christmas in july!

last month linda from craftaholics anonymous hosted a gift exchange that i participated in. i was so excited because this was my first exchange but it will definitely not be my last!

so last week i received my package from brooke and i couldn't be happier with what i got. she sent me two adorable headbands and i love, love, love them! thanks so much brooke!

getting back on track

where have i been, you may ask?

here ;)

my family along with my cousin's family and my aunt spent an amazing week in cancun mexico.

this was our first time going out of the country with the kids so we were a little nervous about the flight but they did great!

the resort we stayed at was great for families. there were 4 pools on site

 

they also had a water park for kids 12 and under...

and for the bigger kids they had larger water slides ;)

and of course we were right on the beach so we hung out there too!

we were so blessed we were able to spend this time with our family

the boys spent one day on the sea! they did good huh?

now we have got the itch and are planning on a big family trip every year. where should we go next?
