Mothers Day.

 My boys brought me breakfast in bed ... then jumped in bed to eat it with me!  Bodie fed me strawberries.

Mother's Day 2012.

Bodie 15 months | Mom | Truman 3 years old

Truman made this in nursery for me.  Tonight his prayers sounds like this:

"Dear Father"

"Thanks for mom"

"Thanks for books"

"Thanks for balls"

"Amen"

The other day in the car he said:

"Mom, today I saw your mom and grandmas house"

Good-bye Mexico.

Good-bye Mexico | we had a blast

 And a big thank you to both our parents for juggling our kids so that this trip could be possible.

Sights.

Fajita Republic.

 Fajita Republic was highly recommended to us by both Tiffany and Aaron and Todd and Tana.  It was amazing, probably one of the best restaurants I have ever been to - and of course, the ambiance was so cute. 

 The salsa tasted so similar like my uncle Joel's homemade salsa that I can never get enough of.

 I don't remember that last time I was so "stuffed"

Amazing.

Relaxing.

 Yes!  We worked out.  It felt really good to workout, layout and then eat out {!!!}

 There is something about orange Fanta and a foreign country, they go so well together.

We read to our hearts content.  The only book in this pile that didn't get read was John Grisham's "The Confession" and we both read "In Pursuit of Elegance: why the best ideas have something missing"  It is a business book that my dad thought I would like.  It has been on my shelf for over a year so I threw it in. I loved it so much I had Gregg read it.  He is now having my mom read it and then it is off to Connecticut for my sister-in-law to read.  

Bill O'Riley's new book "Killing Lincoln" was also in the pile to take but Gregg grabbed it and read it in the two days before we left.  He said it read like a history book.  

 Tonight we went back to Bucerias to try one of the many good-looking restaurants we saw there.  We decided on this Italian restaurant and it did not disappoint.

The ambiance was the best.

 I first learned about gnocchi on a tirp to Italy ... so good.

 Gregg and I pride ourselves in our homemade margarita pizzas so every change we get we order one to compare.  Although this one was good and very similar to what a pizza in Italy is really like, we like ours better!

Surfing.

 We decided to take surf lessons while in Mexico.  We found a cute surf shop when we were in Bucerias earlier in the week so we signed up then.  Because it is "off" season for tourist right now we ended up with private lessons.  Two teachers and the two of us.  Awesome!

They took this picture and emailed it to us - stretching so we don't kill ourselves.  I like that I am stretching with the surf board already attached to my ankle.  I already look like I don't know what I am doing.

Gregg was a pro.  Are we surprised?  Nope.  Let me just brag about him for a minute.  He is very talented and can do almost anything he tries.  We both had a really good time.

  The first beach we went to had no waves.  We ended up going to a 'locals only' beach that was beautiful and had no one in sight.  There was a guard just off the road behind a fence.  You had to prove you were a local and have your surf board in hand to get past him.  It was about a 15 minute walk down a dirt road to the ocean.  We felt kind of cool going there with our instructors.

I didn't know I married a surfer from Ft. Collins, Colorado.

Here is another picture they took and emailed us.  Kind of cool, both of us riding the same wave.

The waves were about 4 feet tall a perfect size for learning on.  They felt big as they came rolling up behind us but they didn't completely wash us away when we fell over in them {that was my biggest fear of surfing was that feeling of being swirled around in the ocean when you fall in a wave - I hate that feeling}.

 Any real surfer would laugh at this picture ... our "beginner" boards were HUGE!  But they made it easy and fun to learn.  I had a really good time {I was really nervous about trying to surf} and was able to 'ride' a few waves!

For lunch they did a BBQ on the beach for us - so cool!  And so yummy.  After lunch it was back to surfing.
