Bye-Bye

Good bye first trimester...you didn't make me feel good and I have nothing to show for it except this "It looks like you just ate a lot bump"...I hope the second trimester treats me better...

Catching Up...

I know I haven't really blogged in a long time but with starting a new job in June and then finding out your pregnant kinda puts blogging to the back burner but here is our first image of our little one set to be due April 23......

Please pray for a healthy mom and baby

Happy 5 Year Anniversary!

and to toast that was a very very very yummy strawberry shortcake from Houston's...

did I say very enough times...cause after finishing my whole dinner and this yummy dessert  I still could have eaten another one!

So you think you can dance Alex & Twitch

Newest Love...

Ever since we got back from our cruise I have a love for the dark richness of coffee and it also didn't help that I had free coupons for these guys...

Now it's my drug of choice every morning...yummy...guess that coffee pot we registered for at our wedding is finally getting some use.

Home Grown

Here are 2 tomatoes that we picked from our tomato plant...

They were delicious and didn't make us sick, a bonus.

How To Catch A Preditor...

When we leave for the weekends we leave the cats outside with an automatic feeder. Well, we noticed little paw prints on it when we were coming home and decided we had a raccoon. So, we set a trap and caught this one the first weekend...

and caught this one the next weekend...

Both were caught and released

Last Stop...St. Martin (French Side)/St. Maarten(Dutch Side)

We did the butterfly and beach excursion...

Here is the marker that devides the two countries on the island (French side to the left and Dutch side to the right)

Here is the view from the bus of the multi-million dollar houses according to our bus driver...

Here is a picture from the butterfly farm (it is one of the prettiest ones and I didn't want to bore you with the other 30 or so pictures that I took) after the butterfly farm we went to the famous Orient Beach where if you feel like getting in your birthday suite nobodys going to stop you. The picture of the sign above is the designated nude beach and no cameras were allowed past that point but it didn't make a difference there were still naked people on the picture taking side.

We did a little shopping on the way back to the ship. The one we were on is the one to the right and then there was another Royal Caribbean to the left and then a Princess one behind that one (we were so big nobody could park on the same side as us).

This is the end of blogging about our cruise. It was a lot of fun! I would recomended it to anyone especially the Freedom of the Seas!

If you didn't get enough pictures of a certain activity then let me know because between the 11 of us that went we have over 1,000 pictures...

Next Stop St. Thomas

In St. Thomas at the small shopping district near port...

A view of St. Thomas from the ship...

Our excursion for St.Thomas was to take the boat above over to St. John's (one of the top 10 places to snorkel) and we went snorkeling at one of the coves where we saw lots of coral and fish and sting rays...

Then the boat took us to a beach where we could swim and hang out...and if you can't tell from the pictures the boat had an open bar...It was a lot of fun...would love to go back and visit =) It was GORGEOUS!

First Stop CocoCay in the Bahamas

Because there is no dock you have to ride this ferry boat "tender" to the island...it was a very interesting ride

Looking around...

The one side of the island was very shallow and you could walk out a pretty good distance...Brandon is holding a starfish we saw and Karyn is holding a conch shell with the snail or whatever you call it still alive inside...apparently they are good/yummy to eat

Here I am pretending to lick a sea cucumber...they were everywhere

Relaxing and getting some sun on our little white bodies...

The Ship, Shows, and Games...

Freedom of the Seas...

Main pool area...two pools, and three hot tubs...The adult pool...

The Kiddie Pool...It had this pool for the kids that was like a tank and it was a continuous whorl pool (you know when you were little and would walk in one direction to make the water go fast and faster and then you would float) Also, this is one of two hot tubs that hang over the side of the ship

This is the Promenade where they had shops and places to eat and then we had a different towel animal in our room every night...

Hanging out at the back of the boat and by the pool. The pool deck also had a ice cream machine with the vanilla, chocolate, and swirl ice cream all you could eat...very bad for everybody ;)

Dinner Pictures...Janelle and I and my favorite in the middle Jene proposed to Karyn at dinner and we are so excited she is going to be a part of the family...Brandon and I...look how red he got

Picture of Brandon and I before dinner at sunset...Aunt Jo and I at dinner...the lobsters that didn't make it...Kate's favorite dish

The comedian on board doing his show and Janelle and I waiting for a show to begin

The ice skating show was really good...that guy spun that circle thing all the way to the ice till it was moving like when you drop a lid on the floor and then maneuvered it back up again...crazy...

They have a huge 70's dance party on the promenade and then there was a Once Upon a Time show where they did modern day songs to fairy tales...guess what Pinocchio was...No Strings Attached by NSYNC...

The love and marriage show was a hoot (yeah that's right I said hoot) and then they have a adult game show and Katie and Jon-Jon where the team captains for our group...you did crazy things like...we had to show the host 4 bras not being worn...2 pairs of male slacks not being worn...false teeth...a human pyramid and canoe... a piercing not in your ear...stupid human trick...splits...favorite sex position..and other crazy things...It was TONS of fun...

Here is Katie and Janelle judging the sexy legs contest...lots of laughs
