So in March, Mike and I got to go on our very first cruise! It was in the Caribbean, we stopped in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. The whole expreience was amazing and almost dreamlike. We didn't have to cook or even make our beds! It was a lot of fun hanging out together, meeting new people, and Mike got to swim with sting rays. It was hilarous watching him from the boat. He would grab a baby squid (what sting rays like to eat) and try to feed them, only to find out they have horrible eyesight. So while Mike was chasing them down, the sting rays were bumping into unsuspecting tourist, freaking them out, poor Mike just wanted to feed them and pet them and he couldn't get close for a while! Finally he was successful. But the whole ordeal reminded me of when Jackson tries to get close to Mike's mom's dog, Heniz. Jackson loves Heniz and chases him all over the house. Heinz wants nothing to do with Jackson, unless he has food of course. So watching Mike chase down these sting rays reminded me so much of Jackson. It was entertaining and cute in a way. It was a quick week and before we knew it, we were back home.

Jackson is starting to say more words. This week he is chatting up a storm about "ora" (aka Dora), "boos" (aka Boots), and lastly "pacpack" (aka Backpack). What a doll!

Savannah turns 6!!!!

On the morning of her birthday we got to make crepes. Her favorite!
Later on in the day we had her party, it was crazy and fun!
We'll post more pics of the girls later.

Mila This Ones For You!!!

So I've never "blogged" before and quite frankly, not sure what to blog about. My life right now seems CRAZY, I feel like I'm going a hundred miles a minute. Oh, did I mention I have kids. Savannah is my sweetheart, she's 5 and just started kindergarten this year. She loves school, which I'm glad about and is doing very well (from what we learned at our first school conference). And Jackson, our son, is equally sweet, but very, very busy. He keeps me on my toes. If he isn't crawling on chairs to get on our dining room table, he's in my cupboard pulling out canned foods. He is so curious about everything, it's fun to watch and exhausting to clean up after. My husband is a pretty busy guy now a days to, he's working really hard at building up clients at work and being our ward's mission leader. I also just got called to the young women's organization at our Church and I am the secretary, it is hands down the most involved calling I've ever had. It's great though, I'm loving all the fun things we get to do and since I wasn't raised in the Church I feel like I'm one of the girls learning all the lessons. It was so funny, Mike and I had an opportunity to go to the Temple with some of the young men/young women, when Mike went to go check in the Temple worker was very confused because Mike's name wasn't on the list and he was mistaken for the youth he had to pull out his Temple recommend card again to show the Temple worker. I teased him the rest of the day that he got "carded" in the Temple. What can I say Mike has been blessed with good genes, he'll probably look 40 when he's 60. I wish I could say the same on my part. So here you have it Mila, I finally blogged!!
