New furniture!

So I'm exhausted after writing the Cancun travel log, so it might take awhile before I get to the Boise one. Look for it in the near future. Here's a sneak peek of how we felt when we got home.
In the mean time I had to post about our new furniture. It came while we were gone. Thank you Thank you Thank you Liz for being here when it arrived!!! Our room is no longer empty, hooray!

Awwwwww, Cancun!

Doctor and I went to Cancun to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We were able to escape on our own, thanks mom! The weather was gorgeous all week. We flew out of Boise on a Monday morning and were at our hotel by 3:30pm. There was a chocolate cake in our room that said happy anniversary. After the first of many DELICIOUS meals we headed to town to do some shopping. We got back to late to swim, bummer.
Tuesday morning we went to a different resort to hear their membership presentation. Our lady was pretty odd. Long story short, we still aren't members and we walked away with 2 free jungle tours and money for the spa. After the presentation we went shopping again and Doctor bought me a beautiful new necklace. We were also on a hunt to find a certain type of vanilla for Doctor's mom. We found it in a local drugstore tucked in a corner. After shopping we went to a Japanese hibachi restaurant for dinner. Always fun. By the time we got back to our hotel, it was too late to swim again! I know we still hadn't made it to the beach! We did get back in time for Karaoke, though. I wish I had pictures of my husband the Karaoke king! He was so fun to watch.
Wednesday we lounged at the beach and ate delicious food all day. We also got back massages. What a nice day. :)

Thursday we went to the Talum archeology site. It was crazy hot, but beautiful. After the tour we went to a different resort for swimming and snorkeling. Later that night we went to a fire show. At first I thought it was pretty impressive, then I realized the people were super stupid to be playing with fire like that. :)
Friday we got up early to go zip-line. The plan was for both of us to do it, but I chickened out last minute. Doctor thought it was fun and even did part of it upside down. After zip-line, we went on our jungle tour. When we got there, they asked us if we would drive separate boats so that another family would be able to go. So, we each drove a boat with a kid from the other family. It was a super windy day so it was a pretty scary boat ride. It was fun though, and I can now say that I drove a speed boat. We drove out into the ocean and went snorkeling at the reef. So beautiful.
Saturday was another beach lounging shopping day. That night we went to casino night and rocked the Texas Hold-em table. We even won a bottle of Tequila. :)
Sunday we went to church. It was fast & testimony meeting and it was probably one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. I'm so glad we were there. We went back to the hotel and had a couples massage and a pedicure and manicure. You can never be over pampered.
Monday we lounged at the pool until around noon then headed to the airport. What a wonderful week! I definitely missed the kids, though and was super excited to get back to them. Maybe next time we'll bring them along. Here's some pictures from our balcony.

A family in need

The title says it all. Here is a link for more info.

Notice anything missing?

We ordered some new furniture in January. It was supposed to come in March. The ship date has changed several times and we still haven't received our furniture. Doctor decided to sell our old furniture anyway. :) We hosted the young single adult dinner at our house last night and one of the guys said, "So, what is that room used for?" It was pretty funny.

Megaman is two!

Wow! Talk about time flying by! Megaman was adorable all day. He was so excited with all the attention that he kept scrunching up his shoulders and squealing. When it came time for the cake, he blew out the candle before we could sing. Hilarious. Thanks everyone for the cards and presents, he was so thrilled!

The circus is coming to town.....

Actually it already came. Honey Bunch performed as a puppy named, "Elena". She did a great job! She played fetch, crawled over and under, and begged for a treat. I can't believe her first year of preschool is over!

I'm such a lucky girl!

I am so spoiled. For Mother's Day my kids sent me flowers on Friday. They were beautiful! Then on Saturday, Doctor gave me an alarm clock that I can dock my ipod in. So fabulous! On Sunday I was treated to a french toast breakfast in bed and a delicious roast dinner. Thanks guys for everything! I love you all more than you could ever imagine.

Princess' Kindergarten Program

Princess' kindergarten program was so fun. She sang every song with all the actions perfectly. She's in the first white row below the blue stars, sixth over from the left. Before they began the program they gave tribute to all veteran's and also to a kindergartner's dad who just returned from a tour in Iraq. It was very touching. I am so grateful to all those who put their lives on the line for us every day. I also want to tell my cousin and his family how grateful I am for their sacrifice. You are in our prayers.

Must See

I have a lot to blog about, hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. In the meantime, this is a must watch. What an inspiration!

Two Tumblers

The girls had their tumbling performance tonight. They both did awesome! I was so proud of them. The pictures during the actual performance are too dark to post, so here are some pre-performance. Good job girls!
