Part 1 "30" My personal Cruise...

It all began with waking up in the morning for a day with the family before heading off to work, not knowing what was really going on. On my way to work I was crying because I was going to be late due to having to get gas, just when I received a call from my boss telling me that she scheduled too many people and to go home and enjoy a night with my family. (not knowing the whole thing was set up momths ago). I came home and told Chad the news he was happy. My friend Lori called to go to a movie so off we went. (wish I could have at least known to change my clothes) oh well... When we arrived home she asked me to walk her to the Cabana. Just as we turned the corner there standing was my little brother and Dad with the video camera welcoming me to my "cruise" It was amazing with ropes aligning the entrance and a huge sign posted above

just as I walked in stood about 30 or more people shouting "Surprise" the place looked amazing with decales on the wall and a buffet line of food just as you would see on the cruise. My mom was making Pina Colada's and my good friend Jen made this fabulous cake for me.

Jen is amazing at the designs she does

Our surprise adventure to Newport, Or.

This last week the kids and I drove to Vancouver to spend a few days with my family as well as go to my follow up appt. At my appt the surgeon said that I was improving a lot but when he put sugar on both sides of my tongue I found that I could only taste it in my right side. I still have no taste in my left but hopefully soon enough.

Mom and I decided a few weeks ago that since Mindie had moved to Newport Or. and I hadn't seen her new place or been there we would surprise her. On the way down mom and I were talking to her and pretending as though we were shopping and hanging out tonight, but little did she know we were on our way to see them. When we arrived Maddie went to the door and Mom and I hid behind the car. When Min opened the door to see Maddie standing there her face was excipriceless unfortunately I didn't have my camera out but she was so excited and totally shocked. We had a great night watching Bachelor with some of her friends and toasting to sparkling cider. The kids also had a great time as well distroying their playroom and throwing popcorn all over. All in all it was a fantastic night.

The next morning we headed into Newport in the beautiful sunshine and off to see the Sea lions and not to mention the amazing candy shop we stopped in for a treat. We had a great day and wonderful time. Thanks Mindie for showing us around your new City.

Finally the snow!

Saturday was the day we were finally able to play in the snow, since we had none here we decided to go to the pass with our good friends the Pynns. After driving about an hour total and stopping a few times at several places to find "free" sledding which by the way never happened.

We finally gave up and found a place called "The snow park." We couldn't believe that it costs $20 just to park but with a free pass from some people leaving, and scrambling up change we made it...

The kids got a great nap on the way

Let the fun day begin

After going down once Trey was loving every minute

It was our turn wheeeee

Trey never wanted to stop

We couldn't get maddie to stop she was having so much fun

laughing the whole way down

We finally got to go down together

Avery and Maddie together again having such a blast.

Gotta love Maddie's "snowsuit" thanks to my mom's friend that designs these. Okie.com

Taking a break for a family picture

Thanks to the Pynns we had yummy hot cocoa before heading home.

We had so much fun eating subs, sledding, drinking cocoa, and being with good friends. Thanks guys for a perfect day!

Our Choo Choo boy

I know this post is late but better to do it now than never.This is the morning of Trey's second birthday December 27th but since we were heading to church he had to wait for the fun until afterwards.

Our cute kids ready for church

After dinner we got a chocolate cookie for him since he doesn't like cake or ice cream at all.
He loved blowing out the candles and did a great job

Yeah Trey!

mmmm yummy!

He was so excited about this gift since he was so possessive with his cousins and wouldn't put it down. He just growled all night.

Taking a break from opening his gifts

His first tricycle

Birthday Party at Bellevue Square

This is one of Trey's favorite places to play so I thought why not do his party since it was not only free but perfect for kids.

As I posted before Trey pretty much will only eat cookies so we found this amazing place called "Cookie Design" and ordered 2 pizza cookies. They were a huge hit...
