Hubby is officially 30, and the celebration continues...

Today was hubby's official birthday and we had TONS of fun!!!! It is hard to believe that he was only 18 years old when we first met and fall in love.

As today was the day to go back home, we needed to cease the day. After breaskfast, we started debating what to do, and the girls had their ideas of their own... Gaby wanted beach and Mia wanted pool. Mimi was just repeating what the others too were saying, so she was Ok either way.

We spent a little bit of time in the beach, and then went to the kiddie pool... After a while, we wanted to go back to the beach for some kind of water sport, and Gaby wanted to stay in the pool... Kids 5 and above are allowed to stay in the kids club, and the same nanny from last night was there, so I decided to leave Gaby for a bit... We spent some time with the two little ones and it was fun.



Hubby even got to snorkel for a while:

Then, we find out about the water sports and decided to go into a motorized boat... They told us that only two kids were allowed, so we were going to go only with Mia and Mimi, but then I begged the man, and he told me that it was Ok to have 3 kids as they were so small... So, I ran, picked Gaby up and she was thrilled when I told her that we were going to get on a boat... Here we are ready to go around:

The guy assured us that we didnt need life jackets cause the boat was very safe... Hubby (who is the expert on the subject) agreed, so off we go and we were all having fun:


Camila was not having a blast, but she was Ok.. Here she is after a wave that got her wet....

This is the view of the resort we were staying at:

After around 20 minutes, Mimi was out:

Five minutes after that, Mia was out:

Then we went to one of the regular pools, and we had a blast...

While getting ready to leave to have lunch, I decided to try on Mia one of the swimming diapers I got for Mimi in Kelly's Closet... I was surprised to see that IT FITS her!! Of course, I had to snap a photo of her for a post that I need to make for the Cloth Diaper Whisperer's blog about this diapers....

Here is Gaby being funny:

Then we went to pick up the bedroom because even though we could stay around in the resort until late, we needed to do check out... So, we took everything to the car, and went back in the resort for a few more hours of fun... I dont have more photos, because I left the camera in the car... I was sooo happy to be able to take all the photos that I took and that my dad lend me his camera for the weekend!!!

Happy Birthday hubby!!!!!! We hope you never forget how we celebrated your 30th Birthday!!! We love you very much!!! =)

Hubby's birthday celebration continued…

As I mentioned on yesterday's post, one of hubby's gift was a weekend away with the girls and me... We went to bed at 5am, and we needed to pick up the girls before 9am at my mom's house... Needless to say, we were beat up! All the clothes were at my mom's house and I packed them all last Tuesday and her maid washed them for me... It was going to be suspicious for hubby to see beach clothes hanging and in a bag, right??

We put together a few things that needed to be done before our trip and then we left to the Coral Costa Caribe Resort. That resort is one hour away from the city, so it was just perfect for a short stay. The girls were thrilled and hubby and I were ready for our first family trip to a resort since we we became a family of five.

We got there, checked it, settle in the room, and got ready to have some fun!

The first stop was having lunch, as it was already available and decided it was better to eat now and then just leave to have non-stop fun... As always Mimi ate like there was no tomorrow:

After Gaby and Mia were done, they started playing around the table while hubby and I finished eating:

They even got ice cream and were allowed to make a mess:

Mimi just being cute in the table:

Then we were ready to explore! We walked around a bit to get to know the hotel and to let the girls do digest the food a bit... Then we headed to the beach....

As soon as Mimi touch the sand, she was in heaven:

Mimi playing more in the sand... Notice Hubby and Gaby already in the water... Check out Mimi's cloth swiming diaper I got from Kelly's Closet.

Then Mimi got in the water with hubby:

Mimi and Mia playing in the sand... As always, Mia stayed in the sand...

Gaby spent ALL the time collecting shells and cute rocks.. She has officially started a collecting (but that is another post):

Mimi kissing daddy... I have yet to meet another kid that likes to kiss more than Mimi!!

The Flowers in the kiddie pool after we FINALLY convinced Mia to get in:

Gaby and Mia playing:

Looking at the fishes and turtles...

Walking around some more....

Playing MiniGolf:

Mimi was in her stroller while we played MiniGolf:

Hubby and I played a bit of basketball.. We have no photos of it, but it was really fun.. We ended up with a tie, but we sure need to play again with sneakers and not with Crocs.... Here are the girls back in the room: My 3 Blooming Buds.....

At around 9:00pm, we went back to the room, and the girls took a shower.. Just a few minutes later they were down one by one!!! It was beautiful!! We were suppose to have a nanny over at 11pm, but I called her to ask her to come at 10pm instead. She got there, and we got to see the show...

Then, we around around and waited for hubby to officially turn 30 under the moon! We stopped by the snack area, we played in the Casino, and made the money to pay the nanny (woohoo), and hubby even played a bit of video games.. LOL... We really wanted to play pool but it was impossible to get a free table.... Here is how my 30 years old hubby looks like:
We got an awesome time and it was another very nice kidless night... We promise to have at least one night out every month from now on!

Off to the beach!!

We got a day pass from Barcelo Talanquera Beach Resort, and we REALLY had a great time!!! We first went to the beach, which was Mimi's first time, and she loved the sand and the water.... Then we ate, and then we went to the pool. While on the pool we were taking turns to play volley, while one of the adults was taking care of the girls.... It was really a great day!!!

Pictures will tell:


We havent been much to the beach lately, so Mia kinda didnt remember about it, and it was like a first time to her.... It took her a bit to get use to the sand, but she was in love with it!!



Gaby loves to be burried by her father....

Mimi couldnt be happier with the sand!!!




Mimi was dead after we ate...

Hubby getting the girls ready to get in!!



Mimi was in love with Cara's water bottle!!

At night, and after the girls went off to bed, we stayed up and played some Monopoly!! Cara beat us up as she managed to buy the two most expensive properties and put a bunch of houses!! We ate tons of junk food (nachos and dipping), but at least we were having water instead of something else!!
