Honeymoon (10 years later)

Well, since Gage and I have never had a honeymoon, we decided to do a cruise for our 10th anniversary this year. We did the Western Caribbean, sailing into Haiti, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Cozumel (Mexico). It was a great trip! Here are some pictures of our adventures.



Gage on the Flowrider. This is a blast of water that you can boogie board on (or surf, if you are talented enough).




Mindy on the Flowrider.





We were able to swim with captive dolphins. This was an amazing experience. Something we will hopefully get to do again. Although, Gage says I owe him a shark swim now, since we did my favorite animals, dolphins, this time!





Amazing creatures!





Kayaking in Jamaica.





Stingray City in Grand Cayman. These stingrays are "wild" rays that are attracted to the area by fisherman. They have become used to tourists over time and will allow you to touch them. They are around 5ft in span and weigh about 200lbs. They were much bigger (and stronger) than I anticipated.





Snorkeling off the coast of Grand Cayman.





In Labadee, Haiti. Very beautiful countryside.







Our boat docked off the coast of Haiti.

Camping Trip

Here are some pictures from our camping trip up in the White Mountains. As you can see, Kiah had fun with her "big" cousins. It was great to get out of the heat and spend some time with our family.

Potty Trained!

It's official! She went from diapers to undies literally overnight! We are so proud of her!

Easter bunny

As you can see, Kiah still has her fear of characters....The Easter Bunny was a repeat of Santa Claus! I thought it would be better this time because she kept talking about the Easter Bunny and how he brings candy and presents. Oh well!

Santa Pictures

Well, as you can see, our visit to Santa went a little awry this year. We tried to sure talk Santa up the few weeks before. She did great in line, then as soon as we put her on Santa's lap.....she erupted! (: Oh well. This is will make for a good picture for her teenage years!

Here are some updated pictures taken at Kiah's school!

First Haircut (05/09)

Kiah had her very first haircut a couple of months ago. She did very well. The only part she didn't like was the hair dryer. She signed and said "all done, all done" as soon as the stylist turned it on. She didn't have much to cut, just needed it evened out.
