Turistas

Hey everyone...this is a little late since we got back almost a week ago from Me-he-co, but better late then never I suppose. Let me first start off by saying we were really worried how Riley would do on the plane rides there and back. Well, I gotta say....she was really good. I'm sure I just jinxed ourselves for our next trip. But really, she really didn't cry at all. And she slept really well while we were there too. One night from 11pm-7am.

Okay, so instead of me writing about what we did there....I'm just gonna show pictures and narrarate....sorry some of these pics don't have Riley in them...

Starting off on the plane....so far so good

Our hotel room....complete with jacuzzi right in the middle of the room

They also gave us a room with two beds??
(At least Riley got to sleep in style with her own bed)

So here's the view from the hotel...sorry got some dude's booty in the shot
(Actually, his name is Clement...)

So the next day...I got to go jet skiing with Pops in law...

So I was able to go jet skiing....cuz lil monkey was with Po Po

After a long tiring day of water sports...my K-Fed moment (clicky click to enlarge)

So I'm new to this bubbles thing...so I guess I made too many and had to throw them outside

So then we were off to dinner, where I got to show off my HS Singspiration shaker skillz

So Riley, how do you like Mexico so far?

So the next day we went into town where we found this...
which cost like 70 pesos for 1 scoop (that's like $7)

So in town we went looking for a sombrero for Riley
(this one was too big)

and this one was....too small

So the next couple days Riley stayed with Gung Gung and Po Po

So that we could go play...here we are in Tulum with the nice beach and Mayan ruins
I know...I'm standing like a girl....*shrug*

And here I am with Mexican chicken...the iguana (which were everywhere)

And here we have Chichen-Itza...one of the new 7 wonders of the world....says nerd tour lady, Adrienne

Did I mention how short the Mayans are/were?

Our one normal picture we took

So Riley, how did you enjoy your 1st vaca in beautiful Cancun??

Snorefest eh? At least Daddy and Mommy had fun...

That's all for today folks....I promise more pics of Riley and less of us from now on....sorry!

Generations

I know... I bit off of Heroes, but I really miss that show. Anyways, my cousin from LA came to visit on Monday with her 6 month old baby, Joshua. My cousin and I are the same age and now Riley and Joshua are the same age. Strange how God works things out. So here is a picture of me and my cousin, Debbie, when we were just a few months old...

Cousins version 1976

and then...drum roll please...dadadada

Cousins version 2008

1976 and 2008 combined

To add to this generations theme Adrienne took Riley to visit....are you ready for this?....her Great Great Grandmother. Ya heard me right, that's double great. Here's the proof...check it....

GGGMama in the heezy....she's over a 100 peeps! Wa wa woo wa!

Okay...we'll keep this short, so we'll end with a vee-jeo and some random pics...

One small step for man...one giant leap for RKJ (gotta wait till the end)

Thank you, thank you...hope you liked my crawl!

Looky looky what I was so lucky to get...
That's right my very own autographed Norm and Cindy card...

Riley you can have it when you're older....if you're lucky

This is how high she can lift her head now...

Whuddya looking at? RKJ out!

All By Myself...

So I've decided to try and do shorter posts but more often. That way I won't forget stuff I was meaning to write about...

So this week I've gotten to spend a lot more time with Riley all by myself. With Adrienne and I trying to go back to work we've been taking turns with Riley while the other is at work. So this week I had her Tuesday, Thursday, and today. And I do think the more time I spend alone with her the better I get to know how she ticks. Here are some things I've figured out about her this week...

1. She smiles back at you when you smile really big at her. But only after she eats and is in a good mood.

2. She likes to sit up instead of lying down now.

3. She loves to watch either the TV screen or computer screen. So now we try not to let her watch.

4. She burps louder than I do. (Hoping to get this on video soon)

5. She has a fake cry and a real cry.

I'm glad I was able to spend more time with her this week as my baby is growing up oh so quickly. Sorry this post is more mushy than usual. Here are some pics from my week with her. Oh and wish us luck as we'll be taking our first vaca together pretty soon in the Mayan Riveria, which I found out is fancy talk for Cancun. I'm out...

Adi and Alton came by with some dessert

Its tough to get Becks to stay still

Becks looks like an old man in this one....

Auntie Cindy bought Riley a MM hat

Next stop Mexico...
