An Arizona Christmas!

We got to go down to Arizona and have a nice 'chilly' Christmas. It was so nice. It was good to be with family. We enjoyed to Temple lights at the Mesa Temple.





This is the same bench that Monroe had proposed to me four years ago Christmas day! It is tradition to get back to it every year at Christmas! :)

TOO EXCITED!!!

Soo...I was getting Monroe's bath ready and I went to grab him a towel...when I hear a loud 'splash'!!!! He usually follows me, so I can get him undressed too... But I guess he was just way too excited and he jumped in with all of his clothes on! He just couldn't wait! It was pretty funny.

OUR 1ST CHRISTMAS TREE!

We are usually out of town every Christmas, so we have never bothered getting a tree...But this year we did! It was fun. This isn't the best picture...but I'm glad I took one to remember our 1st tree. :)

THANKSGIVING!

Soooo I'm just a little behind on my blogging...so today I am going to attempt to catch up on some stuff...

This was our first Thanksgiving with just the three of us! So I actually cooked everything! :) I had to take a ton of pictures to document this...or no one would have believed that I actually cooked anything! :)



Started off the morning with some yummy hot chocolate.


Our Thanksgiving feast! :)


Baby Monz loved every bite!






It was a nice relaxing day! I love Thanksgiving! Especially when I am eating for two! :)

Grand Cayman Anyone??

Monroe and I had the chance to go to Grand Cayman with his brother Bruce and his wife Callie. It was a wonderful trip. My parents watched little Monz while we were gone. I missed him more than I thought possible.:) We had a lot of fun and even survived Hurricane Paloma! We were so blessed that last minute the hurricane moved East. It ended up hitting the smaller Caymans and Cuba at a catagory 4! We were so lucky! Thank goodness for the power of prayer!:)




The first night we were there, there was the most beautiful sunset.



Monroe went on another dive here in Cayman. They saw a lot of things including a hammerhead shark!


We went to the turtle farm which was way cool because I LOVE turtles...that is until you realize that it is a "farm" and they are being raised to be eaten....:( sad





The baby turtles were my favorite! How cute are they?





We couldn't snorkel enough!


Here is one picture from our condo window of the HURRICANE!!!





Here are some pictures of us at Sting Ray City. This was really neat. We were out in the middle of the ocean at this 'sand bar' so you could stand up waist high and there were so many sting rays! They would just swim right up to you and rub up against you. You could pet them, feed them, or kiss them for seven years good luck! :)





just more of my amazing photography.......
OK that is enough pictures already!!!!!!

Dude let's go to Belize!!!

Monroe, his father, and all of his brothers went on a 'dude trip' to Belize. They were there a week and went on an adventure every single day of the week. They went on a few scuba dives, a fishing trip, to the ruins, etc. etc..... He would be able to describe everything better....but he doesn't 'blog' I guess. :)
Here are a few pictures from the trip.


Here's all the dudes! :)



Monroe...always making friends...no matter when or where...:)


Snackin' on some shrooms...gettin a little crazy!



Hangin' with the Judge at the ruins. :)



Monroe went on a ton of dives with his brothers in Belize.

Swimming with and riding sharks...you know the usual...

HALLOWEEN!

A little late....but hey...we've been busy! :)
Baby Monz & I were in Arizona with grandma & grandpa & all his little cousins....while dad was in Belize with his brothers! (We'll see if he'll help me blog some picts from that trip!) :)

Here's some pictures of the party Natalie had for all the kids at her house the night before Halloween.

Cute little Mickey Mouse.


Micky Monz with Ratatouille Drayson (puckering up for his kiss :))


All the little cousins with grandma.


Then Batman showed up to the party and surprised all the kids!

Halloween night!


Mickey Monz was the life of the party!


He loved trick or treating!


Brock & Megan were Emmett and Rosalie from Twilight. Little Maddox was the best sumo wrestler ever! :)


Monz loved 'Jack'! One of the best costumes of the night!

I couldn't get over how HOT it was in Arizona! It is always so cold by Halloween night in Utah. Monz costume was too hot for the Arizona heat. It would have been perfect for Utah...
