Arriving in Florida on Jan. 23rd!

We arrived in Florida on Saturday around 5 pm we went and got dinner and walked on the beach and called it a long day (because of the flight) and went to bed. We woke up the next morning and everyone else had arrived late last night. They came and picked us up and went shopping and ate lunch. Then we went back to the hotels to watch football. The hotel had a outdoor bar with a big screen right next to the pool. So everyone got in their swimsuits and drank, watched football, and soaked in the hot tub. I would say that by 6 pm everyone was drunk. We ordered dinner in and went back to the rooms. It was a wild first night.

Curtis and I at the pool!

The hot tub was hot and even hotter with the guys in it!

Rena, Josh, and Annie snacking it up!

Rena showing off her husbands cotton balls he bought to go with his gallon bottle of peroxide to sneak his alcohol on the cruise ship. That goes with his gallon bottle of Listerine with vodka and green food coloring (yes he went and bought food coloring. LOL!) in it. That story is to be continued!!! Also Jen is in the picture laughing at all us idiots!

Curtis and Josh

Annie and Linda

Did I mention that Annie almost drank a whole bottle of Crown Royal that night. I thought she might need to be hospitalized. Not only for the drinking, but because she kept trying to kick her face!!! LOL!!!

We had to take a taxi back to our hotel, drunk off our asses, in what felt like the hood.

We are lucky to be alive!!

Dirty "30" Cruise!!

Yeah I know I am not 30 years old anymore, but a bunch of our friends turned 30 this year and booked a cruise to the Bahama's. It was a 4 day cruise and Curtis and I left early and stayed in Florida for 2 extra days. It was a blast and since I have over 200 pictures I thought I would break it up into days. So stayed tuned for the week of a lifetime!!!

SLEDDING!!!

We went down the street to a small hill and went sledding!

It was a blast.

It was a small enough hill that worry wart mom didn't have to worry about them killing themselves, but a big enough hill that the kids could get some major speed!!

Conner could barely make it up the hill.

He could use the exercise. LOL!

Coltin could do this all day and all night!

Dad was happy to be there, can't you tell!

Conner! WEEEEE!

Coltin just went off a jump! LOL!

My oldest is "8" years old! (Holy Crap)

On Monday December 28th, Coltin turned 8 years old.

He got a skateboard, helmet, and a mini ramp for his mini skateboards!

Then we went and seen The Chipmunk's - The Sweakwal!

My mom, my grandma, my sister, my nieces, and Christa and family came too!

It was packed but it turned out OK and Coltin had a blast!

He plans on having his friend bday party in Jan. at Classic Skating!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas morning turned out better than Christmas Eve!

Curtis got his beloved Ipod Touch!

We had to wake up our kids! (I know life is rough, also it was 8:00)

Coltin's Morning Face!

Coltin did get his fabulous Mega Bakugan!

7 Bakugans that make 1 big Dragon Bakugans.

Cali loved Christmas, all the commotion!

I got a laptop!

Which I am blogging on right now,

in my bed while I am watching my recorded soap.

Could life get any better!

Coltin and Conner got a WII Star Wars game,

that came with the light sabers from my dad.

They loved them!

Cali got a hunting duck and she has been playing with it ever since.

Christmas Eve!

We went to my Grandma Larsen's for Christmas Eve for dinner.

It was great my grandma got a scrabble game from my dad and Patricia.

So Curtis, my grandma and I played scrabble. It was so much fun.

Then we went home and like every year we opened our Christmas pajamas and went downstairs to watch The Polar Express! When the show was over we came upstairs to go to bed and I told the boys get in front of the tree for a picture. I could not get both boys to look at me.

So it took a couple of tries, by the time we were through it was a nightmare.

Coltin was hugging to tight, Conner didn't like it so Conner headbutted Coltin.

The last picture it the final picture. What a great evening.

Good memories!!!

Coltin hugging too tight!

Coltin acting like a retard not looking at me!

Final picture!

Coltin crying because his head hurt from being headbutted by Conner.

Conner crying because he got in trouble for headbutting his brother.

What a great Christmas Eve!

Curtis laughing about it!

Gingerbread House and Train!

The plan this year was to make our gingerbread house's from scratch.

Well that obviously didn't pan out.

I ended up buying a house and a train.

Curtis and Coltin built the house, while Conner and I built the train.

Curtis you did such a great job.

Conner did most of the decorating!

Then they ate it!!

After we all cleaned up, Conner was still up at the counter eating!

I am writing this post 2 days later and the house and train are almost gone!

He did enjoy eating every bit of it though!
