I know how to do it!!

Basketball anyone?

It's the fun ship...Part 1

We started off on Saturday around 5 p.m. Bags in toe we headed up to the cities. We stopped off for a burger and Joe Sensor's and then off to the hotel for a good night's sleep. Except that it was not such a good night sleep. Come to find out that the 6 a.m. shuttle and the 5 a.m. shuttle were both booked, so we had to take the 4 a.m. shuttle to the airport in order to catch our 7 a.m. flight. So it was a short Saturday night, but a long Sunday morning.

Everything went great though. Our flight was perfect and getting through security to get on the ship was a breeze. We boarded the fun ship around 2 p.m. The first stop was the food court of course. Ryan and Dustin decided that it would be a good idea to sample the drink specials and after a couple hours of sampling the two were more then well on their way. It was quite comical.

Our first port was Nassau...which was awesome. We decided on the "Discover Atlantis" excursion and couldn't have had a better time. The four of us can't wait to go and spend a week or so at the resort.

Thought I better throw one in of Dylan too

You can look at this picture one of two ways...either Dylan is really large for his age or this recliner is just his size.














Gen, they must all go through the headband stage. Except Dylan is portraying his favorite Star Trek character whereas Sam was portaying his mommy. Either way it's flippin adorable.

Vacation

Here are some pics from our cruise. We started off in Fort Lauderdale, FL, cruised for a day, then stopped off at Cozumel, back on the ship, cruised for another day and were dumped off in FL. I don't think I would ever sign up for that type of cruise again. Too much time on the ship, not enough time enjoy the island. After awhile the ship begins to feel a little small.

So enjoy the pics...we are off on another adventure the last week in February.

Christmas

This has to be the most adorable picture of the three little munchkins to date. Miranda (6), Dylan (1) and Sammy (4). They really enjoy spending time together. Miranda loves to play house and boss her little sister around. Sammy loves to color me pictures and Dylan is always just along for the ride.














This image is cropped from one of our many attempts at a family picture. Aren't the two of them cute. This is my little bro Nicholas (25) and Miss Miranda. Needless to say there was no official Christmas picture sent. I think my mom was a little heart broken. We tried though.














Here is Dylan practicing to be a Shepard some day in the Christmas program at church. My grandma Zoellmer was nice enough to lend him her cane.
















After many attempts of getting an Christmas picture of Dylan...He was good, but I just wasn't fast enough with the camera. It looks like he is begging up to just be done with it.














Dylan and Austin checking out Heather's snow globe. They were more fascinated with the candle in the top of the snow globe than anything.
This is Dylan opening up one of his favorite gifts.


Christmas has come and gone. We were so lucky to be able to celebrate it with all of the families this year. It started out at my parents house on Saturday afternoon, then off to Reid's house on Sunday night, Monday night was spent with the Kuhlman clan, Tuesday it was back out to Reid's for the Reid Family Christmas and then Saturday was spent with the Zoellmer's. Very busy, but we are very blessed to have so much family around us. Dylan received lots of books, trucks, balls, clothes, towels...you name it he got it. He wasn't into it much yet this year. I have a feeling that next year we will have to put a fence around the tree. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
