Our Tropical Vay-Cay Part 1

We had soooo much fan the last ten days traveling together to the

 Western Caribbean Islands!

 It was a MUCH needed and wanted vacation.

Here are a few pics. There are more to come...

Just Casey and a Chicken.

Here we are about to go snorkeling in 

Grand Cayman and swimming with the stingrays. 

It was so amazing! The stingrays were EVERYWHERE and HUGE! 

The largest one was six FEET wide. 

Yes. The water is REALLY this color in person too.

It was amazing.

See what I'm Sayin?? I am not crazy. 

Literally ALL my friends are Preggo. 

Is this normal??

So for those of you who don't know, we are going through the wonderful world and journey of infertility. I don't like that word though. I don't think I am infertile, I just don't think I am really crazy fertile.

 I just think that all things happen for a reason and at the right time.

 And so for us, it just doesn't seem to be the right time. 

Which is okay. It's just hard waiting.

 I sure am learning the skill of patience.  

Anyway, I just thought I would share for two reasons: 

             1) People are always asking us when we are going to have kids and quite frankly it is starting to bug me. :)

    And 2) I am guessing there might be one or two of you faithful readers who are going through this too. 

So if you are, we could be buddies. 

There isn't much I feel uncomfortable talking about. 

I am a pretty open book. 

*And for the 18 of you who are my pregnant friends and family, 

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED FOR YOU!

I really do mean that. 

By the end of September there will be 18 babies in my life. 

{19 because Sarah is having TWINS}

That makes me a Happy Camper.

I'm LEAVIN on a Jet Plane...

Ahhhh...... pure bliss is where we are headed. We leave Saturday to fly to Tampa, Florida, and then set sail on a Carribbean Cruise. We have been planning this thing for a whole year now and I just could not be any more excited! I can't believe it's finally here! I just had to tell someone how excited I am! I will think of you all as I am laying out in the sun and sippin on Pina Coladas!

GUY LOVE

I just could not resist this fabulous moment shared between Casey and Jared. :) It made me laugh.
~Jared had been complaining about his back hurting all week long. First, he borrowed our back massager, and when that didn't work, I took matters into my own hands....
By peer pressuring Casey to just rub Jared's back for him.
{You see, I know he is good at this because of personal experience.}
It seemed to do the trick.
Casey has a cousin who he also shares this "Man-Bond" with.
And it made me think of this video...
ENJOY!

UTAH PRIDE

Friday Night we gathered with some friends to watch the coveted
SUGAR BOWL.
Utah vs. Alabama.


Aw... Casey and Jared wore twinner hats. 

So cute.
They were two HAPPY boys to see their beloved Utes take the VICTORY!
The very next night we went to dinner at our FAVORITE place in town.
{Porcupine Grill}
One of their BFF's, Trevor, plays for the Utes
and was already home to join us!
{Moss, #46}
The boys were sure proud of this guy!

And here is a little baby bonus for you:
Cute Erin is gettin ready for Baby Boy to come!
Only about 6 weeks left!

{It was a Fantastic Weekend}
