Hanging Pool Side

I meant to post these a while ago, these pics are almost three months old! One last salute to summer! I figured I better get around to it seeing how fall is just around the corner...boo! I am a summer girl, but there are a few things to look forward to about fall approaching: Halloween, gorgeous leaves that make awesome photography, and Thanksgiving! Everything seems more exciting this year seeing how it is Rachel's first everything! Rachel is growing up so fast, she is already starting to pull up on furniture and anybody who has legs nearby, almost ready to WALK! Umm...when did MY BABY turn into a toddler?? How cute is our little one just chillin' in the pool! LOVE IT, she is so dang cute! I always love going to my hometown of Vernal and visiting. My mom has this AMAZING yard that Rachel loves to explore! Considering our front yard consists of busy streets, it's a nice change! Here are a few of my favorites!

Rachel knows how to work it...when she smiles or laughs and crinkles that little nose...her dad and I are ready to give her just about anything she wants!

Rachel with her grandma (my mom)! Good buddies! I need to get some pictures of her with her grandma Moss, she was gracious enough to watch Rachel while we went on our cruise, and I think Rachel developed a new best friend while we were gone!

Baja Mexico!

Wow! What a trip! SOO much fun! A few words to describe our trip would be:
FREEDOM
Missing Rachel
Staying up past 11pm
Extreme FOOD POSINING...which I don't know if that qualifies as a highlight
Snorkeling
Exploring an island on a two person bike
Virgin pina coladas by the pool
Sun Burnt
Hot tubs
Eating way too much food
Sleeping in
Shopping aka: "Negotiating" prices in Mexico
Remembering how much fun it is to hang out with Mike

Well that pretty much sums it up!
I actually didn't take that many photos...Hey I was on vacation! I loved the little animals they made each day in our room out of towels...each day there was always such a cute surprise waiting!



This was the view of the elevator at night in our ship...pretty impressive
