Erik and Diways wedding - Mexico

Went with the family to Riveira Maya, Mexico for cousin Diway's wedding...was beautiful, this photo was taken at the resort we stayed at
After a long long flight, we had our first drink and dinner at the resort...was so nice to spend time with my sisters

My hopes of the trip in addition to seeing my cousin get married was to eat lots of ceviche and swim through the caves

I did it! :) had ceviche everyday...tried it with octopus for the first time...and we did zip lining, amphibian vehicle riding, swimming and paddling through caves, was so so fun! bummed I didn't get a picture cave swimming
we did the Xplor Tour, included those 4 activities and a yummy lunch
looking down, freaking out when we got to the top
here I go

dee's turn
our amphibious vehicle, was crazy driving up and down hills, then when it started to rain it was like we were in a movie :)

the wedding...my dad walked Diway down the isle
how cute are these flower girls
the KISS

the beautiful bride
so random that I had the same one shoulder strap as my cousin
hanging with cousins, were reminiscing on our childhood together, crazy we are all old now!

congratulations Diway and Erik...was such a beautiful wedding, was so happy to share the day with you guys!

longest Halloween ever

Halloween was unusually busy for us this year...very long!

pre Halloween at the pumpkin patch

the girls were excited for the bungy

and the animals
every year at zappos they have trick or treating in the office for the kids

some teams go all out and decorate super cute themes

this year was extra special, they had a bunch of stuff going on outside too...a train


a ride
even a little pumpkin patch
auntie dee was able to meet us for some crafts

tony came out to see what the kids were up to

then the next day was dress up day for adults

our team was the count and bats...that is our theme in our row since we are merch planning and we love numbers :) this was costume #1

later on that same day was our quarterly recognition meeting we were alligators or crocodiles...I forget...inside joke at work b/c when there is a system issue this croc or gator pops up on the screen, so costume #2

then the next day was the Charity Golf event that zappos hosts, where vendors buy tickets to golf and zappos employees volunteer at the holes. It's not your usual golf game, there is usually a silly challenge at each hole...costume #3 mexicans, but I had already bought my champagne costume and was determined to wear it :)

jay too, he had two costumes, bam bam for work

power range for the golf event..after having the pumpkin patch, kids day on Wednesday, adult stuff on Thursday, then the Golf thing on Friday, by the time Halloween came on Sunday we were over it, fun week but tiring

its our anniversary

For our 10yr thought it would be fun to send our bridal party love cards, thanking them for being part of our special day 10 years ago...each card had a different little message about love



also included was a coffee bag so they could toast with us in spirit...our Friday morning thing is coffee at starbucks

totally optional to participate and send in pictures...

was so excited to get our first picture...how cute are Tip & Rick...love you guys!

Cheers Nin! Love you too!
best man Will
Alex and Derek...such good sports the guys were :)
sponsors Mark and Diana...didn't get 100% participation, people no fun...hee! but that's okay, was still a fun time, especially making the cards :)

we decided to get dirty for dinner...Hot n Spicy

so yummy!

then got our dessert fix at Brio...10yrs flew by so fast, so blessed!!! couldn't have married a better man

another special anniversary

our church the Crossing has the same anniversary as us 9/24/00, they decided to do a big serve in the community, there were about 10 different things to choose from, we chose to clean up a recreation center because it was one that the family could do together

jay and I signed up to paint and the kids did light cleaning and were able to play in the gym while waiting for the parents...turned out jay told me to just stay with the kids, so he painted for the both of us :)

jaylin and jayson wiping down the bleachers while jayme was out with a group picking up trash

afterwards kids got to play in the inflatables

and do a bunch of relay races
then at the end of the day everyone regrouped at the park for bbq, music

cotton candy
and more inflatables...the big ship

so fun! he was so excited and went down another time

we love our church and are so happy to be part of one that understands we aren't perferct, we are all jacked up, on a journey seeking God, living our lives based on His teachings. It's a come as you are church, whose mission is to Love God and Love People and what better way than to serve our hometown Las Vegas, check it out for on-line messages when you can't make it to church

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was full of pools...we started off Friday at Auntie Tips pool

practiced swimming and tredding

Saturday still stayed local and went to check out the Rio pool

it was pretty nice

had sand areas for the kids to play

started to bury his feet
then started to cover minethen all of a sudden I was getting a sand pedicure :)

it was a good time, felt good to be out in the nice sun in Sept, not the burning hot sun of the summer
then after hanging out at home, we decided last minute on Sunday to go to SoCal for the rest of the holiday...first, roadtrip slurpees!

we went to check out Rommell and Tish's time share in Escondido, was pretty neat to be surrounded by mountains

this one was getting brave

short trip, but a good one...anything to see cousins
