Welcome to Miami!


We just got back from a cruise! We went Miami, then Key West and Cozumel!




We went with Kev's brother Steve his wife Holly, and then met up with my brother Brad and his wife Jen. The whole trip was so awesome!!


This is us in the airport waiting for our flight. We grabbed a Quizno's. Kev thought he was funny and put a piece of the wrapper on his tooth. I think it looks like he chipped it. He cracks me up! (Check 1st picture)


Steve and Kev being entertained by a movie


Holly and I on the plane ride to Miami.


Steve and Holly at dinner. Such a cute couple, don't cha think!?


Brad and Jen... I love these guys!


Our room!

Dinner... we are such dorks! I promise I am having fun! Sometimes my serious face just makes me look mad! Not the case!


All of us (minus Holly- taking the picture) standing on the pier at Key West. You can see our ship in the background.


Parasailing!!! Sooooo amazing! Highly, highly recommend it!

We went so much higher than I expected! The boat looked tiny from way up there!

There were these super yummy key lime pies covered in chocolate! You could buy them all over the place. So good! Kev and I got one to share, it was hard to share!!

Key West... the southern most tip of the U.S.



We rented these scooters! We had a blast riding them around! They are the best way to get around town there, for sure!
Checking Holly's teeth for cilantro...we had the BEST fresh salsa in Cozumel I have ever had!

Kev and I on the boat...on the ocean!!!


We went on a snorkeling boat that had a glass bottom so you could see the fish! The water was BEAUTIFUL! Steve went under to pose for a picture.

Mi amigo, Milfred! While everyone else was snorekling (I really don't like to snorkel), I hung out on the boat and had Spanish lessons from Milfred! I learned a ton, I think I would pass Spanish 3 now! He is Mayan and taught me "How are you?" in his language: "Bosh-ko-wall-y". I have no idea how to spell it, but that's how it sounds! I think I had more fun than those out getting stung by jelly fish! (Yup, they all came back stung! Sorry guys!)


Holly and I at the Pier in Cozumel
K, this night was a little ridiculous! I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but between Kev and Steve, there are 8 desserts!!! Yum... and Yuck!

This is Jen holding a bouncy ball. Believe it or not, this was a huge source of our entertainment on the ship! We found a ton of them in the teenage lounge (more on our level!). We were throwing them all over the place the whole time, but mostly at each other. I got one in the ear, 3 or 4 on the back of the head, and one on the hand (just to name a few). That one hurt the worst! Kev got hit in the mouth and his tooth started to bleed! Yes, easily entertained!


We hit the Sushi Bar as often as we could! Yummm!
To sum it up, we ate a ton, played a ton, and relaxed a ton. All the factors to a fantastic trip!

She's 8!!




I have struggled with when I should make another post (since it's been FOREVER) and decided to just do it! There have been so many huge events that have happened, and I could go back and try and catch up. But that seems a little overwhelming. So, I am starting from now! So here it goes... My Tay is 8! She was baptized this past weekend! It was such a good day. I loved that it was her day and I just got to focus on her. She is AMAZING!! Grandma gave her a book and I watched Taylie walk over to her and say, "Thanks Grandma! I love it! It's so cute!". I didn't even have to do that whole, "K, what do you tell Grandma" thing! She has just grown up so much! I really am a lucky mom!
