Cucumber Cuties

We had cucumbers for dinner the other night and it started out with Paige stuffing so many in her mouth that she could hardly close it and all the while juice is just pouring down her chin! Now as if that wasn’t funny enough Rory had to get in on the action so she puts them on her eyes and says “look I’m Yzma!” Now for those of you who may not watch Disney movies 24-7 she is the “bad guy” in Emperors New Groove! So needless to say we had a pretty entertaining dinner and who says kids won’t eat their vegetables! (I’m having trouble uploading pictures for some reason so the check out the slide show instead!)

Baja Baby!

Okay here is my review of our first cruise! It was great! We went on a 5 day cruise down the Baja for our 5th anniversary and my youngest sister Joanna and her husband Jared came along for their 1st anniversary/honeymoon since they missed the boat for their honeymoon and didn't get to go!

We left San Diego Monday afternoon and were at Sea all day Tuesday then hit Cabo San Lucas on Wednesday, at Sea again Thursday and Ensanada on Friday then back to San Diego Saturday. It was a lot of fun and can you say FOOD! Seriously I think you could go just for the food and it would be worth it! They say on average a person gains 7 pounds per cruise and I believe it! Tuesday night was formal night where they had a reception to meet the captain but mostly just give everyone the opportunity to get dressed up and take pictures like going to the Prom.

In Cabo we took a catamaran about 8 miles down the coast to a place called Chelino Bay where we went snorkeling. We swam around for about and hour and a half just checking out the sea life it was pretty cool!

Then we got back to the pier and found a guy to "make us fly like a chicken" aka para sailing, that was cool too, not as big of a rush as I thought it might be but still fun! They took us out and we took off siting right on the back of the boat then when the reeled you back in you just sat down on the back of the boat again you didn't ever even get wet!

After that we went into town to eat at Cabo Wabo, Sammy Hagar's (the former front man for Van Halen) restaurant, then walked around town and shopped a bit before heading back to the ship
In Ensanada we took a tour of the Riviera Pacifico which was built in 1932 as a casino and Al Capone was one of the original owners and they had lots of famous people there all the time during its day but the mexican govt. outlawed gambling soon there after and it is used as a civic center now and gambling was just recently allowed again in the last couple years.

Then we went to La Bufadora or the Blowhole, I guess there are only 3 in the world and Ensanada has one of them, it is where the waves rush into a cave and build up air pressure until it can't hold it anymore and then blows like a geyser.

Over all we had a great time and would totally do it again! Next time you all will have to come with us, the more the merrier!

Congratulations Savannah!!!

My oldest niece, Savannah, just graduated from 8th grade! I can't believe she is going to high school already! Time sure flies, Jason & Melissa, you did a good job with her!

Sweet Angel

I know I said my next post would be about the cruise and I promise I will once I get all our pictures organized but I just had to post this in my amazement of the sweet little angel girl I have as a daughter. I was just upstairs helping Rory get ready for bed and she was saying her prayers and these are some of the things she said; I'm thankful for Paige that she could come here as a baby; please help me to grow up big so I can get married and be a mom; Help me to do all of the things that are my size and play with the kids my size; and this is the clincher... (mike's sister and husband have been married for 10 years and haven't been able to have any kids on their own, his sister just recently had surgery and is going to be able to try fertility again the first part of next year but this is what Rory said...) Please bless Cindy and Doug that they can have a baby come to them. When I heard her say that I was almost in tears, I totally got choked up and immediately went downstairs and called Cindy to tell her. We haven't even been talking about them trying to have a baby recently but she is so perceptive and has a special bond with her Aunt CeeCee and I know that you couldn't ask for more then the prayers of little girl like her!
