Happy New Year!

The kids watching the beautiful parade




Max and Crew had to get the Batman Popsicle for a treat.

This was the cutest float. They had bulldogs skateboarding down this ramp.

All the girls and the kids enjoying the parade.



Me and the boys. Wyatt, my Dad, Joe, Rick and Cole were on a bike ride.

Hudson loves Carsyn Rae.

Since we now live in Pasadena we thought we had to experience the Rose Parade. My brother and his family drove down from Sacramento, my sister and her family came up from Irvine and my Mom and dad drove up from Dana Point. They all spent the night on New Years Eve so we made a yummy dinner, played games and drove down Colorado Street to check out all of the people camping out for a front row spot to see the parade. As we were driving down Colorado we heard something hit our car. We were all freaking out at this point...we had NO IDEA people chuck tortillas, marshmallows and whip cream at your car. So we got out of there as fast as we could...and just decided to walk around to check things out. Crew still remembers this night and says this every time we drive close to Colorado St. "Daddy, remember those guys throwing marshmallows at our car? If they do it again you and I will get out and fight them." Crew is hilarious!

An Arizona Christmas

Santa brought Crew an Imaginext Jungle...he was thrilled!

Hudson loved his Santa present too!


Wyatt's mom gets really creative with presents. I thought this was too cute!

Crew was so excited about all of his new toys. He kept saying, "I Love you guys!"

Out of all Hudson's presents, all the balls were his favorite.

Graham and Hudson being silly..

Crew wasn't too thrilled about playing dress up with Bristol.

All the Dannels...

All of the Dannels grandkids...

Best Buds. Weston and Crew.


If you tell Hudson to squint his eyes this is what he does: BEFORE:

AFTER: he is such a goof ball!

Our Cruise

*WARNING!!! Picture overload!*
Day 1 and Day 2-Depart San Pedro, California and At Sea
We got to our ship at about 3 so we were checking everything out and as we were walking down the stairs we ran into our friends Kate and Pehrson. We had no idea they were going to be on our cruise. It was so much fun having them there with us...we might have been a little bored with out them. Thanks guys for making our trip so fun!




Our 1st Formal Dinner Night



Playing around in the casino royale

Kate and I sang some Karaoke to Ace of Base "I saw the sign"
Day 3-Cabo San Lucas, Mexico


We had some local mexicans take us out on their "glass bottom boat" all around Cabo to see the arch, lovers beach, the sea lions, and tons of fish.

The boat dropped us off by lovers beach to snorkel for a couple hours.



We went into town and rented some quads and rode all over the city.
Day 4-Mazatlan, Mexico

Wyatt went Parasailing and took off and landed right on the beach...pretty shady but fun. I was too scared so I decided to get a massage on the beach while he did that.


We rode a taxi all over the city and our driver showed us all the pretty views and the cathedral.




We ate dinner at Chop's, a steakhouse on the boat. The food was amazing!
Day 5-Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

When we first got off the ship we took a taxi to Nuevo Vallarta and went swimming with dolphins.


Wyatt and I riding Nemo and Gandolf. Amazing! Highlight of the trip for sure!

We took a taxi back to PV and went up to El Eden where "The Predator" was filmed.

We went zip-lining on over 12 zip lines.


Day 6 and 7-At Sea


Our crew that sits at our table at Top Hat and Tails for dinner everynight

Wyatt, Pehrson and Ashton sang and danced to N'sync "bye, bye, bye" for the last night of Karaoke. Hilarious!!! Everyone loved them!

One of my favorite pieces of artwork on the ship

Our last formal dinner night

Our Cruise was a blast. It was so nice to finally be on a vacation by ourselves with our out boys. Thanks Lisa and Ty for watching them. We had a fabulous time and will remember the fun we had on this cruise forever. Sorry about all the pics...
