Mexican Fiesta

Last night our friends threw a Mexican Fiesta at their house. As part of the party, they decided to hold a contest to see who had the best Mexican outfit. While everyone didn't dress up for the party, here is a picture of some of us who did.

Living in Mesa, Ryan and I had plenty of resources to do some in-depth research as to what the modern-day hispanic really wears. People were pretty shocked at how "authentic" I really looked. The pictures really don't do my whole "look" justice, but I guess it pays to look multiracial!

Me & Celeste

On our way to the party we had to stop by El Pollo Loco" to get some beans. It was so embarrassing having to walk in the restaurant dressed like we were. The sad thing is that I don't think anyone realized that we were "dressed up." (That is, until I started talking and didn't have any accent.)


The night was full of Pinata's, great Mexican food, and people trying all kinds of weird treats they thought would be a good addition to the party!



Once again, thanks for the great time Devyn and Celeste! You know how to throw a rockin' fiesta! Just let us know when you're throwing the asian-themed party and I'll be sure to look "authentic."

Scorpion Hunting

Last night we had a fun night hanging out with some of our friends. One of the highlights of the night was getting to go scorpion hunting. For those of you who are new to scorpion hunting like we are, apparently, you take a black light outside and look for scorpions. The black light makes the scorpions glow in the dark so they're easy to find. As you can see from the pics, our friends are veteran hunters with a variety scorpion hunting "equipment." We can only hope to one day become the experienced scorpion hunters that they are.

Cruise - Day 4

On the 4th day of the cruise, we were in Ensenada, Mexico. We rented an ATV and some off-road vehicles and went to the sand dunes. After the dunes we went into the town and did some shopping.



Leave it to my dad to get his buggy stuck in the sand.


At one point in our shopping excursion we lost track of my dad. When we rounded a corner, we found him getting his shoes shined. It was pretty funny watching him get his shoes shined but I will say that his shoes have never looked so shiny.


Overall, the trip was a blast!! The only downside was that Adrienne and Rob couldn't be with us. Hopefully next time we'll have the WHOLE family! Thank you mom and dad for taking us on this awesome vacation!

Cruise - Day 3

On day 3 we were on Catalina Island. The boys played a round of golf while my mom and I went shopping. Ryan won the game of golf and has made sure that the other boys don't forget it.
