Ensanada Mexico: Blow hole

January 12th- I love bartering! I am trully good at about three things and bartering is one of them. Pie cutting is another. Anyhow, I loved shopping in Mexico. They had so much to buy and I had a lot to buy for. Jer and I rented a car with our friends Josie and Scott and went to both the blow whole, where the best shopping was, and the wine country.

The Blow holw was beautiful. The blow hole went off a lot, but didn't go super hi. We got wet twice, which was fun.

Jer finally got the cowboy hat he has been wanting for forever. He looks really good in it, kind of like Indiana Jones or Han solo. In fact one guy there said he looked like Han Solo. Funny.

Lots to do on our cruise

Jauary 10-14th- Aside from eating and all the choices there, there were so many things to do on the ship, it didn't matter where you cruised, you can still have an awesome time.

We went hot tubbing. Jer went off the big water slide, but it was freezing cold salt water.

On top of the ship they had a mini gold course. Jer and I did it and did pretty well. We came close to tying on the score.

They had an arcade for those who like arcade games and such.

They had a ton of acts, including comedians and ratings. We went to two different PG rated comedy shows. We were going to go to the PG-13 one, but ended up watching a movie instead.

This was the welcome variety show. They had one at the end as well. They were great! Live band and singers.

You also could always find a quiet place to read or sun bathe. I got one and a half books read. I also got a ton of scrapbooking done. I got caught up to 2009!

Catalina Island

January 11th- Our first stop was Catalina Island. Wow. It was beautiful and looked so much like my Grandpa Massey's Riverside house. It was awesome. I thought it was so beautiful. Jer and I want to live there, but don't know what we would do for work there.

Jeremy kept finding bulls to take pictures next to. I liked the rainbow one.

We found a few couples there to take pictures of us together. It was so much fun. We just walked all over Avalon and did a little shopping.

Fancy Dinners on the Cruise

January 10-14- The food on the cruise was amazing. There were so many choices, any time of the day. It was awesome. One choice was a super fancy five star restaurant that served beautiful food. It was pretty to look at. Jeremy and I got all dolled up and went a few times. It was awesome and I love getting dressed up too.

Cruise TIme!

January 10th, 2011-We left for our Cruise!!! It was beautiful weather and we were so nervous and excited. Jer had his seasick patch and we were ready for our first vacation without the kids. We were nervous to leave them for 5 days, but they were in great hands. Christy and Grandee were watching them during the day, and mom helped after work. Thanks!

Our Cruise ship-Carnival Paradise.

Us with the Mascott.

He is so big!

January 7th, 2011- We left for our big vacation and stopped at Jen's to spend the night. We got to babysit her cute little boys that night so I took some pictures of Trever. (Zack and Lexi to running around too fast to get any pictures of.) Lily loves playing with her little cousin. Well I shouldn't say little. He is 8 months younger then her, but only weighs about 1 or 2 pounds less and had the same amount of teeth.

I tried getting themm to look, but they were too busy playing.

He is so cute!!!! Look at those adorably cute cheeks!

Flashback to my past

January 5th, 2011- We stopped by the Walmart vision center to look at contact prices and Lexi came over with these big brown glasses. It reminded me of my big ugly brown glasses I wore as a kid. Thank goodness they have cute kids glasses now for those who need them.
