Mexico!

In May, Bobby and I joined some friends on an incredible trip to Chacala Mexico.  We ate the most delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine, spent countless hours in the sun, and met some really fun people.


Some of the highlights:
Bobby's mohowk
Me wiping the floor with these boys during our beer pong tournament
Finding a scorpion in the bathroom
Thwarting Bobby's plan to eat aforementioned scorpion
The tortas stand.  We need tortas in America.  period. the end.

Our first anniversary

Our anniversary weekend was such an unbelievable treat.  We stayed at the Boca Resort again (like we did the night of our wedding), had some delicious meals (Chops Lobster Bar, anyone?), and re-lived our entire wedding day by watching our super hilarious wedding video.

I seriously love this boy more and more every single day.

Remember this pic?

Well here we are... one year later  : )

And we had the great idea that we'd go skydiving on our anniversary.  So we made the plans, drove all the way to Miami with so much anticipation... only to get turned away as soon as we arrived due to mechanical issues with the plane.

But we still got to enjoy the top tier of our wedding cake.  

It looked just as beautiful as it did last year.

The following week we made the trek back down to Miami... got suited up... and finally got to jump out of a plane!

I love you Mr. Duffin!  And I am so proud and pleased to be your Mrs. 

Time flies when you're married to your best friend

I can't even believe we're almost at our first anniversary!  I still remember every moment of our wedding day like it was last week.  This year has brought ups and downs (like every other relationship on the planet) but I can honestly say that the words from our wedding song still hold true...

"I love you more today than yesterday.  But not as much as tomorrow"

For our anniversary we are planning on revisiting some of the things we did on our wedding day... including digging back into our wedding cake (which has been in our freezer for a year).  I'm hoping that all of the precautions I took to lock in the freshness were successful.  But it will be a win either way, because I'll finally get all that freezer space back.  : )

Jacob is 4

We have the cutest nephew on the planet... and on Saturday we went to his birthday party and helped him celebrate turning 4 years old.

Uncle Bobby couldn't wait to show him his gift (mainly because HE wanted to play with it)

As always... they had some fun in the pool

 

Meanwhile, Rox and I showed off our fresh ink

Bouncehouse, pinata, exotic animals and of course, birthday cake.  What more could a 4 year old want?

Rox snapped these next two of Aunt Niecy being silly

And of course, everytime I see these two together I get excited for the day when Bobby and I have some cuties of our own.

Little Lia is not so little anymore

When we first got our baby girl on January 23rd, she was about 10 lbs and she loved to hide under the couch.

Now that she's almost 11 months old, she weighs in at 42 lbs and couldn't fit under the couch if she tried.  She doesn't seem to mind though.  I think she found a spot she likes even better.

Just the beginning...
