We are back!

Wow it has been forever since I was able to update this thing! Finding time to do anything these days is tough. We have had fun at the beach and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Life stays busy with work, school and the boys. Garrett is 20 months and can say his ABCs and loves to play rough and sing songs that he learns from his big brother. Bailey is 3 1/2 and never slows down. He requires no sleep and has more energy than anyone I know. Paul is working hard as always and I am still working too. I start nurse practitioner school in August full time though. I am taking one class this summer that is already kicking my tail :) Pray for me! Everyone is doing well and the boys are growing way too fast! Never a dull moment at the Kosko house. Here are some pics from the beach! We had a blast and saw very minimal oil that was cleaned up fast by the beach patrol. We were able to play in the ocean and on the beach the whole time. We came down for a long weekend with Ashley, Zafer, Trey and Olivia - our dear friends from Knoxville who are doing great! Paul and I came back Monday since I had class and I am now back with my parents and the boys. So glad to have time to rejoin the blog world and keep up with everyone!

The longest post of pictures ever! Updates!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to Garrett! He had a fun party with lots of friends. He loved all the attention and as you can see, Bailey loved sharing all of Garrett's gifts with him :) He loved his John Deer hat and showing us that he is one!



Bailey and Garrett at Nammy and Pop's in September


Addison is visiting and she and Bailey got Mickey and Minnie tatoos!

Bailey finally set on Santa's lap and told him he wanted a guitar and a car for Christmas! Garrett did not really cry but he did not like the idea of sitting on Santa's lap :)

Happy Halloween! Bailey was Mickey Mouse and Garrett was a skunk :) They had a great time trick or treating. Bailey had more fun answering the door at our house and handing out candy




Bailey and Trey at the MSU/Florida game - they continuously yelled "Beat those Gators" and were hilarious

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

It's amazing what you miss when you don't have a computer!

Hello strangers! The Kosko's are back!!! Who would have thought that a MAC would crash after only one year, but ours did! The hard drive failed and all kind of other stuff. Just a tip - BACK EVERYTHING UP!!! :) Got it back now though and I feel like we have missed so much! Anyway, I have no pics on my computer now to post so got to get caught up downloading then I will update. The boys are growing up so fast. Bailey is fully potty trained - HOORAY! and loves Mickey Mouse more than his family. Garrett turned 1 on Oct 3rd - I will post some bday pics - Anyway, he is somewhat walking, talking and showing us his fun little personality. He has curly blonde hair and is the sweetest thing! Bailey loves Garrett but they do fight - already!! We are loving Starkville! We are finally feeling settled and having a great time!I will get some pics on here soon!

Bienvenidos!!!

We went to the El Dorado Royale resort in Rivera Maya Mexico (really in Playa del Carmen). It was a fabulous vacation with a delayed 5 year anniversary celebration. We went with Ashely and Zafer (our friends from Knoxville) and had a much needed and well relaxing vacation!




The resort was absolutely fabulous. I would recommend it for anyone for an adult only vacation whether honeymoon, anniversary or what. It was awesome!

There were iguana that lived throughout the resort. They stayed in there little hiding places for the most part.

Our fun towel animals!

The weather was great! The only bad weather was this storm that we got to lay on the beach and watch come in. It rained for 2 minutes and then was beautiful again!


This was a fun 5 year anniversary dessert surprise. It says happy five year anniversary spelled some crazy way. It was our waiter's idea.

The food was delicious. The resort had 9 different restaurants to choose from and we ate at all of them. They were all awesome!

Everyday at 11 and 4 Paul and Zafer played in a very competitive beach volleyball game. Ashley and I only played once. We were not good enough!

At the entertainment bar called "guacamayas", they had these cool chair/bed things that you could lay in and listen to the live music as well as these swings surrounding the bar like Paul is having so much fun on in the next picture. He was like a kid at Christmas!


Snorkeling with all the beautiful fish!

These were my favorite little bungalo things that were on the beach and at the pools that you could nap on! It was like a double bed and so comfortable! This is where I spent 2 hours every afternoon!


There were so many fish in the crystal clear water. They were not afraid of us at all and would swim all around you. The baracuda would swim in to shore in the afternoon.


We had a stretch navigator limo take us back to the airport. Hey - it was the same price as a cab so why not??

We had a great trip! Ashley and Zafer are expecting a little girl in December and we are so excited for them. Can't wait for the next trip!
