Kit Kats and Oreos....

Can I just say we have been busy around here. We are moving, and by moving I mean this Saturday will be the last day in our house. So I have been trying to spend every moment getting things in boxes and packed away. To add to all of that we have had a cloud over our heads this year when it has come to sickness. Every time we have had something big going on we all get sick. So with this week being the last week in our house we of course got sick. It started over the weekend with the kids throwing up, then of course it followed with me throwing up at the start of the week. Now it is just lingering in our little love girl with a nasty cold. Seriously I was excited to have a baby in June so that it wasn't sick season, but that hasn't seemed to matter with little Brookie. 4 ear infections later and now I'm thinking this cold with follow with another one. So as you can see the title of my post today I have eaten nothing but Kit Kats and Oreos to keep me going. Gotta love it!

On a lighter note our little ball of sunshine turned 9 months last week. Gosh we LOVE her. She has such a sweet little personality, maybe that's a girl thing? We all can't get enough of her funny, spunky, giggly personality. And maybe someday a little dancer??? I can't get over her perfect feet and turn out.. he he! We couldn't imagine what life would be like without her. So a little shout out to her today... mostly because she is sick and miserable, I miss my happy little baby!
9 months stats: Height 29 1/2 >100%(she is taller then her brother was when he was 1) Weight: 17.6 25%

And a shout out to us for nothing but boxes, boogies, chaos, Kit Kats.... and a whole lot of change coming our way!

Mexico

Mark and I got to spend the week together in the Mayan Riviera. It was a pretty awesome trip... We spent most of the time just hanging out at the pool and beach. The week before we left the kiddos were pretty sick so we were looking forward to getting out the the cold and sickness. We definitely got out of the cold but the sickness seemed to follow us.... we couldn't complain though. It seems like every time we go somewhere I always wish I would have taken more pictures so this time I tried to remember that... It didn't work.

We were able to take a couple of naps a day... and we each started and finished a book. Both of those seem to be few and far between back home. I had to laugh at the towel designs our room cleaner did everyday on the bed. They even put googly sticker eyes and lips on them :) I wish I would have taken a picture up close.

We walked down the beach all the time and ended up finding a gem of a place. It had this old abandoned boat along the way that we thought made it all the cooler :)

The water was so clear and the sand was like powder... not to mention the pier of hammocks. Seriously it was like paradise. Mark liked to snorkel around here, one fish just sat right next to his goggles just checking him out. That freaked me out a little, to think that the fish were just fine hanging right next to you so I wasn't much of a snorkeling buddy.

We seemed to always eat at this buffet because it was right on the beach. Mostly in the morning it was beautiful.

The pools were big enough... too bad they were a tad on the chilly side so there wasn't a whole lot of swimming going on in them.

We spent one day at the spa. It had 14 stations you went around to and they each did a different relaxation, massage type of thing... Mark was in heaven.
