Until the baby arrives....

For those of you who have ever been expecting your first child, you realize somewhere along the way that your life is going to change. They say it is for the better, and we really believe that; but, that doesn't mean that we can't have a LOT of fun in the meantime!

Here is what we've been doing.....

In February, unexpectedly, Brad was asked to attend his company's annual convention. Conveniently, that just happened to be held on a cruise ship in the Bahamas. A portion of my family were able to come along too!

We hiked Dunn's Falls in Jamaica

Visited a Pirate Museum in the Bahamas

and enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Haiti

Don't worry- Brad did work (a little bit)....

We had so much fun on that cruise ship we decieded to go on another one! This time it was with my entire family and we had the time of our lives!

Moving 17 people across the country is an adventure in and of itself.

But we finally made it!!!

Please notice in these two pictures how we have shirts with Angie's Dad on them with an eyepatch. We call them the 'Johnny Roger.'

17 people also means everyday on the was an adventure too.

Seeing how much we could all eat. (I think my brothers might of won that one :)


Lying out in the sun.

Playing "Murder she wrote"
(Grandma was the queen at it)


Hot tubbing

Playing charades


Enjoying the Sunsets


and delicious dinners


sewing baby blankets (I"m really concentrating on that aren't I :)


and just visiting- a lot


Watched the BYU Basketball games- GO COUGS!

In Fort Lauderdale we attended church and viewed the beautiful sites


In Belize we walked around a bit and then took a boat to this cute little island with only eight palm trees.


There we snorkeled and just had fun

In Guatemala we went to a resort and well...... with this large of a group there was never any down time :)

Girls watching our boys have the time of their lives

Poor Nicole- I don't think she knew exactly what an additional nine brothers meant when she married into our family.

All those years of watching the Calgary Stampede finally paid off for Brad. He stayed on longer than anyone else on our 'bucking bronco'

In Cozumel Mexico we split up
I went with Sylvia and James and did some of this....



Brad went with this bunch


and they rode some of these.....

Overall, it was a trip of a life time.


Thanks Mom and Dad!!!
