FOLLOW UP FROM THE CARRIBEAN ADVENTURE

We had such a great time on our trip with the Pyne family. We were able to stop off in Grand Turk, Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico. This made for lots of snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, exploring, horseback riding, riding scooters, playing cards and of course eating. Thanks JT and Sue! We had so much fun. We are still waiting for some of our film to get developed so these are just a few of the goods. I don't have a picture of all my family members, but i am hoping to have some when i develop the film. There were 14 of us total so it was a little crazy.


We ate the best dinners on the cruise. Check out JT and Sue aren't they cute.

We were able to snorkle or scuba dive at just about every island. So this is pretty much what Cardon looked like everyday!

Check out this father & son duo.

Snorkeling at St. John. Super pretty.

Just enjoying the boat on the way back from St. John.




These baths were awesome. Tons of good climbing around and beautiful water.

Cam is sporting the dopest beard. We named him Blackbeard. I am pretty sure he was a pirate in another life.

We were exploring in Puerto Rico.



It was my b-day on the boat so i decided to wear something special. This dress was my mom's. Isn't is sweet. Kenton and i are headed up to dinner to celebrate.

Blackbeard and Cardon cruizin in the kayak.


There was an outbreak of G.I. on the ship. We aren't sure where it started but i have my suspisions. Incase you were wondering Mandee is holding a sea cucumber.

We were able to scuba dive a few wrecks. If any of you have seen the movie, "The Deep" it was filmed at one of the dive sites we did called the Wreck of the Rhone. It was so cool. I am hoping to get some copies of pictures. So i will post more when they come in.

MORE MONTREAL PICS

This is our ghetto hotel we stayed at. This picture doesn't do it justice. There were some crazy holes and the safety lock was broken. That may have been why we only stayed there one night. I guess you can't trust the internet.


They had the coolest cemetary on top of Mt. Royal. I loved this mosaic headstone.


More evidence of how cold it was. Doesn't that water make you want to jump in?


I love this picture of me and Cardon. Not to get sappy or anything but we really are perfect for each other.



This picture is self-explanatory.



The Lonely Planet has come in handy time and time again.



This building blows my mind. Imagine having to build this. It is magnificent.



Me and Lindsay freezing our buns off.



Always vandalizing.

BON VOYAGE!

We are off to the carribean for ten days with the pyne family! We will post pictures when we get back. Happy valentines.

FOLLOW UP MONTREAL

Here are a few photos from our trip to Montreal. We had such a great time. We are hoping to go back for round 2 this summer. Thanks to the Costellos for the good times and sweet pics.

I love this photo.


Right at home.

It was so pretty, but sooo cold. Check out the ice chunks in the ocean. That's right those are ice chunks, practically frozen over. I am pretty sure it was it was in the negatives that day.

One of the many beautiful Cathedrals.

Not sure what we are sitting on but thought it made a great picture.

We were able to spend an afternoon cross-country skiing. It was so much fun. I am sure we were pretty funny to watch too.

OH CANADA

We are heading off to Montreal and Quebec for the long weekend with our friends the Costellos. It is going to be beautiful and a little enchanting. And hey i can even try and practice my junior high french skills. Hopefully it won't be too cold. Enjoy the long weekend.

HUNTER MOUNTAIN

Through one of Cardon's jobs he was able to get us free bus passes and tickets to go snowboarding upstate at Hunter Mountain. We have yet to experience east coast snowboarding. I am sure it won't be as good as back home, but who can pass up a free day on the snow. We were really lucky to round up most of what gear we needed too, since all of ours is in Utah. Hopefully i will have some pics to add after the adventure. Hope you all have a great weekend.

POST CHRISTMAS

We were really happy to be able to head to Utah after Christmas to spend time with the Pyne family for a few days. We ate a lot of yummy food, played games, had some great ski days and enjoyed the family. Here are a few pictures of Adrienne's party eating delicious treats and playing with the cute nephews. I have a bunch more pictures but they are on my phone. So hopefully i will get them up soon. It was really good to get to go to both Utah and Boise. Thank you everyone, we miss you already.

CHRISTMAS

We went to Boise for Christmas to hang out with the Webb family. We started off the week with a baby shower for Kim. Check out the Webb girls.



Cardon's dad grew up in New Mexico and makes the best Mexican food. So it's tradition to have a big Mexican meal for Christmas. This year we decided to have a little fiesta. And no fiesta is complete without a pinata. So don't worry we had a Santa pinata. It was a hit.



We had our cousin party and were suppose to dress up in ugly Christmas gear. Don't worry we went caroling like this. Don't Cardon and I look like Elton John and Where's Waldo? I didn't have any gear so i just wore all of Cardon's clothes. It worked out well. I think Koos won though.





Christmas morning...Good grub, good company. I stole a few of these pictures off Kim, so thanks Kim. Good ol' Maggie, she got lots of kisses. Cardon was very happy Santa brought him his GF Hurley board.

PRE-CHRISTMAS

We started out the Christmas Holiday with a little pre-Christmas at home in NYC. A handful of small gifts made for a fun affair.
*note ironically most of Cardon's presents fell along the lines of a red color scheme. He was loving it...p.s. Cardon got me a rad marker board that is as long kitchen wall...stoked

FIRST SNOW

We had our first snow storm last week. We were actually really excited to shovel snow. Too bad we couldn't go bizzing. These are our neighbors Amber and Leah. We are so glad they live by us.

O CHRISTMAS TREE

Every year we get a little bit taller Christmas tree. This year we made it up to one almost as tall as us. The problem was that we only had enough decorations to decorate about half of it. But we have collected a few more lights and ornaments over the last week so it looks a little more evenly decorated than this now. I love getting real trees. It makes your house smell so nice.
