Skiing Spring Break 2013

We went to Breckenridge over spring break and met up with my parents & Jason's family.  Lots of fun dinners, skiing, swimming, shopping and visiting the children's museum.  The girls can't wait to go back!

Skiing 2013 Videos

We went skiing in Breckenridge over spring break. The girls did great skiing - here are some videos of them!

Taizley's School Party

Taizley got to bring treats to her little classroom for her birthday.  They all got to celebrate with her!

The little boy on the far right is Mason - that is the boy that

Taizley tells me she kisses at school!  Too funny!!

Preschool Circus

Talia's preschool had their annual circus.  There were lots of games, prizes, balloons, 

treats and a bounce house!  They all had a blast!

 Dressed as acrobats!

Costa Rica

Mark and I went to Costa Rica last week for an orthodontic meeting.  Neither of us had been there before and we had an amazing time!  Guanacaste is in their dry season right now, but even so it was beautiful.  I would love to go back during the rainy season and see how lush it will get!  We decided to do a few excursions which included riding on ATV trails and going zip lining.  So much fun!!  We can't wait to zip line again!

 Our resort

 The waves there are huge - perfect for surfing!

 Costa Rica sunset

All of the restaurants that we went to had their tables on the beach - so fun! 

 We got a little muddy on the ATVs

The trip back from the ATV trails 

Holla monkeys were everywhere and they did exactly that - holla as loud as they could! 

I felt like I was at home with my girls!!

This was our favorite thing there - the zip lines.  You start at the top 

of the mountain and zip your way down! 

It is hard to tell, but these lines were way above the tree line.  

We could not even see the ground it was so far away! 

 Mark looked like a pro!

This stretch was one of the longest...if you look way down the distance along the line, that little dot is me!

 One of the workers started showing off and went upside down the entire way!

So of course my crazy husband had to try it too!

To get to Costa Rica we flew over the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef near Belize.  It was huge!

It is the second largest reef in the world (it stretches over 600 miles long).

 Some of the best diving there!  It really looked amazing!

Can't wait to go back!

Talia's Funky Style

Talia has always wanted to pick her own clothes out, ever since she was little.  Most days I let her wear whatever she wants and she will put together some crazy outfits.  She can pull it off though and they are pretty cute on her!  I remind myself that she is showing her creative side and it fits her wild spirit!  She still changes several times a day and always includes several accessories :-)  Here are some of her latest ensembles.
