Honduras, the water was sooo clear!

Our room on the ship, we had a visitor each night!

Belize, Central America

Jeff and I went on a cruise for 7 days to the Western Caribbean. By ourselves, no kids! The boys got to spend 13 days at "camp grandma" and had lots of fun!
We flew to Tampa, Florida and had about half a day to hang out there before we headed for the ship. Then, after the cruise, we had 2 days in Florida before heading back to California where we stayed another 4 days before coming home! We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks, a long time to be away from home, but had fun every second!!
Our stops on the ship were Grand Cayman Islands, Belize, Central America and Isla Roatan, Honduras. It was beautiful everywhere we went!! But, our favorite was Honduras! It was so beautiful and the people were so nice! We snorkeled in all three stops, we also kayaked, ate and shopped!!! We had so much fun on our much needed vacation!!
It is so hard to choose pictures to put on here! We took over 700 pictures over the 2 1/2 weeks we were gone! But, here are a few with some spectacular sites we saw as well as a few of us! We also took just under 100 underwater pictures so I will post those when I get them put on the computer! You can also see more pics on my facebook page!
I also want to shout out a big "thank you" to Amy Pratt at ytb travel for all her help planning this trip! Thanks Amy for being a great travel agent and friend!!

Memorial Day Fun

We had a fun Memorial Day! Some good friends of our had a Bar-b-que. We hung out at their house, had yummy food, the kids jumped on the tramp, caught horny toads and lizards behind their house and played on the Rhino! Erin even drove the Rhino - A new wish list toy!!! We had a fun time with the Sandberg's, Fuchs and Richins. Thanks to Ang and Kyle for hosting!!

Renaissance Fair

On Saturday we went out to the fair grounds for the Renaissance Fair. Ryan spent the day boating with a friend but Tyler, Jake, Jeff and I went to the fair. We hung around a bit and the boys had fun with the archery, rope making and the jousting show. They even got some souvenirs!

Kindergarten Program

Jacob had his Kindergarten Program today! It was very cute. They each could dress up as what they want to be when they grow up, if they wanted to. Jacob decided he wanted to be an athlete. So, he borrowed Tyler's football jersey and had to get the black under his eyes cause he said that's the way the Charger's do it! Can you tell my favorite NFL team?? haha So, now that was my last child to go through Kindergarten. It's a bittersweet feeling! But, I am so proud of Jacob!

Happy Easter

We had a fun day today for Easter! We ate a yummy dinner at Grandma Brenda's house with Grandma Great, Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Don and the boys swam and played! The Easter Bunny made a hit this morning with some fun Army stuff and of course candy for the boys! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Track Meet

Yesterday was the school track meet! It was lots of fun. All the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders competed. Tyler ran in the 100, 400 and 800. He did well considering he still had stitches in between his big toe and second toe! He said by the 2nd time he ran, it started hurting and you could tell from his facial expressions that was true!! Overall, he and all his friends did a super job!

A furry friend! Yikes!!

This afternoon we discovered a little visitor at our home. He was up above the front door up in the corner of the stucco. It was a bat!! My boys, of course, thought it was cool! Ryan even wanted scouts to come over and see it. He stayed there all day and when we got home after dark, he was gone. I was happy about that, the boys not so much. It was cool to look a though, from a distance! The boys can't wait to wake up in the morning and check outside to see if he is back :)
