Day 4-My Birthday!!!

Yesterday was a really fun day! We relaxed in the morning and ate some yummy waffles. A few of us watched 24 that was on the other night..

Watching 24

For lunch we went to a place called The Office. It was on the beach and it was delicious! It was perfect all but the lady a couple tables away was smoking the entire time she was eating! (crazy?!) Bryson made friends with our waiter pretty quickly. It's been a lot of fun for him to speak Spanish again. Our waiter asked Bryson how he spoke Spanish, and Bryson replied that he lived in Guatemala. This then brought up the church and our waiter said he knew some Mormon people. He's gone to our church a few times but just isn't the churchy guy. He doesn't drink and do all the crap like that. He was a pretty funny guy. Any who after we ate dinner they brought Amanda and I out some cake and ice cream for our birthdays. They also have a tradition that they give free shots when it's your birthday.... I'll admit I was freaking out and I kept pointing to my stomach. They told me it was okay and it was just coke and sprite. Well, I didn't know whether to believe all of them. Bryson's new friend kept saying it was okay so I did take a drink. Swallowed a little then they poured the rest of it in my mouth. I didn't swallow and I looked at Amanda and she held it in her mouth as well. We gave each other a "it's okay" look and swallowed. I'm sure all the waiters got a kick out of forcing down a fake cocktail down two white girls. My heart rate took a little while to go down after that. Then they made us take a Mexican bite. Which means no hands or forks. While they gently shoved our faces in the cake. All of this made for a good time.

After Lunch we did a little street shopping then headed home. We went down to the beach so the guys could play some football. Lindsey joined them. The rest of us girls just enjoyed the scenery and watching our husbands attempt to run in the sand.

Day 3 in Cabo

Yesterday we took it pretty easy. Everyone was a little sunburnt and thought it would be good if we did more inside stuff today. We went to the market and looked around. We took one of the jeeps they had here and then an atv and some scooters. Since going into town was a little longer I decided to stay in the jeep. A little more safer for my growing baby! We found the cutest little shirt for our baby Akoy. We thought it would fit him perfectly because it goes with his name. For those of you who don't know, we have chosen the name Akoy to name our first son because that is what Bryson went by on his mission in an Indian village in Guatemala. Akoy means Gregory. After a little shopping we had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, which was so yummy!! Then looked around some more and came back to the house. We came back to the house and spent some time by the pool. Part of us went down to the beach to watch the sunset. We missed the best part but it was still fun! I hope you enjoy the pictures and come back later for todays adventure!

Second day of Beautiful Cabo!

After waiting for everyone to wake up (which was awhile for the Gregory family), we took a trip down to the beach. It is a quick ride on scooters. The roads are made out of cobblestone so it was a little bumpy. I hope Akoy will be okay! We took a long ride around the area and I think I just about over did it. From now on, I will be sticking to a quick ride or the car.
Here is Bryson and I at the beach the first time we came down for the day.

I thought a cartwheel might be fun.. I don't think it was such a good idea after. It was a small cartwheel though.
I worked so hard to make footprints and then there was a high tide and they were all washed away.
Bryson and I on top of a rock
Bryson playing with his sister. They all got pretty wet.

I didn't think Lindsey was getting very wet so I went down with her and boy was I wrong!

Oh well! I got a little wet!We went back up to the house and went swimming. The view from the pool is simply amazing!

Bryson and I in the hot tub.
After this we showered and got ready and then realized we were taking a second trip to the beach. I put a swim suit back on and went down with everyone and I got burned. surprise. Down at the beach the boys had fun trying to run away from each wave. It was fun to watch them. Some of the waves surprised them and were a lot bigger than normal.

Sitting on the beach. The wind was blowing like crazy!

Addi didn't really like the sand very much

Keith finally got a chance to touch the rock. It's a lot harder than it looks

Brandon's favorite movie is The Little Mermaid. He might just have to create his own club after this picture.
My fifth outfit of the day. ha.
The end of our second day! All in all we had a great second day! We had a lot of fun with trips to the beach and scooter rides. Yesterday I got a little scared after all my scooter rides and cartwheels because I didn't fill our baby move a lot but he is sure moving this morning and it makes me feel so much better! I told him he had to move a lot this whole trip so I didn't get worried! ha. I'm a dork but I don't care! I love it!

The start of Spring Break!

Friday:
Friday came and went, we celebrated Grandparents day at school and my birthday. I brought a cake from Costco to be nice, but one of my students moms brought me a cake and some flowers. So we had two costco cakes.... Luckily it was grandparents day so I decided to share the cake with everyone! After school I headed to the dealership for a bit. I saved a piece of cake for Bryson and gave my flowers to one of the guys at his work. I figured I would be out of town and it would make someones wife happy. hah.

I took Bryson's cousins fiance and now good friend Mandy to go and get some jeans. I gave her like 7 to try on and it was pretty funny. She ended up getting a really cute pair of Rock and Republics and they are adorable! Drew said she looked pretty hott in them the next day! Mission accomplished!

Saturday:
Bryson went to work for a little bit before we went to Idaho for a Murdoch, I did some laundry and did a few things to get ready to go. The family reunion was good. Everyone was helping fix up my grandparents house. A couple weeks ago the cities sewer flooded their basement. They had to redo all the floors and the walls. It looks really good. They took the wood paneling off the walls. It looks great! I thought I forgot my camera the whole trip and it was on the floor in the car. I think Bryson was a little overwhelmed, it was his first family reunion. It was fun to see the family again and then we headed back Sunday. Short trip but well worth it!

Sunday:
8:30 church.. yay! We were done early! We spent some more time with my family. My grandma gave me a blanket she crocheted. My grandma is nearly blind so it's amazing that she is still making blankets. I will treasure it forever! Bryson had to get a paper done before we went out of town. I drove home while he worked on it. We got back in time to spend a little Easter dinner with his family. After we spent time with both families it was time for packing! Bryson worked till well after midnight and passed his paper onto a cousin to pass to a friend to hand in on Monday. A lot of chaos but well worth it! We got a couple hours of sleep before we had to wake up again.

Monday: Cabo!
We woke up and finished packing and last minute things. Everything at the airport went pretty well. Brysons brother had to run back to the car to get his glasses. The plane was about to leave but Brandon barely made it. We had a layover in Denver, then got back on the same plane and went to Cabo! It is beautiful!! We are staying in Bryson's uncles house and it is amazing! There are so many rooms and everything looks simply amazing. We went grocery shopping and Addi (after a long day with no sleep) was out cold. Brandon moved her body and it looked like she was chilling in her stroller. Then after she woke up, she loved pushing the cart. I have a few pictures. We watched a movie and enjoyed our first day! I know this week is going to be a blast!!
We haven't taken a lot of pictures yet but here are a few.
