Cabo San Lucas

Last week we went to Cabo San Lucas with most of the Welch family. It was an adults only trip and we had the time of our lives. After the long flight and layovers we finally arrived, and the party began. We spent everyday on the beach, eating chips and salsa and drinking pina colada's or my favorite Miami Vice (1/2 pina colada and 1/2 Strawberry Daiquiri...virgin of course) Alberto quickly became my best friend, he was the guy that brought me my food and drinks at the beach everyday...I love happy hour.
We had so much fun in the sun with everyone.
The only down side what that little London decided to make her appearance while we were all playing in Mexico. At least she gave us all an excited reason to come home.

We went snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, swimming, got stung by little jelly fish, sailing, dancing, played tennis, went to the spa, played ultimate Frisbee, met interesting people, and so much more.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful vacation, it was truly needed and time well spent!

And the fun continues...

So this year just like the two years before we hosted our annual Halloween party. I must say that the funness has finally caught on...if you actually dress up it makes the party more fun :)

So this year we had great turn out, and tonz of fabulous costumes. Here's just a peek at who was there:

Little Red Ridding hood, and the Big Bad Wolf were there: Chris and Shianne Dredge won this year's "Best Costume" award.
Also there from left to right we had a couple from Mexico (Lauren and Tyler Hicks), Me and Andy, A flower and bumble bee (Rachel and Wesley), A Chinese couple, A polygamist couple (Brett and Lisa Healey), Little Red Ridding hood and the wolf, and a couple of Nerds.

Here we have my parents... they dressed up as grandparents...get it hahaha. Us and Wes and Rachel.

We played tonz of games, and were exhausted by the end of the night!

Thanks to everyone who came, until next time....
