First quarter 2012 2.5 of 2 -Yeah it doesn't make sense but picasa has limits

 Proud new mom and baby

The family together- Bryn trying to figure out what she's in for.


Ready for church!
Mom was here and able to help with Bryn while we were going to and from the hospital.

The many expressions of Thayne.

Bryn likes to pose too.

She doesn't like to go to sleep at night so many nights we get to put her in her bed after she finally goes to sleep. Usually a hour long process. 
We have a lot of fun together as you can see with all the easter eggs in the back ground.
She likes to be a girl and loves all of her "outfits" that cousin Reagan gave to her.

Katie caught her fast asleep at the table after she said "I'm not tired!"
No- we don't hope he becomes the next CeLow but he keeps the sunglasses on longer than Bryn ever has.
Then we had an easter egg hunt with Bryn in the house


Bryn has her Minnie ears on after a party at a friends house- mom poses with them too!

First Quarter 2012 2 of 2

 After the ziplining we took a tour of a tequila factory.  Pretty interesting how much money and time has gone in to inebriating liquids since the dawn of time.  The stuff in my hand is what they steam up and extract the juice from- not bad just by itself.


That rock is the old school juice extractor- try to keep the donkey output out of the tequila!
Then a gift shop of course to get  the tourists to buy stuff.

Katie was having fun with the camera. 
Judy looking on as we cruise along the beach.  The hill in the background is the one we are taking our picture on in the next shot.

This little rock you'll see cliff divers jumping off, just climbing up there can be a thrill in itself.
We rented some waverunners again and had a good time. 
We then had dinner right on the beach and got some good sunset pictures.

This was a lizard that I was practicing shots on- he was just outside our Villa while I was reading one day. 
Then you have Judy out there purchasing little puppets from the guy that did a great sales pitch on her.

Thayne Roy HanksBiggest news this year- we had a healthy baby boy.

He was in Merconium so they were pretty concerned for him at first but he survived it and has been doing well.
Not too big- you'll see his weight in the picture below and was about 20.5 inches-(I think)
Happy mom and baby
Bryn's still not sure what to make of it.

First quarter 2012 1of 2

Our first stop this new year was going out to Savannah's wedding. It was great. We went to Hoover Dam also with Sid, Kelly and their family too


Next stop was Mazatlan after dropping Bryn off with Mom and Dad. Roy and Judy have a Villa down there that we crashed with Andy, Janet, Becky and Amos.
Katie is showing off the place and her 7 month baby.

The place is called Emerald Bay with some great facilities and great views.
Katie is showing off some of the pools.
And they have these green lizards that are all over

One of the locations that we returned to for the big shrimp and great ambiance

In one of the open air taxis (back of a nissan pickup) headed to the center to look at things like this ginourmous Catholic church.

Judy is eyeing over the waiters as they prepare our "banana flamejante" -flaming bananas

Out to the countryside to do some ziplining. Pretty country in it's own way- pretty rugged. As seen by the picture we are careening up this road in a minibus. Didn't waste much time getting there. Part of the fun of the ziplining was Judy went with us and she was fun to watch.


Resting before our 6-wheeled Austrian military carrier took us up to the start of the ziplines. Judy only braked too hard once and one of the workers had to slide out to her and grab her torso with his legs and pull her in. Very funny to watch.
Some old growth trees that were a lot different than what we have up here.

Long horns are the cows of choice down here.
