Luna's Close Up

In February Luna had her 30 seconds of fame. :)  My photographer friend here in PV, Elizabeth Lloyd grabbed some really amazing photos of Luna and I.  Here are just a few of my favorites.  You'll have to excuse me because there are a LOT a LOT of favorites.  :)  We went down to the river as I know that Luna would kind of freak out going to the beach as she has never been there.  She enjoyed every single second of being in a new place, smelling new smells and hearing new sounds.  Beth was able to really capture Luna in all her glory.  It's going to be sooo hard choosing which ones to get printed. 

And for just another touch of Mexico.  We have youngters playing in the river.  Gosh I love it here!!

That's My Luna!

*** This has been in my draft folder for a while now because of the video.  I've been able to record another video to see if this one works. ***

Ok, so I'm going to go totally out of order here, but I have to share this amusement with all of you. You see I try to bring Luna to the office with me 2-3 times a week because she needs to release some of her bottled up energy and playing with Joe and Luna seem to help her behavior issues. And honestly, poor thing needs to get out once a while. So today I brought her to work with me and while I'm working away on a project for an upcoming event I captured the video moment that so speaks Luna & Camila. Luna being crazy and energetic and Camila just relaxing and playing along as long as she doesn't have to get up. Love them both. Will someone PLEASE let me know when this energizer of a bunny stage will subside. :) heehee

Enjoy!! (please excuse some of the full on butt shots of Luna, but I knew if I would move they would stop playing)

And while watching Sophia this week (UPDATE - this was written while little Jacob was being born) Luna was staying at the Vargas residence with me. Here are some other photos that were captured of the puppies hangin out with me while working and while Soph and I were hanging out.


This picture is priceless. Joe doesn't care too (TOOOOO) much for Luna because she is just a little to hyper for Joe. But to see them in close proximity like this is basically a gift for me!!!



Luna doing something I wish I could have been doing...Sunbathing!!!



Stay tuned for more updates soon!

DEEP Apologies!! - Christmas 2010 - PV Style

Hello my blogger friends and family!

I know...it's been far too long since a blog post. So today as I sit here at home thinking about my nightly plans I thought it was ABOUT TIME to post some updates. So, please bare with me as I go through the last couple of months of life and post some updates for you all.

We'll first start with Christmas 2010 - Puerto Vallarta Style! I really enjoyed getting my apartment all decorated for the Holidays this year. Last year I didn't put hardly anything up as I thought I was going to have an eye surgery done, but that was pushed until February. Nonetheless, I digress to what fun it was this year.

The Christmas Decorations - Puerto Vallarta Style

*** Just a note - this was my very first Christmas Ornament. Who knew that 37 years later that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook! :)

Next post will be Christmas inWI with family and friends!!!

Thanksgiving 2010

We weren't able to celebrate on Thanksgiving because Kristin and I had a food tasting with a couple that was in town for their April 2011 wedding. We celebrated on Friday with friends and it was soo much fun! Still the same feeling of eating too much and enjoying family and friends for the evening.


I'll let the pictures tell the story.

After dessert, we all rested our bellies and then we cracked out the Wii! Watch out family, I have practiced my bowling skills yet again for the annual Christmas tournament! :)

The girls thought it was soo much fun to cheer on Eduardo!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving Everyone!

2010 Halloween Events

This year Halloween was soo much fun! I really didn't plan on a costume for the "adult" part of the weekend, but with the help of my creatively talented cousin we were able to throw something together really fast! Literally - two hours and it was DONE! I had the "face" planned. I bought false eyelashes and some glitter details to add to my face. It was fun pulling the details together and I was really looking forward to hanging out with my friends and having a FIRST adult halloween experience in Vallarta!

Here's how the night played out! First, some assistance from my family pulling the details of the "costume" together.

My gal pals - Marisol and Andrea!!

Even the spider (he was the mascot for the evening) was thirsty!

The evening after we celebrated and went trick or treating! This year we tried out the Boardwalk in the Marina. SOOOO much more enjoyable this year! You could walk and didn't feel like you were going to get trampled by anyone!

We met up with Doryan, Nesto, Melany and Chloe.

This is where the rich people store their fancy boats....

Soph's costume turned out sooo cute!!

She finally got excited!!!

Some other children came out a bit later!

Pablo, Kristin and Baby #2:

The whole group:

Look at what I bought!! (haahaa - only in my dreams) - BUT, I did put it on my list for Santa!

We found a pretty cool restaurant to grab a quick bite!

And to wrap up this blog post a quick video of Sophia on her Halloween!
