A little cuddle time

We had so much fun this Labor Day up at Bear Lake with our friends. We made some of the best friends when we lived in Lansing, MI. I'm happy to say that we are still hanging out after all the moves. We all make time for each other and try to see each other as much as possible. It's sometimes hard to coordinate our schedules, in the end we get together and have the best times. We took tons more pictures (click here to see). I just love these guys. Every single person bring so much to our little group with absolutely NO drama and I feel so blessed to have them in our lives and for the opportunity to call them our friends. We love you guys and can't wait for the next trip! Brett and Camille...Next time for sure!

Mexican Riviera Cruise

Okay, I know this is a lot of pictures, but we had a lot of fun. If you need to see any more click on the picture on the right.

Casting off from Los Angeles

A dog made out of towels...and Steve our room attendant that Coby was going to get "lucky" (i.e. the nighty carefully layed out on the bed!

The boys entered a "Sexy Leg" contest...and won!! Aren't they sexy or what?? :)

Whit, me and Momma Jo at dinner

We played lots of games! We even learned this one called, "Pit" and due to all the yelling pretty much cleared the game room everytime we played. I don't think they liked us very much...but it's okay we had lots of fun anyway!

Lots of days were spent like this...reading. Many of us reading some portion of the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer. I swore I wouldn't read them, because "everyone" else was doing it...and now I hate to admit it...I'm hooked! I'm on the third one now! I guess there could be worse things to be addicted to.

Shuffleboard was really fun. I don't think I won very often, but that's really not a shocker!! Coby was awesome!

Here is our cruise director, none other than Anna-Lisa Osmond Rich! She was never without the ship itenarary for the day!

On our way to Cabo San Lucas

This was part of Cabo. There were two beaches. The calm beach, the boring beach was called Lover's Beach and the fun, way more exciting, much more dangerous beach on the other side was called Divorce Beach. Coby, Pat, Anna, myself and Ben I think preferred this beach the best...you'll see in a few minutes.


Gateway to the Pacific

Divorce Beach....see what I mean?!!
Ginormous Waves!!
I was trying to save Anna-Lisa
I think this may be Lover's beach...see BORING!!

But still, we had lots of fun!!

The next day we went to a beach in Mazalan. We took a Catamaran, then a tractor ride to Stone Island. At first the weather looked yucky, but it soon cleared up. Coby and I rode horses on the beach. Mine was named "Clown" and Coby's was named "Gringo" and only had one eye. We rode the horses in the rain. It was so fun, I am bummed that we didn't take pictures though. Then we body surfed. The water was so warm. The salt water was brutal on our eyes! Then we had lunch and I couldn't wait to get back on the boat for some tastier food. Then, me, Cob, Ben, Lance and Marse took a banana boat ride behind a boat. I am so glad we didn't fall off because I don't know if the boat driver would have even noticed. He didn't look back once. I held on for dear life while that banana boat bounced us so high in the air I thought for sure we'd all be thrown off. It was a blast and well worth the wait!

Check out that sunset!
This is my favorite picture of Coby and I at sunset!

Doing a little shopping aka bartering!

Mazalan, the tour guide said that two people go in...but three come out! :)

This is Puerta Viarta where they filled the movie Predator with good old Arnold! It was so cool!

There was a rope swing and the boys wasting no time jumping off into the water!

There was even a natural water slide! So fun!
Here's a picture of most of us!

Coby...."bringing sexy back...!!"

Momma Jo just sippin' her Pina Colada...Yummo!

In honor of my 30th birthday I thought I'd be adventurous and try something new. When we got married I told Coby I loved to rock climb. Now I've actually been. :)

Our last over-glutenous meal

Ben's burned belly

One Happy boy because we were finally home

Here's the other one!

Thanks to my mom and dad and Aunt Schlimy for taking care of our babies all week long. We really appreciated it. The boys had so much fun and we were able to enjoy our trip and didn't have to worry because we knew they were in such good hands! Thanks guys! We love you so much.

Thanks again also to the Riches for taking us on this trip. We had a blast! We love you guys!

Raspberry Days

Our booth

Me, Jacee and Whit

This year me, Whit and her cute friend Jacee decided to try our hands out in doing a booth for Raspberry Days up at Bear Lake. It was really fun. We were out in the sun CONSTANTLY and so I got a pretty good flip flop tan line. I did decent in sales with my Moby Wraps and the company was fun, but I think this will be my first and last booth! :)

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

My baby turns 30 today! I know she isn't thrilled about the prospect of hitting the big 3-0, but there is no turning back now. I just wanted to give her a big e-kiss and let her know how much I love and appreciate her as her twenties fade away (Just remember hon, I'll still always be older than you).

These are just a few of the things that I love about you: You are a wonderful mommy to our boys and they love you unconditionally. You are a loving wife who keeps me in line. You always look on the bright side of the situation. You never yell. You always put others feelings ahead of yours. You are more adventurous than you think. You care about being healthy (fyi Tiff is in the best shape she's been in since we were married). You look great. You can laugh at my stupid jokes and you love it. You love my family. You take my breath away. You are my baby and I love you. Happy Birthday Sweetie.

Happy 5 years to us

Happy 5 Year Anniversary to me and Coby! I can't believe that it's been 5 years already. It feels like just a second ago we were getting married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. We were so blessed to have had my grandpa, McKay Burton perform the beautiful ceremony. I remember when Coby and I were planning the wedding, I don't think I was much help. The most important thing had already been scheduled (the actual temple time and date) and the rest...I could care less about. Don't get me wrong I loved everything about our wedding. But I was so excited to be married for all time and all eternity to the man of my dreams. And let me tell you, he is the man of my dreams. He is so wonderful that words can't describe just how lucky I feel every single day because he chose ME. I still sometimes dream that he isn't real and that I just dreamed him up and I get so sad...but then I reach over and there is his hand. And the second I touch his, he grabs my hand with such love that I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Luckily, however, those dreams are less frequent. But I am so happy that I have such an awesome husband.

Because I'm going up to Bear Lake tonight (I'm doing a Booth for Raspberry Days selling my Moby Wraps with Whit and her friend Jaycee), we celebrated last night. For as long as I can remember I have been begging Coby to take me to the resturant Hooters. I know...Hooters?? I've only been there once, but remember thinking that this chicken sandwich was to die for. So finally Coby agreed to take. Suffice it to say, the sandwich wasn't all I had remembered it to be..but we still had fun. Then it was off to the Buckle to try on clothes. They put us in the BIG dressing room. It was lots of fun just hanging out with no grumpy critters. My sweet sister Som, came to the rescue and babysat for us last night. She's the best! Thanks Som.

Happy Anniversary Monster! I love you with all of my heart!!!

Sweet merciful crap, I can't wait...

Coming this November...I can't wait!!!

Playdate

Roxy, Corbin and Daniel

Jackie, getting ready to dive on in...

Mandy and Summer, aren't they cute?!!

Corbin's love, Roxy...

We had a fun time going to the little pool near Mandy's house. Corbin and Roxy always have so much fun together. Infact, we sometimes have to "bribe" Corbin to come to church by telling him that his "Roxky" will be there. Roxy calls Corbin, "Broken". It's funny to hear them talk about the other. Corbin had fun in the pool showing off his mad going under the water skills. We had a little picnic and the kids got tuckered out. It was a really fun day!
