Birthday Cruise!

San Diego

Old Navy Ship (museum now)

Our waiter from Philippines was so funny and really embarrassed me with his horrible singing for my birthday!

Every night we had a different animal on our bed

The water was so beautiful and BLUE!

Our VERY sad attempt at singing Karaoke together!

This was the dance room and it was MJ's night. Boy did Jerry get some looks:)

Cabo San Lucas (BEAUTIFUL!!)

Instead of staying on the beach where we should've (b/c Encinatas isn't where you want to lie in the sand), we went on an "Outdoor Adventure". After an hour and a half drive up to the mountains, we went zip lining, rock climbing, tarzan swing, crazy ladder, and over "commando bridge". They wouldn't let you take your own pictures b/c "safety concerns" but it was just so we'd have to buy our pictures at $12 each!! So we splurged and got two! At the end of the day, it was nice to feel like we worked off a LITTLE bit of all the food we'd eat!!

Their professional pictures they so kindly took for us. Wish we could've afforded more, but oh well!

The enormous size of the boat never got old.

Some guy said this rock looks like a dinosaur drinking water...he's right.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. (the sunset, not me, but thanks:))

Jerry's impression of a turtle.

Ensenada Mexico!!

All we did was shop. Pretty fun trying to haggle your way down from $150 to $10 for a ring you didn't want but..."For you, almost FREE. How about $40, but that's the lowest I can go. Please, you deserve it!" Thank you, I do deserve it but I think I can find a ring like that at Walmart!

Our last dinner. Sad, so sad. Jerry ordered TWO entrees every night, just because he could!!

Back in San Diego and have a few hours to kill.

Theo was being shy on the car ride home. Didn't even want to look at me!! Good thing Lucy was excited to see us or else I probably would've cried!

Best Trip EVER! Highly recommend going on a cruise--with out kids! A HUGE THANKS TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AND FRIEND BRITTANY FOR WATCHING OUR KIDS!!!!! 5 night cruise is the way to go. 3 would've been too short, 7 too long. By the 5th day I was really missing my kids and excited to come home:)

Watch out!

Sorry about my annoying voice, but pretty funny!

Theo loved it but Lucy...not so much!

Random summer pics

Jerry's brother Jeff and his wife Emilie were in town from MO and we all went boating. It was beautiful!

Classic , love you Em!

Arrrg!

Lucy, Zoey, and Eleas

My Parents from TX

Potty training at 16 mo's!!

Lucy has always been very interested in the toilet. Theo is fully potty trained now and she loves to say bye bye to his pee pee and poo poo. One morning I realized her diaper wasn't very full and thought I'd sit her on the little potty to see what would happen and guess what? She did it!!! She's even gone poop a couple times--crazy huh? It'll probably be a while before she's totally potty trained but I'm loving that she's open to the idea so early!!!

Cream Soda Summit

Jerry being funny at the expense of our children.

Cook's are in town

Here are some pictures from when Marni and her kids came to visit us all the way from TX!  Her kids are so cute and we had so much fun...esp Theo and Kaleb on the Wii:)  It was also neat to go up to Temple Square with them!

Summer Time!

Jerry and the two kiddies in the "cat" pool.  

(explanation:  Theo heard Jerry call it the "kitty" pool.  Kinda cute:)

Me and my baby doll

Lucy's first word:  WOW!

I love this picture b/c I had no idea if it would even turn out.  I was the one taking the pics and wanted one of me and Lucy so I just turned it around and ended up getting a big flag behind us! 

Downtown Provo at the Freedom Festivial

Our first year to stay up for the fireworks b/c we thought Theo was old enough to enjoy them but it ended up Lucy loving the show and Theo wanting to go home!

Theo being goofy with a scooter Mami gave him :)

Who doesn't love a rainbow?  You've esp. gotta love a double rainbow!
