PLAYING FOOTBALL

Chris is playing football. Not the football that you would think, but soccer. Some of the parents from Taylors soccer team decided to join the Adult league. His first game was this week and it was a lot of fun. He managed to not get hurt so that is a good thing! Go Shamrock Rovers!

Marbles Earned

Most of you know about Chloe and her blanket. She refused to leave the house without it and if you forgot it, you would be goin home to get it. It has patches and holes but she loves it. In an attempt to get her to leave it at home and only use it to sleep with we came up with an idea. Every time she left it at home she got a marble in a jar. When the jar was full she would get to go to Build A Bear. She did it! She is such a big girl. There were many tears cried but the blanket now stays inside and she is not quite as attached.....note the color of the bear

Costa Rica

Ok - so I am a little behind! We went to Costa Rica in February for 10 fabulous days. It was a bit of a cultural shock and first but we adjusted and had a great time. We stayed with Chris's Uncle Luis and Aunt Lenor for the first couple of days. We went to the Rain Forest and toured the city of San Jose. Then we stayed at the Marriott (near Jaco) on the beach for the rest of the trip. It was beautiful! We saw a lot of iguanas, some crocodiles, monkeys, toucan's, frogs and snakes. The beaches were mostly black sand from the volcano's.

Grandma Nayu came with us and was a big help with the girls. They stayed in and order pancakes for dinner a couple of nights so Chris and I could go out.

Chris, Taylor, Carley and I all went zip lining. There were 14 platforms so it took an hour or so but it was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time in the pool just relaxing. The best part about our trip was our PHONES DIDN'T WORK!
