Labadee, Haiti

I love the beach!! That was paradise for me. Through out reading my blog, just a side note, I'm a terrible speller!

My hubby and some of his family went parasailing! I chose not to. Most of the footage is on video camera.

Remember this is me and Jeff's first day of sun, aren't we a cute albino couple:)

I love this picture of my nephew, Curtis. We snorkled at every beach but I don't have any pictures of me like this, darn it. This is our ship in the back.

Don't worry I am as white as they come! So of course I have 50 SPF on and my sister-in-law, Barbra, went tanning 9 times before the trip. Tanning beds kinda freak my out.

Tropical paradise!

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

Talk about living in luxury!! Freedom of the seas is the worldest largest cruise ship and it's masive!

ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE!!!!

Okay, so most of you don't know this but Jeff and I just got back from a 7 day Cruise to the West Caribbean!! I have so many fabulous thing to share that I decided to go one day at a time so today will be the first day. Also Jeff took 450 pictures and its to hard to pick my favorites. We had all of his siblings and spouses and his parents. Some brought there children making it 20 of us!! This is the limo to hold us all!! We started out the trip with bling...bling.... This was the most convient, money saver, and thrill to get the family from the airport to the motel and the motel to the cruise ship. Don't worry, we didn't complain:)

SUNDAY - The first day at sea

This is Kyle enjoying his first of many ice cream cones. The first day at sea we had 40 to 50 mile an hour winds. The ship was definitly rocking and was a bit scary. Needless to say there was plenty to do.

This reminds me of the pumkin art I saw in October.

This was lunch at the buffet on board. Can you believe that is carved out of a watermelon.

I had some fruit and chicken to start and my chicken tasted like Chic-fil-a! Which is my favorite, yum. We had a buffet lunch everyday and the food is so devine. I already miss not having to cook. I know I was going to wait to blog more but I was too excited.

The pools are empty for now but later we were in paradise. This is a view from the deck.

nobody tells you about the drill that you do on the first day. And we were still do happy to be there:).

Here we are leaving Miami, I told you it was windy!

AUBREY

Tracy took these pictures with her new camera.

Aubrey looks so big. I can't believe she will be 2 next month.

SISTERS

This is my youger sister, Tracy. I love her so much. She is 17 and a very amazing person. She is always thinking of others and is so helpful to everyone. She is strong and beautiful! Thank you for being an example to me and I love you!

MY MOTHER AND HER DAUGHTERS

We had such a wonderful time throwing her this party. I think she looks amazing for being 50!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR.........2008!

I hope everyone got off to a great start for the new year:)! I sure did. My mom had her 50th birthday and we threw her a great suprise party!! She was shocked! We got her good and she decided turning 50 wasn't so bad. I love my mom so much and I hope she got the message. We sent her out with my dad to a movie and my sisters and I went to work. We had decorations and lots of good food and a lot of her family were able to come. We moved everyone's cars and she came through the door and........SURPRISE. She was crying and made everyone else cry. Having your birthday on January 1st would be hard. She doesn't get much of a birthday every year. I hope it made up for some of the past birthdays. I will have to post pictures later, sorry. I just want to tell my mom THANKS for everything; for always being there for me, teching me how to be a good mother, being a role model, for showing me how to treat others and my spouse, thanks for being my true example. I could go on and on! THANK YOU, Happy Birthday, and I LOVE YOU:) You are the BEST!!!
