Valentine's Day Cookies

I told my mom the other day that I was really craving pink sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. It didn't help that, on the refrigerator, we have pictures of my nephews decorating their Valentine's Day cookies from last year. So, every time I'm feeling hungry and walk to the fridge... there are these pictures staring me down! Tonight my mom and I talked Michelle into letting her boys stay the night at grandmas house. What better time than now, with my 2 cute nephews, to make cookies!!! YUM!!!

All done... Time to EAT!

GOING...

GOING...

GONE!

Baja California / Mexico Cruise

In the shuttle on our way to the airport.

Playing Hearts outside the resturant! A 45 min wait is nothing when you have good weather, good company and a deck of cards!

The beloved lifejacket drill and the view from the lifeboat deck we were stuck on! That's the Queen Mary and LA is in the background.

Catalina Island Harbor and a Bird of Paradise (one of my favorite flowers).

We did a whale watching shore excursion. We saw 3 grey whales and these sea lions. We did see one of the whales jump up out of the water, but none of us were armed with our cameras yet!

Formal night. Brad's dad won BINGO! That little card was worth $500!

This picture is more for a teaching moment than a cultural display...I want Kristen and Angela to take notes from the small cardboard sign. Maybe next time we go to a spanish speaking country we will know that "propina" means "tip"... not "tax". It should save us a few bucks!

Everyone standing around El Bufadora in Ensenada, Mexico waiting for it to blow. If we look less than impressed...it's because we were! No action with low tide!

My dad and I collecting sand dollars!

Our ship and the sunset at Ensenada, Mexico.

All of us after we got off of the ship. Yeah it was pouring rain outside!

At Huntington Beach. Savvy...that's a horrible pic of me, but I love you that much!
