The Goods: October 2012

Last week we got back from a 7 day cruise on the largest ship of the ocean right now. It was amazing! I had never been on a cruise and got totally spoiled. Thurgoods wanted to do a big family trip for many reasons... Spencer Roo going on his mission this next summer, Carollynne had her 50th birthday, and we will not be able to go on a vacation like this for a bit as we are expecting a baby girl this February. So things are a bit crazy! This trip was amazing! So thank you Randy and Carollynne for spoiling us. Here are some sweet pics from the trip. Ryder was such a good boy I couldn't believe it!

Sorry for all the pictures! I didn't know how to choose some and not the others!

The cruise theme for kids was Dreamworks so a lot of the characters were there from some of Ryders favorite Dreamworks movies. Here we are with Gloria the Hippo.

Ryder and Grandpa riding the Carousel. This happened MANY times on the trip.

Here we are at Nassau Bahamas! That is the resort Atlantis behind us.

Ryder playing in the kids area! He loved swimming in the kiddie pools.

Who know what he is doing... just being silly I guess! : )

Ryder and daddy from our balcony looking over the Bahamas. The BEST way to wake up in the morning!

Ryder playing golf (one of the hundreds of times) he played that week! He was obsessed!

We took some floaties and immediately Ryder wanted to swim by "self" as he called it. He jumped off the sides, would float on his back and even kick to where he wanted to go and did it all by "self." It was crazy to see my baby in the pool swimming like a big boy.

More swimming and crazy hair!

Yes there was even a huge theater on the ship where we got to see Hairspray! It was awesome. There is the baby bump!

More golf!

Here we are as a family of 3.5 on our balcony overlooking St. Thomas.

Here we are waiting at the outdoor Aqua theater for the coolest dive show I have ever seen.

Ryder and I playing on the beach at St. Maarten. There is a very good picture of the baby bump! Wow bigger much quicker with kiddo number 2.

Fancy night

CR making the boogie boarding look easy... I say that because right after that cute Spencer Roo got on and about broke his nose - blood everywhere and as Ryder would say got a bad "boo boo." Love you Roo!

Hello everyone! So this is extremely late but it's fine! We had the opportunity of going to Lake Powell awhile back. It was a lot of fun for the few days we were there. (We can only handle a few days with the crazy man)! Enjoy!
