i knew maxi was tired but i didnt want him to go to sleep hungry.

It was Fabulous!

We left from Miami.
It was Raining.


This was us at the Deck party.
You know the part when you all go up an deck
and wave with you clean white hankies to
all the (non-existiant) people on the dock who are watching
your boat sail romantically into the distance.

It was windy and cold.
Gross isn't it.


That nightWe did a little karaoke
By this time I was about to puke my guts out!
Turns out I'm allergic to the motion sickness patchesThe next day we did a little golfing.
My ball was behind the rock.
Golf Tip: If you want a good golfing score,
don"t golf on a boat!

We ate an excellent diner that night.
We also went to a show at the Ice skating rink
which was really cool, but we couldnt take pictures.

the next day we were in Cozumel, Mexico.
we went to Tulum, which is an ancient Mayan city.
The next few pictures will be there
From Stephens shirt and Angela's glasses
you can tell it was once again raining.
It was beautiful
and it was wet
later that day we went swimming in the ocean.
(yes it was still raining)

The next day we were in Belize
It was the most discusting beautiful place I have ever been.
the city was gross. the jungle was amazing.
I don't have many pictures from the jungle
because my camera wasn't water proof.
but I will get some soon.

the next day we bumbed around the ship.
Stephen rock climbed.I learned how to fold towel animalsAnd we all ate onion rings while passing Cuba.

the next day we got on a plane and came home.
that was my trip.

the cruise is comming

I am wigging out!
Stephen and I are going on a cruise on the 21st of this month. We are going to Belize and Cozumel. It will be a blast. I will be the only one on the boat, in the tropical weather, in on pants and a shirt. I am going to roast! We paid for the cheapest room, which probably means we will be in bunk beds in the boiler room. We wanted to save the money so we can do some fun stuff. I am so nervous, I hate leaving my kids for so long because i worry, Mom keeps telling me to snap out of it. They will be fine. If i die in a freak dolphin attack, i expect you all to take care of them.
Wish me luck!

Here I am!

Due to the weird series of events i have changed my site and redone everything. I hope you all found me ok. Because it has been months since I last wrote, I'm going to do a quick run down

Stephens mom passed away this November from brain cancer. this on of the last casual pictures we have of her. This is her daughters, by law and naturally, except Kristy and Becky who don't live near by.

we were luckyto find somone who would take this picture for us. It was made by meshing us all together. Everybodys picture was taken individually. I think it turned out good. I was taken about two weeks before Betty died.

we had to switch
