~Spring Break 2010 Mexican Riveria Cruise!~

I know it has taken me forever to blog about my cruise, but here it finally is! Over Spring Break Becca and I went on a 7 day cruise to Mexico, and it was awesome :) All but one day the weather was really warm, we couldn't have asked for better. We got upgraded at the last minute to a balcony room, which by the way was so worth it! We eat way too much food and especially that late night ice cream and pizza! The first three days were at sea days, so we had fun just laying out by the pool and basically just doing nothing :) Wed we went to Puerta Vallarta, Thurs to Matzalan, Friday to Cabo, and Sat. was another sea day. Sat was really the only day it was too cold to lay out. It was so much fun and the time went by so fast! I have picture overload below :)

She's probably going to kill me for posting this picture, but this is Becca's impression of a real California driver! We went down the night before the ship left and stayed in Long Beach and it was raining so hard! But, just like always she cool, calm and collective driving through it while I admit I was a little scared and glad I wasn't driving :)

Getting ready to get on the ship :)


The awesome water slide at the top of the ship!

Wasting time doing a safety drill :(

From our balcony
I usually hate feet! Everyone knows I totally have a foot phobia, but for some reason I love the pictures of our feet off the balcony.

We are soooo awesome! :))

Cabo on the way to Puerta Vallerta, they had to stop and drop off a sick passenger.

I love the background in this picture

Puerta Vallarta

On our way to our Canopy Adventure

In Puerta Vallarta we took a Canopy Tour where we zip lined from tree top to tree top. I have to admit I was a little scared at first (heights aren't my favorite thing) of course Becca had no fear and went ahead and went first (we had 14 people in our group). After the 1st zip line my fear was gone, and it was sooo much fun! We had about an hour drive up there in this crazy army truck thing with only these things to hang out to. The Mexican guy driving was driving like a maniac! No speed limit signs to be found anywhere :)

The army truck we rode up in!

Becca stopped and posed for all the pictures! There are many with her sticking her tongue out going across the zip line. Where mine I couldn't even look at the camera because I'm concentrating on not dying :) Just kidding! I thought she would kill me if I posted them though and I can't afford to lose my best friend right now ha ha :)

The tour guide threw a cup of water on me so my shirt is soaked. Apparently there is a song in Mexico called "Tara" and he loved singing it..over and over...

Zip line
After it was all over.

We passed an LDS church :) It was so neat to see!

Mazatlan getting ready to go on a tour of the city with "Jorge" No we didn't plan to wear twinner shirts :)

Windy!

Matzalan, Mexico

Crazy Cliff Diver

My new hair-do for the rest of the cruise! I loved the braids :)

Wow!!

Flea market in Cabo

These guys just walked around carrying huge gun, so we thought it would be fun to get a picture with one of them.

Cabo, so pretty!

After this picture Becca said "we are such dorks!" Cabo

Water Taxi over to the Beach in Cabo

I hope that after this picture I'm not dead too, but I couldn't leave it out! Becca can fall asleep in literally 10 seconds. She would be talking to me one minute, and then next she would be completely out of it. I took pictures because it was hard for me to believe that she wasn't faking, but she wasn't!

Our waiter was pretty hot!

Towel Monkey!

No idea!


Learning how to make towel animals

Mine didn't turn out so great :(

8 days together and still BFF's :) Never a doubt! So much fun! I'm so glad we got to go!

Nascar February 27th and 28th

Once again I am totally behind with the blogging! I don't know what my deal is I used to be so good at this blogging thing! At the end of February Kara, MaCail and I went down to the annual Vegas Nascar race. Every year I've seen all these crazy people in Mesquite coming from Vegas fighting all those crowds and told myself I would NEVER go to all that trouble for some dumb race! Well....Kara is a HUGE Nascar and this was what she wanted to do for her birthday. Good thing I love her! It was actually a lot of fun and pretty interesting. Much better in person than on TV. I still don't think I could watch a whole race on TV. I'm glad we go to go :)

Here we are with our earplugs. It was crazy how loud it was and there was no way you could go all day and not wear them.

After they introduced the drivers they drove them around the track in trucks. They were some pretty hot race car drivers :))


This was a caution lap, during the race they went by so fast there was no way you could take a picture.

Gotta love the Sunglasses and ear plugs! Great combination!

I thought this pink car was awesome! Too bad it didn't do so well!

The race we went to Saturday night was sooo cold! Here MaCail and I are trying to show just how cold it was.

Rain delayed and bored.

Sunday we all decked out in Kara's Nascar gear. I ended up wearing all Jimmy Johnson stuff, and who knew he won the race so at the end of the day I looked pretty smart :)) Thanks Kara :)

Sunday we got these head phone things that were pretty cool we could listen to the announcer or to any of the drivers talking to their pit crews.

Here we are sad because the weekend is over :(

Blog Slacker!!!??!!!!

Okay so I know I have been a total blog slacker!!! I'm sorry! My sister informed me today that I better update my blog, so of course I'm doing exactly what she says! Life has been kinda crazy not that a lot has really been going on, but I just haven't got to blogging :) This is going to be a really random long post going over basically everything I have pictures of on my camera.

Yesterday was Kara's 27th birthday. We celebrated by going to Pizza Factory with a group of people mostly from our branch and then coming back to my house and watching figure skating.. ha ha. The real celebration will come this weekend when we go to Nascar! Right! Me going to Nascar! Kara is a huge fan and is sooo excited! We'll see in a few days how I feel about my first Nascar experience :) I'm sure we'll have fun no matter what, we always do!
Me, Kara, and MaCail (Sara) We joke that we need to change MaCail's name to Sara so we can all rhyme.

I look horrible in this picture, but hey it's cute of Kara :)

Part of the reason I think I haven't gotten to my blog is because I am dead tired at night after getting up to walk at 5:30. I absolutely love it, and never thought I would. Becca and I are still walking at least 20 miles a week and most weeks more. I love our walks and actually find myself looking forward to getting up and going and have we ran out of things to talk about? Nope! I love this girl and am so thankful everyday that she's my best friend. Oh and btw 8 days until Spring Break and our cruise! I am so excited!


On February 20th Treyson turned 1. I can hardly believe that it's been a year since he was born. I love him and Payton so much and am so thankful that I get to be their aunt. My mom and I went up for the weekend for his birthday. It was great to be able to spend time with them.

The birthday boy digging into his cupcake. Kacie's friend Lindsey made some awesome Cookie Monster and Elmo cupcakes that were so cute!

Treyson loves balls!

of course Daniel and I had to do something weird.

About a month ago we had a bonfire out at Snow Canyon. We roasted Star burst, sounds weird I know but it was really good!
Kara and MaCail, no idea what that guy in the back is doing!

Amber, MaCail, No idea (how bad is that!), Janell, Kara, and Me

Me wearing Kara's Roxy hat, kind of funny that both Kara and MaCail own Roxy wear too :)
