Article of faith 2


On Sunday Lexi had her first experience with helping with closing excercises in church. She was so excited about it we helped her memorize her article of faith - #1. She was eager for more and this week we've been working on the 2nd. Yesterday we were practicing and she insisted she knew it on her own. According to her...


We believe that men will be punished for their own stuff and not for Lemuel's transerfixions.


Pretty close right?

By the way, thanks for all the birthday suggestions. I used your suggestions and a few things I think they'll love!

Birthday ideas?

The girls' birthdays are coming up (actually more than a month away) and I need to figure out what to order for them. There's not much selection here so I'll buy their gifts online. Anyone have some good suggestions for some developmentally appropriate gifts? Kaytlin will be 2 and Lexi will be 4.

Mexican Riviera Cruise

This guy looks like a statue doesn't he? He's real and wanting tips (like everyone else on the beach)

We just got back from our cruise to Mexico! It was a business trip that included a little business and a whole lot of fun. It was us, John's parents, and John's aunt and uncle and 3,000 other people on the Mariner of the Seas. We were in good company and just had a total blast. We flew my mom up to watch our kids, which was nice because we didn't have to worry about the kids at all. Thanks mom! We visited Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta and were lucky to have warm, sunny weather. Here's some of the stuff we did:

played games
swim/tan on the beaches
tour the Sea of Cortez on a "glass bottom boat"
para-sailing
zip-lining (ours included a boat ride, army truck ride, donkey ride, repelling down water falls, etc)
jet skiing (John only)
shopping
rock climbing
mini golfing
shuffle board tournament
ice show
singing and dancing shows
dancing
and eating lots of good food

We were having too much fun to take many pictures. But here's a few.
We had a golf tournament one of the days at sea. The major wind and rocking of the ship made this game extra fun!
