Cruising

January 9 - 14 my husband and I went on a cruise with two other couple friends to Cabo, Mexico. We had a blast. We learned how to dance, we ate, we laughed, ate, laughed, played phase 10, ate, were on a newlywed game, ate, snorkled, ate, kayaked, ate, parasailed, ate, whale watched, ate, shopped, ate, took pictures, ate, sang, ate, celebrated, watched a hairchest competition, ate, golfed, ate, worked out, ate, swam, and finally we ate. It was so much fun and cannot wait to do it again!

             



Random Sillyness!

Just before FHE on Monday my kids were goofing off and they got the camera and started doing a photo shoot. They are constantly doing random silly things, which I love because it brings laughter, smiles and good times!! No household should be without random silly acts as a family!   

Packing

In about 3 weeks we will be moving into the house we purchased. I am so excited, but there is much to do because one of those weeks we will be gone on a cruise. So today, I started packing up some of the things we don't normally use on a daily bases, like decorations, pictures and such. So far I dont feel overwelmed and if I keep up this pace I should not feel that way. So today, I took a picture of some of the boxes I packed up. I am hoping that all goes smooth with the move!

Sundays are BEAU-tiful

Today was a beautiful Sabbath day, well that is the way it ended anyway. I woke up nice and early, got ready for church and had to make the reservations for our Ward's Girl's Camp. Needless to say, I did not get the spot that I planned on and when I went back in to search for other sites, well they were all gone within 10 minutes. I felt like I could not face my leaders in the YW and felt as though I let them down, but Heavenly Father is GREAT! He turned it all around and made it so I found a campsite a few miles down the road, so we are still going to the beach for Girls Camp, just going on a new adventure together!! I love how He allows things to work for us when we dont understand what or why! He is AMAZING! We made it to church just after the opening prayer in time for Sacrament and had a wonderful rest of the day. We learned about Jesus in Sunday School and then about who Heavenly Father is in Young Women's! What a Glorious Sabbath! I am sad though that the kids are starting back to school because I so enjoyed our time together. I know these six months will go by fast and then we will have the summer to enjoy together. As for now I am counting down to a cruise with my hubby and good friends in as my Heather would say "7 sleeps" and then off to Cabo!! Whe you think all is lost or things are not going the way you thought -  remember that we are all Children of God and with Him all things are possible!

New Year's Day

Well it is officially 2011. How the years fly by after you hit a certain age!! One of my many New Year goals is to blog; I am not sure how good at this I will be, but I will give it my best shot. The first thing we did for the New Year as a family was have pumpkin pancakes and ohhhh were they delish!! I got the recipe from the Primary President in our ward. Here is the recipe if you want to enjoy some tasty pancakes!!
