Bunny!

The other day, our little family was talking about the thought of getting a dog. Konnor REALLY loves dogs. And we have always wanted a dog. Not that we are quite ready to get a dog right now, but we were talking about it anyway. So, Kyle asked Kaylee, "Kaylee, should we get a puppy?" Her response was not what we were expecting. She said, "Well, I really want a bunny." Kyle then said,"A bunny? We are not going to get a bunny, we are thinking about getting a puppy." Then Kaylee quickly said, "I like bunnies, what color of bunny should we get?" Kyle and I started laughing! It was easy for ME to see that she is a LOT like her father in the fact that if she wants something, she goes for it! Nothing will stand in her way. ha ha I have my hands full with those two! :)

Family Visit!

A couple of weeks ago, my mom and sister were here with us! We had a fun Sunday together. We all went to church together, and then we packed a picnic lunch and went for a drive around the Alpine Loop. It was so much fun! We laughed and awed at the beauty of Utah! It was the perfect week to drive around the loop, because the fall leaves were changing! It was SO pretty!Tracy, Kaylee, Mom, Konnor, & Kyle on top of the world! Notice: The girls with the "Sassy Pose".
Below: Tracy and Kaylee my little cheese-balls.
Our little family!
(That tree behind us was VERY yellow!)
Tracy & I at an overlook! The sky was so blue that day!
Here is our little family just after we got back from church! Thank you to Tracy and Mom for coming to ALL 3 hours of church! It was so nice to have you there with us! That was a happy day for me!
Thank you to mom and Tracy for watching the kids while we were on our cruise! It was sure fun to spend a few days together. All we needed was Scott there to make it a perfect time! Hopefully, one day we will have ALL of the family here at our home! That will be a goal of mine!

Boys WIll Be Boys- Outcome

Good News & Bad News:

Good news is that Konnor does NOT have to have surgery!!!!!! Thank Heavens! He has to wear a green cast for the next 6 weeks! Bad news: He fell again when we got home from the Dr. today and you can see the goose-egg on his forehead! What a fun 6 weeks this will be! I can see it now, the curious looks of strangers at the store. "Hmmm, poor kid. His mamma probably beats him!" CPS calls from neighbors, I can just see it now!...
But for all of you readers: I DO love my son with all my heart. :) He just falls ALL the time. And now I get to bathe him without getting his arm wet. YIKES. When he takes a bath, the whole bathroom is wet! Wish me luck with that one.

Boys Will Be Boys :(

Konnor fractured his arm right below his elbow this week. Poor little guy. His Dr. wanted him to see an Orthopedic Surgeon first thing. So, in the morning we have an appointment to see if he will need surgery or not. Keep him in your prayersI sure love him. He has been really good. But he keeps falling a lot, and that makes it hurt quite a bit. If you have any good tips for me, I am all ears!

Haiti

Labadee, Haiti
(That is our boat in the background)
The flowers were gorgeous! And they had really big birds that sounded like it was coming from a c-d.
Here we are chilling on the beach reading our books.
(For the record, I am reading New Moon -again, and Kyle is reading Dan Brown)
Can I just say, I LOVE HAMMOCKS!
This was the clearest water we have ever been in! The sand didn't stir up because there were no waves! It was easier to see, than in a swimming pool! NO JOKE!
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line owns this whole beach area. It was so pretty. If you have never been, ...GO!

Jamaica

Jamaica was our second stop on the cruise!!The famous "Dunns River Falls" (Ocho Rios, Jamaica)
Awe, the cute couple after the big climb.
My hunkie hubby!
"Di Picture Stop"
Congratulations! You made it to the top!
Me and a cute little donkie!

Jamaica was a lot different than we were expecting. But it was pretty! The falls were soooo gorgeous! It took us about an hour to get to the top of the falls from the ocean level. When we got off the boat, we jumped on a shuttle to go to the falls. We wore our swimsuits luckily, because we didn't have anywhere to change!

Darwin the Dolphin!

This was my favorite part of my cruise! I got to ride Belly to belly on a dolphin. He is upside down and I am holding onto his fins. He was swimming so fast that the bottoms of my bathing suit came right off!!!!!! I quickly let go and grabbed my suit before it came off my feet! Luckily, nobody got a show. (The water was too bubbly.)
Here is me kissing the dolphin!
Here is Darwin the Dolphin kissing my cheek!

Caribbean Cruise!

This is part 2 of our Caribbean Cruise! We stopped in Grand Cayman!
(If you want to see bigger pics, just click on them.)
All I can say, is we had a BLAST! I got to fulfill a life-long dream of swimming with dolphins. The whole adventure was remarkable! Our cruise stops were: Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. Royal Caribbean Cruise line was the BEST!

Below: I was in a group of 9 and we got to work with Darwin the Dolphin. It was amazing!
I got to get a kiss him, ride belly to belly, and here are a couple other pics.
The dolphin made a few circles around us in the water. We got to pet him each time!
The Dolphin is pushing my feet while I am on a boogie board! That was such a rush!
Some pirate dude, in Tortuga.
GRAND CAYMAN
This is where we got to eat breakfast and lunch everyday on the ship! What a beautiful sight!
Kyle and I went goofy golfing on the top of the ship!
Formal Night
Our last stop was
COZUMEL, MEXICO!
When we got off the ship, we took a ferry to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
We wanted to see some historical Mayan Ruins. We even learned some about the Book of Mormon there! It was very fascinating!
(Tulum Mayan Ruins)
This was the most beautiful place we have ever seen!
Awww

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico- This is where we had a blast playing in the ocean! The waves were soooo fun!
