So I feel so ridiculous. I guess this is just a lesson for me
not to zone my kids out haha. This is the story. I was in
the kitchen cooking dinner. I had stuff in the oven and I
went to cook stuff on the stove top well I thought I had
turned the back burner on but I turned the front burner
on. Out of habit I got done looking at the dinner in the oven
and put the oven mitt on the stove. Yes the front burner.
I went into the living room cause I was sucked into this
movie that was on. Tanley came in and said Mom fire and
I was like ya uh huh. She walked back into the kitchen and
came in again and said mom fire and I was like what then she
yelled Fire. Ty and I both ran to the kitchen sure enough the
oven mitt was on fire. I couldn't stop laughing. Ty grabbed it
and through snow on it. Needless to say Ty finally got our smoke
detectors up just a good thing I have a smart daughter haha!

Cancun 2010

Xel.Ha

yes that is some sort of shark!

Our cute little love towels. Made us feel like it was our

honeymoon all over again.

This night was the most satisfying night of our trip.

We were at the Hard Rock eating on the board walk

and to little spanish kids 10 and 14 came up to us

trying to sell bracelets, headbands, and everything

else you can think of that they sell in Mexico. We got

to talking with them and they told us they're mom

just died, Dad walked out on them, so they were on

there own for awhile till there Aunt took them in.

My heart instantly broke I wanted to adopt them right there.

They said they get up at four and work till very late. It was 10:00 pm

when we sat down. They had just barely started school this

year. We sat them down and fed them a hamburger, coke,

and icecream. I have never seen to little kids so excited. My

heart broke again. We laughed ( I think they were laughing at our

not so good spanish skills)and talked so more then we

let them sell us there homeade items. It was such a great

feeling to us to know at least that night they would not go

hungry!

Our lovely day at the spa! Our swedish

massages were amazing

The best part of our trip the R & R!!

Eating at the outdoor steakhouse

The view off of our bedroom deck

That crazy mexican got in front of our picture

so we would by his BOO!

My crazy husband

Our last night on the town. We went to Senior Frogs

and watched the boys, Amy, and Nikki ride the bull.

No Bull riding for me only cause I was in a dress haha.

Our trip to Cancun was amazing its just what I needed.

The Riu Caribe an all inlcusive resort was fantastic.

As you can see our favorite thing was snorkeling and

relaxing but now back to the real world haha!

Thanks AMP for the free trip!

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
