Travis And I just got back from one of the best weeks ever! We had the most incredible week as you can see. It was a week well needed and much deserved, well I think so anyway.
We took a eastern carribean cruise with some of our best friends in the world, the Finch's (Brad and Ranae) There is not a better couple to be stuck with for a week. We did enough laughing that week to last a lifetime. I had a huge ajustment coming home to reality, there is nothing better than being waited on hand and foot for a whole week someone to cook and clean and even entertain you.
Some of the highlights were witnessing Brad in his speedo on Trunk Bay, Having Brad win the $1,000 dollar bingo, eating, eating, and eating again. Sleeping for however long we wanted. Having Ranae and I show up one day in the same swimming suit with no idea we even had the same suit. Trying to enjoy a peaceful lunch on a private beach with an Iguanna crawing on and around us. The list goes on and on but for now our memories with have to last until the next adventure with the Finch's.
Thanks Brad and Ranae for the best week ever!!!

A Mother of Boys
I don't like dirt and constant loud noise,
So how could I become a Mother of all boys?
Our laundry is colorful, blue green and red,
But this time I was hoping for pink or purple instead.
I always imangined I'd have one or two girls,
in her special "spin dress" dark hair full of curls.
I bought little outfits, hairclips and bows,
Fabric for quilts that for her I would sew.
Then the day came, and we saw on the screen,
There would be no pink, just more red, blue and green.
"How could this be?" I thought in my mind,
That is definatly not what I thought they would find.
I cried many tears, and for days it was rough,
I packed away dreams with the pink girly stuff.
Then one day I realized the fun and the joys,
That would come to a Mother of 4 handsome boys.
I was already blessed as a mother with three,
How much more fun would one more boy be?
We won't break the bank buying everything new,
I've saved the boys clothes and all their church shoes.
I'll still be the Queen of the castle here,
And the first girl they loved till their teenage years.
The three I have are the best I could wish for,
And I know that will be with sweet boy number four.
I can now look back, and often I think,
"Why was I so set on purple and pink?
I would not trade money for the constant loud noise,
That comes with the blessing of being a mother of boys!
