South of the Border













Its time for an update.
Shawn sent the kids and I to Mexico to break up the winter for us. He wasn't able to come with us due to his schedule at work. Theres always next year.

I didn't think that this trip would be all that much work. I have done solo trips to Mexico before and it all went smoothly. This time was great as all the rest have been. A bit more work due to the fact that I am 7 mo. pregnant and Finley and Maverick have enough energy to power up the engine of a 747.
We had a great trip. My two sisters and their families all drove to Mexico, and Mom and Dad were there waiting for us to arrive. We always like to crash their retirement trips.
Some highlights from our trip.
* Riding in an airplane! What is more exciting to a boy than flying faster than wind.
* Meeting up with cousins that you haven't seen for over 9 months.
*Seeing Grandma & Grandpa and Grandpa being so thrilled he found a secret parking spot at the airport..(it was a car rental holding garage! Free!)
* Eating authentic Mexican food. No fake stuff. All side street vendors.
* Tacos $1.25 stuffed full of yum.
* Beach
* Seashell hunting
* Sand dollar searching, and Kennedy finding a hidden Octopus in her giant shell!
* A heated pool.
* Sun, sun, sun!
* Seeing the President of the USA land his plane next to ours on the trip home.
Enjoy all the pictures, they tell more than I could ever explain.

A lot of Nothing



Kennedy got a states Quarter board from Uncle Ralph & Aunt Jayne for her birthday.


Shawn has had some free time to create Knight Maverick & Sr. Finley.


In serious battle.


It's been a while since our last post, and there is reason for this.
With the weather being in the negatives sometimes up to -40 below, we have been house bound for some time. And with that is a whole lot of nothing going on.
Madalyn and Kennedy think they are back on Christmas break because school had been canceled for 5 days due to extreme temperatures.
We have kept busy with play dough, painting, and lots of ABC's.
Thank goodness Santa brought the Wii at Christmas, this is how Maverick and the girls get their physical exercise.
Shawn has been busy delivering babies, and I have kept myself occupied by making baby quilts, and rearranging fabric to make room for the new addition.
Until the weather warms up again, I assume these will be our basic activities.
