Rocky Point

About 9 years ago we decided Mexico was getting too sketchy to continue our twice a year trips to Rocky Point. Funny thing, however, is that in the past 2-3 years many of our friends who were too scared to go when we were going started actually going! A few months ago Justin and I started debating whether it was time to start going again and we were tentatively planning a trip for this October. Last week my friend Ale Ray texted and asked if we wanted to go stag with her at her mom's resort condo in Rock Point. Well that sounded even better than an October trip! So we had about 5 days to get our stuff together and we headed down. 

When we realized the awesome exchange/conversion rate at the supermarket down there (18 pesos to the dollar!) we made daily $.30 donut trips and stopped by for 3 bags of fresh flour tortillas on our way out of town. They were only $1.25 for a one kilo bag and so yummy!


We took turns staying at the condo with Polly for the first two days, but the weather was so nice we brought her down on the third day and she did well. Our kids had so much fun boogie boarding, burying themselves in the sand, and pool hopping. Brighton and Gabby got along really well, as did Adaira and Grace, Dale and Mo, and Daisy and Sam. Brighton acted so agreeable and mature this trip, I'm sure it had nothing to do with having a 12 year old girl around, haha! It was a great trip and I think we are going to have to become Rocky Point regulars again. We found an RV park down from our resort with beach front spots and bathrooms for only $20/night. Holla!
Poor Daisy either sunburned her eyeballs or was very sensitive to the pool water. She was crying in pain all evening.
We didn't have a bad view even when we stayed at the condo with Polly. Great weather, no complaining! The day Justin stayed back with her, she slept for over 4 hours!

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

 I may just be opening up myself to a bunch of judgment and criticisms with this post here but it is what it is. I've been thinking a lot about motherhood for the past few months. Most of my thinking stems from guilt I feel about my lack of mothering skills, in that I just don't seem to live for being a mom like so many other women I know. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids! But I also love my alone time, the time I have to work part time with other adults, and the time when all the kids are safely tucked in bed. Growing up I didn't dream about being a mom. I didn't like to babysit AT ALL! When it came time to start our family it really wasn't out of a longing desire to be parents (though I was excited for the new chapter in our lives), it was more about timing and that we'd been married a couple years and it just seemed like it was time to start a family. I'm not the super fun mom I always thought I would be, and my lack of "natural" capabil...
