My friend Bethany tagged me. I have to tell you seven weird things about me. I've been thinking about this for a couple days and came up with a lot of great things. But now I can't remember them because as it was when I was falling asleep. I'll give it an honest try, but if anyone wants to comment and fill me in on something that's weird. I would love to hear what it is. It always makes me laugh when someone will share something about me and all I can do is die laughing, because I can't deny it. So here goes.

1. I love to put ketchup on tacos.
2. I laugh when I'm nervous or uncomfortable.
3. I am a side seat driver.
4. I don't like chocolate.
5. I can go days without a shower. You can ask anyone who knows me. It doesn't mean this isn't gross. I just keep finding new excuses that I'm going to get dirty anyway, and why should I shower.
6. I can control my bodily functions. I don't know what I'm going to burp or fluffy, and neither does anyone else. He he he.
7. I always gag myself when I'm brushing my tongue.

Cruise Time

Is everyone ready to be jealous. My parents decided to take all of their kids on a family vacation together. My mom has always wanted to go on a cruise. So when she sold her last house, she is a real estate agent, she used that money to take us on a cruise. Everyone was able to go except Jayson and Jacquie. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to be in the military and not able to leave when you wanted to. We missed you guys terribly. Mom even paid for the airfare to fly to Long Beach. To tell you the truth. It was one of the funnest experiences I've had with my family. We all acted like 10-year-old children and adult bodies. Just some of the highlights were playing sardines on the ship decks at nighttime. All of the other cruisers enjoyed laughing at us and helping us look for each other. I think they thought it was funny to see 11 adults crammed into a small area, giggling and waiting for the last one to find us. We also did karaoke. I think most of us took a turn except mom and dad. JP got up one night and saying naughty girl. Everyone thought it was hilarious. Then another night he sang a song called Ebony and Ivory with a guy named Malcolm that we met on the cruise. He and his family joined us on the last night to play sardines. The song was of Stevie wonder and Paul McCartney. JP sang the part of Stevie Wonder. And Macolm who is black, sang the part of Paul McCartney, which made it much funnier. Josh and Keaton were well known on the ship by many of the girls and the cruisers. They participated in many of the games and shows that were put on. We also played miniature golf as a family. When we got to Catalina Island. We rode golf carts around and toured. It was very pretty, but also very scary as Josh was driving and almost killed us. Just kidding Josh. We also got to go snorkeling. The water was pretty rough and cold, but it was enjoyable, at least for me. I think Joy got a little freaked out. Dinner time at the table was fun, and we enjoyed laughingand telling stories of the day. We got a little news out of this. Jessica and Justin are expecting. I can't believe it. All four of my sisters or sister in-laws are expecting. They asked if I felt left out, a little may be because I like to share that with them, but we're done, and I can enjoy watching them suffer.
when we got off the ship, we all felt a little woozy. Me a little more than others. I ended up with vertigo, and the flu. The next week was hell on wheels as my family wanted my attention. And I couldn't give it to them. It was an awesome experience, and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I'm not going on anymore cruises anytime soon. More pictures to come soon.

So this year for Sydney's birthday, we decided to go horseback riding as a family .Since it is an odd birthday this year. It means it's family time not friend time. we had a lot of fun, and the girls and Jayven thoroughly enjoyed the horses. I can't believe how fast time flies. The kids are so big and getting so mature. I can't believe Sydney is already nine years old. Here are some pictures of us enjoying the horses. I especially love the one of JP, where he's riding the horse. This saddle is made for a kid, but it was the best horse. for him to ride. I think the caption is, big guy on a little horse.
