Pictures in Review

I had a blast looking over the pictures on my camera. It's new since Christmas and I have yet to download my images. I thought y'all might get a kick out of some of them.

We have entered into the wonderful world of trying not to take over school projects. It didn't work so well. I had fun using my Cricuit for Zac's "100" project. BTW there are 100 butterflies that Zacory stamped on the poster.


I had to reign Chris in from going way too far with Tyler's favorite animal diorama. He was talking about a fake water pond and putting a hippo half sinking in it. Oh Man! He was getting way too complicated for a KINDERGARTEN project. I think the only thing Tyler did on this one was paint the bright purple, orange and green lions the brownish color.





I realized that both of us need to take a step back and allow Zac and Tyler to do their own projects and gently direct them instead of taking over the project.








Zacory's baptism was great. I'm happy to actually have these pictures. In the rush to get out the door at 9:00am Saturday morning, I forgot my camera. That's what I get for not getting my things together the night before.


Aren't my boys just handsome?

It was a really special day and I was so grateful for all the family and friends that were there to share in Zac's baptism.

On a special note, Heidi Mock was baptized the same day. Amber, her mom, has been my constant Visiting Teacher since I've lived in the ward, going on 3 years.




Afterward, we returned home to eat scrumptious fixin's. I caught Sami looking so cute in this magicians top hat.
Our trip to Mazatlan was nice and relaxing. We are very blessed to have Chris employed at an office that does these "reward" trips. Otherwise we wouldn't go anywhere. We had a wonderful time exploring, sitting on the beach, and deep sea fishing.


Every time the fishing line would snap, we'd get all excited that we had actually "caught" the big one. Chris did a fantastic job reeling in the not so big one.


I may have only been a about a foot long, but it was the biggest fish Chris has caught to date.


The highlight of the whole off shore excursion was watching a pod of dolphin swim in the wild. There were about 200 and we think they were teaching their children to jump out of the water. It was quite the sight to behold. They are such beautiful animals and so so smart. They would come right up to the side of the boat and swim right next to us. I could see them through the water and could almost reach out and touch them.




We had such a wonderful time and had a great room. We were positioned right over the beach and could see the sunsets from out balcony. It was just beautiful and peaceful.

There are so many more I'd like to share, but that's all the time I have right now. I hope you enjoy this little look into our good times.
