Our weekend at Home

For a change we were in St. Louis for the weekend w/ no plans!! Friday night we went and watched Corey play football again.

Saturday was "Fall Cleaning"...kind of anyway. I cleaned out the storage area downstairs (and did a pretty good job) and John re-caulked the bathroom. Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it???

note: all of the boxes in the left corner are Christmas decorations!!!

Sunday we went to church and then I came home and reorganized the kitchen....just to see this that evening when I went in there.

After church playing w/ my new camera.

Apparently John put some dish soap on a pan to soak and then put in in the dish washer. The extra soap caused extra bubbles all over the floor! We laugh now.

And this is was J.J. did all weekend. We don't now what, but he enjoys laying on his back quite often!!

More Pictures to make you Jealous!

I got the underwater camera developed from Snorkeling and Parasailing in Cancun. Here ya go! They need to make more attractive snorkeling gear.

This is John's attempt at taking a pic of me.

And me!

Now - I also found a random roll of 35mm film that I needed to develop. So here are some memories. The first is from Nikki & Brandon's Shower in November of '05! And one of Matt playing ball at some point.

Jessica, Me and Jennifer

The girls from High School - minus Andrea.

Matt playing ball - I think in Georgia.

Eli's 1st Bday Party

We went to Nashville Saturday to celebrate Eli's 1st birthday! There were tons of people there and I took tons of pictures of course. So there are a lot below, but that is b/c I couldn't decided which ones to put on here.

The cake that my aunt made!

How cute is this birthday boy???
All the people...there were tons!!

Me and the bday boy! He loves his Aunt WesWee.

Eli and Hailey, my cousin.

He loved kicking the balloon around the yard.

Me and Hailey.

My brother gave him a bat and ball from the baseball team he played for this summer.

I don't know what he didn't like here, but it is a cute picture!

Look at those eyes!!

W/ mommy and daddy.

He looks scared of the cake, but he wasn't really.

See what I mean!!

First day in Cancun

Saturday we got up very early in order to make a 7 o'clock flight! As John is pointing out below it is 6:00 a.m. at this time. (by the way...look at how pale I look...not anymore)

Day 2 - Chillaxin by the ocean and pool

Sunday was a day of relaxing (b/c the next 2 days we are going other places). We woke up at our leisure, had breakfast and headed to the beach. The water was so clear and warm. Wonderful...

The view from our chairs. The only thing missing was the pina colada in my hand! :-)

The afternoon in the pool!

So relaxing!!!

The best dinner I had!!!

Back in the room on the balcony.

Day 3 - Fishies, Happy Faces, Photos & Baby Turtles

Monday we had to wake up pretty early to leave for our snorkeling excursion. So, we decided to watch the sun rise. But were disappointed when it was pretty cloudy. I still got a few good shots though. After that we were heading for an adventurous day of swimming with the fishies and flying high with the birdies....
Here we are waiting for the bus.

Getting ready to get on the boat and go snorkeling.

Our sail - it is a smiley face. We didn't even notice until we were in the air.

After flying with the birds.

Our photo shoot before dinner....

I think this is my favorite.

We got to release baby sea turtles in the sea!! The one on the left is Mac and the right is Felix. Wonder where these names came from???
