family vacation

Kevin and I, along with the kids and Grandpa & Grandma Hammen went to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. Kevin and I met in Puerto Peñasco 7 years ago and got married there 5 years ago. Going back was a wonderful way to celebrate our 5th year anniversary. Here are some pictures from our stay ( June 10-13th)

Our attempts at making a sand castle.Quickly washed away by the incoming tide.

I'm not sure what Caelum enjoyed more,
eating the sand or the licking the salt water off of his beach toys.
Our first dinner included appetizers featuring fresh local foods,
crab stuffed mushroom
and a sampler platter of shrimp.
Amazing view from our table.

or Grandma's favorite, Sea Critters!
After 40 minutes of walking, we finally made it to Max's Cafe for some omelets and orange juice.
Pool Time!

Caelum's excited to see grandpa sitting a few rows behind us on the plane.

How big is Caelum?

So Big!

This little man has been keeping us busy as he cruises around with support of furniture and toys. This week we also learned he can stand solo.

I need a bath

Hair Cut

Caelum got a first hair cut. He watched every move the stylist made and did not complain once.

Elaphant

We recently took the kids to a small Shrine Circus in West Bend. Ember requested to ride the elephant, this, coming from the girl who was afraid to ride the ponies at the Zoo. Ember loved it!

Ember & Caelum's Restaurant

Ember is the waitress setting the table and Caelum is our little chef.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day turned out to be such a beautiful day, we were able to spent the entire morning playing outside in our three season room, followed by the park.

Rrraaaarr, I'm a dinosaur.

Happy Mother's Day
