal

(because we HAD to be able to make those mojitos when we get home!)
Heading out to dinner

Fill 'er up!

Looks like the gas station has a new employee, Coby!!!

Uncle Grant

Just wanted to post this photo I got of the boys sitting down with Uncle Grant and chowing on some pretzel sticks. I wonder what they were talking about???

Beach Day with the Cousins

This weekend while we were in Ft Lauderdale, Victor and I took all of the kids down to the beach for a few hours. It was beautiful at first, but of course those South Florida showers crept up on us. But we still had fun! Here are some pics of our morning...

Sydney, Coby & Zoey playing in the surf

Victor sees what 4 kids under the age of 5 would be like

Blake says, "I'm outta here!"

They'll be coming 'round the mountain...

Yes, Grandma & Grandpa came for a visit this weekend! Here are a few pictures. Why do we always forget to get a group shot???

And they brought presents, too!

Happy Anniversary!

What a great way to spend our anniversary! It was so beautiful out so we decided to pack up and take the family to the beach to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. The weather was amazing (take a look for yourself, not a cloud in the sky!) and the boys had a blast. And on a Monday in March, we practically had the beach all to ourselves!

The sand is so white you can barely read it!

Victor & Blake took a dip in the ocean!

I love you!
