Caribbean Cruise!!

There were some amazing musicians in Haidi!

Here's Joseph holding a sting ray in Grand Cayman. We kissed one for 7 years good luck. They are the most amazing animals. As you can see, the water is so clear, you can see everything!

Here's Joseph on the rock wall on the ship. It's much harder than it looks.

Who said pirates are mean? This one in Grand Cayman didn't mind posing with us.

We hiked the Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica. It was so fun, and beautiful!

Here's our ship (Legend of the Seas). It's the biggest ship on the water right now. It was amazing! There's a rock wall, ice skating rink, surf park, and tons more!

Here we are in Labadee, Haiti. Haiti is such a dangerous place that Royal Caribbean (the cruise line) bought a spot of land there and have it fenced off. We played on the beach, then went shopping at the flea market. We've never met such aggressive sales people.

The Kids

Joseph is now 7 years old. He's in 2nd grade in Sis. Chani's class. He loves school, sports (which he's really good at, gets that from his Dad) and reading. He's such a good helper around the house.

Cameron is 4 years old. He does half day Kindergarten (in the morning) in Sis. Jackie's class, and Preschool (afternoon) in Sis. Maryanne's class. He's so excited to finally get to go to school and is doing great. He loves riding his new bike, playing cards and meeting new people.

Asael is almost 3 (next weekend). He gets to go to Ann's house with Kendyll while I go to work. He loves dinosaurs and race cars. And he's potty trained, through the night and all! He's a good helper with Kendyll.

Kendyll is 7 months old. She's sitting up and doing the combat crawl. She gets around pretty good. She's the sweetest baby ever! Only complains when she's hungry or tired. When she wants something, she says Mama. Her happy talk sounds like Dada (go figure).

Weekly Dose of Laughter

With how often my kids say the most hilarious things, I've decided to post them here.

Mar 24th
Asael was crying & Cam asked "Asael, do you wanna breathe? It'll make you stop crying."

April
I was listening to the bible in the van & it said "lest I be struck dumb". Cameron asked why it said he was dumb. I tried explaining that in the bible when it says dumb it means that you can't talk. He said "I know what mom! Next time you want me to not talk, just tell me to be dumb!"

June
Cam: I wish I had 2 heads.
Me: Why?
Cam: So when I fix my hair I don't have to look in the mirror.

July 9th
Cam: Look mom! Someone in our family!
Me: Where?
Cam: (pointing to an elderly woman) Behind that lady that's about to go to Heaven!

July 20th
Asael: How come I'm wearing my ball game shorts?
Me: Cuz you're lucky
Asael: Nu-uh, I'm lucky & awesome & cool. I'm all that!

Sept. 10th
Me: Cameron, you need to take care of those scissors you were using.
Cam: Mom, I'll be a peacemaker and let you do it.

Sept. 14th
Asael had a toy pig wrapped in a fabric softener sheet singing "rock-it baby" (rock-a-bye baby). He accidentally dropped it & as he's picking it up & wrapping it back up says "poor little baby, you shouldn't fall down."

Sept. 22nd (more cute than funny)
Cameron: Grandma (Dorothy), Peter had lots of faith, so he could walk on water. I think I could walk on water, if I have faith.

Nov. 4th
Asael: Jacob did you get a hair cut?
Jacob: No.
Asael: Then why do you look like an army guy?

Nov. 7th
Cam: Mom, it would be soooo cool if the 'whole white world' was full of raisins, then the people could jump in it!

Bear World!

Here's pictures of Bear World. We had a blast! It was really cool driving through and having the bears come so close. We had 1 bear nearly climb on our van. We had to speed up real quick or we would've had a hitch-hiker.
