Days At Sea



There is a little story to go with this picture.  It goes something like this:
There was a big boat fogged out at sea.  The boat that was to provide fun for this family.
At the moment, standing in the freezing cold 12 hours into our day, not much fun was to be had but it was surely on its way.


In a holding room with a couple thousand others all hungry and tired.
Not what we had envisioned for our Super Bowl party.


Late late at night we were almost there.

To find only some white rice and a few cookies as they had stopped serving food.
Time for muster drills!!

Not a great start to our trip but it was only going to get better.
The kids couldn't wait for the next day to go out and adventure.


Everyone went to bed after a long day but Jordan and I managed to find some fun in a couple games of Bingo.


Ice cream and bacon for breakfast.


We were behind schedule so we were not out of the Gulf yet.  The weather was still chilly.
The ship had tons to keep us all occupied.


The sun came out and it definitely got warmer!
Logan was already bouncing in and out of kids club.
His first shirt he got there and he painted it himself.

Pretty cool water park on top of this ship!

Larson loved the toilet bowl slide.  It was very fast!


Jackson would hang out at this lookout where you could pelt kids below with water guns.
( I would only let him get Larson)


Formal night




We love eating in the dining room.  Its easy and relaxed.  Everyone just caters to us and we get to just have fun being with each other.





The boys would usually go back after the late show and order room service.  Jordan would go off with her friends and Char, Tom, and I would go find some fun.
Charlene apparently can play the air guitar with the best of them and in 6 inch heels.
Hey, she won a coveted gold ship on a stick and Logan could not have been happier!


Yes, I think this would be Logan having an ice cream cone at breakfast.
All the food that Tom could ever want.



Enjoying another day at sea.


Logan on the big screen.

Im not sure why Logan is sooo happy.  Could be the cool ice carving going on in front of him or the fact that a Duck Dynasty guy is in the pool with him.




Midnight Buffet

On our way to Honduras.

Logan's Birthday- Part 2



Logan is ready to celebrate his family party!



He sure looks older.

Not too bad for none of our local shops having a Skylanders cake.



With this new helmet, maybe he will stop wearing his baseball helmet.

Logan at age 6
favorite color: Gold
Favorite food: chicken nuggets
Loves Kindergarten
Counting the years until he can go hunting
steals Diet Dr. Pepper any time he can
Gets Green (best mark you can get) every single day at school.
Tells people we skip church (and thats not true)
The sweetest kid!
 Thanks Uncle Chris and Joie for joining us.

 He gives his Mom love everyday.
When he hugs he pats my back and that melts my heart.





 We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Logan's birthday.
A couple of weeks ago he said, 
"I should be 8 because I'm too big to be 5"
He will be there before he knows it.

Logan's 6th Birthday- Part One


Happy Birthday Logan!

Mommy had to jump through a couple of hoops but you got your Skylander party.

Logan had a calendar since Christmas he was marking day by day for his birthday countdown. 

We chose Pump It Up because it is a party place with bigger and better slides and jumps, etc .  The other party places seem a little young.
This was the cyclone machine.  The kids would get in and the cyclone would come.  They loved it  but they would cover their ears because it was too loud.


 Logan got 2 hours to have continuous fun with his friends.
The slides are big enough for adults so I took a couple of runs with Logan and his friends.
He was able to invite his kindergarten class and some extra friends.
45 minutes of the party was done glow in the dark with disco balls and music.  Everyone LOVED this!!!


To the party room.


 Basically, we called this the "present mob".  The kids were all too excited to give Logan their present.
He really had fun with everyone.



 A birthday doughnut cake!
This party was at 9:00 in the morning.
Doughnuts, juice, and milk was on the menu.
 All the kids had smiles on their faces.  The party was really fun for all of them.

 Jackson was the only one to be able to make it.
Jordan was sooooo sad she missed her little brothers party.  She was at the SAT.
Larson had a basketball game so he kept his commitment there.
The celebration would continue for the weekend so they would be able to spend more time together.

 This guy is called "Motion of the Potion" and he gives the party a big thumbs up.

So does this guy.
He is melting my heart here.
Thank you to Pump It Up for giving Logan this special blow up party hat that he now wore the rest of the weekend.
Guess what we spent our Saturday doing?
