St. Martin

 Loved the beach here.  So warm, water was perfect, everyone had a great time.  I just love this picture.  Allan had a lot of fun.  I think he was glad John was there because Alex got in the water but still wasn't very playful in it.  John was.
 Trinity was too funny.  She would play in the sand get covered in the sand and say need to be washed off.  As soon as she got washed off she was back at it.  She loved it.
 Alex helping the in the process.
 I thought for sure that Aubrie would not like the sand but she loved it.  She ate it, played in it.  She didn't love the water very much.
 Trinity working on the girl sand castle!
 Look how blue the water is.  Love this picture even if mom doesn't. Might get yelled at for posting it.
 Another favorite.
 Alex was buried first but I was too slow to get a picture and he didn't want to do it again so Trinity was all about it.  If one person is doing it then she is going to do it.
 Alex was brave to even get in the water by himself.  He got pretty comfortable.
Love this picture.  Have to do what Grandma is doing and notice Linzie, Emma, Allan and I think John out in the water.
So on a side note I was walking with Aubrie up and down the beach but not close to the water hoping to put her to sleep and there was naked people.  I couldn't believe it we choose the nude side but luckly no kids saw it and it was all good.  I just laughed.

San Juan

 First stop San Juan Puerto Rico!  We had to check out the fort.  Awesome views from both sides.  Shane and Alex.
 Trinity and Dad.
 There is our boat in the back ground.  They loved climbing on all the walls.
 Aubrie and I waiting for everyone.  Big cannon balls.  While we were waiting (stairs so we had to go a different way) everyone else got to hold a musket - big gun.
 All grandkids have a picture with Grandma Sue

 She was scared of the fall.  Emma Linzie's youngest.

They had to run fast to see everything.  This is Valerie.  It was really cool we were looking over a view point and Kit pointed out an iguana.  They found tons.  Some of the kids weren't to interested so we moved on.  After seeing all the iguanas Linzie makes a comment like watch we will run into one.  Well we went somewhere at the fort where not to many people were and one of the kids ran into one.  Aaahhhh!!

Cruise first two days

 First day on the boat.  Of course we had to go swimming.  The water was cold the first day.  But as we cruised it got warmer.  The kids loved swimming the best but hanging out in the hot tub was the top pick.  Even Aubrie loved it.


 We went to tea so we could be princesses and queens.  Having tea was one of my favorites just because of the hot scones. I think the kids liked to it.
 Have to check out the back of the boat!  The kids loved walking around the boat!
Watching a movie! Staying up way past bedtime but that is what vacation is all about.  

Pocatello

 We were unable to see the Hepworth's during Christmas so we made a trip out there to see everyone.  The piano is always a hit at Grandpa Tom's house.
 We left our Camera at Emma's house and these are some of the great pictures we have.  I am kinda sad because we didn't take as many pictures as I was hoping so if anyone has more please send my way.




 Grandma Susan gave everyone birthday presents.  The kids loved them.  They made many towers with them.

Ginger Bread men

 For our Christmas in July mom got us this big ginger bread pan so I made a whole bunch and we decorated them instead of playing in the snow.


North Fork 2011

 So there was no snow in Tabby so we thought we would go further up in the mountains and find snow.  We found snow but not much.  We still had a great time.  Alex and Donovan ate snow the whole time and Trinity and Aubrie just had fun.
 Riding in the sled.  Lots easier than being carried.
 Love this picture.  She was just being silly.
 Another great one.  I have to say I am pretty good at taking pictures.


 You have to laugh at these pictures.  The top one is really great.  Good job mean but Allan set up the timer and look at me.  Too funny.  So needless to say not family picture unless you count this one.


They are trying to escape they wanted to play in the snow just like their brothers but we were ready to go home.  Notice by this time we have not hats on or coats.  It was that warm over Christmas break.  Crazy when you think last year we were snowed in.
