Cruisin to Mexico 2010
In April D and I got to go w/ 14 of our besties on a Carribean Cruise to Cozumel...It was GLORIOUS!!!! Seriously the best vacation I've ever had! It was so nice to have so much quality time w/ Hubbs! I loved every minute of it! The best part?....The crackberry stayed home!!!! It was AAAAAAMMMMAAAAAAAZZZZZZIIIINNNNGGG!!!!! I don't think I've seen D this relaxed since well....EVER!!! I would highly reccomend cruising as a vacation.

Bests:
-Never having to pull out your wallet (I think hubbs liked this the most!):)
-Food 24 hrs a day including room service
-Tons of entertainment options i.e., karaoke, dancing...oh the dancing!!!, miniature golf, shows, water slides
-game nights...we'd meet up in the dining hall and push tables together and play games all night

Worsts:
-Food was less than stellar....I didn't go in thinking that it would be the best so it was fine.
-Sea sickness..man I had it BAD!!! Next time I'll definitely get the patch!
-The ship listing...not so fun...thank goodness it happened on our last full day at sea. While it was very scary, less than an hour later I was learning to line dance w/ the girls on stage..so needless to say the party was by no means over!

Some of the highlights......

My toesies chillin on the beach in Cozumel...Glorious!!!

Dark Chocolate Molten Cake w/ vanilla ice cream
While the desserts were not so stellar...this was pretty good and I ate it every night!


More food...so much food around that by the end I was sick of seeing so much food!


Our ship in Cozumel


Lots of this went on...I'm just sayin..:) No I don't usually kiss w/ my eyes open but I was attempting a FB like shot..lol


This is the sunset we watched our last night on the ship...So romantic!


This is an actual pic I took of our Cozumel beach resort. We opted to go to a place called Nachi Cocum. It's a private beach club that was a 10 min. taxi ride from the port. So worth it! All the reviews for this place were great and it didn't dissapoint! It was everything we wanted...private (no spring breakers!), beautiful pool and beautiful beach. We enjoyed jet skiing and a couples massage (AMAZING!!!) while we were there and lunch. Couldn't have asked for a better day! Just the two of us....my favorite day of the whole trip!
We LAUGHED a lot, we DANCED a lot, We ATE a lot, We SLEPT a lot.....Mexico...We MISS you...A LOT!!!!

23 days!..That's all we have left till I'm sailin away to pinacoladaville!! ( The non alchy kind of course!) I am starting to miss the babies all ready though..:( I hate leaving them but D and I definitely could use the time alone...well..if you can call vacationing w/ 12 of your besties "alone" time! I'm sure we'll figure somethin out!;)

P90x is kicking my tail! I love it! I am so sore but in a really good way! I don't know that I'll end up with a ripped "beach body" but I know I'll end up with a better beach body than I would have with out it!

Last night we did Kenpo and man was it fun! M and I were drenched at the end! It went by so fast because I was having so much fun! I forgot how much I love kick boxing! We rocked it..

P.S...I got into the swimsuit I couldn't get into last summer! Woot! Woot!:)

Hastas Pastas!

I hurt in places I didn't know could hurt or existed...I want to throw up...or die...or both. I have been doing P90x w/ M and Beez and MAN! It's Carazzy! I feel so great though and it has been really fun to work out again. We are on our second week and to be honest, I'm shocked I made it through the first day! Woot! Woot! For anyone wondering...I highly recommend this work out! D asked his friend who's a personal trainer if he'd heard anything about this program and he laughed and said "It's the workout I do!" haha...so he bought it and here we are!


P.S....Plyometrics is SOOOOO hard but Soooooo GOOD!:) Is anyone else P90xers?...

D was taking my car to T-ball so I asked him to put Baby B's car seat into A's car while I finished dinner so it would be ready when we got home. (I was taking K to her open house) This is what I found when I got outside....



There are no words...

Soccer Madness! J started soccer last Saturday and oh it was so fun! I love watching the kids when their having so much fun! J L-O-V-E loves soccer and this was an early game! We had to be there at 7:30 in the morning! Anyone who knows me knows I am not a morning person! It was so worth it though! Go Spartans! Not that it matters but they did win:)!

My Jizzle w/his after game snack


Warming up before the game! Go #9!

Busy Busy.....


So it's been caaaaraaazy around here!!! Our schedule has been insane lately and is about to get worse! I figure if I can squeeze in an update at least once a month, I'm doing great! Here's what we've been up to lately....

Mr. Man: Busy! Work is keeping him so busy! I'm grateful he at least can work from home at times so I at least get to see him! Of course he makes sure to squeeze in some time for basketball! He's busy coaching little man's t-ball team (Yankee's...go figure!:), helping w/ D's baseball team and taking J to soccer and football! Whew...it exhausts me just to type it!

Mama: Busy! Busy! I have my hands full w/ baby B, Little man and the rest of the monkeys. Our house is constantly bustling with activity! I feel like I'm constantly running, picking up, dropping off, squeezing in...and all the other things it takes to make this house run! Mama's need assistants!

K: My baby girl is growing too fast! She'll be 12 this year and I can't believe it! She's getting ready to start Volleyball this month and she couldn't be more excited. She keeps busy w/ school, roller blading w/ her friend L (so fun that she lives 4 doors down!), reading and running her brothers all over the place!

Little D: He just started Baseball and is loving it! He is so much like his daddy! He is so kind and sweet. With wrestling season over, he's enjoying more time for his other loves...baseball, football, socializing....um..the apple didn't fall far from the tree..:)

J: He is sooooo glad wrestling is over! He is so excited to start soccer and man has it been fun watching his games! He scored 2 goals last week! I guess I am a proud mama! J is our ladies man. He is so charming! It is the cutest thing! He always notices when you look nice and is so generous with compliments. What a sweet boy!

Little Man: He's so excited to start T-ball! He's having fun and I'm excited to see my little artist up to bat! He goes to the greatest preschool M-W-F from 9-2 and love it! He loves his teacher Ms. S and so do I! He comes home all tuckered out from his studies (girls) and usually needs a nap before dinner!

Baby B: My sweet boy! He turned 1 and seems to be on fast forward lately. He is walking and all over the place! His personality is really coming out and man is he sassy!!! I really enjoy the time we get together during the day and it's a treat to have 1 at home for a change. He really looks forward to M coming home though and misses him when he's gone:(.

We have had a lot of moving ins around here and we couldn't be happier! A & B came from UT a few weeks ago and are staying with us until they get settled. It's been so great having them here! The kids love having them around and they are so helpful. I have loved being able to take care of my sis (bun in the oven:) and B is such an awesome uncle! With my brother M here, it's just a great big party all the time! I love it!
