Family vacation

This March break we took the kids to Jamaica! We went to Gran Bahia Principe runaway bay. We came to this resort 6 years ago. It's actually better than it was. We had a wonderful stay!

On the way there baby m slept on the plane, the whole way! Little K played and watched a movie.
He was Soo interested and asked a lot of questions as he looked out the window. His favorite part was landing. His eyes were glued to the window. 

The resort was beautiful and the weather was amazing! 

Our suite had a big King bed, a twin bed and a crib. We faced the pool and ocean but surrounded by Palm trees. 

We spent most our days on the beach!
And I mean days 9am-5pm some days we didn't go to the pool at all. The beach and the sun and breeze was soo relaxing.


It was a short walk to the beach but we loved the walk. Stopping for coconut water and taking in the view!
Little k would take his sweet time! 
The water is calm and great for small kids. He played in the sand for hours! 




We took some professional pics on the beach too. Cutest beach pics! 

The pool was nice and big. Both kids love the water, ocean and pool. 


I think lunch was our favorite time of the day. Ha! Delicious jerk chicken at the beach restaurant. Oh! And daily live music too! Eating lunch with a view was soo awesome. 


Breakfast was pretty good too. Better when we sat outside of the buffet. The weather was so great, we just wanted to soak it all up! 

Dinners were a little tougher with the kids because they were tired at 7pm so After dinner we would go to the lobby to relax and listen to the live band but the kids would fall asleep! The kids show was pretty late but we got to it a couple times. 

The stroller came in handy... For big boy more than baby. Ha! 


Overall it was a great vacation. Resort and staff was great. Not one complaint. The kids really enjoyed it. We all did. With 2 kids it was a little extra work getting around. We had so much fun and soaked up all the sun. But we were all ready to come back home to the calm of things. Little k would ask why we were there for 100 days haha! He totally cracked us up. Little k owned his vacation, he would stand by the shore and soak in the sun and view. Baby m hit so many milestones while we were there. Crawling and feeding himself cheerios! 

Our first family vacation as 4!

Baby M's Baptism

Sunday we celebrated a very special day! 


Baby M's baptism. Joining us in our Catholic faith.

We chose a special couple, cousins of mine to be his Godparents. We are so blessed and thankful to have them in our life and now even closer to our family. 

I loved the message our Deacon had for us. He loved seeing a church full of family and friends coming together to see their loved ones getting baptized. There were about 10 babies getting baptized Sunday. The whole church was just filled with so much love. 


That morning our family came over to dress baby M in his special outfit. 



Our tradition is That the Godparents dress him. 

His Godparents got him his first Gold necklace with a cross. Just beautiful. 


Little k was all dressed up to celebrate his little brother too! 
️adorable little navy blue suit with a vest and tie and of course starwars addidas shoes. 
Daddy and son looking great! 
The beautiful godparents! 



My beautiful family! 


It was such a fun morning! 

Baptism time! 
Our friends and family were all there to witness baby M's baptism. 






After baby M's was blessed with holy water, my husband held a candle to the alter.

It was a beautiful day. 

After the ceremony we all headed to the restsurant to celebrate! 

I'll blog about that tomorrow!

TGIF!

TGIF!! Even Little K knows what Friday means! He gets so excited and walks around the house saying its Friday!!!!!! It's frozen yogurt day at school so he really really likes Friday's ha! 

Little k loves his school. I love that they are always doing fun things throughout the winter like sledding! 


We had a little snow storm this week, just  when we thought Spring was around the corner. 

We have had such a busy week! I feel like the week flew by! 

Baby M has been fighting colds, ear infections and sore throat for 4 weeks! 

We've had some cranky days here.

At 6.5 months he is an active strong baby! Rolling around getting in crawling position even downward dog yoga position and practicing crawling forward but a master at backwards. 
He loves to eat and shows he's finished or that he doesn't want any more by spitting. I'm trying to teach him some signs like EAT and FINISHED.

 
These 2 melt my heart! 
They love eachother Soo much! 
Little K is growing up so fast! He's such a  loving big brother it's ️️adorable. 

We have a lot of errands to run today. So our day will begin early! 


Have a great weekend friends!
