Carnival Fantasy Cruise-Day 1

So day 1 of our cruise...we leave out of New Orleans at 4 pm...drink #1 in hand! Hey, we needed a cute little umbrella drink! Let the PARTY begin!!

Our fav drink...The Cruiser-1 shot of rum, 1 shot of peach schnapps, 1 shot of vodka with a splash of orange juice and cranberry juice!! YUMMY!!!!!

Yep, we are so gonna hit the water slide while we are here!!

Adios Greater New Orleans Bridge! Hasta Luego! (Spanish for: See ya Later!) Hey! I guess a little bit of Spanish 1 in 10th grade did stick. Or its from my friend, Rocio! OK- I hope that was right or I just made myself look stupid! LOL!

So all the food you can eat is FREE! Why not try everything!?! I must say, I am still not a fan of what we call bait!

A few Cruisers later...Karaoke sounds great!! Yeah, this is Mary and Morgan...just met them like 5 minutes ago! They were great! Mary is a preacher's daughter from Minden, LA (AND KNOWS MY COUSIN EDDIE!!) ands Morgan is her best friend that lives in Jena, LA!! Small world!

This is our snake friend. Every night they turn down your beds and leave the itinerary of the next day's activities and chocolates on your bed. And you get a different towel creature to great you every night!

Our portholes to the world...well, the Gulf.

Our room. Small, but the BEST beds you will ever sleep on! Down mattress toppers, down comforters, high thread count sheets, down pillows...aaahhhhh!!! The gentle rocking of the boat, puts you to sleep like a baby! Or maybe it was the Cruisers! HA!

*Note to self: Room was kinda small, but all we did was get dressed and sleep in it.

Happy Birthday Unkie Doug

So the Wednesday before I left for my cruise, it was my brother's birthday! Mom, Kainaan and myself drove to Hammond to celebrate with everyone! We ate at Adobe, an awesome Mexican place, and had cake at their house afterwards. Enjoy the pics!
Happy 35th Birthday Unkie Doug!!

Gone Cruisin'

Hello Everyone!
I am goin' cruisin' today!!
We (Misty-my cousin and Myself) are heading to Cozumel, Mexico! Look out Senor Frogs...here comes trouble! :-)
So get ready to see lots of pictures on here when I return! :-)
And don't worry, I will be out of touch by email and phone for a few days- but I promise I will think of everyone while sippin' my Bahama Mama!!

Spring Forward!

Just wanted to post a friendly reminder to spring forward by 1 hour on your clocks!

Spring time is almost here! Goodbye Old Man Winter!

Hey, You're Lucky...We're Going Bowling Tonight

Well, Kainaan is feeling much better after a long week of being sick. Unfortunately, Tim and I are still congested and coughing. But we felt so bad about not being able to do anything all week, we just had to get out of the house. Poor Kainaan was ready! So we went bowling!
We bowled once before but it was over a year ago for a charity event, so Kainaan couldn't really bowl a lot. But today it was just the 3 of us! He had so much fun, well after the first couple of frames. He got mad when we had to teach him how to wait for his turn. But he got the hang of it and it wasn't so terrible then. Kainaan had the bumpers, but I think I needed them more than he did! He can wear a kids size 10 shoe and carry a 6 pound ball all by himself! We are so proud! :-)
Enjoy the many pictures!


Kainaan's ball!


Daddy was a little nervous at first!


Whoa! Go go go go ball!


Is it going to make it? (What's up with tongue?)


Just one good push...


I guess the tongue makes him bowl better.


He is soooo strong!


Is it ever going to get there guys??


Snack time!! Yummy bowling alley food!


Breaks over! back to work!


We could tell he was starting to get tired of holding the ball so we got the kiddie frame to help him. I think he did better without it!


OK-I'm waiting! Where's my ball?


Here is our final score from Game #1. Tim did great! And there for a while my 3 year old was beating me! :-)


Concentrate...PUSH!


His shoes are so cute...they are just so little!


Our last game scores and our total scores from both games! Yeah, I suck at bowling...I beat my 3 year old by only 36 points! LOL! Yeah, I am baaaaaad at bowling.


Big Boy 10, Little Boy 10


Follow in Daddy's footsteps...

Sniffling, Sneezing, & Coughing...Oh My!

Hello everyone! Sorry its been a few days since I posted something, but we have been dealing with a sick kid since Friday night...ugh! We ended up at the Dr.'s office on Monday, and after a urine test (yeah, that was fun trying to get Kainaan to pee in a cup when he is still not potty trained...but we managed and made a mess) and blood test, we have a viral infection. Great...just let it run its course, I have grown to hate those words! Oh, and he was dehydrated. Oh boy! So we are supposed to give Tylenol and Motrin to a sick boy that gags and throws up the medicine...yeah, right! Oh but wait, it gets better...Mommy got to go buy Tylenol SUPPOSITORIES and KY Jelly. HAHA!! Needless to say, we are both upset about this. YUCK! Man, nobody tells you about this crap when you are pregnant! Thanks everyone!!
So to top it all off, Tuesday he starts feeling better, but Tuesday night we were back at square one! His fever spiked up with a vengeance. What!?!? Fever for 5 days?? SOOOOOO, off to the Dr. again! This time, he has a secondary infection from the viral infection which is now causing a double ear infection. Ugh! And I am now fighting a sore throat and sneezing. Yea, Mommy's turn! So, Kainaan has an antibiotic to take (wish us luck since he throws up medicine now) and I have dayquil and nyquil.
Life is just peachy!!
But I had to post these pics from the other night. Tim was not feeling well and fell asleep on the couch. Kainaan was feeling OK and was putting stickers all over his face and shirt. But why do that to yourself when there is an easy target asleep on the couch. HAHA!!

He is so proud of his live artwork!


Yep lets add another one there...


Tah-Dah!! Sleeping beauty is now a masterpiece!

Must Be Nice, Huh?

I want to be a dog in my next life! But with my luck I would be a mutt on the streets! Ha!
I guess the sleeping bug was going around our house this afternoon. Who could blame them, the NASCAR race is a bit boring today...


Dipsy looks comfy...what a lug!


Cheeeeeesssssseeeeeee!!!!!


Oh please get out of my face! Let me sleep!!


This one was sawing logs...AND catching flies!?!?
