As a graduation present to ourselves, Ollie and I went on our first "big" vacation since our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. It was amazing and beautiful! We were there for a week and enjoyed relaxing on the beach, swimming in the ocean and drinking pinacoladas everyday. We took one excursion out on a boat to swim with sharks and stingrays, which was very neat! We went into town a few times for shopping and befriended one of the shop owners named Johnson. One day we went kayaking, which was fun, but after about fifteen minutes the waves tired us out. Overall we had a fabulous time and a great tan, but were ready to get home to our kiddos. There are an extreme amount of pictures, but I thought you'd enjoy them.
Genevieve's best friend, Gracie, recently had her 4th Birthday Party. It was a Princess party. Everyone dressed up in their favorite princess outfit. Genevieve was so excited about it! And the party didn't disappoint. They decorated pretty crowns. Then they had a visit from Princess Aurora. She played some games with everyone and took them on a treasure hunt. They ended with yummy cake and ice cream. It was a terrific party and Genevieve was happy to celebrate her best friend! Happy Birthday, Gracie!
I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and father, Ollie, who is busy pursuing his dream to be a doctor, a mother to a sweet, but sassy five year old girl, Genevieve, and a cuddly, but demanding two year old boy, Anson. I enjoy the outdoors, soccer, reading, musicals, hiking, snowboarding, camping, swimming, the 80's, shopping, traveling (wish I could do this more often), baking, photography, animal rights, playing cards, backgammon, sudoku, Kraft macaroni & cheese, summers in Seattle, spring in New Mexico, fall in Texas, chocolate, real conversations about politics and religion with open-minded people, family walks, the smell of coffee, sunflowers, raspberries, vegetarianism, hanging out with friends and family. Life is continuously an adventure at our house!
