Cruisin' it up

The cruise of 2012. Right after our home selling stress should have been peaceful and stress free, ay?
Nay.
Nay.
Nay.
Are vacations ever stress free with kids? lol.

We decided living with my in-laws for 6 months during the winter (watch out The Shining...I may give you a run for your money) was not enough time with them. So we went on a 7 day cruise with them! And with Brett's brothers' fam as well.

The weather was so gorgeous!! God's beauty is what restores my soul. We got a balcony room and had a view of endless peaceful water and blue skies whenever we chose. Or whenever we weren't napping.
I dont know what was wrong with Bryer this trip (it's not like he has had any significant change in his life lately, hey, lets add a plane ride and a strange new place one more time)...but this kid was whiney. The king of whiners. To his credit, he did fall out of his tiny bed that he shared with Sadie three times in the middle of the night, AND get a third degree burn on him arm. It bubbled up. Blistered. Nastiness all around. Some rude, impatient women ran into my back while I was holding a scolding hot cup of water for hot chocolate (darn you hot chocolate!!! I didnt even need you!!) The water spilled slightly on me but mostly on my little man. The awesome doctor on board gave us cream to help it heal quickly and Motrin...for free baby. Now a week later his arm looks swell.

Here are some of pics of our trip.

We did some rock climbing. Brett starts off. 

I close in.

and........... I win.

Also did some zip-lining across the ship. Brett did not do his husbandly duty and take any pictures of me doing this. So you all miss out on pics of me spread eagle across the zip line with my head thrown back to the wind.
Just.

LaBadee. 

                            

Rocky little island.

Nice views. 

More nice views!
Brett did the flowrider...until he fell on his shoulder, it poped out and he's been in pain ever since...

Pure hotness in the middle

                                 
                                      It was Dreamworks week so many characters onboard.

Formal night at dinner. (Kari....dont' hate. I didnt' buy the same shirt I got O.  I did try :) But it wasnt' in Bryer's size! lol. My  MIL works at Babies R Us and just happened to pick it up for Bryer cuz she liked it. I laughed as soon as I saw it. So long explanation short....I didnt' copy...but I accepted a copy :)

Jamaica. We dont get off in Jamaica. Creeepy!

They had a kids club on board that Sadie had a love/hate relationship with. This was pirate night. They had a show for parents to watch...we missed it....Sadie noticed. Bryer went to the babysitting room a lot!! A lot!! He loved it. The women in there loved Bryer! And we loved being free for awhile! I mean, we LOVED it :) Win, Win, Win all around.

Who is that little stud sitting on the bench with such swag?

Glad to be back in Morgantown to spend the winter. Patiently awaiting our new home to be finished. Ill be driving Sadie to school, back and forth, everyday while here. Which is awesome for her! This is the school she will be attending when we move into our new home, so its not the school she should be attending while at my in-laws...so to avoid switching the poor child three times in one school year the Super let me drive her farther away to her new new school she will be at this Spring. So think of me, everyday, living with my in- laws, and driving a half hour to and from school each day. See you all in the Spring!!!
