I'm Feeling A Little Like This

Have you ever been so tired that you feel like you are going to do this? Well, this is how I have been feeling lately and I don't think it will change until we are moved and settled.

Joey unplugged

Quick post from the plane in Memphis. This is a conversation related to me by Liz this weekend:

Joey: "Mom, we need a pet."
Liz: "Really?"
Joey: "Yeah, we don't even have any pets."
Liz: "Hmmm"
Joey: "Well, maybe I can just wait until it rains cats and dogs and then I can go outside and pick up one of the cats or dogs."

Those of you who know Joey know that he is well beyond his years when it comes to reasoning, manipulation and sass, but it's good to see that at least some parts of his brain are still 4 years old.

Cool Threads

If you are a BYU fan you need to be aware of a new company called Frockly.

They have created some seriously cool shirts for this year's BCS busters. I have it from an inside source that, in addition to the designs currently on the website, a few new designs are forthcoming that I think will become cult classics. The shirts are good quality and look great. Check them out.

Castaway Cay

I think that I would be very happy living on Castaway Cay. The sand is soft and white and the water is crystal blue. Joe and I were able to spend a few hours by ourselves while the kids were checked in to the kid area doing fun activities of their own. While we were kid free we decided to go snorkeling. You will just have to believe me when I tell you about what we saw because our under water camera broke after about two pictures, just our luck since our digital camera disappeared earlier in the trip. We saw some really pretty colorful tropical fish and we even saw an eel and some sea urchins, I could have spent all day out there exploring. After picking the kids up from their activities we all enjoyed hanging out on the beach and splashing around in the water.

We did manage to get some still pictures with our video camera but the quality is not that great. Here are a few from our day on the Cay.

Back to Reality

More to come on our trip, but we wanted to put up a quick few pictures. We got back this morning and had a great time. Our ship had to steer around Ike a little and Joey is upset that we can't live at Disney World, but overall the trip was very successful. Here are a few pictures from the cruise.

The three amigos on embarcation day. Charles was obviously the only one who fully grasped the concept.

The boys with Captain Jack on Pirates IN the Caribbean night.

And a few more of Tori hamming it up for the photographer.

Gone Fishin'

After a few crazy weeks of being apart, commuting, house hunting trips, and other stuff, we are off on a 10-day family trip to Florida. The boys did their part to earn the trip by completing their behavior charts. They got a sticker for every day they followed all the rules of the house and were good boys. After every 30 stickers they got a special trip out with mom or dad, and when they earned 90 stickers they earned a trip to Disney World. We then decided to add a Disney Cruise to the itinerary for our 10th anniversary, but Ike may still have something to say about the cruise. We are scheduled to meet him in the Bahamas on Tuesday.

Regardless, Tori is very excited to see where her favorite character, Minnie Mouse, lives. She even has her outfit ready to go.

You might be able to tell that she had a hard time not twirling her dress...

We'll be back to reality soon enough, posting pictures of our trip.
