Big Boy Toys!!!

Every now and then Tawni lets me get on the blog and post something fun for me. This last week was exactly that! Our anniversary was awesome we had a babysitter went and saw "The Help" laughed and cried. Ate sushi, shopped, bought little toddler tom's shoes as a gift for Isla, on our day.... Parenthood right?


All in all it was a blast!

Today though was Guy Time! My dad and I had been planning this for a while and finally got our chance. I've been working on Grandpa's old Landcruiser for ages and finally got it running and doing great! So we got it painted. It looks unreal!!!!!
Those of you who have not followed here is the progression.
 This is me at age 3 in front of the Coyote. I learned to drive in it.
 This is how it spent the winter, not moving much.

 Got it running but looks were a little rough.



Now it looks great!!!!!

Thanks again to my sweethear! and our cute baby! They were tons of help.


Here is the link to my build if you want to read more!

She's on the Prowl


She's getting braver everyday with walking! 


She even gives herself some kisses for all her hard work, ok she just likes to give herself kisses anyways.


 Stairs are no problem...well except going down, she still thinks head first is the way to go.


Such bittersweet times - out goes our baby, and in comes a big girl!

Back Again

It's been FOREVER since i've blogged! Have you given up on me yet?! We've been so busy this Summer and I'll attempt to try and catch up!

Micah and I just got back from our week long vacation with our cousins and minus baby (that was a big step for us!) but we had a blast on the cruise, snorkeling, zip lines, and eating!


Beautiful Cabo San Lucas with our cruise ship behind us:

 It got a little crazy with all the snorkelers, water taxis, and swimmers.


 The fun towel origami every night...i wasn't sure what this one was...a bunny??


Since Micah served in Chihuahua Mexico he trusts the street vendors! Me...not so much...so he got himself his fruit bag served with a chili seasoning and lime flavoring. I took pictures and waited for the cruise food ;)


Micah loved jumping from the rock, especially the very top. Hali and I jumped from the middle part, and that was high enough for us! I'm such a wimp with heights!


The highlight of our trip was going to Puerta Vallarta and ziplining. The tour guides were so funny and upbeat. It started raining - downpour rain that soaked us - but the guides told us that it was just more fun, and he was right because it wasn't too hot and it was beautiful warm rain.


We went deeeepppp into the mountains - this was our view of Puerta Vallarta and we could see our cruise ship from the top. That was an adventure in itself to get to the ziplining spot, the roads were washing away in some parts and pretty sure that all the tires weren't on the road at some point.


We got back Sunday night and got to see Isla earlier than expected! We got all the snuggles we could  before her bedtime. She wasn't too sure about us at first (a week is a long time!) but finally warmed up Monday and I think it clicked in that we were missing for awhile! She turned 11 months on the first and is just growing up so fast! But I'll do a post on that later!
