A crazy month of February

I am catching up from this hectic month...we have had visitors for a month straight!

A few words to describe the events:

Leslie Boley (Surprise, AZ)
Beautiful, creative (we spray painted my silver curtain rods with a "oil rubbed bronze spraypaint"), hard working, listening ear, supportive, happy, decorator, specific, genuine and sweet with my boys...














Next came the visit from my mother (SLC, UT) and brother Gavin (Provo, UT). We celebrated his birthday, made an arrollado, read books, went to "Mexico" (Downtown El Paso) and drooled over my mother's recent Argentina trip...while we prepared an Argentine dinner of Milanesas





















Next came my dad and his dear wife Olga (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico) who came to take care of our kids for a week....
They loved to hear Austin's latest word, "Marshmellow." Lots of bike rides, books, clean up, naps, spilled sippies and family dinners...
















April Ashton made a quick weekend trip with her DEAR baby Titan...one word: baby hungry! They were so low key, flexible, refreshing, up to date with any topic and happy!












Off we went to Los Cabos San Lucas, Mexico for a week with our DirectBuy people...a reward given to our center here in El Paso for "Market Efficiency." We were thrilled to be chosen. Whale watching, SUNBURNS (now blisters and skin falling off all over my body!!!!!), snorkeling, cold nights, windy sunsets, homemade guacamole, gorgeous sunrises, I will mention my extreme SUNBURN again, smooth taxi rides and yummy virgin daquiris.


We are back at home...trying to get caught up in our pantry, cleaning, emotional health and spending time with our boys.


We have a lot of things coming up in the near future, so we are grateful for a chance to relax for a few days.

You poor thing! That sunburn looks ferocious... although I can't say I feel too bad for you, since you got it while vacationing in gorgeous sunshine, AND since you have ridiculously good-looking abs! ;)

I love your bathtub, your house looks great, your Mom is gorgeous, your kids are squeezable... you've got it all, girl!

Lots of love!
