We spent alot of time swimming in the family pool in sunny Southern Utah.

My Summer with the Fam

2008-08-17T17:39:00.000-07:00

My husband, Brianna, Nathan and I took a 3 week vacation to the west. We spent a week and a half in St. George, Utah (where my mom and brother's family live), a week in California (where my hubbie's family lives), and 3 days in Vegas. We had so much fun. Telegraph Hill is in the distance of this pic. We spent a day at Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf. After all of the times I've been to San Francisco, I should have learned my lesson and know that no matter what time of year it is, it is never a good idea to wear shorts in the city. We froze our butts off!

Birds Gone Wild

2008-08-14T18:07:00.000-07:00

We went to the Dallas World Aquarium this summer. We had a wonderful time. The best part, by far, was the rainforest with the birds (at the very top). We saw . . .

the safe (see the little penguin under Celeste's hand?),

the wild,

and the just plain cute! We had a great time!

The Royal Palace in the center of Budapest makes a beautiful skyline.

Budapest, Hungary is a beautiful city! Here I am at the Chain Bridge, that separates Buda from Pest across the Danube River.

Catalina's summer with Alicia

I spent my summer having fun with my daughter Alicia, watching her grow and learn... :) She's already 10 months. She's a very happy baby and makes me very happy!!

Cruise

2008-08-03T18:20:00.000-07:00

In June, Randy and I went on a 7 day cruise to Jamica, Grand Cayman Island, and Cozumel. We had a great time.

Here we are at formal night.

This is in Jamica. We took a 4x4 tour that went into the mountains.
In Grand Cayman, we went to a Sea Turtle farm and swam with the sting rays.

In Cozumel, we went to Tulum to check out the Mayan ruins. This was my favorite place and picture of the trip.

My husband and I just got back from 7 days in Cozumel!! It was amazing and very relaxing!!
We ate SOOOO much!! The food was good for the most part, when I knew what I was eating (some things looked a little funny, but I still ate it)

This is the Resort we stayed at, El Cozumeleno!

San Antonio

2008-07-19T14:03:00.000-07:00

All I have to say is that a 7 1/2 month old does not do so well in caves and hotel rooms. We decided to visit Natural Bridge Caverns on our way to San Antonio. All was well until we got to the bottom of the cave some 185 feet below ground. Logan decided to pitch the biggest fit he has ever had. I decided to take him out of the cave and leave Tony and Ryan to enjoy the rest of the tour. I thought they would escort me out. No, they just told me to follow the path out by myself. A bit scary to say the least. So I carried a 19 pound screaming baby up hill for 1/2 a mile in 99% humidity. I am still having nightmares of the situation. Ryan enjoyed the cave and did the zip line. The remainder of the trip went well and we got to see all the cool animals at Sea World.

I am thrilled to be joining the Schulze team this fall as Assistant Principal. This summer I traveled to Detroit, MI where my son competed in the Junior Olympics. After that we went over to Chicago for some sightseeing.

New Orlean, LA

2008-07-17T11:19:00.001-07:00

My summer started with visit from my grandma who lives in New Jersey! While she was here my mom, grandma, and I decided to take a road trip to New Orleans, Louisiana.

We stayed in the French Quarters and did lots of shopping and tried on tons of crazy hats and masks!

I made a new friend too!

My husband and I also bought our very first house! I will have to put pictures of that up later though because my camera is not being very nice today...

2008-07-16T20:38:00.001-07:00

Okay, here are some other pics from our summer! We took a small trip to Waco so we could say we went somewhere, but didn't spend a fortune.

Relaxing

2008-07-13T20:22:00.000-07:00

Ryan and Logan started off their summer by relaxing in the hot tub down on the coast. I on the other hand have been finishing up my last classes for my masters degree.Yeah, I am done for good Aug 8. We are off to Sea World this week. Hope to have some good pics of that.

I danced with my precious princess and played baseball with Matthew. Pictures of that to come.
We have been remodeling our game room...ripped up the carpet, painted the concrete and have redone the whole room! Amanda didn't know she had such a "handyman"!

Hey Liz, I thought I was the Diva and you were the Goddess?! I have done a whole lot of nothing so far. Just what I wanted to do. Thanks for putting this together, great job missy!

New Addition to our family

2008-06-23T12:36:00.000-07:00

We are so blessed! My little nephew Blake Joseph was born Wednesday, June 18th weighing in at 7 pounds on the dot! He was welcomed by 2 little sisters, Campbell and Addison. Campbell fell in love with him immediately! Addison decided she better get her bluff in quick and promptly slapped in the face! (very softly) She now loves him and is constantly telling us to go see baby brudder!
