Christmas Wishes

Halloween

This year was pretty much the same thing we did last year. The ward didn't do a party are anything so we just carved punkins and handed out candy. We will go trick or treating next year with Jonas and baby boy #2.

 

We recycled the pirate costume from the cruse. Isn't he the cutest pirate ever.

 Pumpkin cream cake that Jacob made. Yum!

 This is how a porch looked to the 7 trick or treat-ers we got. Jonas was a little distracted by his belly button at the time.

 

Disney Cruise

Seriously the best vacation I have ever been on. It was a four night cruise on the Disney Dream to the Bahamas. It would not have been the best with out the outstanding servers and housekeepers. They have excellent customer service and I am so glad we went. My mother decided to this a while ago and it took a bit to figure out when we could. We are so grateful that she took us with her and Gail and the to little ones. I love my family you guys rock. Now enjoy the pictures and videos. 

One of 4 pools on the Disney Dream. Yeah it's pretty cool. The down side Jonas wasn't allowed to swim in any pools on board, because he isn't potty trained. However, Michael and Angela had a great time. The Aqua Duck which is the huge slide on the top level of the ship way fun. Everyone (except for me, pregnant women were advised not to ride so I only did once) rode several times.

Micky's head was everywhere! If there was any doubt of who owned this place, that was your confirmation.

The splash zone for babies was supper sweet. Jonas was a frequent visitor. It was all the Finding Nemo fish spiting at the babies. Pretty fun.

This was at the beach on the Island Nassau in the Bahamas on day 2. Very cool.

Towel animals were in our room every day. I want to figure out how to do this.

Donald Duck when we first got to Cast Away Cay. Day 3.

Rented bikes and snorkel equipment. The island was beautiful and I loved riding around with everyone. The snorkeling was fun but it became a hunt for Angela's mask and Gail's flipper. That was actually more fun than looking at fish which were not really around. 

Pirate party on deck was awesome. We all dressed like pirates and were having fun with the show and characters. When we got to dinner the waiters were dressed like pirates.

A monkey to see us off.

Gail is Back!

This one is long over due because Gail got back the in of September. She is great. I am so glad that she is home. She maybe less excited to be home but that is okay. She has changed in all the ways that are important. She studies harder, she has grown in her relationship with her Heavenly Father, and she has mastered the weirdest language I have ever heard. I forgot how much I love talking to and miss her quirky habits and personality. Bottom line she is awesome and is back from saving Estonia. I love Gail!!

This is a pumpkin patch we went to after she got back. Jonas LOVES his aunt Gail. These two are seriously like twins. It's pretty awesome.  

 It so sort of dead when we went. Okay, there was really no one else there so Gail got to ride the barrels with Jonas and Jacob. Yes, they were the only ones on these things.

Gail dancing with the skeletons. Yep that's my sister and I love her!!

Walking and the Last of the Booty Scootying

This is way late because I have tried to post these before that they didn't work at the time for some reason. So, really Jonas started walking in September. It was a long time coming but when it finally happened I was a little sad to see him growing up so fast.
