More Cruise Pictures

These are pictures from the boat's pools and slides. These pictures sure make me want to go again!

Payton by the steps up to one of the hot tubs.

Ky and Wade on a slide.

Wade and Wes sliding!

Wade wasn't technically old enough to slide, but since he is such a good swimmer, they made an exception.

February Cruise Photos

We took a very impromptu cruise at the end of February. So impromptu that we booked on Wednesday and were on the boat on Saturday! The kids were so excited and so were Steve and I. We loved out first cruise and couldn't wait to go on our second. I just didn't believe our 2nd would be less than a year after the first.

We decided to do the same 7 day cruise out of Long Beach because it is so easy for us, no airfare and a 30 minute drive! As we decided to do this so last minute, the choices were really slim. We did find a ship with a room that could hold all 6 of us together, a family suite, and it was really sweet! Much better than our other room with just Steve and I.

The kids loved the kids club, and Steve and I love the relaxing we got to enjoy. Cruises are really an excellent family vacation! Here are some pictures from the cruise.

First our room:

The bathroom

The sitting area.  That couch pulled out into a bed.  The orange curtain pulled accross to the middle of the room and that little black wall had a pull out divider that ran along that track on the ground.  The girls are standing by the wall of windows that took up the length of the room.

The main bed in the room.  The other side of the wall on the side of the bed is the bathroom.  Wade is standing on the tracks for the wall divider.

One morning view on the cruise.

Our flowers in our room welcoming us aboard.

I'm sure Wade took this by the angle!  lol. 

We had a slight delay in our cruise as we had to go back to Ensenada for a medical emergency.  Not for us, but someone on board.  This is looking at Ensenada.

A towel animal.  The kids loved these!

Kylie on the pull out bed.  She shared with Payton.

Another one of the towel animals.

I'll post more photos in another post.

Happy Easter

We hope your day is filled with peace, reflecting, and love. Most of all we hope you life is filled with appreciation for our Savior and all he did for us.

With love,

The Stockards

Happy Valentines Day

from us to you!

We heart attacked my mom and dad on Sunday when they were at church.  The kids were so excited!  They wanted it to be anonymous, but my mom knew right away who had done it, lol.  I told the kids she would be able to guess.
