The Cruise

In October I planed a cruise for my mom!! We left out of Long Island and went to Catalina Island and Ensenada! We had 16 adults and 12 kids in our group!! 5 out of my moms 6 sibling came and 3 of her 4 kids!!! It was awesome!! It will be a memory we will all remember for a very long time!! Coleman was asked in primary where he likes to go and he answered three months later, "to the cruise!!"

The four of us getting on the plane! The kids did so great!!

Getting ready to take off!

Getting on the ship!! How exciting!!

Dang that kid is cute!! He and his cousin Andrew were inseparable!!

We had an hour to kill before dinner one night so we decided to play sardines!! This was taken while waiting for Riley to hide!!!

Daddy and Coleman being silly as always!!

Lots of fun at dinner!! It was fun seeing the crazy side of my aunts as they danced around the dinning room!!

In Ensenada with the Mexican flag behind us!!!

Us on stage with my sister and my niece Riley!

Rikki and Daddy just chillin'!

This is just our little family!! My oldest brother Mark, his wife Krissy and there 7 kids, my sister Wendy and here husband Nate and three of there 4 kids, my parents and the 4 of us!! What a group!!

These two boys were hilarious!! They were always doing something funny!!

Daddy patiently teaching how to putt!!

Kids playing on the beach in Catalina while the older ones snorkeled!!

GIANT SEAGULL!!! Look out kids!!

Here they are being silly again!! They had done this on there own and came and asked me to take a picture!! So funny!!

At Lovers Cove with all the kids!!

There's our ship in the background!!

Oh my I could eat this girl up!! She is just the cutest little thing ever!

She was such a trooper!! She didn't mind the stroller at all! She would just find her thumb and fall asleep!!

Of course this was one of the favorite sites!! He would scoop up a bunch of bubbles and put them on his face then run out to the shower just by the hot tub and wash them off! In and out I don't know how many times!!

Cute boys!!!

We had so much fun!! I am so glad everyone was willing to do this for my mom!!

We love you mom!!

WHAT AN AMAZING MEMORY!!

Summer Fun!!!

SUMMER!!!! I can't believe that its over but WOW it was fun and full!!!

Coleman is so funny!! In nursery they were taking pictures and when they told him to say cheese this is what they got!! multiple times!!!

What a goofball!!!

At the Real game for Byron's birthday!!

All of us at Governor's day at Camp Williams!

My smiley little girl!!

He got to shoot a b.b. gun!!! He hit the target a couple of times with daddy's help!!

Making funny faces at the camera!!

Suiting up for the zip line!! I really can't believe he went on this!! He stood in line watching everyone else go. So I thought when they started gearing him up that was when he would start to panic but no.

Byron getting geared up!

Then they had him up and hanging for a couple of minutes while they got Byron hooked up and still I waited!!! But he was fine the whole time and even gave a waaaaahhoooooo on the way down!! It was so cute!!!

They had this huge bouncy obstacle course that Coleman would have stayed on the whole day had we let him!!!

Video games at Boondocks!!

Camping out in the front room with Daddy. Coleman wasn't loving it as much as we thought he should. I decided that Forced Family Fun is never fun for mom and dad!!!
