So I totally forgot I had a blog!!

Chanel & I were lucky enough to go on a 9 day cruise over Thanksgiving!! Sadly Tyson couldn't get work off :(
Here are some highlights from our trip! This was my first cruise and I loved it!! I ate way to much food & had too much fun!! We set sail on the Royal Caribbean international cruise ship. We stopped at the following places: Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Manzanillo, Ixtapta and Puerta Vallarta. Chanel loved every minute of it and still ask me everyday if she can go back to Mexico on the cruise ship. :)

Chanel is one lucky girl!! She got to swim with the dolphins in Mexico!!

Look at how many kids can fit in the back of this van!! Chanel had so much fun with all her cousins!! Do you think we have enough girls?? Here are the ages of the little girls:
Chanel -2,Kennedy 3, Ashlynn 3,Crystal 3, Rylee 4, Kaitlyn 6. They had so much fun together!! I think we may have scared everyone else away with our big group!! (we also had a 1 year old boy not pictured)
Logan & Cheyenne were so kind to bury Jacob.
Cutest Lion cub ever!!


Chanel & Grandma


Chanel & cousin's Crystal & Ashlynn

Just because I love her SOOO much :)

This is it

I loved it! I can't believe Michael Jackson, at 50 years old, still has the moves and the voice! His dance moves were awesome and his vocals were still perfect! I am sad he's gone. My favorite songs were Thriller, They Don't care about us and smooth criminal. :) Everyone should go see it!

LOL) Mickey Mouse club house, she loves the Zoo and always talks about the animals, going on golf cart rides with Grandma & Papa, She loves cooking in her kitchen and has set up cooking station all over my house.

Just another day in Paradise

Here is Paradise!! Tyson's Grandma Susy has this very cute historic house. It has been restored because it's around 100 Years old!! It has a bed and breakfast feel to it and the rooms are decorated with an antique feel :) I forgot to take picture's of the rooms--maybe next time :) We always get to go to paradise over conference weekend and I am always excited to go! Chanel was especially excited because she understood this time. She had so much fun hanging out with her cousins and was sad to leave Paradise.

So we went up to Paradise for conference weekend with Tyson family. We had so much fun and a much needed break from reality. Chanel loved hanging out with her cousins too.

Boy or Girl??

We will be finding out if it's a boy or girl next Wednesday! We are SO excited! I seriously can't wait. Anyone have any baby gender prediction methods that have worked for them? Let me know :) I would love to hear some stories.... I can't wait to start picking out a name! YEA!
