Merry Christmas….a few weeks late!
I made it through the first weekend of the year in Primary. We kicked off our new theme (I am a child of God) and had a huge breakfast for the kids on Saturday. We fed the kids a couple hundred pancakes and fruit, played get-to-know-you games with new teachers, and spotlighted the new presidency…
Backwards….
I just typed out all of my posts about our cruise and then posted them backwards. Is there any way to change the order of posts once they’re posted? Regardless of the order, enjoy the pictures! Thanks to Karen, I was able to fix the order! Yay! And to answer Lori’s question….the kids were absolutely…
THE CRUISE!!
Where do I start?? How do I begin to describe the most incredible vacation I’ve ever been on? Our cruise was better than I could have ever expected. It was a blast! We stayed busy doing super fun things from the moment we woke up in the morning til LATE into each night. Comedians, shows,…
1st stop–Honduras
Our first adventure on shore was ziplining through the canopy of the jungle in Roatan, Honduras. We had the jungle to ourselves. Our two guides took us through 13 ziplines that lasted about an hour and a half. Strangely enough, I was not scared at all. Looking back at the pictures make me realize how…

Cozumel, Mexico and my 2nd visit to TULUM
I visited the ruins at Tulum in 1993 on the last day of my study abroad in Mexico. What a difference 14 years has made! It was crowded and commericalized, but still beautiful. My only regret was not having much time to enjoy the site. We had a great tour guide that explained a lot,…
PrIvAtE IsLaNd in the BaHaMaS
Imagine a private beach in the Bahamas….and then put 2000 people on it! The last hour before our boat left was peacful, though! Dale, Am, An (below!), D, Da, and M snorkled. Notice, no Laura in that list. I just can’t do underwater. Everyone had fun while I babysat the bags and clothes. Again, thank…
Fun on the ship
Me, An, and Am in the pool. We only got in the pool one day. There was just too much to do. We celebrated Mom and Dad’s 30th anniversary on the ship. We all dressed up, took pictures with the ship’s photographer, and had another great dinner. The restaurant staff sang “Let me call you…
Beware of exploding head!
Ok–so everything escalated to the point where I really feared that my head was going to explode. Getting ready for the holidays is often hectic enough. Thank goodness we’re having a low-key Christmas and my shopping was done early! Throw in a challenging and very busy calling plus a week-long cruise, and WOW! What a…
