MEXICO HERE WE COME!!!!

On Oct. 17 thru the 24th my daughter-in-law and I took a cruise to Mexico. Little did we know of the events which would take place.

It was a bright sunny day in Las Angeles when our Sapphire Princess slowly left the harbor.

Everyone was on deck to say goodbye.

Even the big cargo ships were moving on...

Gabrielle was so happy...

Even the Tug Boat waved us onward to our adventure.

We were both ready to rock and roll, and party on....

Even the guy in the blimp waved at us...

It was going to be not only "A Good Year" but a good seven days.

The entire scene was perfect...

We played Giant Chess on deck...

And the Mexican Duet played in the atrium to get us in the mood for Mexico.

The main atrium was beautiful and inviting.

Nice ceiling and beautiful ornate elevators.

THEN IT HAPPENED!!!! We were 800 miles into the ocean heading to Carbo San Lucas at the very tip southern end of the Baja. We would dock there, spend a day, and move slowly back up to our other ports of call. To know what happened next you will have to read my next entry.

Jordon Gets the Priesthood

We had a wonderful Sunday with Jordon on his special Priesthood Day!

David just purchased a new black suit with vest and notice they both have on matching ties. What a duo!

Jordon showing off his new scriptures that we presented him. It also has an all leather bag to protect them along with marking pencils. Black with gold edge pages are so striking.

All the little cousins are lined up for ice cream cones. We had yummy soups and rolls after church.

Grandpa holding Alex's new baby who was also blessed today.

Oh David, how come you are so handsome. Of course all my sons are handsome. They get it from their mother.
