Happy birthday Evan!

Evan turned 5 on Thursday and we had his party today. He chose a dinosaur cake that I had a gal make for us. He loved it! I cant believe hes 5 already. Wow. Hes such a cool kid.

I am so far behind!

With facebook Im finding I keep forgetting to update the blog. Spring is finally here. However they are now calling for 7 inches of snow this weekend.
Heres some new photos. Some are from the wedding in October but we just got them!

Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Ryan turned 9 this week. Makes me feel old that my first baby is that old! He had a great party with his family and also took a friend and his brother to see "The Spy Next Door" at the theater. We love you Ry!
He had Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts last weekend too. He won Dens choice for the second year in a row. Not the fastest car but the boys choice for "coolest" car.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

I tried but I guarantee I forgot some people when sending out Christmas cards this year. Sorry! Here is the scanned version of our card. All 3 dressed up for Auntie's wedding in October.
Our family photo was taken on the cruise. Evan and Nora have goofy "cheese" faces but all in all a decent family photo so we bought one. We so rarely have all of us in one shot as Im usually the one behind the camera.

Carnival Dream

Last week we got to sail on Carnival's newest ship, the Dream. We had a group of 15, 9 adults, 6 kids. We had an amazing time. In Cozumel we went to Paradise Beach where they had huge inflatable slides and such in the water. Isla Roatan, Honduras was very pretty. We took a private tour and saw much of the island. We stopped to hold and feed monkeys and birds. The kids then LOVED the glass bottom boat tour. Many different kinds of corals and fish. They even got to see sea turtles and scuba divers. In Belize it started out windy and the kids got some play time in at Bannister Island before the rains came. Jim and I went snorkeling and even in the pouring rain it was awesome. So much so close. Very very cool. Lastly in Costa Maya we went and viewed some Mayan ruins.
Now its back to the cold reality and rushing to get ready for the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone!

Winter is here!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Sara and Rob's. The kids are loving the first snow. In 1 week we will be sailing the Caribbean.
