We just returned from our family vacation to Mexico. It seems simple to say that we all had a Fabulous time. There were several families from Cedar, so we were all constantly entertained. Here are just a few pictures of the trip, if I get some extra time I'll post some more later. We are already counting down the days until we get to go again next year.

It started out a sand castle, but ended up a sand monster.

Such creative boys!

This was our setup on the beach.
Pure RELAXATION!

This is the view of the pools from our room.

If you don't like the temperature of one pool,

just walk a few feet and get in another one.

I could have edited Dan's foot out of this picture,

but I love his photographer skills!

Never a dull moment, always someone to play with.

I could have stayed in this hammock all day!

My Idea of a Pet!

For several months we have had mysterious droppings in one spot by our back door. We were certain it was a mouse that was leaving us it's nice goodies, so we set out mouse traps, and never caught a thing. Well the other morning I was taking Kennedy to school and I spotted this cute creature. I feel much better knowing we have a chipmunk rather than a mouse. This is my idea of a great pet! We don't have to feed it, clean it or worry who will take care of it while we are away! Carter named him "Little Chief" It's killing Dan that he hasn't caught a glimpse of him yet.

Take me to the BEACH!

We are getting ready for a vacation to Mexico, and my sweet friend Laci brought over an entire wardrobe for Addy. Seeing her in these swimsuits made me even more anxious! These are for you Laci.

THANKS BABE!

Amazed By Gods Love

Yesterday is right up there with one of my most favorite days this year. My sister Nicole and her family were sealed in the temple. I can't think of a better way to celebrate your 16th Wedding Anniversary! It was absolutely amazing! For those of you that don't know my sister, she has some of the greatest qualities. She is loving, understanding, forgiving, patient, and seriously BEAUTIFUL! I don't know how she does it, but truly she gets prettier with age.

This picture speaks volumes to me, this is what it's all about. I'm so thankful I was able to be a part of their day!

Too Much Time With Daddy!

This is to funny not to share. We were at my parents house tonight, and Carter went into my Dads office where he was watching the Democratic Convention and this is the conversation I overheard. (mind you Carter is only 4. )

Carter - Bapa do you hate Obama?
Bapa - No, Carter I don't hate Obama, but I don't agree with everything he says.
Carter - My Dad gets real angry when he is on TV, he says Obama is a COMMUNIST!
Bapa - (laughing) Really? What is a communist Carter?
Carter - I don't know, but it doesn't sound good!

I had no idea Carter was listening to all the terrible things Dan has been saying to the TV the last couple of days. So if you like Obama you might not want to talk to my 4 year old about it, if he listened well enough to pick up the word communist the rest can't be good either.
