The Perfect Getaway!

When Katie told me that her grandparents invited us to spend the weekend with them in their house in Mexico, I was beyond excited. In case you don't know by now, it's my favorite place and there is no vacation place in the whole world that you could offer me instead...this is my idea of a perfect vacation!
The timing couldn't have been better, a weekend after our Show-Week, which translates to many many hours of work and me in major need of a break!
Since we were off on Friday, we drove down on Thursday night and even though it was late and dark when we arrived, the moment I stepped onto the patio and smelled the ocean and heard the waves crashing, I felt relaxed and totally peaceful. I had arrived.

Als Katie mir erzaehlte, dass ihre Großeltern uns eingeladen hatten, das Wochenende mit ihnen in ihrem Haus in Mexiko zu verbringen, habe ich mich unglaublich gefreut. Falls ihr es mittlweile noch nicht rausgehoert habt, es ist mein Lieblingsplatz und es gibt keinen Urlaub auf der ganzen Welt, den ihr mir stattdessen anbieten könntet... dies ist meine Vorstellung von einem perfekten Urlaub!
Das Timing haette nicht besser sein können, ein Wochenende nach unserer Show-Woche, was viele, viele Ueberstunden bedeutet und ich konnte einen Mini-Urlaub gut gebrauchen!
Da wir Freitags auch frei hatten fuhren wir Donnerstag nach der Arbeit runter, und obwohl es schon spaet und dunkel war als wir ankamen, der Augenblick, als ich auf die Terrasse trat und das Meer roch und die Wellen rauschen hoerte, fuehlte ich mich entspannt und voellig friedlich. Ich war angekommen.
Friday morning we took a walk on the beach with Katie's grandparents, I love this picture of them so much! So sweet.

Freitag morgen haben wir mit Katie Grosseltern einen Spaziergang am Strand gemacht, ich liebe dieses Foto von ihnen! So suess.
Katie's only wish for this trip was to go into town to buy some fresh shrimp to eat that night, I don't eat any seafood, but she said it was one of the best dinners she's ever had!

Katies einziger Wunsch fuer diese Reise war in die Stadt zu gehen, um frische Garnelen fuers Abendessen zu kaufen, ich esse keinen Fisch, aber sie sagte es war eines der besten Abendessen, was sie je hatte!



My only wish for the trip was to sit on the patio, stare at the ocean and do nothing. 
Well, almost nothing...I did a lot of this:

Mein einziger Wunsch für die Reise war auf der Terrasse sitzen, auf das Meer zu starren und nichts zu tun.
Na ja, fast nichts... Ich habe dies hier viel getan:

We found all kind of things on the beach, like these crab claws or huge dead fish and even a washed up sea lion, which was really sad and pretty gross too.

Wir fanden alle moeglichen Dinge am Strand, wie diese Krabben Scheren (nennt man das so?) oder riesige tote Fische und sogar einen angeschwemmten Seeloewen, was wirklich traurig und ziemlich ekelig war.
Apparently not gross enough for me to not pick up the tail bone and pose for a picture...shame on me!

Offensichtlich nicht ekelig genug fuer mich, was mich davon abgehalten haette mit dem Knochen der Schwanzflosse fuer ein Foto zu posieren ... Schande ueber mich!
Her favorite dinner!

Ihr Lieblings- Abendessen!

The sunsets were gorgeous.

Die Sonnenuntergaenge waren atemberaubend.

It was also Katie's 27th birthday and we celebrated in a restaurant on a mountain where we could see the lights of the city and watched fireworks. 



Es war ausserdem Katies 27. Geburtstag und wir feierten in einem Restaurant auf einem Berg, wo wir die Lichter der Stadt sehen konnte, und uns ein Feuerwerk angeschaut haben.

Happy Birthday Katie!
I remember when I was 27 and she would call me an "old lady", well...welcome to the old ladies club!

Happy Birthday Katie!
Ich erinnere mich noch daran, als ich 27 war und sie mich eine "alte Dame" nannte, also dann... willkommen im Club der alten Damen!
It was an awesome weekend with lots of nothingness, playing games, taking walks and relaxing and I loved spending it with family!
I can't wait to go back!

Es war ein unvergessliches Wochenende mit viel Nichtstun, Karten spielen, Spaziergaengen und Entspannen, und ich liebte es, es mit der Familie zu verbringen!
Ich kann es kaum erwarten, wieder hinzufahren!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
