Bienvenidos

Lately I feel like we are part Mexican.... considering we have been there TWICE in the past month! Except the only Spanish I seem to know is... Gracias!! We absolutely love it there! In fact, we've decided that we'd like to go down at least once every other month. It is so relaxing and beautiful! And Brooklyn absolutely loves it! It's such a nice getaway! So, if you'd like to join us... let us know! It's always a good time!

Miracles Do Happen!

Yes!! It is truly a miracle to be updating my blog! It just seems a lot easier to use Facebook these days. But, after talking to my friend Ashley, I realized how this really can be used as sort of a journal (considering I am not very good at keeping one).

Time seems so be flying faster than normal these days. I can't believe it has been 7 months since I've posted. Where did the time go? So much has happened, too much to do a full update, but I will do my best to fill you in on our crazy lives.....

Needless to say... it was a great superbowl game! It just wasn't the outcome we wanted! :)

CARDINALS FEVER!!!

I've caught the bird fever! Wow...What an amazing game! I am so excited that the Cardinals made it to the super bowl! It always makes the super bowl game so much more exciting when your team is playing! So.... GO CARDS!!

I'm back!

Wow!! So much has happened in the past couple months! Brooklyn is now 3 months old (15 weeks to be exact)!! She already weighs 13.5 lbs! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She found her voice and loves to hear herself talk! She is also figuring out how to roll over! We are also very happy that she is completely sleeping through the night now.... yay!! She is sooo much fun! So here are some of the many highlights from the past couple months!.......................
