Cruise Baby!

We had the oppurtunity to go on a cruise to the mexican riveria with my inlaws and extended family. We had the time of our lives! This was really the only time Brandon and I had been without the kid's, besides our two day honeymoon. We LOVED it!
We had these shirts made that said cruisin with Bumpa. Bumpa was the theme of our trip. It was so much fun to wear these, alot of people would ask us, whose Bumpa, I think Bumpa felt famous for the day. Here we are exploring the ship.
This is the first dinner on the ship. P.S. my favorite part of the cruise was the food. Amazing!
These are Brandons beautiful cousins, who reminded me of my Elli the whole time, and made me miss her like crazy.
Here's the famous Bumpa and his lovely wife Nana
Jessica, me, Braydee, Bri
There was something extra special that happened on this cruise, Jeff popped the big question.
It was fun coming into our room each night with a differnt animal towel on our bed
This was at our first stop, we were kinda excited to get off and go explore Mexico
We went snorkeling, and did alot of sunbathing on top of the boat...
On our way back, we ate a real mexican restaurant, it was very tasty!
Enjoying a breakfast before our second stop!
Brandon went fishing with his cousin for the day, I hung out with everyone else and got to go swimming with dolphins, and I also went parasailing...

On our last stop Brandon and I had fun riding quads, we got a tour of the umm, sad town. But it was alot of fun.
We went dancing every night. Let me tell you that is the funnest exercise ever!
Almost everyone was involved in karoke every night as well. But only Rick, Bran, and me were able to be in the closing legends show. Rick was Ricky Martin, Brandon, Elvis
At our last formal dinner :(

Bri and I found this friend , but it didnt compare to this other one we found

Fun with Friends!

We have been having alot of fun with our good friends, the Youngs! Brooke is Elli's age, and Gavin is 1 year older than Aisley.
We went over to their house and made cupcakes, organic, of course (haha, i love ya iva!) The kid's played and we yaked, and Iva cooked for me yummmm i love her food!

A few days later we met up at Disneyland, and the girls had a blast. When we first got there we saw Cinderella, girls were stoked.
Brandon was able to go, so we took the younger two on some rides while bran took the older two on bigger rides. We are so happy to have met such great friends while living here in Chino Hills!
