Our cheers to the cruise..



Before our elegant dinner for all you can eat lobster- one of the selling points for me on this cruise!!!!!!!



Ricardo,Marc and Justin at dinner.. We had three lobster tails each. Next year we will try and save room for more...

The boys at the market.. We have NO plans to go back there next year.. We won't be going there anwyays but still.... they were HOUNDS! Still we can say we've been there done that. I will go back to Jamaica again..just not to the market.. Doc's cave beach was great!

wow an update!!

Ok ALOT has happened since my last real posting.. Let's see Ricardo came home and had alot of time to readjust with his family.. We went on a cruise and it turned out to be one of our best vacations ever! As a matter of fact it was soo much fun that I booked the next one. We are choosing to sail again December 13th out of Galveston and it goes to the Bahamas this time, to anyone who is interested in joining us. My brother's fiance had a little girl in November.. They named her Abby Kay and she is the cutest thing!! I will get to Virginia by this coming summer to meet her in person.. Ricardo's sister Ameli found out she is expecting in August. What a shock that was but a great one nonetheless! We are all anxious for this upcoming arrival. The boys are doing great.. As with having multiple kids, some days are better than others. I long for vacations- almost daily... Some wonder what I do all day and tend to think I get a break daily.. I have to laugh at those comments though I do feel a bit lucky not to have to answer to anyone on what I am doing at any given moment. I might have to speak my mind and tell them to kiss my a$&! Ahh such is life.. I am in school full time and loving it.. Each class is five weeks long and what I would call intense. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed all my classes in the criminal justice field and am looking forward to using all the knowledge I have gained in this field upon graduating next year. As I mentioned all the boys are doing well, making good grades, etc.. If we could only get their attitudes in check at home life would be GRAND!!! Marc is doing well- sophmore, almost straight A's and plays baseball for the school. Justin is doing well also, almost straight A's and is currently playing basketball for his school. His team has done outstanding. He also plays for the base on the side- which means alot of extra driving for mom and dad.. Oh well- its for a good cause.. Ricky is doing great in school- A/B student. He is enjoying his acting class once a week downtown. He is signed up for baseball. Hope that goes over well this season. He is finishing up his basketball season with one more game left. He sure would love to play soccer as well, but mom and dad made him pick just one sport this season.. Having three kids we need to give them limits here! Ricardo finally is managing a program I think he really likes. He'll be traveling to MD/VA quite a bit. I am happy about that as he is accumulating lots of miles/hotels points which I will be using of course... Hey-someone has to put them to good use!!!
Ok guess that about wraps it up for this update.. Next one I will post some pics!
