A Few Extra Kids Hangin around......

We were lucky enough to have our good friends and neighbors come stay with us last week. Repaying a huge debt to the Ranstroms for watching our kids for 9 days (WOWZA)

LEXI+ COLE + 3 extra KIDS + 6 DAYS = FUN (well for the kids anyway)

I'm not going to lie and pretend it was easy, but we sure had a good time. Hunter, Briggs, and Hailey were awesome, and Lexi and Cole LOVED every second of it.....

These guys are as close to family as it gets!

2010 Caribbean Cruise (so many pictures)

...and there you have it.

We cruised with Lane and RaNea this year (dad and mom) to the Eastern Caribbean We saw the most BEAUTIFUL places I had ever been to. We set sail on Emerald Princess, our first time with Princess Cruise Line, first stop Princess Cays (rained the entire time) , second St Marrten, third St Thomas, and last Grand Turk. We had so much fun hanging out at Orient Beach at St Maarten, and went snorkeling in St Thomas, Trunk Bay in St Johns (my very most favorite place.) Then more beach at Grand Turk, and Dustin did a little more freestyle snorkeling. We had perfect weather almost everyday. The aqua blue colored water was so so BEAUTIFUL!!! We got tons of SUN! We shopped a little, ate a lot, read tons, and had such a good time.
