Cozumel Cruise Day 2

Day 2 of our cruise we took a jewelry making class were the instructor was always yelling at everyone. It was pretty funny! We also tried out rock climbing! That is alot harder than it looks! Then we played a few games on the ship and met some interesting people! And of course we ate and ate some more. Check out all our desserts in the bottom right corner! We had some awesome waiters too. One of our favorites was Alexsandar. (pictured in the upper right corner). He was always so friendly and nice to us every night. Royal Caribbean really has some great people working on their ship!

 

That night we also met up with the owner of my favorite scrapbook paper company called Echo Park. Madison and his wife Kesha were very fun to hand around with! We went to their classes they taught and made some great projects! One of the main reasons we went on this cruise was to scrapbook, but once we got there we barely showed our faces in the room. There were some dedicated scrappers though that rarely left the craft room other than to sleep!

Cozumel Cruise Day 1

Day 1 of my cruise with Elizabeth didn't start off too well if you must know the whole truth. We boarded the ship, put out carry-ons in our rooms and went for a walk to look around. We spotted the pool and thought it would be fun to have some pictures by it. The water was very shallow and so I rolled up my pants and got in. For some reason, I decided to take a step backwards to the next step down. Instead of a step, it was a 6 foot hole! I fell completely in, fully dressed! When I came out of the water, everyone sitting around the pool was staring at me. Some yelled, "Is it warm in there?" and others said, "Way to get the party started!". Others were clapping and cheering. I knew the only thing to do was to laugh it off! Liz went and got me some towels and we waited around for our clothes to be delivered to our room so I could change.

After I changed into some dry clothes, we played putt putt golf on the top level of the ship. It was super fun and we laughed a ton! We also tried out many of the desserts that day! We knew we were hooked! That night we went dancing with some new friends we made. It ended up being a great day after all!

Snow much fun!

My kids are probably alot like yours... They love to play in the snow for hours! Even when they are turning red, they still are having a great time building forts, making snowmen and angels, sledding, and jumping in it! A truck on our street plows all the snow into the dead end next to our house every time it snows. It makes for a fun sledding hill and play area that my kids can't wait to try out! Just took this one picture, but I love how happy they all are!

Pizza, Trains, and Friends!

For Evan's birthday we went down to Orchard with our best friends, Liz and Blake! We ate black olive pizza at Marco's (our favorite) and then rode the train around afterwards. Blake and Liz gave him his own lock box for his birthday filled with all kinds of treasures! It may seem like a strange present, but it was the perfect one! Evan has an obsession with locks, keys, key chains, hooks, etc... He was in heaven! Thanks for the fun day Liz and Blake. Evan said he had a great time and a great birthday!

80's Day!

Courtney wanted to dress up for 80's day at her school, but I didn't think we really had any 80's day apparel. She asked me what they wore in the 80's, and all I told her big hair and bright colors! I gave her some leg warmers I had and she did most of the rest! I think she looked so cute! She has always loved bright colors... I think she wishes every day was 80's day!
