We are back from Isla Mujeres and better than ever. Happy 5 year anniversary baby! Crazy how a nice relaxing adult vacation can rejuvenate your mind and body - not to mention add a pretty tan to some much needed white skin :) Jackson & I had a GREAT time - we danced, we drank, we ate, Jackson barfed the last night, I was up all night first night there with nausea, but we did fly first class on the way home -thank you Jackson for flying so much and getting upgrades! Let me tell you, there is nothing like laying on the most perfect white sand beach, dozing on and off, having your wonderful husband ask "I'm walking up to the beach-bar babe can I get you anything?" and then dipping into the absolute most wonderful water when your little body gets too hot. Making you jealous yet? You should be - take a look at these photos of the heaven we were in for four days!!!
Liam stayed here in Texas with his Mimsy - he had SUCH a blast. He's still talking about his time with Mimsy! Guess I need to step up my momma game because he thinks Mimsy is WAY cooler than mom. He's already talking about his plane trip next week to get to go see Mimsy, G-Ma, and Aunt Sissy. I guess home, Mom & Dad are stewed peas!!! Liam was not happy when Mimsy left - he very much wanted to get on the plane with her. What a special time for him - great memories and wonderful stories he's telling us!!
One visitor that came and stayed is Bob - let me introduce our newest family member courtesy of Mimsy (remember in an earlier post my mentioning that Liam was convinced Mimsy had a lizard and was bringing it to show?? She did...). This is Bob - the Chinese Water Dragon. Now don't let his little size now fool you - he will be 3 feet long full grown (including tail... sigh of relief but still huge) He also has a 10-20 year lifespan so Bob will be a college pet for Liam! Bob is actually pretty cool and I don't mind him one bit. He's much cleaner than Apple the frog. He's pretty docile - likes to be handled (although yesterday Bob pooped in my hand as I picked him up - guess I'm not his favorite but Liam found this episode hysterical including mommy's squeal) Now for the fun part....
Meet 45 or so of Bob's closest friends...live crickets for mealtime! Delish! He eats live crickets...every single day...until he's big and then he eats mice! Hooray!
Mom - take a look at the crickets above. I bought the KRICKET KEEPER today after I asked the pet guy for more food for Bob and he obviously saw my traumatized face. Like the toilet paper roll idea but perfectly manufactured with seals so there will be no touching of bugs by me! Worth every penny in my opinion...

No worries - you (and Gena!) are way cooler moms than me. I could never handle a lizard with such grace. But I'm so glad we're neighbors so that Evan can always visit the lizard, the frog, the dogs, the.....
