March

Whew! I am back from my little blogging hiatus. March was a busy, busy month for us and April is proving to be just as full. So, to catch up we are going to let pictures show most of what we have been up to :)

 Em and Ans, little cuz buddies

My Aunt Kelly came down in March and it is always a party when she comes. We love spending time with her. Poor Emery needed a nap if you can't tell. 

A week later we left for our Cook family vacay that we take every year around March or April. We usually go to Rocky Point but we switched it up with a cruise around Mexico instead. It was a BLAST! 

We also got to go up a couple days before the cruise and spend some time in Norco with Grammy. Lacey and Jeff and Tyler were all visiting too which was an added bonus. We had a fun beach day with them!

Now get ready for picture overload bc we have a ton from the cruise! 

First day we went and played at the kids pool

 Brushing dad's hair before bed

First excursion and probably my favorite...Cabo! 

The beach was beautiful and the most fun one to swim in. The snorkeling was great too. Emery loved swimming in the ocean with mom and dad. 

 Started playing with the sand right away. She loves it.

 Before I get to the 2 other excursions here's a little bit of what we did on the boat. 

 Dinners were always fun. We all got together and talked about our favorite parts of the day, plus they had some great food. I liked lobster night best. Delicious! 

Dancing with daddy while we waited to be seated. There were always live bands performing.

I (and I'm sure Lindsay too) were very grateful they had a little playroom for babies and little classes 2-3 times a day. 

Em and Ans at the painting class

 And a music class

This was the lady who was in charge of putting all this together. Her name was Awesome and it truly fit her. She was great with the babes and loved Emmy. 

At breakfast, don't mind my sweaty-ness I was at the gym. Breakfast was my favorite meal. They had delicious breakfast food. Emery loved it too because they had scrambled eggs and "nanas" for days. 

Excursion #2 Mazaltan (I have no idea if thats how it is spelled) 

This was a fun excursion for the shopping and just kind of sight seeing around the city. The beach here wasn't the best though, but still so much fun.

 Sun glasses ready!

 As soon as she saw four wheelers she made a run for them. She loves anything that reminds her of her motorcycle rides with dad.

Watching the cliff divers

 Wanted to be right in the middle of those nasty pigeons

 Beautiful Cathedral in the city

And Em passed out as soon as we got to the beach

Last excursion was Puerto Vallarta. I loved this one! Maybe this one was my favorite...
They had thee best food and tons of stuff to do!

 On the boat ride over to the beach we were going to spend the day at. We saw a whale which was really cool.

 You best believe we went and laid out on those floating docks

 Thanks to Court swimming out to the diving board boat and pulling the ladder down, others got to jump off too.

 This beach really was awesome. In one section they had hammocks, then you could walk farther down and there was an area with fire pits and then walk farther down and an area with paddle boarding, scuba gear. We went paddle boarding and Em loved it. Someone in my family has a picture of us on it. They had a little 'adventure walk' you could walk up into the forest-y parts and see parrots and monkeys. It was a blast.

 In heaven. Emery was singing in this picture haha

Cutest babes on the beach. These girlies loved the sand!

Aw the Cruise. We have some pretty fun memories now and I think coming back to a ton of work makes us often wish we could go back. We are definitely back on the grind around here, but still loving life all the same!
