I'm always amazed by the simple things that can keep these 2 occupied....
Exhibit A) The Winnie the Pooh airplane
Exhibit B) The lid to my sewing maching
Levi is quite the little Rangers fan! He and Daddy went to a game with Nana and Grandpa last week....
The weather has been GORGEOUS lately!!! We've been taking full advantage of it. There have been many days where we aren't inside at all except for nap time. Levi got the hang of riding his bike while we were in Mexico, so we've been going over to Nana and Grandpa's to borrow their driveway. Chloe is just perfectly content pushing her stroller everywhere!
Practicing his baseball skills...which evidently include getting the imaginary dirt off your imaginary shoes...

Welcome fall!
As soon as we came home from Mexico, we were welcomed with better fall weather! I'm loving it!
These were actually taken before we left...but how could I leave this off the blog?!?! We were going to church and when I got Chloe out of the carseat, Levi said "Awwwwwww! She so cuuuute!" And then he hugged her. I almost lost it, they are my life!
Then when we got back....time for fall clothes!!!! This sweet girl also hit 15 months while we were gone. She had her checkup last week and is just perfect!! She weighs 21 lb and is just shy of 30 inches long. She's pretty short for her age, but exactly average in weight. Just perfect if you ask me! She's got his new head nod, like she's saying yes. But it's REALLY big!! Hilarious and sweet!
Love dressing them up!
This morning it was "PJ Day" at the library. Why? Well Ms. Kim had a baby 2 WEEKS ago!! Don't blame her. I'd wanna wear my pjs too! Actually she came last week!! I couldn't believe she was there one week after having a baby! It killed me to take them in public like this. I don't like it. But I'm not gonna let them participate in the fun!!
Levi found an acorn outside and said "Looooook! It's coc-nut!" Hahahaha! I don't even think he knows what a coconut is! We've talked all day about acorns. :)
Sissy loves the library!!

Mexico 2013
We've been looking forward to this trip for about 2 years now!! We were so excited, but it's so sad to leave these two adorable kiddos!!
We stayed at The Royal in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It was a beautiful resort! Definitely recommend it to anyone going to Mexico!
We loved being treated like royalty for a few days....turn down service and such!
When we got there Tuesday, we just hung out at the pool and then went to dinner at one of the fabulous restaurants! These two can NEVER just be real in a picture!
Just a couple of the little shops outside the hotel. We were jut one block away from the 5th Ave shopping.
I finally begged and got them to take a picture for their mother!!
3 of my favorite people in the world!
There was a group of 10 of us on this trip to celebrate the big 30 for Trent & Brent. Nell and Dan, Johanna and Steve, us, Brent and Tif and Micah and Ashley who are missing in the pic.
Wednesday we had planned an excursion that was ATVs, wave runners, and snorkeling. We had some crappy weather for a couple of days but it ended up working out ok. We only did the ATVs which was really cool since the trails were all muddy. We stopped in a cave (unbeknownst to me beforehand, but it was just a little ways in and it was really big) swam in a cenote (an opening from the underground rivers of this area) and walked down the beach where they filmed a few Corona commercials.
When we got home we had a celebratory meal!! Complete with singing, flaming shots and tres leches cake!
Thursday we set out for Xcaret. This is kind of like an amusement park, but it's all based on Mayan ruins, traditions, and the underground rivers. Some flamingos just following along?
An example of a Mayan cemetery.
These giant lizards were everywhere.
Can my grave please look like this?? How beautiful! Little tiny chapel looking things!
You get snorkeling gear, then get into the underground river. There were a couple of options though. A) 80% darkness (no thanks) or B) 25% darkness (yes please.) For those of you who don't know...I don't do caves. I especially don't do swimming in caves. It wasn't too bad though, because anytime we went into a cave we could see daylight. It doesn't make any sense to me why you'd want to swim in complete darkness and not see any of God's beauty???
It was wonderful though! Gorgeous, clear water! The snorkeling gear was pretty useless though until the very end when it opened up some and there were some beautiful fish!
Gorgeous view!!!
These darn guys did some ancient rain dance...
and then it poured rain for an hour. Thanks. Couldn't ya have waited another 3 days?
Stunning!!
Look how crystal clear the water is!
Uncle Brent climbing this teeny tiny steps!
There were lots of big turtles!!
Photo Op in the orchid room!
All of us waiting on the traditional dancing show.
They did traditional dances from each of the states of Mexico.
Then it was over to an ancient game they played.
The first was a game they played where they hit a ball with their hip. The next was kind of like hockey, only on their feet and the ball was on FIRE!
I'm still a little like a child with these shows. These people kind of scare me a little even though I know they're not real. haha. This guy got REAL close to light our candles.
On Friday, we checked something off my bucket list. Swimming with the dolphins!! I only uploaded this one picture so I'll have to edit this post when I get the rest uploaded. Let's just say...it was an AMAZING experience!!! We had a blast and the weather was gorgeous!
Saturday morning we did a little shopping before heading back. We stopped for a quick fish spa experience!
It felt really funny at first, like your feet were vibrating. But you get used to it pretty quick!
It was such a WONDERFUL trip!! We had an amazing time having adult time, but we kept saying the whole time that we can't wait to take the kids on a trip like this!!
