Mexico!

 Our family in Mexico
 Noe's Grandma with the kids
 Noe's mom's uncle and family in Autlan
 Talitha climed the tree across from Grandma's house.  Grandma used the leaves on this tree to make a tea when Noe's aunt's tummy was upset.

 Grandma also makes tea from long cinnamon branches...Yummy!
We walk every day to the plaza and to the park and just to walk walk walk.
 There are horses everywhere.  every morning we see people riding their horses to go work and later in the day they come home.  People ride horses everywhere!

 Talitha let her cousins braid her hair every day






 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 front of Grandma's house.  She has logs out front for travelers and guests to take a rest

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.
Our cousin and little cousin

Gonna Keep My Blog

Ok, I thought long and serious about deleting my blog and I even tried once unsuccessfully but I have decided to keep it up.  It's the only place I know that my photos will stay in an album all together.  I don't have to worry that if my back up drive or computer go kaput that all my photos will vanish too.  I can't use this as an excuse to not print my pictures and create photo albums, but at least it will be one collection of our family photos I know that can not be destroyed. 

So.... look for new pictures to come~
