PC Day 5-Tuesday

Today was a great day! Both babies woke up super happy and ready to start the day. Cesar went on a snorkeling trip with Daniel and Franklin, so the girls and I went to breakfast with Gaby and Nancy and the kids. The first thing Leah did when we sat down was throw-up all over herself, the table and the floor! Nice! So...you will notice that in the beach pictures she is wearing aunt Gaby's tank top :)

After breakfast we went to the beach.

The girls started to get a little cranky until we discovered their new favorite toy...a straw!

After lunch, we all went back to the room and took a wonderful two hour family nap!!

Leah just waking up from her nap!

We tried the mexican restaurant for dinner!

I love this one!!! Bella just loves her Daddy!

We went to dinner a little late so we ordered room service for the girls for dinner first and then they just ate dessert (rice pudding..yum) at the restaurant. This picture cracks me up because I always yell at mom (grandma) for opening her mouth like this when we eat, and now I do it with the girls :)

After dinner, Abuelita and Abuelito took all the kids and we got to have a parent's night out!! We started out with drinks at the lobby bar. It was so nice to just sit and have some adult conversation!

Then we headed to the "Disco"

Cesar and I danced for a few minutes...

But since I am not such a great dancer, he took Gaby out on the floor for a spin! They were great!

The "disco" was more like a college frat party with a bunch of drunk young white kids trying to dance to rap music :)

Cute family picture!

PC Day 4-Monday

Monday we spent the morning at the pool. Bella had kind of an off day but managed to spend some time exploring anyway. It was too windy to even attempt the beach. Around lunch/nap time, a big storm came through, so Cesar and I got to spend some fun time just hanging out together under cover in the lobby while the girls napped. Too much sun/stimulation during the day made for some very cranky babies in the afternoon and they were ready for bed at 6:30!!

Morning play-time in their pjs.

All over the resort there were different gardens with rocks in them. The girls really liked to play with them (translation=throw them all over the sidewalk so that mommy could clean them up). Here is Leah in one of the gardens.

Bella being a bit cranky. She has this new really annoying cry that she does when she is annoyed. I'll have to video tape it. She only does it when she wants attention or Leah is annoying her, so it is pretty funny!

This is pretty much how the girls spent their pool time. They didn't love being in the water, but they had a lot of fun sticking their hands and feet in and splashing water all over.

Playing with my girlies

Bella stole a piece of pineapple out of someones drink and would not give it up. It even cut her lip because she chewed on it so long, but she cried (with her new annoying cry) every time I tried to take it away.

Leah and Daddy

Our little Family

Daddy and his girls

Love Bella's face here

Our nightly bath routine. Cesar gave them their bath every night. They loved sitting in the shower. Unfortunately, one night Bella sliced her finger on the drain, so we had to cut shower time short after that :(

I LOVE this sweet picture of Abuelita and Leah. She was being so cute and just enjoying time with her Grandma!

PC Day 3-Sunday

Sunday we spent the day running back and forth between the pool and the lobby (covered areas). It was way too windy to take the girls to the beach and it there were little rain storms every hour or so. They only lasted 15 minutes or so, and it was a nice break from the pool, so we didn't mind.

By Sunday, we pretty much had adopted a new schedule for the girls. We would get up around 5:30 and play in the room for an hour or so. Then, the girls and I would go downstairs and walk around while Daddy slept a little longer. I loved those times with my girlies! The would just walk around and explore all kinds of things. Then we would go upstairs, get Daddy and go down for breakfast. After we ate, I would put the girls in the stroller and walk them around for a while until they fell asleep for their nap!

Here the girls are playing peek-a-boo in the room before our walk.

Leah touching Bella's head for some reason.

Bella splashing in the puddles on our morning walk

Trying to climb into the fountain. Thank goodness it was just a little too high for them to climb into. They are still crazy about climbing on everything they can, so I was really grateful that we didn't have to worry about them climbing in here.

Getting ready for a nap after breakfast

And...we're asleep

Cesar having fun with Jacob and Sammy in the pool

My Leah...so sweet!

And she knows it too....

There was a big "marble" staircase in the lobby area that the girls loved playing on. Here is Bella showing off her new bathing suit.

Leah looking at Jacob

And climbing the stairs...

This is one of my favorite pictures. She looks SO big and old here. I can't believe they are getting so big!

Cesar and Daniel

Getting ready for pool time

Daddy and Bella in the pool-this part of the pool was great because it was super shallow and the girls could walk around in it.

Abuelita helping to keep the girls hydrated

After a day at the pool/beach, we would come back to the room and take showers/baths and get ready for dinner. Our room was adjoined to Nancy & Franklin's so we would usually open the door and let them roam back and forth and play while we got ready.

Here are the girls waiting to go to dinner.

Jacob.

He is so cute! He LOVES playing with the girls. We told him we were going to kidnap him and make him come live with us.

Sammy.



The family trouble maker :) Apparently he is JUST like Cesar at that age. Why does that not surprise me....

James.


He has grown up so much! He is so mature and polite!! And.. he is the only one who can tell the girls apart!

Jacob...entertaining the girls at dinner.

Cute!

Me and my girls after dinner. On our way to get a box of milk and go to bed!
