Kids say the funniest things sometimes. At Wyatt's parent- teacher conference we were discussing the S, instead of a H he received in uses self control. I said that he needed to practice that at home also. Wyatt responded, "If I had a brother, it would be easier to have self-control" He thinks that his sisters cause him to lose his temper. I told him that wasn't going to happen, so just get use to it!
We were cleaning the house today. Lacey came over to me and said, "My heart is breaking" After asking why, she responded, "because of all this hard work I'm doing" Cleaning her bedroom was such a chore!!! Later, she made up a song and was singing about how hard is was to work, but we have to do it!
This is one stop on our golf cart tour where it was a perfect picture place with our ship in the background.
Here is our family on the shore at Catalina Island.
Meagan buried Lacey and Wyatt in the sand on the beach.
The kids loved playing in the ocean looking for seashells.
"Look Daddy, I found a shell"
Then she opened the rest at dinner that night.
Some of the waiters and waitresses sang Happy Birthday to her that night and gave her a piece of apple pie with a candle in it.
Not everyone gets to celebrate a birthday on a cruise. 
This is our waiter, Arnold, from the Phillipines. He greeted us by name everytime he saw us on the ship.
Every night, when we would get back to our rooms after dinner, there would be towel animals waiting for us. This is Marissa and Meagan on the first night. They named the towel animals every night.
After naming the towel animals every night, making an fuss, and taking pictures, they put them in the closet. On the last night, they brought them all out and had a party with all their animals.
Here is Marissa catching some sun.
