Hola!!

last weekend we decided to take a last minute trip down to rocky point, mexico with my cousins and their baby girl and my aunt and uncle.  this was baby C's first international vacation!!  we stayed in a gorgeous home with nothing & no one surrounding us.  i grew up going to rocky point, but i have never been to this area before.  we had such a nice relaxing time.  the boys hit golf balls off of the property onto the beach, and then we would retrieve them and start all over.  we ate more chips/salsa/guacamole than i could have ever thought was possible.  and us new mommy's had massages while the boys went into town looking for tequila.




one of the day's we went into town and checked out the fish market.  some mariachi's came to our table and i asked them to sing jalisco & guadalajara.  two songs that my poppy used to sing to me.  i didn't realize until later that evening, that it was 18 years ago on that exact day that my poppy went home to be with the Lord.  i know that the he was there, looking down on his great grandson and smiling!! 

b day

today is a big day for my family...
{1} it is my dad's birthday --  i feel like i need to make a really long pause hear and give this the credit it deserves, because my dad is the most fabulous father.  never in my life have i questioned how much he loves me, in fact most of the time i am blown away by it.  my dad is one of the most amazing people to be around, and he really has such compassion for everyone!! thank you dad, for making me the girl i am today!! you are one of my most constant supports in life



{2} it is my mother in-laws birthday --  my mother in law is an amazing woman and has opened her arms, heart and home to me.  i hear these nightmare stories of girls dealing with their mother-in-laws.  not me... she is fabulous!!  i hit the jackpot in this area!!



{3} both of my in-laws are coming into town today -  yipee! we are so excited to spend the whole weekend with them.  we just wish we had more time.



{4} my dad and my husband are getting baptized today!!  PRIASE GOD!!! both my dad and my moondoggies have grown so much in their faith in the last year.  my dad always thought he was baptized when he was younger, but when he went back home to where he grew up, he went to the church and checked the records and realized he wasn't.  so after 30 years of going to the same church he is getting baptized, and he wanted it to be on his birthday!! how cool is that?  when he told moondoggie that is what he was doing, moondoggie jumped all over it.  he has been ready to make this public affirmation of his faith for a while, and was thrilled that his parents would be in town to witness it. we have several friends and family members who have taken time off of work today to come and celebrate this incredible time in both of their lives.  we are so blessed to have such an amazing community of believers surround us!!
