at chichen Itza. These ruens were made one of the seven wonders of the world last year.

us at the entrance to the underground cave
the unerground cave, those are tree roots that grew 40 ft. through the air to get water. We swam in here.
Craig kept picking the banana, and was on the lookout for a good coconut the entire time we were there.
The beach was so pretty
our resort had tons of these statues, so we took a picture with each one
Craig, Greg, and Jenny on the beach.

curley Q

The other day I thought it would be fun to put curlers in Laylas hair, and she actually let me. It was funny though when we took them out, Carter looked at her and said "mom, that is not Layla!", with a confused look on his face. He prefers her without curly hair, and I have to admit, it's lots easyer that way.

Carter put this net on the other day with his sun glasses and wanted me to take his picure.

Layla turned one

I made her this cute little flower cake. I was pretty proud of myself.

four generations

We had a really fun Easter party, the kids loved the Easter egg hunt. I guess we have been really good because the Easter bunny came to see us, and left the kids Easter baskets. Craigs sister Jenny and her two boys, Jaxon and Lucas, came to visit for 2 1/2 weeks. Jaxon is Carters best little friend, so they had a BLAST together. We went on a picnic, and a party, played lots of games, and the moms got some good girl time in together. I am going to be sad to see them go home tomorrow, but probably not as sad as Carter. Poor kid.

Carters 3rd Birthday, he is really into trains right now so I made him a birthday cake.

Hi blog buddies. Things have been crazy busy in my neck of the woods, but honestly I don't think I would want it any other way. I guess I just have this need to feel like I'm being productive, or as Thomas the train would say "a really usefull engine".
Man has the Presidential election been exciting this year or what? However,I was absolutly heart broken and deflated when my man Mit dropped out, and now I just don't know what to do with my self. Sometimes I wish I had an angel on one sholder and a devil on the other telling me what to do, like on the cartoons. That would make everything so easy, because then I would know just to do what the angel said. In this case I fear that there would be a devil on both sholders, because I really don't care for any of the choices which remain. Oh well, what do ya do?
I was on nbc and fox news a couple of times this week, and that was kind of crazy. Good for business I must say. It's just wierd to hear people on the news saying your name and talking about you. Well have a great week. Susan

I'm a rock star

I realized the power of posative thinking, or the law of relativity last week. Craig and I were watching the news together, and I said to him "I should call them tomorrow to see if I could come on the morning show for some kind of Valentines day segment, or something like that." The next morning KPVI news channel 6 called me. doo dooo dooo dooo doo dooo doo dooo. They came over and we shot the piece a couple of days later. I am really excited to see how it comes out. It will be aired a couple of times, but the full story will air Feb. 17th at 5. 6. 9. and 10:00pm. Toon in for a good time. I went and hung out with my cousin Scott and his wife Kim on saterday, because they are moving to Hawii today, and most likely will not be back for a couple of years. Scott about has me talked into coming to visit them in a year (twist my arm A little harder). How fun would that be? we could stay at the military lodging and use their car for transportation, and we would have our very own tour guides. Can't beat that with a stick.Have you ever played rock band? I highly recommend it. Craig and I played with our friends Crystal and Dillon last weekend, and it was a blast. Even if all the songs were 80's rock, who cares, you get to sing into the mike, and bang on the drums. Very nice, thanks come again.
