Some pics and recap from our Mexican Vacation:
We brought home a mexican wrestler named SanTiagito (Little James in spanish)
Hot Sauce and Coconuts- yummy
fun friends in Ensenada
Hot Short Shorts on our Catamaran in Cabo
View of our ship off Lovers Beach
So no red ligh heels and slutty bikinis but it was a lot of fun and a lot of sleep- very relaxing- just in time for all the snow we are getting. I can't complain now....:) The highlight of the trip for me was Rob singing kareoke to Boys to Men -- I'll make love to you. I signed him up so he was suprised when they called his name. He went up to sing even though he was bright red. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time.

that would have been good to know BEFORE i went and blew $15 at the gateway santa. i don't even love the picture, so i'll probably hit up fashion place tomorrow AND university mall on monday (they do it free on Mondays there, so i hear...).
my friend gave me some of those peppermint marshmallows on lollipop sticks packaged with hot cocoa packets. it was such a cute little treat bag and so yummy!
let's play soon...
oh, doy. and JEALOUS of that trip! i'm not dying in this cold just yet, but i'll always say yest to a beach trip!
Liz I love your comments- you are so funny.
those marshmallows are a great idea, sounds good. Your trip looked so nice and warm, can't beat that, and your husband singing sexy love songs to you is a awesome bonus!
I'm definitely jealous of your Mexico trip. Looks so nice and warm!!!
Love your top 10 free things to do at Christmas...the marshmellows are genius! I am going to have to borrow that idea from ya and make them.
I am sooo glad you guys had a good time on your cruise! They are sooo relaxing and you should have taped Robert doing kareoke, that would have been hilarious to see!
Aahhh, just looking at your cruise pictures makes me feel relaxed. We've gotta go on a cruise. And don't you just love how they put hot sauce on EVERYTHING in Mexico? We went to the movies in Tijuana once and they had a hot sauce/chili powder bar for the popcorn.
I made those marshmallows too! I saw the idea in Better Homes and Gardens. They're so pretty.
Oh yes, one final thing. I'm crazy about the little Santiago wrestling outfit, that is awesome!
too bad I didn't tape it- he would be a new you tube star!
Sooo jealous about the trip we wish that we were there. We love the picture on Santa's lap and we are now looking forward to New Years. You are the only one that we can hang out with that understands what its like to have 2 kids and deal with life as we know it.
Ape you are so hot! Your cruise looks fun. We got some of those luchadore costumes for the girls but in Hello Kitty, Dora, and Cinderella. I wish I could have been with you guys.
oh my.....that trip! and of course I had to read about it today of all days!!!
we went to the tree lot on 90th and state and they wanted you to "tip" santa if you took any photos of him or the reindeer!! I couldn't believe it! so of course I snuck one in for free!
Um, I laughed so hard at this post. You are so hilarious. Good thing we're friends or I'd totally be jealous. I'm sad I haven't really done any Christmas stuff. It's been so crazy getting ready for the wedding and the holiday.
I love you tons! VIVA MEXICO!!! Let's go again. Remind me to send you the video we have of Rob singing.
April - definitely not TMI!! Tell me what else you use! I noticed the other night that you have great skin, thanks for the tip with the concealer/powder. And you're right, $30 is not bad at all if it lasts that long! Thanks!
Hey babe! i will use some of these tips! Those cookies look yummy! and your sons are so handsome!
We did that same cruise when I was pregnant, it was our last hooray before becoming parents. I just have to comment on the hot hot short shorts. Ask Berto to tell you the story about those shorts the day we met and went cliff jumping at Fossil Springs. He might remember some red head girl screaming: "TAKE THEM OFF!" But we won't say who that red head girl was!
Oh, I forgot to mention that the peppermint marshmellows to put in the hot chocolate look so dang good! Leave it up to you Utah people to think of something like that! I think it might get cold enough to drink hot chocolate here maybe twice a year!
(wow, you got 3 comments in one day from me, are you feeling lucky?)
