Thanksgiving Cruise!!

We finally went on our first cruise. We booked a Thanksgiving cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line. It was a Bahama cruise for 4 days. It seemed best to book a small cruise to see if we liked it or not first. It went to 3 different islands in the Bahamas, one being the cruise ships island. We really enjoyed it and are planning one for next year....but longer than 4 days!

I really like that they paint their ships. All the ships have a different painting. They are beautiful!!

Veggetti

If we eat pasta it's very rare. I don't buy it anymore. I think I still have some in my pantry but I can't remember how long it's been in there now. I was using it to ween the boys off pasta...lol. When I make a pasta dish, like spaghetti, I use spaghetti squash. I'll have to make a post of the "pasta" dishes I make. Instead of using spaghetti squash every time I want to use a long "noodle" I bought this Veggetti thing. I really like it! I can make zucchini "pasta" and summer (yellow) squash "pasta".

Fun at the range

We go shooting at a range near our home. We had fun....we always do.

I'm a dork...I know.

Baby Shower

I know it's late....but better late than never, right? Hailey is two months old now so a least it's not that late...lol. I actually thought I had already posted it. Went thru my iPhoto and found a lot I haven't posted yet, oops! So I figured I'd start with the baby shower.

Love the East Coast!

I was raised on the northeast coast of Florida. I meet my hubby when I moved to the southwest coast. That was such a blessing but unfortunately I don't like it in Southwest Florida. One day I hope we move over to that area I miss so much! Until then we vacation there often.

Art Show

Earlier this year we went downtown to an art show. The talent was awesome!! There was so much more than what I took pictures of. So here is what I got. Enjoy!

I would of loved having one of these seahorses! They went into the children's hospital here.

Love like no other!

My daughter was pregnant and I have been occupied with it all! So now she has had the baby...yay!! And has moved out...poo and yay....mixed feelings on that one. No one wants to see there kids go and yet I want her to be her own adult. So my days don't have her in it as much as when she was with child...haha. I have decided to try to use this time to get back to our little family blog...yay!! This post, of course, is going to be the start of getting back in the swing of things. And it will be of my awesome, most wonderful, beautiful, precious, awesome (did I say awesome)....grandchild!! The new love in my life!! Oh and my daughter....my world!! Okay, I'll stop and post the awesomeness.....

A day at the Park

We have a preserve down the road from us. A nice place to take walks. They also have trails for horses and bicycles. We took our big dog with us to enjoy a walk on the hike/horse trail. He got to see his first horse and just looked at the big 'dog'....lol.

Cinco de Mayo

I know....this is way late! I'm posting it now tho. We had a great time. Things are slow on the blog for me so I am going to take some time while I have it to play catch-up. Starting with Cinco de Mayo.

From the garden

I posted about the garden we are trying out in the yard. The potatoes were done and I harvested them. And we got one tomato so far. The other tomatoes are still growing. I'll take them as they become done. We did't get much potatoes but we were very happy with what we did get.

Minecraft cake and fishing

Our son's 13th birthday was last month and I made him a Minecraft cake. He likes the game so I figured it would be nice as a cake. Plus he went fishing and got a pretty big one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!!!

Our little Tater Bug!

Our daughter is pregnant! She is still in the early stages but we are excited!! So to share the excitement I am posting this....picture and heart beat.

Georgia storm duty

Hubby went to the storm duty in Georgia. He was gone for a week. He was in north area of Georgia and was cold the whole time....poor baby! I was jealous! Anywho, he took pictures for me and got some from others that were there taking pictures.

In Loving Memory of:

We lost another loved one. This is a post for her.

Tidbits

So I have some tidbits of pictures to share. A few things from me and from Logan. I decided to just post them together to make the post a little bigger.

This is what happens when the nights are really cold!!  lol

He stayed that way the whole night.

Our new recreation center

Love it! Next to our park/playground and our library they built a large recreation center. We went down there a few days ago to check it out. Got information and went back a few day later to sign up and become members. We couldn't include Nori in the family cost because she is now an adult :-(

Breakfast pizza

I wanted something different than the same egg options for breakfast. So I came up with this breakfast pizza. It was really good and will be making it again. Bonus: easy to make!

Everblades Hockey game

A friend of mine gave me 4 tickets plus a parking pass to the Florida Everblades hockey game for Saturday night. None of us has ever been to a hockey game and some of us (like me and the kids) have never been to a real live sports game at all. We were all so excited to go!

Who would of thought!

We were redoing the living room and decided that the big couch had to go. So we tossed it out for the garbage man and got another love seat....much better! Then something happened that ended up being a really cool thing!

Oven bread

I have posted about homemade bread and gave the recipe to try. I have played with it, like I said I would and hopefully you did, and found the best combination that works for me. Here I will share the ingredients I found to work for me and how I do it now.

Curry Chicken

I made curry chicken for dinner the other night. If you like curry you will love this!
