Our 10th Anniversary

    For Our Tenth Anniversary, we decided to go on a cruise with some friends of ours, who were celebrating their Fifth Anniversary.   We Cruised from Tampa to Grand Cayman then to Cozumel Mexico.   We had a Wonderful time!   Thanks to Grandma Ruth, Grandpa Steve, and Aunt Kim; who watched our Boys!

 

Here we are all dressed up for Elegant Night. We don't get a chance to dress up much, so it was a fun night.

 

Playing a very windy game of miniature Golf.  Earlier that day I won a trophy for hitting a hole in one, in the mini golf contest. 

 

 

 

Here I am in Grand Cayman,  the Rest of our Group are certified scuba divers so while they all went diving (pictures below)  I walked around looking in shops and taking a lot of photos of my self with the sites.

 

 

 

 

 

On our Anniversary November 15, we docked in Cozumel, Mexico.  We went on a great excursion, where we were able to drive our on Beach Buggy to a beautiful beach.  At the Beach we went Snorkeling and had a nice Mexican Lunch.  

 

 

Oh, and we got to see a small Mayan Ruin. This little building use to serve as a light house and would warn people if a storm was coming. The top use to be covered with conchs, so if the wind blew it would make a loud noise.

 

 

 

 

 

We had an amazing Anniversary, one we will remember always!

 

 

And here we are our last night at Dinner with our fun Servers! They really make it a   fun dining Experience.    We can't wait to go again!

 



Halloween

 The Boys were so excited for Halloween this year.  They counted down the days for weeks.  Brian wanted to be a Pirate and Jackson a "Scary, Cowboy Ghost".

 Here they are ready to go out Trick or Treating with Dad.   They just couldn't wait.

 

 

 

The first thing Jackson said as he came through the door and was dumping out his bucket was "Mom, I got M&M's!" Now, they can't stop talking about what they are going to be next year for Halloween.

Brian's First Day of Kindergarten

He was so excited to start School.   I didn't think I would get emotional, but I did. 

Brian's First Tooth for the Tooth Fairy

On August 2, 2012 @ 2:30 am, Brian woke me up to show me he had pulled out his first loose tooth.  He was so excited!  

T-Ball 2012

 

This Summer, Brian enjoyed playing T-Ball with his Friends "The Grizzlies".

Todd's First Triathlon

In July, Todd completed his first Triathlon; something he always wanted to do.  It was fun cheering on the participates.

Here are the boys and our friends watching the swimmers.

 

 Jackson was excited to see Todd come out of the water.

 Coming in from the Bike leg.

Running Strong!

 Brian ran the last few meters with Todd across the finish line.

 We were all so proud of Him!

 All tired out from all the excitement, couldn't even finish his banana.

Brian's Preschool Field Trips 2012

This past year we were able to be part of a wonderful Home Preschool Group.  Brian really enjoyed it.  We took turns having Preschool in our home, and went on some fun Field trips.   In February, we were able to go to the Fire Station.  The only one in town with a fireman pole. 

 The Helmet was very heavy.

 Then in April, we went to Reed's Dairy for Ice Cream and to see the baby animals.

  And for our Last Day of Preschool we all went to the Zoo!
