Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

What a dream come true. No kids, No house work, No responsibility, beautiful weather, the SUN, the beach, and the best of all Adam all to myself for a whole week!

La Panaderia (The Bakery) WOW!
They had the most amazing pasteries I have ever tasted. We hit the bakery at least 4 times while we were there. We brought some home to share with our family.

This is the transportation we took to get where we needed to go. Adam loved riding the bus, it reminded him of being in Brazil. This is a picture of Old Vallarta or The Romantic Zone.

Los Arcos - our first scuba diving spot.

Enjoying a private beach "Las Caletas" after scuba diving our second time =).

The Malecon or boardwalk.

The Zip Line was my favorite activity. We did 2 days of Zip Line. The second day we rode mules up the mountain to the top of the Zip Line.


Swimming with Dolphins was Adam's favorite activity. It was amazing, the dolphins weigh 500 pounds each.


Thanks for the awesome week Adam!

Piano Recital 2008

Classic piano recital photo's.

Hilary played Joy to the World

Marshall played Little Drummer Boy

They did awesome - especially since I feel like have to get on them about practicing all the time (this is my payback for when I wouldn't practice as a kid). Great job guys.

Old Friends - Good Times!

Adam introduced me to facebook in October. I guess he didn't want me to do any housework or cook dinner for a few weeks. I love it! It was so fun to find some of my college friends. We got together and had lunch at my house to catch up. It was so great to see everyone. Since then, they posted some fun pictures of us on a cruise we took for spring break in 1994.

Can you tell who is who?Jody, Julie, Mikel, Shannon

Valley of the SUN

I truly am a warm weather person so any chance I get to visit Phoenix - I'm there! Hilary had a soccer tournament (in October) so my Mom, Calli, Andrew, Hilary and I made the LOOOOONG drive. We picked up Michelle and Em from their short flight to spend the last part of the trip with us.

Congrats to Avalanche for taking 2nd place in the 12 Year old division (they play up a year)!

Hilary played goalie most of the tournament. She only gave up one goal (no one could have stopped it). The one game she came out for a quarter she scored a goal - Nice Job Hill-Bill!

Thanks Mom for coming and helping me with the kids. I loved spending time with you.The highlight of the trip - MAKUTU'S ISLAND!
This place "Rocks". It is an indoor playground that looks like the jungle. It is full of mazes, slides, a small zip line and food of course. The best part about it is that s can participate in the fun.

Happy Anniversary Adam, thanks for the beautiful flowers!
I love you more and more every day.You can't go to Phoenix and not spend time with the cousins oh and SWIM!
