HALLOWEEN

Halloween was so fun this year. It started out with a package from Grandma Hardie. The kids always get so excited when they get a package from Grandma. We then did a trick or treat at Dave's work. The kids got so much candy and they had a lot of fun showing everyone their costumes along with their moves. Then we went trick or treating on Saturday. Here in Utah it is just understood that Halloween is not on Sunday but Saturday. The kids went with their cousins at my parents house. Dave stayed at the house sick with food poisoning. It was bad. Nate also had a fever, but with the help of some children's Tylenol he would not be left behind. We had a lot of fun and now we are loaded up with candy. I love candy!

The kids were so excited about their costumes. We had them a month early and it was always a fun activity to get dressed up.

Paul was a tiger.

He had a good roar to go with his costume.

Nate was super excited to be spider man.

Everybody loved to see his moves.

Dave taught them this song.

Caribbean Cruise Top Ten Highlights #1: THANK YOU!

I feel like I really need to say thanks. Thank you to my parents for planning this cruise and taking us with you. A huge thank you to my grandparents, Grandy and Grandpa Jack, for taking care of our kids so we could go. We had such a great time and thanks to all those who helped it happen.

Sorry about my horrible editing job but I really don't have the time or skills to do better.

Caribbean Cruise Top Ten Highlights #2: Six year anniversary

Dave and I celebrated our six year anniversary while we were on the cruise. They even decorated for us.

At dinner we were treated with live music and a cake.

It was perfect for us to celebrate our marriage while on this cruise. For the previous three years Dave had been doing MBA night school on top of his full time and demanding job. In other words we did not get to spend much time together during those years. It was so nice that during this week we were able to spend all our time with each other and have so much fun! The week after the cruise we would go to Dave's graduation and school would be over! I was so happy because this cruise felt like such a wonderful and important turning point in our lives.

We had a lot of fun at dinner enjoying some very nice meals.
It was fun being on the sea where we couldn't see any land.

The snorkel ling was really fun and spectacular.

The diving skins we wore were so cute!

At sting ray city the water was so warm and full of beautiful fish and sting rays.

We visited some of the most beautiful places and it was great being able to do it together.

I love you Dave!

Caribbean Cruise Top Ten Highlights #3: Hidden Worlds

On our stop in Cozumel, Mexico, we caught a taxi to the Hidden Worlds park.

We got on one of their trucks and began to wind our way through the jungle. On this ride we had to hold on real tight or we would have fallen off the truck! It was a crazy but fun ride.

I think these trucks were specially made for the bumpy terrain.
We then got on these bikes that hung from a line that went through the jungle.

We had great views from the top of the trees.

We even biked through some caves.

We then went on a zip line. Here is Aubree screaming.



Then we repelled through a hole in the ground that opened up into a large cave.

The cave had water in it and we also did another zip line from ground level into the water of this cave.

Here is Aubree screaming again.

Then we snorkeled in the cave and saw some real neat fish and rock formations under the water.

Me and my hubby having a great time!

At this park there were people from all over the world that worked there. It is sort of an unknown place. I think we were the only ones from our ship that went to this place. We sure had a blast.
