Heeeelllooooo Mexico!!!! 2008













This year I was less than patriotic as I jumped the boarder southward for the 4th of July. These pictures speak for themselves as I played with my favorite little sister Nat, her hubby Matt, new friends from Vegas and Krystal from San Jorge (St. George).

Mazatlan 2008









For those of you that know me, you know I am HUGE on keeping a journal and documenting life's adventures....Well, unlike me, I found myself unprepared a day or two into my Mazatlan stay as I was quickly running out of journal space capturing all my adventures down there. So I conned Krystal into what we thought would be a nice active 2 mile jaunt to the local Wally World (a.k.a. Wal-Mart). 10 miles and several dozen "Thee Official" Sr. Frog Retail Store's later we found Wal-mart...you can see Krystal's excitement in the photo.





Good news was they carried journals...bad news was they were all "Girly" which, again, anyone that know's me knows that is NOT my style. Oh well, I picked the least "girly" one as possible--a blue one, despite the large unavoidable regrettably PINK flower smack dab in the middle of the cover. You can see my less-than-excitement over the grand selection I had to choose from.

Nat's Party Pinata


Here are the nephews all foaming at the mouth either for the candy that is about to fly or for their turn at whacking this little crate paper burrow.

Nat Phat Rat's B-day Fiesta! Eye-Yeye-Yeye!!!

This is me with my baby sister Natalie at her 26th Birthday Fiesta (hence the Mexican headress garnished with red chilies) Happy B-day Sis!! And of course no fiesta would be complete without bashing a pinata. We even polished off the festivities with a delicious tres leches cake made by yours truly...yes ya'll read that right, I actually baked something. Thanks for Betty Crocker, sometimes miracles do happen! :)
