Taya Belle

Tonight we went and met our newest niece, little Taya Belle. She's got tons of hair and she had her eyes open most of the time we were there. She's beautiful and we're so excited to be Aunt Caren and Uncle Dusty to another baby girl! Congrats Dani and Matt!

This is what happens when I have Spring Break ... I have time to craft.

And a few more pics...

These are the pictures off our underwater camera. In Grand Cayman we got to swim with Stingrays! Everyone said that was the 'thing' to do there. We were a little nervous because Steve Irwin died from one of these things but our guide explained that the only part of a stingray that was dangerous was it's tail. I always thought it would sting you, like shock you if you touched it but they said it's like a giant toothpick. They use it against sharks if they are in danger, they'll stick it strait up so the shark can't bite down. So we got in there with the stingrays and they were so nice.
First we fed the stingrays. It felt like a vacuum sucking the food out of your hand. They were soft and slippery and they would come swim right up to you. It was amazing!


Here are the pictures from hiking the waterfall in Jamaica. It was so nice that they let us take our own camera on this tour. Here are some of our favorites!
This was right when we jumped in. The water was a little chilly but nothing like Utah waterfalls.

Pics Finally

Well since Dustin put me on the spot and my sister-in-law that lives in Texas has been asking me to update my blog for the past 3 months I guess I'll finally give in. My motivation for blogging was completely gone. I still love reading other peoples so thanks for all the updates and I'll try to be better. It's a little overwhelming when you've taken such a long break from blogging, I mean where do you even start? This time I'll start with the pictures that Dustin was talking about from our Cruise and then we'll go from there.
WARNING: There are a LOT of pictures!
The most amazing water I've ever seen. Small boat ride out to Stingray City. Coconuts on the beach, does it get any better than that? Our home away from home. Coconuts in Jamaica from a real Jamaican. We found the church in Jamaica as we were walking the streets. Hiking Dunns River Falls in the Jamaican rainforest. The waterfall went all the way down to the beach where we started our hike. Then we hiked all the way to the top. It was beautiful! Our super fun waiters for dinner. Jet skiing in Costa Maya. While we were out there we saw a HUGE sea turtle just swimming around. It was so cool. He kept bobbing his head up and down. This was the beautiful sand bar in Costa Maya. Us to happy love birds on the beach, one of our favorite places to be! We rode 4 wheelers up the beach to get to where we went jet skiing. On the way our guide stopped to show us this big spider monkey. Boat ride up the river in Guatamela. I thought this would be my least favorite place but it ended up being my favorite! It was so beautiful there. Pics from our trip up the river. We saw so many birds that would fly in these huge flocks right by our little boat. I really felt like we were in a Discovery Channel show or something.
We got to get off at a few different spots. Once to walk through a cave and the other time in the jungle to this little community. It was beautiful!
