Mexico trip

Here are a few pictures from our family trip to Mexico. It was beautiful and we had a great time spending the week with the whole Grein family.

This was my first time to not stay at a resort in Mexico. We stayed at a house.. which was great.. we had the whole place to ourselves.

This was our view of the ocean.
Here are a few pictures of fun in the pool. Luke loved it!! The water was a bit chilly in the mornings.. but he didn't mind a bit.
Another view of the pool and cabana area.


I had to hold Luke up most of the time, because he kept wanting to drink the pool water.

He loved jumping off the side! (With me holding him of course)
Look at that hair! We decided not to cut it until we got home.. which was a good idea, cause it acted as a hat for him. :)
He didn't really want to be in this float much. He liked being held much better. We'd just swim around with him and tell him to kick his feet... and it was so cute, he kicked like a little frog.
We made it down to the beach one day.. and Jared, Luke and I didn't stay as long as the rest of the family. Luke wanted to run around of course, but kept falling and getting sand and saltwater in his face. Plus he wouldn't keep his hat on, so I worried about him getting too much sun. Man, taking a one year old to the beach just isn't really that much fun. :)Nice family time on the patio. Mornings were really nice out there. There were always lots of pretty birds flying around.

Here's Pepaw trying to work some energy off of Luke. We would use these chairs to block him in from going down the steps or into the pool.
Luke's cousin, James, kissing his "guns". :)
Here's another area that we would block off. After a few days, he realized he could take the top off of this side table, and then he would climb on top of it and just sit.Here's daddy on duty.
Our view looking down at the beach.

First Haircut!

Luke finally experienced his first haircut... and he needed it! He wasn't very happy about it all, but the end result was soo much better.
Here he is afterwards on Pepaws motorcycle. He's happy now... but you can see how unhappy he was during the haircut...
Here he is with Orlando, which is the same person who gave Jared his first haircut... had to keep the tradition. :) He's happy now that it's over...
But here he is during the whole thing... :( Poor little guy.
