Cabo 2013

Time to relax!

Fun outside

Mexican Fiesta,

show

and wonderful food.

View from one of the pools.

Perfect weather.

Special night for

meeting participants,

another amazing meal 

by the sea,

and

Mariachi Band.

Followed by drinks

at the sky bar.

We really just wanted

to lay around,

enjoy the sun,

drinks 

and water....

so,

we did!

These guys

would come out to 

catch some rays,

then head back

into the walls.

Always something

fun to buy.

Bonfire/band and bar

on the beach....

Checked off

my bucket list!

Our resort was located in

Los Cabos.

We headed into 

Cabo San Lucas once

to go whale watching.

We were a little nervous about

getting onto

this "smaller" boat

to go into the ocean...

But it ended up being

a beautiful,

fun night!

If Sean keeps

loving basketball

as much as he does,

some day he will own a yacht

like "Air Jordan's" too!

Watch out for Pirates!

There were many times

we saw Whales

from our hotel.

But once on this tour

we didn't see a single one!

Not a bad spot for wedding photos!

We Sailed home,

unbelievably relaxing!

(or maybe it was the Bloody Mary's)

:)

We had some time left in Cabo,

so walked down the

marina to find a restaurant.

Couldn't decide where to go,

until our friend

saw this shirt hanging 

in the rafters of this restaurant.

The rest is history

(you can ask Jake for the crazy details!)

But we had the BEST night,

BEST margaritas,

and BEST food we have EVER

eaten!

All because of this shirt!

Oh, and we got 

Cap'n Jake to perform too!

The boys are obsessed

with Army/good guys/bad guys.

So, we got some pics to show them

what the "good guys"

carry around in Mexico!

And.....

the shirt continues 

into the next day.....

Ran into one of the

anesthesia Dr's

from my dad's original group.

I really believe

it was that group of men

that put the spark and love

for anesthesia 

in my heart.

I still remember going

to visit my dad

at work

when I was young,

and thinking

it was the coolest

place 

and 

they were the coolest guys

ever!

Playing with my camera....

so nice to see COLOR

after looking at white snow forever...

Room with a view!

The waves were so loud at times,

it sounded like thunder.

Can't wait to go back!

Movies!

Here are a couple more fun videos of~

More Basketball!

and

More Dancing!

Love, the rockinryans

Lets...

Get this party started!

Birthday Boy....

all he wanted to do

was...

BASKETBALL!!!!

(14 shots in a row, his record!)

We had a great time playing,

eating 

and spending time with the fam!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Lovin' his basketballs!

Love, the rockinryans

The White Stuff

After the storm passed,

we ventured out....

To be honest,

my boys were not too crazy

about the cold, wet outdoors.

About 30 minutes of cramming into

layers of clothing =

about 10 minutes outside.

But, that is alright.

It's not very often we

experience that much snow!

love, the rockinryans

Blizzard!

16 inches!

We were glad 

to be inside,

safe warm and together!

But Daddy

braved the outdoors

to clear some driveways.

(We think he was having fun!)

Meanwhile....

we practiced some Yoga

And kept

our brains busy!

Love, the rockinryans

More....

Snow days!

Mini-volcano's.

Supposed to drop vinegar 

onto baking soda.....

That was not exciting enough.

Seanie figured out

that pouring

the baking soda

into the vinegar

was much more fun!

Building a dinosaur habitat

with....beans.

This kept them busy for hours!

We LOVE

going to Farmer Appreciation dinners

with daddy!

The boys can't believe

they get to eat inside

an elevator!

(This was just a few hours

before the blizzard hit....

notice just jackets on!)

That night Trent

got very sick,

so the next day

Sean did

"Milk Painting"

on his own.

Very pretty,

but only fun

for about 10 minutes.

So, we switched to

"Bubbles" instead.

I was thankful 

for these

calm days,

the ability to stay home

with my sick baby

and for

all of our fun experiments!

Dentistry

"AHHHHH"

Sean had his first

dentist appointment.

He did great!

He loved the water

and kept asking for more!

Trent went in by himself

and also had a great checkup.

I feel so proud that 

I can take my boys

to these types of things

and not have to worry

about bad behavior.

The next day

they opened their own office 

and worked on each other.

To them,

this may be how big 

they think the drills are!

No bugs in our teeth!

love, the rockinryans

stayin busy

Our snow days

were filled with 

every activity

we could think of!

We~

celebrated Kansas Day.

 

Baked and cooked together.
(I love 
the fact that
my boys
share my love
for the kitchen!)

 

Made moon-dough.

They played with this stuff

for 3 straight hours.

But, it also took

that long to clean it up!

It was nice having

these "lazy" days to

spend together!

And there were more to come....

love, the rockinryans
