Walking around our neighborhood










Fun Photos

 Took Talitha roller skating for the first time with a bunch of our friends!  We rented this walker with wheels and Talitha did AWESOME!!

 Yes, my girls like to touch slugs.  If you ask Talitha what her favorite animals are she will tell you SLUGS, SNAILS, WORMS, SQUIDS, ELEPHANTS, AND HIPPOPOTAMUS.

Anniversary Beach Day

 We took the girls to Alkai for our anniversary family fun day.  Of course I was to nervous to hand anyone my camera so I didn't get any family photos.  But our kids are sure cute!!

 Talitha helped wash dishes.  This is a cement sink.  It has a basin on the Left for clean water then a wash board in the center where Talitha is for laundry and rinsing dishes and then another deep basin on the right.

The tortillas at this restaurant were bigger than my head
 Talitha loves her little baby cousin so much~
 It rained really hard a couple days for only about an hour then it was hot again.  This is the center of Grandma's house.  Talitha calls the houses in Mexico Inside Outside houses because they have a front room then in the center of the house is an open courtyard for the breeze to come in and then the second part of the house with rooms.  The bath room and wash area are outside.  It's such a different way of life.  We LOVE it!!
 We got to feed horses

 We made spray bottle art
 We had water bottle fights
 Walking in town



 This is our cousin Martin.  He is AMAZING.  He can't speak, but he is so smart!  He is fluent in Spanish and English.  He understands everything.  There was a tragic accident that happened when his mom was pregnant with him that left him handicap.
