Mexico!

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Mexico. I put most of them on Facebook because it was easier.

Akumal, Mexico

We had the most amazing week in Akumal, Mexico with Barry's family celebrating his brother's wedding. Brody was such a trooper. He was perfect on the plane trip down, but had some ear trouble the last 20 minutes of the flight back. 1 out of 2 is pretty good though if you ask me! We were able to snorkel right outside the condo we stayed in as well as in a nearby lagoon. Brody had his first dip in the ocean with his new wetsuit from Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Steve, pretty darn cute! He even had swim shoes from Omi!

Overall we did lots of exploring, lots of beach and ocean time, lots of Mexican food, and lots of quality time for Brody to catch up with Grandma Cindy, Grandpa Steve, GG Marian, Uncle Eric, Uncle Zach, and Aunt Aimee!

More pictures to follow!

Buh-bye GG, I love you! Brody had some nice visit time with GG over the holidays. Now she's back in warm AZ and Brody cannot wait to see her lots this summer!

Omi had a nice holiday vacation while Barry was home from school on break. She had to come rescue us a couple of times though because she's the only one skillful enough to sit Brody down and cut his nails.

Playing games with Omi :)

Having Fun

Playing my new drum! I got this people! No problem :)

Holy cow, look at my new drum!

Ah, this guitar strap is way too big for me peeps!

Cool sweatshirt dad, but it's a tad too big still!

"Right Audrey, you want me to sit still for you?"

G.A.S. chasing Brody around in circles.

Later in the day, Brody tipped the kitchen over (shockingly).

"Hey Andy, want to play?"

Right, what crazy people try getting a "good" photo of these 3 movers?

Awww, great smiles by Brody & Aunt Whitney.

"Hey, you look hungry, want a cracker? Let me feed it to you."

"Table, floor, doesn't matter, I'll eat anywhere."

Christmas art project for Uncle Eric, Uncle Zach & Aunt Aimee. I think the penguin turned out pretty good considering the wiggle worm we had to work with.

Merry Christmas
