    Carnival Sensation {4 Day Western Caribbean}

    March 31, 2010 - By 

    Writing my last post about cruising definitely got me anxious to write about our 2nd cruise. Although, there wasn’t a whole lot of writing to do, since Rob had written most of that up after we got back. As for this post, I’ll be writing all this from memory using the assistance of the Carnival Capers [I saved], my pictures, and the internet to help me remember some of the details. Anyway, we went on our 2nd cruise in November 2002 with Rob’s Mom and Step Dad, Alice and David. It was their first cruise. We enjoyed showing them the…

    Spring is…

    March 28, 2010 - By 

    really teasing us. After one of the coldest winters we’ve had, we are SO ready for spring. I took these pictures last weekend while we were in Baton Rouge visiting family. Candi has this beautiful tree in her yard. I’d like to add some of these to our yard someday.

    Fun on the Carnival Jubilee

    March 26, 2010 - By 

    In 2001, Rob and I wanted to do something for spring break and we had thought about cruising. Although, we didn’t know much about it. We had some information we’d heard from various sources. In January, we decided to go visit a travel agency and see what kind of info we could get. We ended up at Adventure Travel with an agent named Sue, who could not have been a better source. She is a cruisin’ queen, with lots of personal experience. She knew all the ins and outs of cruising. After talking with her for over an hour, we…

    Learning to Ride

    March 25, 2010 - By 

    The weekend before Alex turned 6 he decided he was going to learn to ride his bike. I was so proud that he and his big brother were outside working on it. In 2 days he pretty much had it down. Over spring break we went to Town Creek park. They have bike paths that go through the park. We also went over to the school, where they have a nice big parking lot so that he could ride and practice his turns.

    Spring Break 2010

    March 23, 2010 - By 

    This spring break we just hung out. When it wasn’t raining, the boys and I went outside to ride bikes and play. The 2nd weekend of SB we went to Baton Rouge to visit family. We always look forward to Cajun food when we head over that way. We went to Chimes on Sunday after church. It was so yummy! Rob had Red Beans & Rice and Crawfish Etouffe. We had Boudin Balls and onion rings for appetizers. SO yummy! I had the Catfish platter, which came with Red Beans & Rice and Hush Puppies. Although these beautiful flowers had…

    The Little Girl in Me

    March 17, 2010 - By 

    For some reason, Rob gets an American Girl catalog. Oh, I just get all giddy looking through it. It’s a good thing they weren’t around when I was little. I’m not sure I would have had a collection of them like I did with Cabbage Patch dolls, but I sure would have like to have! I know CP dolls seemed to be quite expensive back in the day, but I know they weren’t $100. Anyway… The other day as I was looking through the American Girl catalogue, I found myself looking through it as if I were going to be…

    Conversation {Tails}

    March 14, 2010 - By 

    This little conversation came after Alex asked me if it was cold outside. Alex: Rosie must get cold. She doesn’t have a tail. Me: That’s right. Alex: Don’t most animals have tails? Me: Yah Alex: Are there any humans that have a tail? Me: No, we don’t have a need for a tail like animals do. Alex: That’s why we get cold easier than animals.

    Six…

    March 7, 2010 - By 

    How can it be? I just swoon when I see this pic of my little guy. How I miss the tiny-ness of holding a newborn. There’s nothing holding a little piece of you. Someone you created… Someone; a baby that grew inside of you. Someone that relies on you 100%… There’s just nothing like it! Happy birthday, Alex! Love you…….

    Food Rules

    March 6, 2010 - By 

    My last week at the library I saw this book, flipped through it, and decided to check it out. I loved that it was short, sweet, and to the point. It outlines 63 rules about food. A lot of it is common sense, but I think for a lot of us we have lost our common sense when it comes to food. Anyone else agree with me there? I know deep down, I know what’s good and not good, but when I’m “on the go”, I just throw all that out the window. And I drive up to the window!…
