Thank You Shout Wipes!

Someone's lunch spilled in our fridge. The schmutz from the spilled lunch got on my lunch bag. The schmutz on my bag made its way to my black pencil skirt. I'm giving a guest lecture in an hour. I used a shout wipe and it no longer looks like an infant puked down the front of my black pencil skirt. I am relieved. Thank you shout wipes!

P.S. I know I am delinquent in my blogging. So much has happened and so much is going on that I haven't really found time to blog about it yet. Hopefully, soon. Thank you for still reading. For now, I'm just trying to keep my feet moving and my eyes open.

Our Tobler-Style Caribbean Cruise

We had a great week of cruising the Caribbean with the Tobler crew. We had 5 days of good food, great beaches, great company and loads of fun!

Leaving the Port of Miami...






We spent a day in the pool and managed to have it all to ourselves by the end of the day. The boys thought this would be the best time to create a whirlpool (as if the motion of the boat was not enough).



We were all very vigilant about our protection from the sun...



Although, some were less successful...



Kyle's choice of bathing suit for the week was this cute spandex number. Incidentally, when wet we all got to know him a little better...



There were some fun ports...





Lots of brother-bonding time...



Lots of sweetheart bonding time...







Plenty of relaxing on some very beautiful beaches...







And snorkeling...





We had some fun evenings...eating, dancing, eating, shows, eating, visiting.





Some ate too much and needed Kyle's professional medical attention...



There was also plenty of romance!



Jeff chose Kyle as his partner for the romantic pictures. My long hair was not conducive to these photos. It was very windy!



Even an anniversary!



All in all, it is at the top of our list of favorite Tobler gatherings and we cannot wait for the Peruvian Tobler Family Christmas 2010!

We're Baaa-aaack!

After two great weeks of vacation we made it home last night. I'm back to work today (and totally swamped) and Jeff happily started dental school orientation this morning. We have so many pictures to share later this week!

Back from the Caribbean...

...off to Idaho!

If you need us...

...we'll be in the Caribbean. :-)

Another Reason I Love Our Quarterback...

Amen.

As A Group, We're Not Known For Our Fashion Sense

I met a fellow professor yesterday that used a monacle. Yup, a monacle. It dangled about his neck and he peered through it when necessary.

Sun, Fun & Crab Legs

I had a great weekend with my girls in Orlando over the weekend! Saturday we went out to Jetty Park and enjoyed some beautiful weather. Despite applying sunscreen, twice, I came home quite sunburned! I promise, I am an adult and I do know how to apply sunscreen!

After spending a few hours at the beach laughing, chatting, and wave jumping (apparently I'm bad at this...I always ended up almost losing a piece of my bathing suit and/or with a mouthful of saltwater and/or with saltwater in my eyes), we went to a Hart-family favorite--the tiki bar! They have the most delicious crab legs and sweet potato french fries! Being from a land-locked state, Cydnee was a little reluctant to try them but, after a good dose of peer pressure and a nearly misssed opportunity (ah, ah, ah, cheese sticks!) we all enjoyed a delicious lunch!

Grills Tiki Bar! My favorite biker bar! Yum!



Believe it or not, we got all of this food after inhaling two baskets of sweet potato french fries (with this delicious red pepper jelly...makes my mouth water just thinking about it!)



Ashley played with her food a little bit...



...but I dug right in! It was just as good as I remembered!



After we rolled ourselves out of the tiki bar we had a pretty low-key evening, which was perfect before our day of shopping the next day! That's a whole-nother post! The thrill of the hunt, the posturing for encroaching predators, and the complete satisfaction of the kill (or purchase, if you will)!

P.S. I'm watching the Bachelorette finale...what the!?! Really?? Ed over Kiptyn!?! Boo! Hiss! I'm done with this show.

Ready for a Girls Weekend!

We're headed out of town this weekend! I'm going to spend the weekend with my sister and a couple of our fun Utah girls in Orlando and Jeff's headed to Chad and Janet's in Palm Bay for the week. I've made it very clear that Chad is to return Jeff no later than Sunday, August 2nd--he can be returned earlier but, no later.

I'm looking forward to a fun weekend of shopping and going to the beach! Hopefully I'll have some fun pics to share on Sunday night! I'm not looking so forward to a lonely week at home. Maybe little Violet will pee on Jeff again and then he'll want to come home early! :-)

P.S. Did you all read the article about Tim Tebow in the current issue of Sports Illustrated? Just more reason to love him! 43 more days until kickoff!

Dear Friends,

Please up us eat these. My thighs and Jeff's mid-section would be grateful.
