Hola de Punta Mita (la tercera parte)

Buenas noches! Here are a few more trip pictures. I'll post the rest upon our return to Kansas City. Hope you all had a great week.. we sure did :)

Hola de Punta Mita (la segunda parte)

Hola, buenas dias! We've been busy having a blast in Mexico. Monday, we hung out at the beach most of the day and then today, we took a 6-hour excursion on our resort's yacht. It was spectacular.  Oh, and I got stung by a jellyfish. But other than that, we're still having a blast and may never come back :):):):):)

Hola de Punta Mita!

Buenos tardes amigos! We arrived safely yesterday in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Here are a few pictures from our first day. We are truly in heaven here, it is so serene and beautiful. Today, we took Ava to the beach for her first ever trip to the ocean. We had to walk all but a few feet to get there, and she loved every second of it. She loved the water, the sand, the waves... she was all smiles and a lot of laughs. Our villa has it's own pool so we've been spending a lot of time there. It was a great way to start vacation! I will update as we go along if I can.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!!It was a very special day. For starters, I got to sleep in until 8:30. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but it's a whole extra hour! I didn't have to make breakfast, stayed in my pajamas until noon, then we went to my favorite restaurant "North!" We used to eat there all the time in Tucson, and low and behold, they have one in Leawood! So after our wonderful meal, I went home and took a short nap then played with Ava. We were too full from lunch to eat any dinner, so we just played at home the rest of the day. It was a very relaxing day. Ava is the most amazing little girl and I feel so lucky and so blessed to be her mother. Happy Mother's Day to our mom's, grandmother's, and our other mommy friends and family! We hope you enjoyed your day!

saturday @ the zoo

We took Ava to the Kansas City Zoo on Saturday. It was a little chilly but she really enjoyed hanging out in her wagon and seeing the animals. Her favorite animals this time were... the lions.. or "really big Lola's!" They were her favorite last year too!

checking out the lions sleeping!

I know you can't see it very well, but to the right of Ava's head, that's a hippo with it's mouth open.

baboons!

more funny faces!

Three things we know (of many, hehe):
1) There is never a dull moment when Ava is around.
2) She LOVES to have her picture taken.
3) Just when we think she can't get any cuter.. she does!

p'sketti

Tuesday night I fixed spaghetti. Ava wouldn't keep her bib on, nor would she let me feed it to her with a fork, nor would she feed herself with a fork. Instead, she looked in the bowl and went "ooooooooohhhhhhh!" so I stripped her down and let her have at it! As you can see, she had a pretty good time. She even managed to take a handful and throw it over her head, down to the living room below. Silly girl!
