Pura Vida

2 years have come and gone so Jesse and I decided to celebrate big-time this year... by traveling to Costa Rica!! There is so much I could say and a million pictures I could post but I will just quickly sum it all up

While in Costa Rica we:

woke up to this view every day...

Missed this munchkin like crazy...

Had this balcony to watch the sunrise/sunset from...

Played in the ocean & sand...

were begged for food by these little rascals...

caught this guy scurrying around our room....

took a zipline through this...

Over that...

next to this...

and looked pretty awesome while doing it (remember safety first!!)...

oh ya and we also went through this...

rode horses to this waterfall where Jesse decided to jump in, I opted out of the wet shorts/chaffing...

covered ourselves in volcanic mud to release our "inner beauty"...

watched this every night...

and made out while doing so...

saw crocodiles...

iguanas...

while riding in this down the tempisique river...

we looked so fun this little fella decided to jump on our boat and join us...

So that's it.. if you are dying to hear more details or see more pictures I would gladly oblige!

We had the best time and totally took advantage of no baby and the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door ;)

The past couple of years have gone so fast but I can say they have been the best 2 years of my life!

P.S. we are planning a trip to Brazil next August.. let me know if you'd like to join us!!

Holy Halloween...

Let's start things off right.. Carli and Preston pull out all the stops on halloween and never disappoint.. here they are as Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter... Here's a close-up of P's make-up.. doesn't it look incredible.. I love the family Halloween party.. everyone gets dressed up and it makes it so, so much fun!!

Syd and I.. she is the purple teletubby.. ha ha

So KC hated (which is actually more like despised) her costume so here is one of a very few shots of our little chick-a-dee

And here is mommy with her sweet chick.. I went as a clown (kinda)

Daddy had to miss the party so he could sit in the mountains and shoot a deer!!

And let's not forget my mamma and pappa.. a pirate and his wench!!

Here's Cade as a wizard and Samantha as Medusa.. She had a million snakes in her hair!

So there's our Halloween party.. i didn't get very many pictures- Let's be honest I struggle in the picture taking department but at least I got a few!
