My Boy

It just doesn't feel like my blog could possibly be complete without a few random shots of my boy, so here you go. This is Peanut. AKA "Nuts," "Mr. Nuts," "ButterCup," and just plain old "son." He's been my little pound puppy since March 2005 when I rescued him. Enjoy these, and know that I have hundreds more!

Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" & "Real American Hero"

I've heard a few of these ads on the radio, but I have to give Kurt credit for sending out this link. There's literally pages of these things here, and, much like a chip, I bet you can't listen to just one!

Enjoy!

Cruise Blog!!!!

So it took me a few days, but here’s the cruise blog.

My grandparents included the whole family in the celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary aboard the Carnival ship ‘Ecstasy.’ The trip also corresponded with my grandmother’s birthday, Robin & my exams and engagement, and my uncle’s new job, so everyone had something to celebrate.

The trip was fantastic. Four days away at sea, and one great day in Cozumel. On board, the staff took a ton of posed and candid shots which are available for purchase. Mom went a bit overboard with those, but that's okay with me as it gave me plenty to share here.

The food was fantastic, we had a good weather, and the escape from reality was very welcomed. From Tom, who runs the art gallery to Rolie who took care of us at dinner each night, the staff on board were tremendous.

Also, I became more active with my camera than I’ve ever done. I don’t think the pictures do justice to the amazing blue of the sea in and around Cozumel. While there, Robin & Mom parasailed while Tom and I went 105 feet under the sea in a tiny submarine (no, it wasn’t yellow, but they did play that song!). The girls got done first, but as you’ll see, they found a way to pass the time.

Enjoy these pictures as well, and if you ever get a chance, a cruise is a vacation I highly recommend.


That’s all for now, talk to everyone soon!

May Birthdays!

May brings two birthdays to our family. Jackson turned five, and his mom made him an ice cream cake that was excellent!

If you asked Robin, she turned a year younger last month as well. I'm not quite sure how to make that happen, but she did get her Happy Bunny cake at work. That made the day better!

Pictures of both are below. Vacation starts in the morning, so the next entry should be have a ton of pictures from that.
