Cruisin' and Con'in

Looks like I missed a mid-February update, but I have a decent reason.  Nicky and I took our first cruise ever, and we were busy on a boat in the middle of the ocean (Ok, 4 miles from the shore of Baja California).  We were on the ship for about 4 days, and we ate the whole time - I gained 5 pounds, but I definitely got my money's worth for the drink package.  We saw stand-up comedy, magic shows, and played some (but not a lot) of games.  We also went into Ensenada, Mexico, and drove with a tour bus down to "La Boufadour" or the blowhole.  It was a great time, and next time, we're bringing the kids.

Also, 2/20-2/22 was ChrisCon.  Nicky and the kids went to Meme's house for the weekend and I had friends over for a weekend of gaming, eating, and rousing of rabble.  We had over 12 people show up, and the kids even participated.  It's looking like the beginning of a great annual tradition.  Thank you to Nicky for helping make it possible.

Also, I've been working on losing weight (After the cruise mishap), and I finished the cruise on 2/10 at 220 lbs.  I set my goal to 210 lbs, and as of 2/28 I'm down to 214! Next up, 3/14 - 212 lbs!

See you next time!

I'm not sure playing this game is a good idea...

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks.  We went to the ice rink, and AJ is learning to skate without the assister.  Taylor remembered most of how to skate, and Nicky had to watch from the sidelines

 For Nicky's birthday, we went out to Benihana's for dinner, everyone had a great time!

 Taylor wanted to go to the mall with Ambria, so off we went

 Viola's first birthday party came and went, the kids had a great time

And, every kid learns how to spin a yarn from time to time, but I am a little bit worried because mine seem to enjoy doing it just a little too much!
