April 2013 - Part 3 - St Thomas, Virgin Islands

 I love the ocean!!

 Ferry ride to St John.

 Most colorful buildings I've ever seen!

 Beautiful!

 Love it!

 Man my family is good lookin!!

 Sugar Mill Ruins on St John.  Yeah, you're actually not supposed to climb on them.  Woops.

 Man I love these girls!!

 Rumor that Raena heard was that there was only one cow on the island.  This site surprised her greatly!

 Look at that water!!  Amazing . . .

 Hiking in the tropics!!  Love it!

 Iguanas!  Apparently they're everywhere.  I finally saw one the last day.

 If I have good looks, it's because of this gorgeous woman right here . . .

 Best birthday ever!! 

 Monica and I got to fly home together.  She of course stopped in Florida.  We had so much fun though!!  I got to know her so well on this trip!  We are true sisters now!!  I love this girl!! 

Such a fun trip!!  I'll remember it forever!!

April 2013 - Part 2 - St Thomas, Virgin Islands

I am the luckiest girl in the world for so many reasons, but this month it was because I was able to visit my sister, Raena, in the Virgin Islands with my Mom and Sister-in-law, Monica.  Raena was working for Del Sol at the time.  Thank you Husband for the sacrifices you made to make this possible!  One of the best trips I've ever taken!  And such a beautiful place!!  See for yourself.  Yes, I'm picture happy.  Deal with it.

 I love my Mom!!!!

 I love cliff jumping!!!!

 I love funny expressions!!

 Sunsets by the ocean rock!

 I love chocolate!!

I love Raena!!!

 I love climbing!!  Actually this was a painful experience. But totally worth it.

I love Monica!!  And Mangos.  I think that's what those are.  Thanks Vanna for showing them off. 

 They stole my camera. . . . Good thing they're cute!

 Yes we played catch!!  And loved it!!  Actually I think this was Monica's way of telling me to put the camera down and come play.

 I love my sisters!!

April 2013 Part 1

 Slip N Slide fun in our back yard.  The kids loved it!  We were thoroughly entertained watching them go crazy. 

 As you can see our husbands were so excited to watch their kids play.

 Best of friends.  From the left: Kyler, Caleb (next door friend), Kade, Ryan, Maddy (next door friend).

 Kade loves playing in boxes.  That's all I can say.  Oh, and he's so stinkin cute when he does.

 This was our last girls night out with my friend Alia before she moved.  Our group is dwindling.  I'm not helping either, since we move to Utah in June.  From left to right: Kendra, Steph, Cristy, Alia, Meghan, Eevi (our friend Natalie couldn't make it, we missed you Natalie!)  This was such a fun night!  I love these girls so much!!  I will treasure memories I made with them forever!

 This was another girls night we had.  These are all of my closest ward friends.  We had so much fun!  We laughed and almost cried.  It was a great time!  I will miss all of these girls as well.  Man I have so many awesome friends down here.  It makes it incredibly hard to leave!

This is Jenni, she put the whole night together, hosted at her house, and made most of the food.  A few others brought stuff too.  All the food was soooooo delicious!  Thanks to Jenni and all my friends, I'm so lucky!!

From left to right:  Cristy, Beth, Yvonne, Tricia, Steph, Jenni and I'm laying across the front, because I'm crazy.

This was the night Kyler received his bobcat badge.  I'm so proud of him, he's loving Scouts so much already and doing very well.  I'm sorry for such dark pictures.  The gym floor was being refinished in the church building so we got booted to the outside.  Not so great for good pictures.
