Jason got Corbin a sunhat to swim in while I was gone!Last week I had the amazing trip of a lifetime with my sisters and my mom. My mom took us all on a mother/daughter cruise to the Caribbean. My mom is an amazing woman who pampered us and showered us with love while we were on our trip. Many thanks to my mom for this amazing trip that I got to share with my sisters and mom! :) While we took no pictures while there because we were having too much fun, we did have a blast none the less. We did take a picture on formal night that we need to scan in and put up! It was a great picture.
My sisters, mom and I had an amazing time just doing nothing. I even read two books which is totally rare now as Corbin has given up naps and we just do "rest time" in my old bedroom and watch a movie together or read books.
We were even wild and crazy and went jetskiing on Aruba. I am glad I went with my little sister Merritt because she went really fast and my sister Carrie drove the other one and she was more cautious! I was terrified of tipping over and falling in the ocean though! But neither Merritt and I or Carrie and my mom fell in. They have the most AMAZING white sandy beaches! We also went on a underwater glass sided boat tour of an old sunken ship from the 1940's. We only lasted halfway through because we all started getting seasick!
I missed my boys like crazy! This was the longest I had ever been away from them since either one was born. It was nice to have a renewed calm and really miss my husband and my sons. I keep teasing Jason maybe I should go away more often to really appreciate what we have! :)
Coming home I just wanted to see my family! I guess I ate a little too much on the cruise because when we had to go through a full body scanner in Puerto Rican airport I heard they lady say in Spanish the word for pregnant! HAHA! In my defense I had a heavy diaper bag around draped across me and I was pushing out my stomach I guess. I was going to refuse the full body scanner anyways because my dad who is a doctor says they have way too much radiation.
The boys had an amazing time while I was gone and they went to Dallas to visit Jason's stepmom's parents and went to the aquarium where they saw Nemo's and Dorie's, Finding Nemo is Grayson's new favorite movie. Jason also discovered that Grayson is a fish and loves the water! Before I left he would cling to you like a baby monkey in the pool and wouldn't let go. Give the kid some waterwings and he LOVES the pool!
I am glad to be back with my family!
While on the trip I discussed with my sisters that maybe we should make my blog private so only close friends and family can read this. There are many people in the world who are good and wonderful but I want to protect my family from people who don't have the best intentions. So tonight or in the next few days I am going to have Jason help me make it private. I think you have to sign up using your email and we approve who can and cannot read our blog. I am sorry to take it to this level of privacy but I want to protect my family. Not that I write here much anymore because I am so busy!
Thing are going to get a lot busier tomorrow because we are starting potty training boot camp. I wanted to wait until we were settled in my parents house and back from my trip. Yes I realize our child is almost three and a half but with moving and everything it wasn't the right time and they say not to start once a significant change is happening in your family. We haven't even started looking at houses, as we are saving money so we are safe for another month or two.
