Day Two of Paradise

Well off to the second day of sun and eating! First thing of course is food. We went straight to breakfast! Most important meal of the day, especially when it is an included buffet.

Baga was just excited to spend another day with the wild little munchkins.

After breakfast we headed to the beach. To go to the white sand beach we had to take a trolly ride. The view was so pretty.

I know it isn't the best but is one of the only family pictures we got while we were there!

Cooper was of course back as far away from the water as he possibly could be.

Avery on the other hand wanted to walk right out there and check it out! She is definitely out little dare devil!

Notice the mountains in the background? It was so pretty!

She just loved it!

She could care less the sand was all over her and the water was crashing into her.

She even loved getting all the way into the water. This is Baga just testing her out. Then she went further out with Daddy and loved!

She was trying to get brother come and join in on the fun. But her literally just sat on a towel and watched everyone else playing. It is hilarious how different these two kiddos are!

Here is our little Lifeguard, still up where the water was nowhere close and the only sand that is on him is the sand that is on the bottom of his feet. I feel so bad I don't have as many pics of him put come on, really, there are only so many you can take of him staying in the same place. He is still a super adorable little lifeguard!

So then we went for lunch and there were animals EVERYWHERE! Cooper and Avery were so distracted they didn't really eat much. Baga might have been distracted as well. It was so neat though, especially getting to see all the monkeys.

This one was getting a little too close for comfort. He actually jumped in the chair and the lady had to scare him away. Literally, animals EVERYWHERE!

Finally, after a long day and some supper, we were back in the room ready for some rest and relaxation!

Cooper wanted to join in on the picture taking! I think he possibly takes better pictures than Baga does!

Avery loved playing in her little crib!

Cooper did as well!

We just thought we were ready for some rest and relaxation!

First Day at the Beach!

This was a few weeks ago but am hoping to get this posted as soon as I can so I can remember what all happened. Cooper loved the pool. He was so excited to play in the water again. As long as no one was splashing him :)

Cooper did jump in the pool to Daddy quite a few times. He even went under about three times and then just quit. Didn't even jump to Darin anymore after that. He is such a crazy kid. You just can't read him.

You will never know what he is thinking but he sure is the cutest thing.

Little Avery loved the water as well. She is somewhat opposite of Cooper though. She likes it on her head and loves to splash! Cooper gets very upset when she splashes him. But she just thinks it is hilarious.

Mom was enjoying herself. She was just so happy to be with Cooper. Can you tell?

Just another cute shot of our "Princess"

This is one of my favorite pictures. It isn't posed at all. Just totally candid. They are both so happy. I just love the "real" smiles.

What a precious little boy!

He was so worn out from all the swimming. He didn't even wake up for supper. But........................

then there is Avery. Who is such a trooper and does not pass up a meal. Eating is her favorite thing to do.

Day 2 pictures will be up soon so stay posted!

Familiar Faces......

We were so excited that my mom, or as Cooper calls her "Baga", got to come and visit us. I know I am a little behind on the postings but I will catch up one day. She got here on the 24th of April. We didn't tell Cooper the exact date she was coming so when he saw her walking out he was filled with excitement! And of course she didn't think the kids would be there to pick her up from the airport so when she saw Cooper she was just filled with tears!

These two were so excited to see each other and just picked up where they left off. It was like not even one day had gone by of not seeing each other. It was crazy to think it had been 

6 months of not seeing each other though.

This was the closest Cooper would even let Baga get to Avery. He didn't want Baga to hold Avery or play with her or anything. He was a little selfish on the Baga time. So Baga had to sneek a quick picture with Avery while Cooper wasn't looking.

The next morning we headed to the beach! On the way there we got to stop and walk on the bridge to see all the crocodiles. Well, Avery and I stayed on the van because she was getting her beauty rest. But Darin, Baga and Cooper got to check them out. The picture doesn't even give it justice on how HUGE these crocodiles really are.

Mom said she was very nervous holding Cooper on the bridge. Said that it looked like the crocodiles were just waiting for someone or something to fall over.

Cooper just loved getting to see them. He thought it was the neatest thing!

There will be more to come on the beach trip with Baga! We had such a great time and so many pictures it will have to be a few postings!!!!!!!!!!!

We Want to Introduce #3..........

We had an ultrasound three weeks ago and everything looks great! We are so excited the Lord has blessed us with another precious gift!

As of tomorrow I am 14 weeks! Praise the Lord!

We do ask for continued prayer for the health of the baby and for me some energy. Just knowing this is our last tri at language school so we will be pushing hard and then just all the extra walking and having two kids and a husband on top of that is pretty exhausting! But with the Lord's strength we can do anything.

I know some people are very nervous of us having the baby overseas and I know that complications can happen at anytime. We are just trusting the Lord and knowing that this child is His!

Isn't this picture wild? You can see all the little fingers and everything. Every time you have an ultrasound they do 4D and 3D for no extra charge. That is definitely different from the states! This ultrasound lasted around 30 minutes on 4D. It was so neat!

We praise you Lord and give you all the glory for this precious gift!

We do ask for you prayers during this time!
