Cruise to the Bahamas!

Last week we went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had so much fun! We went with a big group of twelve and they were all really fun. The weather wasn't the best, but we didn't let that get us down. I got a spray tan before I left because I was so WHITE and I didn't have time to go tanning, so I joke that I was tanner before I left for the cruise than when I got back. On our stop at Nassau we went shopping, went to the beach and went the famous Atlantis hotel. We couldn't make our second stop because it was too windy so we had a "Fun Day at Sea". There was a comedian, and games and I even got Toph out on the dance floor! When we got back to Florida before our flight we went on an air boat in the everglades and saw some alligators. We had a really fun group and laughed a lot. It was so fun to dress up and the dinners were sooo good! It was so nice to get away, have fun and relax.

Our "Fun Day at Sea" We are playing a game.

The air boat we rode on. It was so loud you needed ear plugs

Cougar Hunting

Toph went cougar hunting this weekend and got one! He said it was the hardest thing he has ever had to do. They had to hike up the steepest hill imaginable in waist deep snow to get to the cougar. Once they got to the cougar, it jumped out of the tree and ran so they had to hike even further. It then jump to another tree and then to another while almost killing one of the dogs in the process. The guy that had the dogs thought it was the biggest cat to be taken in eight years. I'm glad he and everyone else is safe.

Countdown for our cruise

We Leave this Thursday to go on a cruise to the Bahamas! I am so excited. This will be the first time we are both leaving Halle so I am a little nervous, but I know she will be in good hands. I will post pictures when we get back.

New Years Day

On New Years Day we went to the the park and went sledding.

This park is awesome, it has a slide that is three stories high.

The slide was really fast and there was no stopping so I had to land on my butt and it really hurt.

This park also has some good sledding hills.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning I woke up with the flu. This is the second Christmas in a row where I was sick. Hopefully it doesn't become a tradition. So, I didn't get very many pictures. I was barley able to get up and watch Halle open up her presents. I do have to say that she LOVED her presents and we didn't hear a peep out of her the rest of the day because she was so busy playing with all of her new toys.

The first thing she saw when she came down stairs was the car. She immediately got in the car and started playing. We had a hard time getting her to open up any of the other presents so next year we will hide the big toys until the very end.

First Snow!

It snowed for the first time this year on Saturday. We thought we would go out and play in it, but by the time we finished the snowman there was no snow left. I guess we jumped the gun a little.

Halloween 09

This year Halle did not want to wear her costume. She threw a temper tantrum every time I tried to put it on. We finally got her to keep it on and were able to take a couple of pictures. She did love greeting all of the trick or treaters that came though.

We can't forget about Max!
