Wordless Wednesday

Of course my WW this week *MUST* be another Isla Mujeres pic! ;) I probably just need a photoblog now! ha! I love how beautiful the sky was that night!

We're Home

Our trip was *FANTASTIC!!* Great weather, really white sands, beautiful clear water, yummy food & drinks, being w/my family, sunshine, breath-taking views, and an awesome house! What more could a girl ask for?? ;) Lil' Tad absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave! He loved playing in the sand, searching for shells, and jumping in the waves the most! He was such a little trooper & such a good boy the whole week! YAY! :) Hubby says that we've spoiled him forever b/c we celebrated his birthday in Mexico and he's going to think that we have to go on vacation for his b-day from now on! ha! What's wrong w/that?? I'm all for it!! *thumbs up!*

Okay now for some pics! I took 700+ pics during the week! WOW! So it's going to be hard to share just my favorites... b/c I have soooooo many!! :)


Casa Carolina - The house we rented for the week! Loved it! (The owners are from North Carolina)


Look at that view from the pool! WOW!! I didn't want to come home!

I need to resize the pics so it looks more organized, but just want to get the posted for now!! :)

Counting down the days 'til we go back....

Mexico or Bust!

I'm outta here! Off to Isla Mujeres Mexico for a week! Woohoo! Hope everyone has a great week! Can't wait to share my pics! :)

And Happy 4th Birthday to my Lil' Tad on Sunday... :)


I love you so much my precious little man! :)

Wordless Wednesday

YAY! Finally blogger is allowing me to post! Ugh! I've tried all morning! :)
Happy Wednesday!!



Lil' Tad acting silly! :) His grandpa showed him how to do this!!!

Butterfly

I saw some HUGE butterflies flying around outside my parent's house while I was watching Lil' Tad swim w/my Dad. You can't really tell from the pic how big the butterfly is... but it was probably one of the bigger one's I've seen. I thought this pic came out nicely! :)

Photo Hunt

Theme: Community | Join the Photohunt | View the Blogroll



I had planned to get out & about on Friday to take some pics around town, but Lil' Tad had the tummy bug, so those plans were canceled. Oops! I actually took those 2 pics on my way to my parent's house this morning. I thought they turned out pretty good for me taking them through my car's windshield! ;)

Thursday 13

(A Shout-Out To TNChick For My CUTE T13 Header!)
13 Ramblings from Froggie Mama

1. Counting down the days until we leave for Mexico! 9 days!! Woohoo!


2. We already have our luggage pulled out & it's in the middle of the den floor!

3. 1 of our suitcases is already packed w/bathing suits, towels, sunscreen, walkie-talkies, binoculars, and a few other items.

4. I was going to start tanning (yeah... fake bake!) a little before we left... but I haven't even been once!

5. I tore up the house looking for our birth certificates to take w/us & hubby finally found them in a SHOE BOX by our bed! WTH?!? No idea why they were in there??

6. Non-trip stuff: Lil' Tad is taking swim lessons this week - cried some the first 2 days of classes b/c he was scared! Poor little man! NO TEARS on Wed. though! YAY!

7. I asked him why he was scared/what he was scared about - his answer... "I will sink to the bottom!"

8. Tad fell off the steps & into my parent's pool last year. My Mom was right beside him, so he barely went under... but still went under nevertheless. I think that has alot to do w/his fear, although he hasn't mentioned anything about it!

9. We will celebrate Tad's 4th birthday on the 18th (and Father's Day!) while we're in Mexico! We'll have a party for him July 1st at Putt-Putt Golf when we get back in town.

10. I'm not sure what I'm getting Tad for his b-day. "Pirates and Superheroes" - that's all that he's told me. Well, I can do that for sure! :)

11. It took me almost 2 hours to wash my car yesterday! It takes a little longer when you have a little one "helping" you, too! My car does look very nice, though!

12. I can't believe that I'm actually almost caught up w/all of my laundry!

That never happens! And we're thinking about getting some laundry done while in Mexico so I don't have to come back & wash a WEEK's worth of clothes! ACK!

13. If you made it through all of my ramblings... Thanks for reading!! :) And have a GREAT day!

Wordless Wednesday

Hubby showin' off his diving skills!

weekend & swimming

I can't believe it... but I haven't been online since Friday night! WOW! It's not b/c we had a really exciting weekend or anything, but did have some things going on. I watched a couple of movies this weekend:

Two For the Money - It was alot better than I thought it would be... and Matthew is such a cutie! (And my hometown boy! Woohoo!)

Rumor Has It - VERY CUTE movie! Hubby slept through this one (he was asleep BEFORE it started!) but I think he'd like it, too! You gotta see this one if you haven't. :)

Saturday, we decided to get a few things for our upcoming trip! (12 days & counting!!!!) Ended up spending almost $300.00 - A pair of Crocs for everyone ( a MUST HAVE for the beach!), lots of suntan/sunblock lotion, bug spray, Pepto tabs (you never know!), beach towels, walkie talkies, batteries, snorkeling gear, beach toys, juice boxes, & few things for around the house. It adds up FAST! And of course, you can't have a family outing w/out grabbing some yummy Mexican food while you're out! :) Sunday - we took Lil' Tad out to my parent's to practice getting his face/head under water again. It took a little while to get him used to the water - but a few hours later he was walking around in the shallow-end (I can't believe he's tall enough to touch already!) without his floaties! He even jumped off the bottom step & swam to his Daddy a few times WITH his face going under a little! WOW! A big accomplishment for him! He was sooo proud of himself, as we were of him, too! YAY! WTG little man! :)






And today was 1st day of swimming lessons! First thing out of Tad's mouth when we got there... "I'm scared, Mommy!" Awww! But the instructor pulled out a bucket of "swim buddies" (little figurines that float!)and Tad was gone! :) I snuck out so he really quick & peeked out from behind the house! He did really good - although he still wasn't too sure about getting his face wet, but he did a few times! I'm confident that he'll be my little fishie by the end of the week!
