Mexico!

Oh, mexico. You rock my world. We spent 2 weeks at the Soffe beach house. It was heaven. A week just isn't enough. Coming from the craziness of NY, this was easy living. The beach house touches the sand so we spent everyday walking on the beach and enjoying fresh air. We also enjoyed some great food. Enjoyed it so much that I now have a food baby. There is just too much to share so I just put a butt load of photos up. Sorry. Hope you enjoy.
The entire Soffe family did some air moves that we captured on film. This by far is the best and most dangerous. Well done. I blamed my weak move on my thrown out back...I had a good excuse.

4th of July

We spent our 4th in San Diego this year. Flew in on the 3rd after a long day of traveling and a 3 hour difference. Checked into our Days Inn in Encinitas (Reyn officially felt like a "dad" checking his family into a hotel late night while his family waited in the car). Put Poppy to sleep in the bathroom of the hotel. And enjoyed a free breakfast.
The 4th we drove around San Diego. Tried to find the seals in La Jolla and when we finally did, Poppy was conked out in the back. We found an amazing playground in Encinitas right on the beach and played there for a little. We then made our way to a country club with our friend...who's a member...and partied there for the rest of the night. I have to say, it was perfect with a kid. Plenty of room for her to run free and wild, they had a bouncy house that we all got in and acted like kids, a water balloon launch, and all the food you can think of. It was perfect.
I found out on this trip if you want Poppy to be your best friend, give her sugar. This is her with a huge peanut butter cookie. Would not give it up when I tried to break it into a smaller piece. I just kept telling myself, "she's on vacation, give her a break."
This is where she spent most of her time. Collecting the golf balls out of each hole and taking the poles out. Made a group of 8 year old golfers pretty upset. They even tried to through a ball to see if she would fetch it so she would leave.
End of the night after we kept her up a few hours past her bedtime. She had a blast.

Slidin

Poppy tearing it up at the park. She was scraping the slide so hard with her bare chubby legs but loving every minute of it.
Poppy's new words: can-cake (Pancake), ah oooo (ah oh), hi, ooooo? (really?)
We are heading on a 2 week vacation starting tomorrow. Freak yaaaay. First stop is San Diego for the 4th. We're staying in Encinitas and then head down to Mexico to meet Reyn's family for the rest of time. Much much needed vacation. We have both been super busy so it will be heaven just to relax on the beach for a while. Just went and painted my toes blue and waxed almost half my body (OUCH). Not really, but it felt like half my body. I've been through labor and I think that takes the cake.
