Setting Sail...

So the big news is that Brent and I will be taking a cruise in January for our anniversary/birthdays/christmas/valentines's day haha. We found a really good deal on a Carnival cruise leaving from Jacksonville, FL that stops at Key West and the Bahamas, with 2 days at sea. We're very exciting and it gives us something to look forward to during the next 6 months!
Anyway, in other news...I told the family I was babysitting for I was going to be done babysitting for them in 2 weeks because I got another job babysitting for a little 6 month old girl here in Charleston during the day. It works better with my schedule and she lives in Charleston which will be MUCH better for us finacially. I feel bad leaving little Kendall, but Brent and I both agreed this would be a better move.
Here's a couple pictures from our Honeymoon cruise 7 months ago!

Red, White and Blue!

We celebrated the 4th of July up north in McHenry, IL (close to Wisconsin) so we could see my grandma on her birthday (also on the 4th). We all rode up together Friday (Hannah and River came with us). Brent and I camped in our tent while my parents stayed in their camper with Hannah and River. We took my grandma out to dinner Friday night for her birthday then went back to the camp site and let the kids play with sparklers...they loved it!
Saturday, we went to a park with my grandma and had a picnic while the kids played on some awesome equipment. Later than night after roasting hot dogs over the fire, we drove to a nearby town to watch some fireworks (which turned out to be not-so-great).
Sunday, we headed back home with the kids in the van while my dad drove the camper with Max. We had a blast with the kids and I think they really enjoyed camping! After dropped them off at home, Brent and I had to drive back to Charleston. Needless to say, we were pretty worn out Sunday night. We slept and layed around today to recover! Here are some pictures of the fun-filled weekend!
