Easter Eggs & Rockets 2012

For starters, we got another rabbit on Saturday. We are now the proud owners of a boy & a girl Netherlands Dwarf bunnies. We are hoping that they will have super cute and tiny babies that we can sell on KSL (or give away to anyone interested.) However, before we let the mating begin we thought it appropriate to hold a wedding ceremony. I printed out a few words and Afton read them out loud. After reading "With absolutely no authority at all, I now pronounce you married rabbits" we all cheered, clapped and then gave the bunnies some much needed privacy.








When we held a little photo shoot on the stairs with Sophie and Ellie. This is how it went...I take a picture while they are hamming it up. Ellie says "I want to see." The girls go crazy seeing their picture. Ellie says "Again"...rinse and repeat. It was super cute. I think I took 6 or 7 pictures of them. I love this one because Ellie is having the time of her life and Sophie is cheering.

Time to gather all the candy.

Easter Egg Hunt



We had a whole bunch of rockets this year. It took a while to launch them all. But we were very pleased, and surprised, to see all our rockets make it back. And...none of them are beyond repair. Sweet!



Just hangin' out watching rockets...

Pacific Playland aka Planet Play

Yesterday we went to Planet Play in Draper with Sam, Massiel, Sophie, Price, Cyndi & Porter. We got a great deal off KSL for it. It was only $39 for 4 buffets, $60 in arcade money, and 8 attractions (we spent all our attractions on the Go Karts.) We ended up staying there for just over 3 hours.


Sophie wasn't anywhere near tall enough to ride in the go Karts. But the 2 running the Karts happened to be 2 high school boys. They gave us a booster seat and off we went.


Nothin' like a little DDR.


I'm pretty sure Porter gave Cyndi plus 10 to shooting power.


I'm sorry this picture is a little blurry. But I just thought it was so cute to see Sophie's little head next to Sam driving.



More Go Kart fun.


Here is Devan putting his wood splitting ability to good use.


Such a cute little family.


I didn't do any better mini bowling then I do real bowling.


Price and Devan doubling up on an arcade game to earn more tickets.




It's official. Devan captured this video of me and all my craziness. I can longer claim to be a sane individual :)

More Cruise Pics

Mexican Cruise 2012

Well, we just got back from our relaxing Mexican cruise. It was a much needed break away from everything. It was kind of like a 2nd honeymoon. It's hard to pick out the pictures that I like the best. Here we go:

The day we got on the ship was the super bowl. Here is how you watch the big game on a cruise ship...on the big screen.


It was little cold the first day at sea but I was desperate for some sun. Devan on the other hand was doing everything he could to avoid it.


This was on our first formal night at dinner.


Our ship had a water slide on it. Devan and I were able to squeeze in between kids for a chance to try it out. The water was salty and the joints were a little off and hurt our backs...oh well...it was still fun.


It also had a miniature golf course.


Our 2nd day in Cabo we took a water taxi out to the famous rock formations. We spent some time at lovers beach, saw some seals and colorful fish.


Puerto Vallarta was beautiful. In many ways it reminded me of Guatemala. We found an amazing tour guide and an awesome family to pal around with. We went zip lining...but we couldn't take our cameras so here we are after the fact.


Here is Devan standing in front of the Los Arcos in Puerto Vallarta. Don't you just love this picture of him. I do.


Next to the beach in Puerto Vallarta.


Okay, last picture. We asked to be put at table with other people for dinner. We were so lucky because ended up sitting next to some amazing people. We're already facebook friends with a couple of them.
