Rockies Opening Day



Last year we were suppose to go to the Colorado Rockies Opening Day game, but unfortunately both Jake and Jason had the flu. This year we made it to the game, had a great time, perfect weather, and won the game!







Haircut



As most everyone knows, Jake usually gets his haircut by Mom. But for a special "treat" Jake & Dad went and had haircuts together at Sports Clips. Jake hasn't been to a barber in over a year, but surprised us and was a very good sport!


Mexico!!



In March Jason and I were lucky enough to get to go to Mexico with our great friends Taryn, Jace, & Doug! We went somewhere new this year, Zihuatanejo, and stayed in the most amazing house - honestly one of our best vacations ever! The weather was great every day and as you will see from the pics, the house was just incredible, and we even had our own personal chef who made us some of the most amazing meals, complete with homemade salsa everyday.


"Casa Alas" - such an amazing house! Website is casaalas.com


Imagine waking up to this view everyday...






On the beach at sunset


The crew - a night out in the little town of Zihuatanejo


Since the house was basically open to the outside (no doors except for the front door & bedroom doors), we also had a few "visitors" - including this tarantula, which was bigger than my hand! We also had some visits from a Coral Snake, Scorpions, and some bats inside our house.
