Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We have already visited two pumpkin patches this year. Gavin is at an age where he doesn't stay still for a minute, so getting a "decent fall picture" was nearly impossible. We went to a great little pumpkin patch in Devine, Texas. It was super cute. They had a petting zoo, hayrides, marshmallow roasting, catch and release fishing and great food. My mom and step dad went with us and we all had a blast.

Introducing....Gavin "the bruiser" Ramos

Well,it was bound to happen. Gavin has gotten his first black eye. Oh, and throw a couple of stitches in there too. It happened in a split second right in front of our eyes, or I should say my mom's eyes. She was playing with him and he missed his step and ran face first into the coffee table. We went to the ER and he had to get two stitches. It was pretty traumatic for us all, but we survived. Boys will be boys!

Cabo Wabo Baby!!!!

The 30th birthday trip to Cabo was a success! We had a great time with a few minor bumps along the way. I want to start by first thanking my wonderful dad and stepmom for the trip. We used their time share condo and they gave us the plane tickets as a wedding gift. Thanks guys, you're the best and we couldn't be luckier to have you in our lives.

We left on Wednesday afternoon and after a delay in SA, running for the gate in Dallas, a hungry flight to Mexico we arrived to find out that our luggage didn't make the connection in Dallas. We were bummed, but made the most of it. Lukily our family had already been there so we could borrow the things we needed. I also decided to carry on my bathing suit at the last minute so I was set for the following day since our luggage didn't arrive until the afternoon. We stayed at Pueblo Bonito, Sunset Beach. It was absolutely beautiful. The resort had 5 pools, gift shops, a spa, and 6 restaurants. We spent the first day at the pool and after one too many tequila shots I fell asleep a wee bit early ;) The next day we headed into town and visited Cabo Wabo and did some shopping. Our last day in Mexico was full of excitement. Gabriel and I parasailed over the ocean. It was so beautiful. Don't get me wrong, it was scary, but worth it. We also took a jet ski out to a small island. We sipped some drinks on the beach and then had a nice sushi dinner in our room.

The trip was short, but so much fun. We are already planning our next one. Enjoy the pics!

Rosy, Rosy, Roseola!

I am writing this post almost 5 weeks after my last post titled "Germs, germs, germs" and would you believe we still have those germs. The hand, foot, mouth thing turned into a sinus infection, which then turned into the croup, which is now roseola. I know what you're thinking, what in the heck is roseola? Here is how it started...Gabriel and I left last Wednesday for our trip to Cabo. Gavin was fine, but still fighting a stuffy nose (allergies). We came home on Sunday to find out he had been running a high fever most of the day. After a call to ask a nurse she assured us that taking him to the hospital would be the worst thing to do considering all the flu stuff going around. We stuck it out and took Gavin to the doctor on Monday. Since our regular ped was booked we saw another doctor who checked Gavin for everthing including the flu. Everything came back negative so she sent us home. On Wednesday evening Gavin developed a rash of small cluster like red bumps all over his body. I thought he had eaten something and was having an allergic reaction. The next morning the bumps got worse and he didn't want to eat. Gabriel took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with roseola. Apparently the high fever is the beginning of the virus and the bumps come at the end. He is doing much better today. The bumps are fading and he got his appetite back.

On a lighter note, we had a fabulous trip to Cabo San Lucas. I have so many pictures that I will post soon. I am still tring to get the hang of this "working mom" thing so the blog has been put on the back burner. I am slowly getting back into it. Until then, happy Friday!
