Isaac's Fun Around the Resort

The resort had a few photographers on staff and they would walk around the resort and take pictures and you have the option of getting them or not. Since we did the family session we bought the CD and added all the pictures on CD. This first one is of him at Baby Club. Swimming in the pool, he is now very good at blowing bubbles underwater and scaring mama. He loved putting his fingers in the crab holes and just dig in the sand. He did not attempt to eat the sand. Us lounging in a poolside bed. Making a tie dye shirt with Daddy. Watching a puppet show. Saying hi to the crab that tried to sneak into our room. Watching TV in his room because the afternoons were too hot to be outside and their pools are heated. Checking out one the many playgrounds. Just chillin Discovering where banana's come from, touching them then running for mama. Playing in the ocean with Daddy. The wave got him, click on the picture to see that he never dropped his sippy cup. It was still in his mouth when he was picked up. I'm still cleaning sand out of his ears from this fall. He loved calling the front desk.

Plane rides with a 1.5 year old

It was a little over 2 hours to Houston then another 2 hour flight to Ixtapa. Isaac was pretty good on the first plane ride since we had seat right in the front we had a lot of leg room for him to play on the floor. Then he slept the entire way from Houston to Ixtapa and that flight was FULL of kids. The flight attendant said he thought this flight was going to Disney just based on the number of kids.
We weren't so lucky on the way back. Isaac screamed on the way up and the way down on both flights back, I'm pretty sure it had to do with his ears. Well, about 20 minutes into the first flight he threw-up in his carseat, thankfully only a little splatter on me and I had a change of clothes. After waking David to help me clean up I then passed Isaac off today and tried my best to unwind from that episode. As we were pulling into the gate in Houston, Isaac fell asleep. Sleeping through customs and waking up when we got the car rental shuttle. The next plane right was a few days later and it was almost as horrible. After leaving the hotel we stopped for some food before going to the airport and before we even left the restaurant's parking lot Isaac threw-up in his carseat. My wonderful husband cleaned the carseat the best he could in the Texas heat while I tried to clean up Isaac in the restaurant's bathroom. We thought it would be best if he just traveled in a diaper for the remainder of the trip. He was very hard to keep entertained on the flight back to Indy and David now wants to invest in a portable DVD player.

So proud of my little BOY

He's really not a baby anymore, but I will never stop calling him that. He's been going pee pee on the potty. Everynight before his bath he willingly jumps on the potty and goes pee pee. I'm not quite sure what the next step is because I wasn't ready for it to move this fast. He might be telling me he's going pee pee throughout the day but I really don't understand most of what he's saying. I did figure out this week that dadough means tractor and dowdye means outside.

Love these commercials

Braided Headband

A little something to make my rat's nest look a little more stylish and to make me look a little less homly. The tutorial is here but I guess my head is a little bigger so I cut 20in of ribbon. I found this tutorial from Jill.

How do we keep the garden alive while away?

We pray it rains, and we got rain everyday we were gone. It can been see in the picture of the moat around our garden boxes. We used to have the hoses on a timer but one year our neighbor noticed that his yard was soaked and it was coming from our yard. One of the hoses broke, and thankfully our neighbor turned it off for us. We also have a hummingbird living on our garden bench in the cow head. She is currently singing all day everyday. These tomatoes are the biggest we've ever had, they are now as tall as me! Every time I see these cucumbers I think, "Feed me Seymour!!" They have taken over their box and are moving on to the other boxes around them. I need to learn how to can soon because we are going to have more than we can handle or give away soon.

Circus training

I had a so much fun that I didn't notice all the bruises on my legs and arms until I was on the ground for awhile. Although it was fun, I was terrified once I got to the top of the ladder and had to step over to the platform without a rope attached. I never hopped off the platform when they told me the first time; it was usually on the second call that I was able to go. But now that I'm looking at these pictures it looks like I might have been pushed.

David's show

While we were learning how to use the trapeze, David was asked to be a part of their show that night.

Yummy, yummy food

The food was OH SO GOOD, and different everyday. The dinning rooms were beautifully decorated and unique. David took a couple of culinary classes and got to know the chefs, who made great recommendations on what to eat. He also got the staff to make a special desert for me and sing for my birthday. The last pictures are of some of David's work.
