Fairies and Hearts

His writing is getting good!


The boys were wrestling,
when Seans head smacked
Trent in the mouth.
He started screaming and crying,
until he realized his tooth was loose!
"Thanks brother!" he said!
A week later and BAM----!!!


Dad was surprised!


He was SO excited!
(Who knows when this would have happened naturally!)



The school nurse
did the final pull,
and he got a treasure chest,
just what he wanted!


HE made sure the
Tooth Fairy could find the tooth!


Happy Valentines Day!






Sean's photography...




"to mom and dad.  I wud like to go to (disney) land"

Cruise 2016

We are addicted.....!!!
And blessed to be able to travel together!
Eastern Caribbean Cruise 2016!
Celebrity Reflection
Top 2 of our favorite cruises!
Food and entertainment top notch!

First stop,
San Juan!




I had meetings in the morning,
then we got lazy
and just stayed on the ship.
My goal was to be lazy,
so the "business" side of the city
didn't look too inviting!


I guess our attendant
thought Jake should do plenty 
of studying!


Our buddy.


The entire trip was pretty rocky.
But, I must be becoming
a cruise pro,
because for the first time
I never got sea sick!



We tried to take plenty 
of picks to show the boys 
what the middle of the ocean,
in the middle of
no-where really looks like!
I stay pretty calm 
most of the time....
until
the captain tells us
the water is
15,000 feet 
below us.
That kind of freaks me out!



Pulling into St. Marten.



We had a trip planned
on the "Mercedes" Sail boat
AKA- "The Tall Boat".




I am actually pretty terrified of
sail boats.
But,
who doesn't like adventure?!




Although it was VERY wavy,
it ended up being a great experience!






This crew works hard!




Our Big ship!


St. Thomas,
onto another 
Pirate Sail Boat!



This day was like 
riding a roller coaster
on the boat.
I can't believe 
I once again didn't 
get sick 
or have a panic attack!



Float boat came in for a landing!




The rough ride was TOTALLY worth it!
Arrived at a cove
to snorkel
with the Sea Turtles.



Then, on to
a private island for lunch
and relaxation.



So amazing!
Peace.



Our ship was only 2 years old,
so very updated.
In the center was a huge hanging tree.
It was watered
through tubes from the outside,
draining down to its roots.
Very beautiful.


The library area.
(we didn't discover a few places until the last night!)



Welcome back to KS!



We had a wonderful time
and were so thankful
for my parents
spending the week with the boys.
