Fall BBQ with our Besties!

We love Derek & Tiff. And Dys. And Jens. And Blakely. Trav's family is best friends with Derek's family and so they just grew up together. Practically family doesn't cut it, they are family. I got lucky and was adopted in when Trav and I got married. We seriously love these guys. We kind of have a standing Saturday night 'hang out' planned... Tiff & Derek are so good to have us over and this time I made sure to bring my camera to capture some of these memories. This is back in the middle of October, they had us over for a BBQ and we enjoyed summer yummy steak, salad, and twice baked potatoes. Tiff is an amazing cook... really! They spoil us and feed us all the time. Oh and Taiya loves being around the kids... Jensyn is like her 2nd little mommy. It's so cute to watch. Even Dys watches out for her. Love this family...

Cancun 2010

Travis and I ended up taking an unexpected trip to Cancun at the end of September. We had been planning on going around our anniversary in February but found ridiculously cheap vacation packages and so we decided to just go for it! We saw the Riu Palace when we were in Cancun on our honeymoon and decided that when we went back we were going to stay there. We seriously spent all of our time relaxing on the beach and in the pool, drinking strawberry pina colada's, and eating way way too much food since it was all-inclusive! Other than to sleep, I pretty much lived in my swimsuit.. never know when you might want to go jump in the water.We had a great time, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

We went to Carlos & Charlie's on our honeymoon, and so we had to come back!

Travis was so sick of me taking pictures... so he started ignoring the camera.. ha.

Mmmm... yummy carmel and pralines goodness. Our favorite.

Travis's favorite thing about the hotel. I can't even count how many he had per day!

My favorite spot to layout and read! I could be found in this same spot pretty much all week.

Strawberry Pina Colada... Heavenly.

Swing Swing Swing {September 2010}


My mom got Taiya a baby swing for their swing set and she LOVES it. The second we pull up to my parents she points to the swing and cries until someone takes her to the swing set. We had to take a family snap shot for some family history thing and so we did it in the backyard. Of course Taiya saw the swing and so I had to snap a couple cute pics of our happy little babe...
