Good Times

This is something I dearly need...to remember good times. It makes me feel happy just thinking about all the good times I've had with such good friends.

Here are the directions....

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I have together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember...

2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave a memory for you!

Trip to Sinaloa, Mexico

We went to Sinaloa, Mexico in May. Kind of a spur of the moment trip, but one that Cuque has wanted to take for a long time. We spent about four days in Los Mochis seeing where Refugio grew up and visiting friends and relatives...and even an ex-girlfriend. Kathryn was the star everywhere we went, people couldn't get enough of her and who can blaim them...just look at her. We brought Refugio's mom, dad and younger brother back up with us and dropped them off in San Luis R.C. Which made for a very full car. The trip takes about 16hrs from San Luis becuase there are literally a million toll booths on the roads (I can't call them freeways b/c they are definetly not FREE). Hopefully our next Mexico trip will be to Guanajuato, where Refugio served his mission and I lived for a while as well.

Kathryn and Fugi in San Luis


This is a pic from San Luis, Mexico where Refugio's parents live. I just thought it was kind of cute. We go to San Luis quite often becuase it is only three hours away from Phoenix. Although if you forget to bring your documentation with you it can be a long ways away from any kind of US dirt.

The other weekend I forgot to bring Kathryn's birth certificate and my passport to San Luis, so on the way back in we got sent to the secondary revision of immigration. They finally let us go through but not without asking for some kind of proof that Kathryn was ours. Refugio said, "Look at her...doesn't she look just like her mom?!" They agreed but apparently look-alikeness is not a valid proof of citizenship. They let us go through but asked that I try not to forget documentation the next time we came down. I probably won't forget. Kathryn now has her own state ID that I carry in my wallet. It's very cute. All the people at the DMV thought it was strange that an infant was having her picture taken where most people were getting their driver's licences.

Kathryn Sleeping...Finally




Ever since Kathryn was born she hasn't been a very good day-time sleeper. She's more of a power nap girl with 20 minutes being her average and an hour a complete miracle. And falling asleep without nursing or riding in the car is almost unheard of. However, lately she has been falling asleep in some rather cute places...all by herself. Check out the picks and even a little video.
