Some Winter Months...

Here is what we have been up to these past winter months...

Nick and I took a winter vacation to Cancun with our friends, Jake and Debby. (I am totally sold on going somewhere warm in the middle of winter...I think it makes winter seem not so long plus the no kids rule is always nice:)


Senor Frogs. That is a crazy place! I thought for sure Nick was going to be pressured into drinking;)

Nick loves to snorkel and tried to snorkel on a stormy day but didn't get far because the waves were too dangerous and the life guard whistled at him. (Everyone stared at him like he was crazy, which he is:)


The car we drove to Coba and Tulum in. It looks so small but is amazingly spacious inside. Nick wants it to be our next car. (Where would I put the double stroller... I think my double stroller is bigger than that car!)

Riding bikes at Xel-Ha

Then, in February we went up to our cabin with the Youngs and Barneys.

Boston, Oakley and Colter riding behind the snowmobile.



Yes, that is me driving and Debby with the kids in the sled. (I think she might have broken her back on the bumps)
We have been to the Farm at Thanksgiving Point. (My boys love to ride the horses!)
Beckham usually is carrying his 'rope' (shoe lace) trying to whip the horse (which is probably not a good thing) and yelling 'Giddyup Cowboy'!.
We have 'attempted' the potty training thing. I'm not convinced he is ready but we are getting new carpet and I thought it would be better for him to have accidents on the old stuff rather than the new. But he likes to wear a helmet and jersey while he is playing with his motorcycles... this was just a pit stop. (Hey, we are all about safety in this family;)
I think I changed my mind and am going to potty train in the summer while we are gone. Oh, we are heading to Mississippi for the summer for Nick's work again. We leave the end of April!

Can I go on those WINTER, NO KIDS vacations with you guys next year?!! Seriously, Winter in Utah is insanely long, I have no idea why the hubs n I never go some place warmer.. Definitely NOT a Winter person! Potty training is awesome, I cant wait til my 2 1/2 year old quits having accidents in his underwear, I'm ready to be 100%.. Have fun this Summer in Mississippi!!
