Last week was Spring Break, which is good because things can get pretty stressful in Kindergarten & Preschool so everyone needed a break. We headed south for some warm weather...sunny Mexico! Puerto Vallarta to be exact.
The boys started to trip out right...with popsicles & Pacifico. Oh the life!
By the end of day one, Nolan looked like this. Actually, this wasn't the end of the day, it was only about 5pm. We still had to get through dinner!
The boys
The next day we headed to the ocean to splash around. The kids were very excited to play in the ocean.
They had SOOOOO much fun running, jumping & splashing around in the water.
They did play in the sand a little bit...
Enough to get plenty of sand in all sorts of cracks & crevices.
Most of the time was spent in the pool but we did take a break for arts & crafts. Here is Aidyn with the dolphins she painted.
The girls
Me & my sweet peas at the pool.
Anytime Nolan was out of the pool, he needed to be wrapped in a towel or else he was freezing. Never mind that it was in the 80's the whole week we were there!
More fun in the ocean...
Here we are at dinner the last night of our trip.
Our last sunset. Beautiful!

He got lots of very nice gifts. Thanks everyone!
Here's our handsome 4 year old with his new Twins cap on. It will come in handy at that fancy new outdoor stadium next summer. Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate with us!
Snip, snip, snip...
Look at that gorgeous hair!!
And look at that adorable little girl! (Can you tell I'm just a little proud?!?!)
He had a fun day including his special request to have his buddy Hudson come over and play.
We went out for dinner tonight and Nolan's request was The Green Mill so he could have Mac-n-Cheese pizza. Yum!! When we got home it was time to open his presents.
He got one present open... 
and then Sean & Shirley called...
Here he is in his new swimming trunks and muscle shirt. So cute!
Nolan seemed to take to basketball pretty quickly. He did a decent job of listening to the coach and stayed pretty focused on the game.
Of course, he's still Nolan...See this picture? It looks like he's shooting a basket, right? Except notice where he is on the court...right in the middle. So what is he doing? He just threw the basketball at Aidyn's head! Luckily he missed and it is soaring just over her head, out of the frame of this picture. Nice.
My sweet Aidyn...
Here is a shot during the game. Notice how aggressive the blue team is? Ferocious is a good word. 
Aidyn, Brendan & Nolan
