Michaela's big day

My little sister Michaela got baptized May 28th. She'd been taking the discussion all on her own and investigating the LDS Church all on her own as well. I am so happy for her and can totally see a change in her and see that she is also so very happy.

Mexican Rivera Cruise 2011

I was able to go on a wonderful 7 day cruise this year with my amazing family. This year was a little different, the whole family came! :) For Christmas we all got offered a 7 day cruise as long as we paid for our flight. We had a great time. We visited Cabo San Lucas twice and Puerto Vallarta. Here are some pictures from the trip!
On our way to the ship.... on the ship
Our first formal night on the ship... :) I bought that dress two nights before at Ross.Our first night out at the comedy club.
















































Our first day in Cabo - We started off by taking a taxi boat around to see some sights and then getting dropped off at a beach to hang out for a couple hours.

Kayli & I goofing off at the comedy club.




This is our second day in Cabo. We started the day off by splitting up in groups. Randy, Cindy, Carter and Skylar went deep sea fishing, while Kayli, Me, Blake, Valerie and Bronx had fun exploring Cabo. We started off at the Dolphin Encounter. We watch people feed them and play with them and swim with them! We weren't able to take any pictures but still had a good time. After the encounter we walked around until we found a place to have some lunch. Here we are above having lunch together. The food was really good and so was the atmosphere. :)




Yes - That is a real baby lion. After lunch we walked around, did a lot of sight seeing and shopping. They had a small booth with a baby lion. For $25.00 three people could hold the lion and take pictures. Kinda cool huh! Above is Kayli and I at the Cabo Wabo Cantina. Its a famous restaurant owned by a famous guy....Sammy Hagar of Van Halen.




The next day we were in Puarto Vellarta. Here we are getting all geared up to do the zip line canopy tours. This was mine and Kayli's second time doing something like this but Blake, Val's and Skylar's first. This tour was so much fun!!




Some fun pictures during the tour.




After the tour we had some fun in the city. Here is me and Bronx at the monkey place where Skylar and Kayli held and fed a monkey. The man above is name Jorge and he paints pictures but in a very unique way. He only uses his fingers. He is so talented and paints such beautiful pictures.




Me and Kayli




Our last formal dining. The whole family! We had some really great waiters and of course we had to get a picture with them. Please excuse the face that I am very red. :)




Randy & Cindy - Three of the ladies. Again excuse that I am red - Actually pink.The rest of the cruise we all just had a great time with each other. We laid out, played games, went to shows and Kayli and I slept like we hadn't for weeks! I am so grateful and blessed to have all of these people in my life. Thank you guys! Love you all!
