The fun continues on SXM

Okay, these pictures are all over the place. I'll do my best to explain them :) We've had a great fun couple of days and cannot believe the week is already over halfway through. We made navajo taco's for about 40 people tonight and they were a big hit! Prices have sky rocketed on the island so we were happy to all chip in and eat in. Candace, Richie, Ben, and I were the chefs :)




Here are a couple pictures of the hotel pool. You can see the ocean in the background...you can go from the pool to the ocean in about 10 steps. It is super awesome!

Above, Ben and I are cooking the beans and preparing the scone dough...YUMMY!

Today we also had an awesome day with the Philipsburg Branch. Above is sister Lorraine and myself, Below is our island grandmothers Sister Handley, Sister Busby, and Sister Bell (She is the one who came to the hospital and helped us deliver Kimber.

Last night We went to the graduation party at the club Bliss....it was loud and lots of drinking so we weren't there long, but we did have a fun time!

Before the club party we went to Bahatzu's for dinner.

It was great and we had an "island moment"

when the power went out, we finished and left before it came back on.

Dr. Cluff's Graduation!!!

Whelp, he did it!! Graduation was today and it was AWESOME!

We are so proud of Ben!! Not only was he an awesome Medical student,

Ben was able to balance being an amazing husband and father as well!

We LOVE you BEN/DADDY!!!!

Congratulations Dr. Benjamin Joseph Cluff M.D.

Dr. Van Der Waag came through the crowd to congratulate Ben.

He was one great guy and teacher at AUC.

I think I earned the right to wear the graduation cap as well :)

Welcome to Sint Maarten, N.A.

We MADE IT!!! We had lots of hours in airports and on planes

flying in those tight, cramped quarters, but we made it!

Oh I might add the ENTIRE red-eye flight from Las Vegas to Miami

I could see lightning flashing every second....especially as we went over Texas...

yep, I was scared and didn't get ANY sleep while Ben snoozed against the window.

Here is the view from our balcony at the Simpson Bay Villa's.

It's got a great view!! We are LOVING every minute!

We went to the sunset beach bar last night for dinner

and to watch the last 747 of the night land.

We made it to the Taco Truck with Richie, Candace, and Brandon.

The view of the pool from our room.

Here we are in the Miami Airport on our way....we were super-duper tired, but thought the fish art on the wall was pretty sweet!

Graduation is tomorrow! More picts to come!

Las Vegas temple trip to see the Baker family's sealing

It was a wonderful day for the Jason/Heidi Baker family!!! We got to

go to the Las Vegas temple and be with them as little Bristol was sealed to their family.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!

These pictures are out of whack, but afterwards we went to Famous Dave's BBQ for an awesome dinner :) We took up a few tables with the whole crowd, but for some reason the other pictures didn't turn out. So here is one table.
