IFlY

It is spring break!!!  So we are out of here and heading to BC then on to San Deigo.  On our way to San Diego we had to stop in Seattle so that the boys could each experience IFLY.  It is an in door sky diving facility.  Here they are all suited up.

Stefan our little adventure seeker.

Keagan the stud.

Look at those lookers.  He is so cute.

Squishy face.

He is ready to go.

Rylan taking flight

This was Darien's second time and he did great.

Rylan.

Waiting sometimes can be so hard.

Stefan had a great time.

Going all the way up.

Keeping is under control.

Up up and away.

Keagan did so well.

He went all the way up as well.  They all had a great time.  It is not a cheap hobby but it is fun to try once.  :)

Snowball Fight

That great time of  year when you can actually build a snow man and have a snow ball fight.  The rest of the season it is too cold and dry for you to do anything with it.  LOL

What is even better is that you can go outside without being completely bundled to the nine.  Bring on spring.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Our Keagan is 12!!!  Really where has the time gone.  I can't believe that we are that much closer to having two teenagers in the house.  Darien even got Keagan a gift.

The face of someone so thankful to his big brother.  LOL  The million faces of Keagan are something to be seen.  Love the personality of this boy.

Finally a smile.  LOL 

He loves anything to do with sports.  He is such an athlete.

In our house you have to light your own candles.  LOL  Darien the photo bomber.

Happy Birthday Keagan.  You are a great kid with some great ideas.  You are so determined and have a great drive to be the best you can be.  You are a wonderful son and brother with an amazing imagination.  People are drawn to you and love to be around you because you make them happy and feel good. 

We love you forever and always.  Stay true to who you are.

Happy Birthday to our now 12 year old.  Love you.

Cruising

Jamie and I were blessed with the opportunity to go on a cruise together with no children.  Thank you to our moms for stepping up to watch the boys and be the taxi's for a week while we were gone.  We went with two other couples from church and had a wonderful time.  We had three stops.  One was in Key West, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman.  It was so wonderful to be together and just enjoy one an others company.  This was us on our bike tour in Key West

Key West was pretty cool with lots of key lime things to taste and buy.

One of our favorite things to do is bike tours.  It is such a wonderful way to see the town.

We loved all the cute little houses.

This is the farthest point south you can go in the US.

Our ship.  Of course Carnival was our pick, we will never get tired of going on cruises.  It is such a great way to see so many different places.

Grand Cayman we spent the day a the beach.  It was so beautiful ad lovely just sitting and enjoying the view and the sound.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Our view from our balcony.

The sunsets were amazing.

We didn't really love Jamaica.  We loved what we did there which was a hike up some falls and with some cliff jumping off  the falls.  But we didn't like the feeling in Jamaica, or all the pressure to buy things there.  It is one place that we will probably never go back to.

These are the falls we did some jumping from.

This is the man of my dreams.  I can't imagine life without him.  I love him to the moon and back and what we have is so special. 

16 Years and counting up to so many more.  Love you.

Jamie in Nova Scotia

Jamie had the opportunity to have a quick visit with his second mom and dad.  It was a short but sweet visit.  Sherri has not been well but it on the mend.  Cancer strikes every family it seems. 

Jamie loves this lady like a mom.  So it was only natural for him to want to see her and make sure that she was ok.

They enjoyed going to their favorite place together.  Peggy's Cove.  I am so thankful that Jamie has had such wonderful people in his life. He really enjoyed is short but sweet visit.

Provincials

Keagan has had a great basket ball season.  He was actually asked to play up a level in the Provincial games.  He was so excited to be a part of this team and was doing really well.

But of course he got injured. 

He was carried off the court and even managed to get back in the game.

He finished off the game.

He has some great shots.

And it was a great experience.  Sadly, we found out a couple of weeks later that he had actually cracked his knee cap and had a bone chip under it.  So we have spent the next couple of months trying to get it healed and back to normal.  He is still sore but works through it.

Repelling

This was our final big adventure before our holiday was over.  We did a 40' repel and then had to climb back up.  I am pretty sure that we all enjoyed the going down but the coming back up was a ton of work.  The pictures are a little bit out of order.  This is Rylan climbing back up.

Stefan going down the big drop.

He was a great climber.

Darien coming up.

My whole body was shaking on the way up.

Stefan the little monkey.

Keagan on his way.

Jamie finally made it but it was tough going.

Keagan going down.

Rylan was next

I felt like a pro.  Not so sure I looked like one.  LOL

All waiting.  They did the little ones last because they didn't want them to have to wait in the hot sun at the bottom.

Our crew before.  We were so excited about going.

We had Uncle Tyler go first.

Then Darien made his way down.

He actually did look like a pro.  It was a great day.  I love having these adventures with my kids.
