Hola from Mexico!

Taylor and I were able to spend 10 amazing days in Mexico. We stayed in a small town called Peurto Morelos which is right n between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen and also happens to be the town where my cousin Laura and her boyfriend Russ live in the winter. Here are some pics from the first half of or trip. Unfortunately our camera was knocked into the sand on New Years Eve and broke so I have to get the rest of the pictures from my Aunt Michelle's camera.

Beach Pics

Taylor, Jess and Aunt Michelle

Me and Todd hanging at the beach bar

Taylor and I waiting for the sun to rise on the beach

A super nice kid from Canada that hung out at the beach made me this sweet bracelet out of beer can tabs and hemp.

This sign at the bus station was hilarious. It was for the emergency exit but Michelle and I determined that it was really trying to say that if  you are ever being chased by large arrows you should run as fast as you can right at each other.

Blogging Vacation

Sorry I've been on a bit of a blogging vacation but who has time to blog when you're here?!! More of our awesome trip to Mexico to come.

Why??

Why does Christmas have to be so stressful?? It should be happy and fun and Christmas day usually is but, every day leading up to it just seems to be non stop STRESS!!

Another Confession

I am a car jammer!! I love to crank up the tunes and sing at the top of my lungs while I'm driving. I don't even care what kind of music it is. If I'm in the car it's on and it's LOUD. I've almost blown the speakers in every car that I have ever owned including my current soccar mom special. So if you ever come up on a silver Honda Pilot with the speakers blaring there is a good chance it's me just rockin out by myself!

Tubby Time

This little munchkin LOVES to take a bath. If she wants a bath she will jump in the tub and sit there until we give her a bath. I swear I own the only dog in the world who will ask for a bath. When she gets out she has to have Taylor wrap her up in a towel and hold her. Spoiled little booger.

Our Christmas Tree

Finally some pics of our tree. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

All the ornaments ready to go on the tree

Taylor put up this cute little tree in our bedroom so that I could fall asleep with the tree on.

The team captins

Roman was so concerned when one of the players got injured

I realized that I never got around to posting pictures of Taylor coaching this year. While I do enjoy Taylor coaching I'm very happy to say that the season is over and I couldn't be happier. I love seeing Taiylor coach and be in his element. The kids on the team are adorable and their parents are awesome an so supportive of the coaches and their wives. But, by the end of the season I'm pretty much over the coaching. It's so time consuming and hard for me to invest my time with my husband for something that in the end doesn't mean as much to me as it does Taylor. Still  the season was fun while it was here.

Too Early??

Some may think that it is too early to be getting ready for Christmas but, not in my house. My tree is going up as we speak (pics to come soon). I know that it may be bordering on insanity but hey... it's my house right?

My Addiction

My name is Jessica Riley and I am a Diet Coke-aholic. It is my crack. I drink so much Diet Coke. In my attempts to shed a few pounds and kick my habbit I have quit cold turkey. I haven't had a Diet Coke in a month. That was until tonight. All it took was one bad day and I caved. Oh well.... Maybe the second time around will be better.

Obsessed Super Nerd

Ok I know that I'm an obsessed super nerd but, I got my tickets to go see New Moon last night and I'm SOOO excited!! The midnight show was already sold out so myself, Kelsey, my cousin Laura, and Taylor are going to the showing at 2:40 in the morning!! Have I mentioned that I have the greatest husband in the world. He is getting up in the middle of the night to take me to see this movie. He's such a trooper. I'm seriously counting down the days!
