Amigas Locas in Cozumel.........Tia's Helen, Alma, Marla, Volpster and Bea show 'em how to drink tequila at Carlos and Charlies!!! Gotta dig those drinking hats!!!!!
We had the extreme pleasure of diving with Greg during his 2nd ever dive! He did great and was so calm.........get that certification Greg...........there are lots of great places we want to dive with you buddy!!!!! You're awesome!

DIVERS DOWN!!!! Don and I diving in Belize........We loved it and will return some day for a dive vacation.


We had such a wonderful time with Uncle Greg..........we miss you already Greg!!!!

Don and Cassidy playing in the little pool with the slide and the fountains in Guademala.....Little girls are never afraid when they have their daddy's by their side!


We had such a wonderful time with our wonderful family.........mom and Jon; Greg and Berta.......We look forward to many more wonderful vacations with you!!!!!


Yet another perk of swinging for the balcony suite........you can let your widdow, sandy booty air out while you stare in amazement at the color of that sea.......


These swings were the seats at this little beach bar in Costa Maya.......too cool!


Cassidy just loved the water and sand and even the sea weed on the beach! She didn't want to get out and could care less that her diaper was GIGANIC!!!!


A cold beer on a beautiful beach with a faithful cruisin' hat........Life just keeps getting better!

Paradise found! Gorgeous Costa Maya, Mexico.........and the guacamole rocks too!!!!


Is there anything better than having a cool dad???? Don and Cassidy playing on the Norwegian Sun.......our home for the next 7 days!


Helen would strongly disagree.......but we think a trip to New Orleans just isn't right until you visit one of it's cemeteries. Cassidy is wearing Tabby's adorable fairy outfit in an attempt to will Tabby back on this trip! We missed you Tabby and wish you could have come!!!!


The girls hangin' in the French Quarter...........jazz and jambalaya anyone?


Sweet Maggie loving on Cassidy! You are a wonderful mommy Maggie!


Don't worry........Cassidy wasn't spoiled at all by her aunties and family! HA HA HA!!!!!! She got a new outfit everyday from her Grandma Foust; her Nonnie Lois; her many aunties.......Marla, Maggie, Ru Yi, Mo, Helen, Volpster and Bea! It's good to be THE Princess (shown here with THE Queen, of course!!!)


We ruled this fun B&B for three nights! The balcony hosted some great hangin' out memories (and empty wine bottles.......) Thank you Schiro's for the warm hospitality!!!!
March 22, 2007........we kick off an amazing bash for Marla's 60th birthday in awesome New Orleans! Can anyone believe this gorgeous and amazing woman is 60?????
Cassidy's favorite plum tree in all it's springtime glory! We can't wait to watch her gobbling up these sweet plums with all their juice running down her chin and belly.......Life is good!

Spring is here! We're having so much fun discovering all the life in our "Secret Garden....." There are buds popping up everywhere........and we plan to live in our Crocs!
