Rex Cruises the Caribbean! (Part 2)

Day 3 of our vacation was porting in Cozumel Mexico. We were able to take an excursion to Playa Mia Beach where there was a buffet of Mexican food, open bar, beach chairs, boats, and inflatable ocean toys. It was great for the whole family. My hubby and I were able to swim out and have fun with the ocean toys and rent a paddle boat to go explore a little bit. It was so much fun. Rex enjoyed playing the water, finding more sea shells and building a pool with Grandma in the sand. My parents enjoyed playing with Rex and relaxing in the ocean. It was a great stop. Rex passed out on the bus trip back. He was so tired from playing so hard. We then hit the shops. We were enjoying seeing all the different things they had. The sky started to look not so friendly so we headed into the biggest shop we could find and just in time. It was a down pour. We hung out in the shop and Rex picked out the magnet from Cozumel for our fridge. We collect magnets from all the places we travel (which hasn't been many places). It finally started to settle down so we headed out. He found a bar that had a person making balloon hats. My dad had to get Rex one. He took Rex in there and my mom and I headed off to a jewelry store. I was able to find (part) of my new wedding band. It is a princess cut sapphire stone. The band that I wanted to go with it was way over our budget but we got the one and will add to it later. Over all we had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves.

They had fun animals to hold and this one was all Daddy


 They handed me a parrot even though I wasn't sure I really wanted to hold it. It was nice though. Rex enjoyed seeing them so close.

 He's OUT!


 His balloon hat and his favorite funny face that we seem to never get on camera and his ears make this one even cuter! 


 Riding on an alligator. He wasn't sure about it.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

I'm Thankful For...day 2

Today I'm thankful for the snow outside and the fact that it has kept my hubby home with us today and the fact that just using google and a few other blogs for ideas I was able to find out how to make a link up!  Link ups are fun and I can't wait to read what everyone else is thankful for this month! Grab the button, link up, follow along or just read! It's up to you! <center><a href="http://www.theheartofahomemaker.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd424/Kari_Snellbaker/BLOG-thankful-1.jpg"/></a></center>

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
