Poor David

And so the bruise has settled in from David's accident at school. What else can I say?

I predict this as the first of MANY!

Monday

7:20 a.m. put David on the Bus for School

9:20 a.m. take Lydia and her best bud Megan to school

10:00 a.m. take Michael Joseph to Little Gym

*10 :07 a.m. Just as I am getting M.J. into the Little Gym, I get a phone call from David's school, there's been an accident can I come to the school right away.*

David was in the gym playing with one of his classmates and some basket balls escaped from the bin and he was running and tripped and fell right onto/into a piano. He has a little gash on his nose and the cheek I'm sure will be looking worse before it gets better. His teacher Miss Aubree said he kept asking for his yo yo (ya ya) my mom. So after making sure all was well David got to spend part of the morning with ya ya, M.J. made it to his class 25 minutes late, and I'm still a little frazzled from it all. So, I'm sure that this will be the first of many calls I will get as a mom. Thanks mom for taking great care of David.

Easter

From the moment we were married I decided to tackle Easter as the holiday I would host. This year we were going to be at a baby blessing, so we celebrated on Saturday. (However after reading Lisa's blog I think I'll borrow her family's tradition of the party and hunt for eggs on Saturday and letting Sunday focus on our Savior) Anyway, we had a great time and grandpa Joe is a genius!!! Silly String was Sensational!!! How do I get it off my lawn??? We had over 200 eggs for 8 kids (5 under 3) It was fun to spend time with our family and friends.

A Night in Puerto Vallarta

After the six hour adventure some of us decided to go back out into the actual city. Again we hired a driver who took us to sites and a great restaurant. I know Michael Joseph will remember nothing, Lydia can't stop talking about living on the ship, and I hope my little David will have just a few memories. I love the picture of him with his back to me looking out at the sea. What is he thinking, how I wish I knew. Thanks Cecil for another wonderful vacation.

Puerto Vallarta

Lydia and her love Karson! They are now the best of friends!

The Pirate Ship Adventure was awesome. It was 6 hours of sailing to a private island, playing in the ocean, watching the Pirates sword fight, and an awesome treasure hunt for the kids on the island. Breakfast and Lunch were served. This was worth the money, Best Shore Excursion Ever!

Disco Time

The kids had fun at the Michael Jackson Tribute in the Disco!

Chileno Bay in Cabo San Lucas

My cousins went on the same cruise as us about a year ago and told me about Chileno Bay. It's a 20 minute drive from the water taxis drop off point. We hired a van to drive us to and from. It was awesome. We had our snorkel gear, but didn't really need it since the fish were just right there for all to see. Cecil is the one that enjoyed the snorkeling the most, the older two kids are great snorkeling in a pool, but the waves/fish might have freaked them out a bit. I definately would tell anyone going to do this. No point paying for the shore excursion a ton of money when you can do it on your own:)

Swimming Fun

It's hard to narrow down the best pics to post. Thank goodness for digital cameras! The ship had an awesome slide and splash park for the littlest swimmers.

"Professional Photos"

It wouldn't be a cruise if the cruise lines photographers didn't get some money out of you, we also went to a great restaurant in P.V. where there was a photographer, I couldn't resist and Cecil humors me and let me splurge on these overly priced pics.

We are alive!

I will post pictures soon, but wanted to let my loved ones know we survived our 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera with our three children. We had a great time and I for some reason am struggling to get my land legs back, two days home and I'm still out of sorts. It was an amazing time and we were fortunate to travel with our good friends, their kids, and a set of grandparents.
