Cruise: Boarding the Ship

Our flights left Salt Lake at around 12:30

I always love seeing homecomings at the airport!  We were in security line for so long that I thought I would see the reunion, but I never did!

All ready to go!

We were pretty excited that the flight was empty enough that we had a free seat next to us.  American Airlines had a pretty good selection of movies and we both watched a couple of different ones.  I can't remember our itinerary, but I'm pretty sure we had one stop somewhere in the south.


We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale just a little bit after Erik's parents, and Kelsey, and Jeremey.  We went to Chilis for dinner, and then checked into our hotel for the night.

It was a fine room we shared with the Becerras.  

We stopped at a grocery store the next morning so we could load up on soda and treats to put in our suitcases for the cruise.  We were laughing about going on an all you can eat cruise and then brining more junk food, but I was really happy we had all that haha

McDonalds stop for our late breakfast.

Kaitlin so nicely was watching the kids at our house until my Mom came Sunday evening.  She texted me this picture of Anna's hair all ready for church!  So pretty!

It didn't take too long to arrive at the cruise terminal.

Finally we got our seawards and boarded the ship!  That's always such an exciting feeling!

Our room for the next 7 nights!



The weather was beautiful!  Last cruise we sailed out of Miami, so it was fun seeing a new port in Ft. Lauderdale.


The first of many soft serve ice cream cones haha


Our first dinner was a lot of fun! 

I tried the strawberry soup, and the salmon.


It's funny seeing this picture, because every night after this one we were seated at a bigger table and had a different server.  I almost forgot about this spot!

Desserts choices!

The first evening of entertainment was  Oceanaria, the water acrobatic show. I read that it's best to see this the first night, because if the cruise ever encounters choppy waters they will cancel the show.



It was such an amazing show!  I could never do the things these people did!














After the show, we walked around the park area and I think we tried to find a place to get hot chocolate.  I can't remember if we found it this first night or not.

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
