Season’s Greetings -A Photo Update from A, B, and C

2 Replies

Now that we have Baby Aeden with us we are A, B and C (Aeden, Britton and Cassie)! So we thought we would make it as easy as A, B and C to say Happy Holidays and Felicidades from our home to yours! 🙂 Here are a few photos and a short video from our life recently in Puerto Rico. It has been speeding right along. I can’t believe Aeden is already 3 months old and almost sleeping through the night! Now I might have time to actually blog a little more again.


The beauty never ceases to amaze me!


Lots of yard work even in winter -Baby Aeden is lulled to sleep by the sounds of the mower haha


Cool abandoned airplane I saw off the road in Aguadilla looks like it should be in Lost


This banana tree was just asking to be photographed in this light. Gorgeous!


So was this monstera! One of my favorites in the flower bouquets and arrangements we sell


We took a little holiday photoshoot at the finca with our little Santa Baby


So cute!


Mommy’s kissing Santa!


My most precious gift!


Afterward he was tuckered out!


Check out how long this banana flower goes (with Elsa from the Farmer’s Market)


Always lots of Holiday Cheer around here (haha)


Watch out! It’s pica pica season!! eek this stuff is painfully itchy


My big boy can almost keep his head up by himself. He is growing so fast!


These prayer/blessing/curse candles are definitely a “thing” here


Close up of the “velas“

Campaign to try to prevent people from shooting guns in the air whilst celebrating the holidays -“ni una bala mas al aire” means “not even one bullet more in the air!”


He can be such a guy smiley when he wants to be. My little flower child


He IS awesome like Daddy!


Awesome Daddy trying out the Moby wrap

News Anchor Jeremy Hubbard visited us here in PR a bit ago. For those of you in Colorado, stay tuned to Fox 31 in Denver for a couple of news stories about us that should air this week and in January!


Fun times with friends


Pretty turkey boy

I think we have more than enough lemon grass -sheesh! Poor Britton was all scratched up after this!


I’m pretty sure Aeden is going to be an astronaut! lol

Oh, I love this little guy so!

Until next time! Hasta Luego!

Puerto Rico Scenes: Post Cards and Preposterousness

1 Reply

Sometimes I look through my photos and think they look like postcards. Other times they make me laugh out loud at their absurdity. Such is life in Puerto Rico. Here are a few glimpses.

Palms and waves

Beachy days plus tree climbing = Happy Cassie

No, Puerto Rico doesn’t have a drinking problem or anything (cheap beer advertised at the gas station pumps)

Out and About Around Town in Photos: March/April 2016

Leave a reply

We have been busy at the finca, but we’ve also been out and about quite a bit. We always see such interesting things and have so much fun whenever we go out. I often don’t have the camera with me or I just miss something, but here are a few occasions where we managed to capture the moment just right.

Waves at the lighthouse
When the waves were up and kicking at the lighthouse

Britton Bar Cuajito
If you’re hanging out at a true Boricua bar, you’ll know it by the artwork on the walls, the generous amounts of mayo-ketchup you are served and the big pot of homemade cuajito on the counter -yum!

Rincon Continentals Daisy Playa
Our latest gig with our band the Rincón Continentals was at Playa Beach Bar -Yes, that translates to Beach Beach Bar -lol (photo thanks to Daisy)

Group photo
Mark, Ric, Chris, Me and Britton loading up gear and having fun after the show

Here’s a fun cover we do of Love Rollercoaster!

Beachy day
The sky and water have been so blue lately!

Slip n Slide easter
Epic Easter Party shenanigans at Summer and Stefan’s! Surfing down a slip ‘n slide! How cool is this! (Thanks to Missy for this photo!)

Speaker truck strange sights
Driving is ever the absurdity with speaker trucks like these!

Truck with no doors strange sights
Or monster trucks like this one without doors

Beach birthday party
And where is the best place for a kid’s birthday party (or anyone’s really)? The beach of course!

Computer repair island style strange sights
And it’s also apparently a good place for computer repair too! Who knew!? 🙂

Boss chair pool
And you’ll really feel like a boss when you’re playing at a billiards hall furnished with office chairs! haha!

Car wash gas station view
And don’t forget to take in the most gorgeous ocean views while filling up with gas or washing your car!

How can you not love a place like this?! It’s so much fun!

Don’t Call the Ambulance For Us and Other Entertainment

1 Reply

The other day we had an ambulance come down the drive to our house. We are basically at the end of a calle sin salida (dead end road) with only one other house slightly lower and so only very rarely do we have anyone drive past. Even more so, there is a pretty major little hill just as you reach our property. Not even the ice cream truck dares to take this incline for fear of not getting back up. Well, the ambulance wasn’t quite as smart. Thankfully, they weren’t actually on an emergency call and just happened to be lost. (Often people take private ambulance rides for doctors appointments and things; it’s a different type of service than what we northerners normally think.) Still it was pretty hilarious and a good reminder not to count on the ambulance for speedy service! Check out this video.

They eventually made it up! But it took about 10 minutes

We also have had fun going out. We stopped by the Art Walk this week and watched a little unicycling performance. You never know what you might see!

Another show we went to recently was a reggae concert at Playa Beach bar (weird name for a bar, I know). This is the bar of Villa Antonio and it’s right on the beach. A great venue for a show. We saw P-Dub and friends again. One of our favorite perennial bands and our friend Mark plays with them so it’s even cooler.
