Ya Ya 2013...Cancun

Tristan I post these... so A) you know I wasn't a total dork B) you know at one point in my life I was funny and goofy and I have great friends C) So you can make fun of me later in life (like I haven't given you enough ammo for that already!)

Tracy, Lisa and Treva arrived on Thurs (Jen and Deb were already there)

My plane was delayed ... I swear that was God because I met up with Chris who was clueless to what hotel we were staying at.  ugh, Chrissy!!!

Our view

 

Poolsie and Chris - smoking her E-Cig

Hot tub time!!

Deb, Treva and Tracy

aaaaah - the ocean!

Frankie showing me around the other hotels

much needed... "doing nothing"

 

Deb, Poolsie, Jen, Trev and Chris 

before din, din

Hi Treva!

then the whole gang...

 

Chrissy and Jenny.. being Chrissy and Jenny

over and over and

 

 

over again!!

 

goofballs 

Find a statue...  be a statue

then we bought these necklaces that I'm convinced are possessed...

I placed them on everyone

and weird stuff started happening

but I mean, who am I to say...

so we just kept smiling

and then Li-Li put one on me!

Selfie

we were... very, VERY quiet...


then I bought T this mask and couldn't help but wear it. 

Not to mention run down the hall in it, wipe out and pretty much be unable to move.

Did I mention that night Deb fell in volleyball and thought she popped her hip out of socket.  Home for x-rays but thankfully she's fine!


Omni Cancun... not bad.  Not bad at all

I got my toes in the water... a$$ in the sand!

 

 

More posing. more fun... time for our fabulous dinner at Da Vinci

 

 

 Don't even get me started... these are the OTHER shoes. Long story

and this is the new and the old... reunited and they feel so goooooood

Wait, Da Vinci?  How was dinner?  It wasn't....

 

And because it wasn't and we didn't... this happened.

 

then this happened.  GROSS room service.  But, hey - it was food!

then there was this again.  OUCH...

and then this happened... more than once...

all in all - great vacation.  Twelve years in a row.  Love my girls - drama and all.

Flight home had a drug dealer that was pulled off the plane.  Thank you TSA

Then an hour and a half wait in Customs.... but still, I beat Treva (5 hour delay in Philly) and Poolsie who's flight was delayed, then canceled... then drove from Philly to Buffalo.  THAT is impressive!

See you next year... in Costa Rica!!

The Royal Baby is HERE!

Well, maybe it's because I work for the Brits.... but I just LOVE William and Kate. LOVE.

And here I sit at my desk crying... so happy - SO HAPPY!!!

Congrats to the Brits!!!

So far so good....

Prayed a lot this morning for T... and Daddy did well with how the drop off went. 

Great school - great people - pray for a great week!  Go get'em T!

Lake pics from Uncle Sue

My little man.... he always seems to have no fear

 

 

just takes on what is in front of him

 

and gives a big thumbs up

that is... if he's with people he knows

 

then he just kicks it.  Today is a big day...T is going to a camp and he knows NO ONE.  Not the teachers, not the school, not one kid.  He's having a really hard time lately with being shy and being around a group that he doesn't know.  Ugh... he's a little me!  Daredevil like daddy, introvert like Mommy.

Pray for my boy... this may be a really hard week for him but I'm hoping he's his fabulous little self and makes new friends and has fun!!

Love my boys all carefree... Daddy and T... my water rats :)

Shark Du Soleil

 

Come on now... that's funny!

Weekends at home ROCK

I love being out and about, seeing friends and family trips to the lake but along with those is the stress of getting stuff done. The cleaning, the shopping, the sheets changed, the trash taken out, all that "stuff".  So weekends HOME - I have to balance.  So yesterday Holt had to work. I told T... we have errands and in between we have FUN.

I started out getting donuts.  Then, it was grocery store time.  Headed home and T watched Scooby Doo and I cleaned. Then - we swam and ate lunch - poolside.  Then I told T... haircut time!!  He gladly hopped out of our chilly pool and headed to see Ms. Shari.  Once haircut was complete I told him he could have a slurpee.

 

Then it was shopping time. I pulled into a parking spot and he said "Mom, what are we getting at Marshalls?" (HOW does he know that sign says Marshall's?!?!?!)

 

Then... back home to swim. Sadly, upon getting into the water, we found a dead dragonfly.  :(

 

But I cheered him up by finishing to blow up Willy.  Yeah... that WAS a beating just in case you are wondering.

Tristan LOVED his whale!  Meet Willy!!

 

We rode Willy, flipped off Willy, fished for Willy - it was fun.  But when Daddy pulled in the driveway we hid BEHIND Willy!  Daddy couldn't find us and Tristan thought that was hysterical.

 

Then, we were busted!  Good thing was, Daddy jumped in the pool!!!

 

I was freezing... so I was pretty darn thankful!

Then today... T (of course) wanted to swim again but it's raining.  He asked if he could swim with his umbrella and swim in the rain.  WHY would I ever say no to that (well, of course if there was lightening or thunder)  BOOM - in he went...

Just swimmmmmming in the raaaaaaaain - just swimmmmming in the raaaaaaain!


I was too cold, I sat... and watched.  And loved EVERY second of it!

 

 

and we finished it off with ICE CREAM!!!

 

 

Blessed...truly, truly blessed!!!
