It finally stopped raining today. Well this morning anyway. It appears that it will rain again this afternoon. It has rained everyday for 2 weeks and it finally stopped. My nieces and nephew and Jack and I took advantage of the sunny weather and went for a hike. It was absolutely beautiful! There were tons of wildflowers and the view was amazing from the top of the mountain. 
Today is my 32nd birthday! It has been a fantastic day. It has been an odd day. I think that today is the first birthday ever (well, that I can remember) that it has been cold on my birthday. It is in the 50's here today and it has been absolutely pouring rain almost all day. I don't remember ever needing to wear a sweater on my day, well today is that day. The weather made me change my birthday plans...no hike for me today and so I mostly spent the day relaxing with family. It has been a very nice day. My sweet brother TC gave me these beautiful orange roses for my birthday. He is so thoughtful, he knows that orange is my favorite color and so he got me the orange roses. I really appreciate him thinking of me. What a great brother. 
Yesterday I went and watched the Thunderbirds perform at the Air Show at Hill Air Force Base. I have been in love with fighter pilots since I saw my first air show while on my mission in Texas. We got special permission from the Prez. to have P day on Saturday instead of Monday, and went to the air show in Corpus Christi. It was fantastic! These fighter pilots are amazing. Ever since then, I have tried to go to every air show by where I am living to see these shows. Here are some of my pics of the show. They amaze me. 
Jack absolutely loves to hike a rock (like a football) through his legs. I was able to get this great action shot of him. It made me laugh so hard. 
I took my nephew Carter on a bike ride around Pine View Reservior. Honestly, I think this has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. These are some of the pics of what we get to look at as we ride. Gorgeous!
My friends and I planned a Caribbean Cruise. Friday night was spent at the Bayside marketplace shopping and playing. We also took a cruise around the Bay in Miami. It was really cool to see some of the places in Miami and especially millionaire row. Where, you guessed it, all the millionaires live. It was a beautiful night! 
Leaving the Port of Miami. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! We are on our way to the Caribbean!
Hopefully we won't be needing this. I thought it was a cool pic either way. 
This is a pic of us in the kareoke bar. That was a ton of fun!

Welcome to Belize......
I absolutely loved Key West! It was beautiful and so much fun!
What an absolutely fun trip. I got some great pics and had a great time!
We spent our last day in NYC in Central Park. It was a beautiful day, but was windy. Anyone who has lived in NY knows that it can be technically warm outside but with the windchill 
it can be downright freezing. That was today. It was sunny and nice, but the wind was biting. We were able to see several street performers, one of them (our favorites) were called the Afro bats (acrobats) They were a group of 3 black guys that were incredibly talented with tumbling. It was so fun to watch. Th
ere were also a bunch of Italian dancers, a Japanese man playing hypnotizing japanese music, and a family singing religious music that was suprisingly amazing.
