Pumpkin Patch '08

So we ventured up to Greenbluff (or Green Buffalo as the kids call it) for our yearly Punkin Patch visit. A lot of my favorite people were there to share in the fun with us, Marshall and Nichole and the kids, Mindi and her kiddos, and Christy and Grant and their brood. Wish we could have spent more time with all of them,but I think all in all a good time was had by all.
Love this one of Sierra and Faith. Wheeeeeeeeee!

The sun was not cooperating with us on these poses. Faith kept running away or shielding her eyes.
The biggest punkin in the patch!!!!
Noah and Darian were in charge of pushing the pumpkins around. Look close and you'll see that they both have orange hair.
Quite the poser this one.
Sisters.
We couldn't get the whole family at once, but oh well. I like this one a lot!
Caitlyn and Hannah just chillin!

Thought I'd put up a few more pics from our vacation. (FYI: The guy in the funny hat pic is Marshall, of course)

Gorgeous waterfall at the resort next door. We snuck over there a few times to snap some shots.
The sand took forever to come off. (There might still be some in my ears!)
He he!!!Believe it or not this was my idea and something we just had to do while we were there.
Getting buried alive.
Awesome shot of Brian and Marshall. Couple of handsome fellas.
Probably my favorite thing we did on the island. Super relaxing.
Pic from the island, Isla Mujeras. They have a zip line where you can go from hut to hut above the ocean. Pretty cool!
Brian and the good-natured Mexican.
Coco Bongo is the Vegas-type show they have in Cancun, which features acts like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis, etc, etc, etc. So GOOD!
Had to throw in another of my sunrise over the ocean pictures. I could look at that view forever.
There is a video to go along with this one that will have you all rolling on the floor. Hilarious!
I am a HUGE fan of lighthouses.
Brian striking a pose.

Cancun Update

Enjoying our last steak and shrimp feast.
Nichole and I had such a great time hanging out together.
Me at the spa getting ready for my wonderful massage.
My dorky brother channeling Kenny Chesney!
Bungee trampoline. Apparently I didn't go as high as I thought I did.
Fun times.
Sunrise over the ocean. Breathtaking!
Heading out on a kayak adventure. I really loved this, but I got the worst motion sickness every time.
View looking down from the presidential suite, which we snuck up to without anyone knowing.
Getting ready for the Coco Bongo experience.
Marsh and I at the bar chillin on the swings!
This is one of my favorites of Brian and I.
So, we are back from our absolutely amazing vacation to sunny Cancun. Boo hoo!!! We had a blast. I got just the perfect amount of rest and relaxation mixed in with some partying and shopping (way too much shopping) and a ton of eating. Gotta love the all-inclusive. I am unfortunately going to have to blog about this in a few parts, as there are just way too many great pics to post all at once!

hi all

hi to all of you from Cancun!!!!!! Be back home in 2 days with lots of pixs!
