Cruise to Catalina

Last week we went on a cruise to Catalina Island. They cancelled the port to Ensenada(something about swine flu, I don't really know, they haven't said much about it:)!!!!!) anyway we had so much fun. If you know me at all you know that I tend to forget my camera at the dumbest times, like when I want to take a picture. Luckily Brandon has his phone so we got some pics of Catalina. We went with our friends Jackie and Kevin. It was so nice to go on vacation without our kids. We missed them a lot, but the break was well worth it. Thank you everyone who helped watch them.


We stayed at Kevins parents house for a couple of nights and went swimming and hot tubbing. Fun!!! Kevin and his brother decided to throw Brandon in the pool. Everything was good until they discovered Brandon had his phone on him. No worries it dried out quite nicely.

I love these towel animals that they do, they are so cute.

The island was so cool. We rented a golf cart and cruised around checking out the place.

The only downside of the whole trip, was that it was chilly. I was expecting to lay out and get a tan, but instead we ended up wearing sweatshirts most of the time.

Mothers Day

For Mothers Day my sister Rachel and I decided that we wanted to get my mom one of those edible arrangements. Come to find out, those things are EXPENSIVE. So being the creative types that we are, we decided to do it ourselves. I think it turned out rather well!!!!!!!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We also had a barbecue at my house, which turned out to be a lot of fun. I don't have any pics of that, because Rachel took them all, but maybe if Rachel blogged we would be able to see them:)

Day at the Zoo

So I am a little behind, but I am going to do 3-4 posts to get caught up. The first one is the trip to the Zoo. This was Austins first time, but Kylee's second. They thought it was pretty cool. The big water ball is always a hit.



I couldn't get Kylee to pose with with the giant gorilla so here is Austin and me.

We went with my friend Jackie and her girls. AvRee and Kylee had a lot of fun together.

I think Kylee liked the train the best.

Kylee ,Wynter and AvRee. It was pretty tricky to get them to stand still long enough.

Austin wasn't the biggest fan of doing this, so this is the best that we got.

Sad, that my arms are almost as long as the gorillas. I guess that is where Austin gets it from.
