Kayla's 15th Birthday and Christmas

 A little late carving pumpkins but we clearly had fun!

Colin and Jordan at deer camp. 

Happy Golden 15th Birthday Kayla!

All the pets :)

Merry Christmas!  Enjoyed a warm snowless walk on Xmas Day.

Took the kids to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Colin played middle school basketball

Other fun pics from the end of the year.  Happy New Year!

Fall 2023

Made it back from New Orleans just in time for Kayla to start high school as a freshman!  Colin started 7th grade the day after.

                                          

Colin joined the running club again and made some great improvements from last year.

Kayla and Ash laying in the sun

Oreo had a predator scare of some kind so kept her inside for a night for some TLC.  She watched football!

Homecoming

Working on art.  There was usually a cat nearby watching.

A couple blurry pics of the kids playing soccer.  It's so hard to get a good one when they're playing!

Western Caribbean Cruise 2023

 And we're off!  We left on Jordan's birthday so decided to decorate his door.

A few scenes from day 1 at sea.  Lots of eating and bingo.

Kayla was invited up to sing at the piano bar!  She sang her favorite song, Yellow by Coldplay.  So proud of her!

Night movie out on deck

Scenes from our family scavenger hunt!

First stop...Jamaica!  We all did a float trip and some shopping.

After Jamaica was the Cayman Islands. We swam with the stingrays here while others did a cave tour.  Colin decided he was going to move here and just swim with stingrays all the time.  Kayla...not a fan of the stingrays.

The next day, we split up and half of us went to Tulum while the other half helped baby sea turtles hatch!

What a great trip with everyone!

Of course ended the trip with dinner at Mr. Brews.
