bundle up going to church!

Some photos of some of the girls at church- we all had Christmas/Winter colored coats on- that calls for photos! It sure helps to have hot friends-

Out with the old- In with the new. HAPPY 2010!

New Years this year was a great festive celebration thanks to the party as Aunt Jackie's house filled with food, games, laughs, remembering memories.

Jenn, I'm sure you're mad at me for posting this! This was during our clue game and I think the picture reflects how fun we are! :)

Playing with Sadie- she stayed up past 1am! 2 year old what?!

Celebrating with a little "bubbly"

My brothers and I waiting for the countdown.

being goofy- hmmm...imagine that.

What would a family get together be like without at least one picture of Kylee and I.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

All I wanted for Christmas this year was some good quality time with my family, especially my little Sadie Marie- we had a great time being together!

UTAH!

For those of you who don’t know, Reed plays football for Snow College in Utah. We had the opportunity to fly to Utah in Sept to be in the stands for one of Reed’s games- oh how we love cheering for Reed!! This year the whole family got to go- Dad, Mom, Adam, Jenn and Sadie! We had a blast cheering for Reed and hanging out together- it’s always so much fun and never long enough! Sadie loved cheering “GO REED GO!”- she loves her Uncle Reed, it’s just adorable!

Reed, Sadie and Adam after his game

After the rest of the family left on Sunday, Reed and I got to spend some time together on temple square- I love temple square so much, and loved that I got to be there with Reed!

Saying goodbye :(

Zak, Noelle, Emrie, Adam, Jenn, and Sadie
Zak and Adam have been friends for a long time- like pre-mission days for Zak at BYU-I. Noelle and Jenn were roommates at BYU-I. Funny how things work out!

There he is- #90!!!

How precious is this?

OUR #90!

Viva La CANCUN!

VIVA LA CANCUN BABY!

Despite the swine flu scare- 4 of us decided to take our vacation to CANCUN in May! We stayed at the Casa Magna Marriott resort- absolutely beautiful! I WILL be returning to Cancun someday soon, and will stay at the Casa Magna.

This is the view from the road- as we're pulling up to the Casa Magna Marriott resort!

This is our lobby! When we checked in, we were the only guests in the whole resort!

This is the view from the back of the resort

This is the view from our balcony- breathtaking!

Our last night in Cancun, we decided to splurge and eat at a really nice steak and seafood restaurant (the name escapes me!). The food was fabulous! For dessert they brought out cotton candy-I've never seen that for dessert before-we had fun with it :)

We spent some time at the ruins in Tulum- what an amazing place! We all felt such a great spirit there.

We heard a couple people in Cancun talk about how good the "Shrimp Bucket" is, so we decided to try it out. The verdict? It's good, not as spectacular as people were making it sound, but good!

What would a vacation in Cancun be without a little relaxation time laying out by the pool or the ocean?

Sit back and enjoy!

We took a day trip to an island off of Cancun (Island of the Women) to go snorkling and walk around the island to experience "life on the island."

Here we are on the island

Dax, thrilled about being on the island!

Here I am snorkling

We're on the boat ready to hit up some snorkling.

This is what you call a little "Dax Fun" in the pool!

interesting creatures

Some pictures from Tullum

This place is absolutely beautiful!

Ater a day of exploring the island complete with an adventure of snorkling, here we are on the ferry ride back to Cancun.

Another view from our balcony.

Cancun was amazing! The people are so kind and generous and the weather could not have
been any better. We enjoyed great sites, great food, a great resort, overall great fun! I can't wait until I can return to Cancun where more adventures await me!
