Kayli's 21st BirthDAY

My cute best friend and "BIG" sister turned 21! We stared her day off by boating with the family at Utah Lake. Later that night, one of her best friends Cassie planned a night with everyone at the Bee's game for her. She had most of her close friends there at the game and had such a great time. The weather was perfect so we all got general admission and sat out on the grass. After the game there were was a firework show, we all just pretended it was for her :)

Happy Birthday KAYLI! I love you so much girl! Hope your 21st was amazing.... Can't wait to go to Vegas in July to celebrate yours and mine.

Sunday: We had family dinner at Cindy's and then cake and ice cream afterwards for Kayli

Utah Lake

Boating!! Finally!! For awhile there I didn't think Utah was going to see any sun shine. Kayli turned 21! WHOOP WHOOP!! For her birthday she wanted a morning and afternoon of boating with her family and some close friends so that's what we did. We went to Utah Lake for the day and had such a great time.

Some fun pictures from that afternoon.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

Cindy had a birthday! She is 39+ haha. I think she'd kill me if I said her real age on here. I don't know why because she really isn't old and even if she was... she's still a hot mama! To celebrate we all went to her house for dinner and then ice cream cake! I think she had a really good birthday. For her real celebration she and Randy and a few friends are going down to Lake Powell for an adult vacation. Sounds fun! I just want to say Happy Birthday to the a wonderful mom and incrediable women! I love you so much!

Rodeo Royalty

Maddy tried out for Miss Draper - Rodeo Royalty 2011.

Maddy is such a sweet girl who has such a great spirit about her. She worked so hard and did a great job preparing for this. She and her mom, Lisa made her dress! Maddy designed it, Lisa put it together and Maddy did the finishing touches with all the bling! Without playing favorites I really think Maddy was by far one of the best. She did great in her interview, her speech and during her routine with her horse. She didn't get crowned or place but the effort she put in and the support she had was amazing! I really hope she tries out for it next year.

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.

HaPpY MoThErS DaY!!

I just wanted to say Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful mothers I know. I have a lot of close friends who I think are amazing Mom's. I want to be a mom one day I just hope to be as great, loving, talented and truly amazing as the women I know. Here's to all of you incredible Mom's out there. Thank you so much all my wonderful friends who have shown me so much love and who have been such great examples of a great Mom. Here are a few very incredible women

All of these women are or have been a big part of my life and have really showed me a lot of love and have been great Mom's.

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!
