Cruise to Cozumel

Justin and I headed to Cozumel over spring break.  This was another free trip complements of Allconnect, and it was one of my favorites!

Here we are at the opening reception.
 We just love the towel animals!
 The first night we were put at our very own table.  It was quite nice, and we definitely enjoyed it because we knew it wouldn't last.
 The next day we spent at sea, and we pretty much just hung out by the pool, went to the gym, ate some delicious food, and hung out by the pool some more.
Here is the towel animal from that night.
 Our day in Cozumel was amazing!  We rented a jeep with another couple, and we did anything and everything we wanted.  It just doesn't get more beautiful than this...
 We checked out the Myan ruins which were really cool and admittadly, I was a little creeped out.
 Something else really freaky about the Myan ruins were these guys.  Some of them were very large, and they blended in along the paths.  We'd be walking along the paths in the middle of nowhere, worried we were being lured to our death by psychos, and these guys would jump out from under our feet.  I screamed more than once...




 We loved the beach!
 Jen and Paul were way fun!
 Our snazzy jeep...
 We have to get the shot in front of the ship.
 I think I need to start making these animals for the kids when they take baths.  They would love it!
 The award ceremony.
 Another wonderful speech from Justin...
 Dinner on the last day.  I just love eating food I didn't prepare...
We came home from our trip and moved into our new house the very next day.  It was a very eventful week...

Easter

This year, Easter was crazy busy and fun.  These are the fun eggs Justin and I made for Easter breakfast Sunday.  (I just love pintrest ideas.)
 Saturday started out with my nephew's baptism, lunch, and then the annual egg hunt.  Here's everyone waiting to get started...
 Sophie could hardly contain her excitement.
 After some bunny inspiration, the crowd was ready to set out.
 Sophie got way into the hunt this year.

 Katie was into the candy.  We try to keep sugar away from this little thing, but she is absolutely crazy about it.

 Next we headed to Ivins to catch Justin's family party.  We played a peanut sucking game.
 And had another epic egg hunt.


 Katie really only wanted to suck on the eggs.



 

 She only found 5, but she was very happy!
 The grand kids and their spoils.
 Sophie cleaned up this Easter.  She ended the day with almost twenty bucks and more candy than she ever needs.
 It was also Anna's birthday.

 Katie was attacking Daddy because he had ice cream.
 Sunday morning we did bunny prints for Sophie to follow.


Sophie's been wanting Puss n Boots so bad, but we decided to wait until Easter to give it to her.
Katie had to share her basket with Mommy and Daddy.

Some Random Smatterings for Now..

We are finally moved into our house, and we are loving it!  Thank you to all those friends and family who helped.  I am almost done packing; I didn't want it to take longer than a week, but that's how things go sometimes. 

Sophie loves the new house, especially the stairway.  She actually still calls this Jack's house because Jack (our realtor) is always the one to show it to us.  On the plus side, she likes Jack's house more than she liked hers, so we're in good shape.
 Sophie went to play at her friend Kayla's house.  They are such cute little friends.
 Justin's birthday fell on the day we were coming back from Mexico, and then we immediately began moving madness, but I finally was able to take him to Famous Dave's in Las Vegas amidst attending a wedding.
 Sophie being Sophie...
 This is a nest in our ivy outside.  Sophie loves to look at it each day, and she is constantly asking when the birdie will come out.
 Katie came down with chicken pox of all things shortly after we moved.  She was a sad little girl for a little while.  I guess we don't need to finish that vaccination...
