Sailing

On our stop in Cozumel we went on a sailing excursion (the only excursion we did) with 4 other families. It was so much fun. Cody grew up sailing, but it was my 1st time. We sailed out to sea for a couple of hours then dropped anchor at a reef and went snorkling. So cool. We saw a lot of cool fish and the color of the water was incredible. After that they sailed us to a beach for some more fun in the water. While we were playing the crew was cooking us fajitas on the boat.

Yummy fajitas, w/ homade guacamole and pasta salad.

Then then got out the parachute thing and let us play around before sailing back to shore. Her's Cody catching some air.

Wasn't the water so pretty?!

A few pics from pur cruise

The 1st week of April Cody and I were able to go on a cruise. 7 days in the western Caribbean- so fun!

This is a pic of the back of the boat. It's the "Aqua Theater" The 1st night we saw a cirque de solieau type water show. We couldn't beleive all of the stunts and dives they were doing on a moving cruise ship and into such a tiny pool of water.

This is us at our 1st stop- Labadee, Haiti. It was Royal Caribbean's private beach. We had a fun relaxing day at the beach there. The water was beautiful.

One of Cody's favorite things on the ship was getting to play soccer and basketball. He got in on several games and had a lot of fun. And only got hurt once!

And one of my favorite things was the unlimited softserve!

Other highlights were the yummy food that was available ALL day long, our favorite dining room waiter Dwayne, the entertainment on the ship-the show Hairspray, the 3-D movie theater, the Ice Skating show, the Love and Marriage game show, the flow-rider (surfing on the ship), laying out, the breakfast buffet,.... We also stopped in Jamaica but didn't do much there. And our last stop in Cozumel was a blast. We went on a Sailboat excursion for about 8 hours and had so much fun. It was a much needed trip! We missed our kids a ton, but knew they were in good hands with gramy! Thanks mom. And thank you to Cody's company for sending us on such a great vacation!

Who needs a fork?

When you have fingers!

Love him to pieces, but he is such a mess maker!

She's got moves

Practicing her moves the other night!

Goofy Girl!

Egg Hunt

We did a little Easter Egg hunt on our dangerous, unfenced lot with all the little kids.

Easter Dinner

Betty Crocker, I mean Cody, shredding the YUMMY ham!

Jackson slurping up Aunt Taya's delicious "frappe" I think she called it. (pineapple sherbet, frozen mixed berries and sparkling cider)

Some of the group. We had my parents, Cody's parents, my brother Brandon, my brother Caleb and his wife Nikki, and my Aunt Taya and her hubby Fred and their 4 kids. It was a party!

The desserts. Cupcakes by me and sugar Cookies from Kneader's- thanks Carla!

Easter Baskets

No carrots, so the Easter Bunny got asparagus and powerade!

Sooo excited for ANOTHER Barbie movie!

Easter Kids!

This is the only picture of the 2 of them, both looking at the camera, on Easter.

Londyn could pose all day!

Jackson could not be bothered to sit still!

He NEEDED to go play in the dirt!

Cabelas

Last night Cody had to work late. So we brought him some dinner. Then on the way home Londyn saw Cabelas and was "dying to go." So I said, why not. Cody wasn't going to be home and we've only been there 3 times in the year and a half we've lived here.

1st stop- look at the fish.

Next- world's biggest camping chair!!

Then, they tested out this camo golf cart thing.

Finally we went upstairs to test out all of the tents and camping chairs. And we got Icee's from the cafe.
Who knew Cabelas could be so fun?

Farm Country

Last week when we had such nice spring-like weather, the kids and I went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point.

We went on a "hay ride" pulled by 2 horses. Both kids loved it, but Jackson refused to sit down. So he kept falling!

Jackson loves playing in the "jail."

While we walk around Londyn collects dead leaves, pieces of hay or whatever else she can find so she can feed it to the horses and ponies.

Isn't this peacock pretty? It was all white. Hopefully we will have more nice days to go the Farm!
