GOING ON A CRUISE!

Well... we booked ourselves on a cruise with Disney for the family! My mom & dad are going to fly down to Orlando and go with us. Stacey's mom & sister are going as well. I'm trying to twist my brother's arm enough to get him, my sister-in-law, and my niece to go. He's in the process of finishing up his master's degree and has had to use several vacation days towards that already, so I'm not sure if he will have the time to take off. We're praying though! We're all excited and really looking forward to the trip and taking some time off to relax. This will be the first cruise for everyone except me. I went on this same cruise (only 3 days then) back in 2001 to video the school group that went from the church. It was awesome and I expect that it will be even better this time.

I wanna go fast!

Here's a classic. In the famous words of Ricky Bobby... "I wanna go fast!" Aliya's friend is Sophie, Nathan & Sherry McCreary's daughter.

Aliya & Brittan

So here's the two "buddies" hanging out - just like "peas & carrots" these two! For those of you that don't know Brittan, she is Shea & Holly Weeks daughter. She is 3 months older than Aliya and only 2 days younger than Aliya's cousin, Madison.

Looking forward to Spring!

I was looking through some old photos earlier today when I came across this one taken last summer. I know Stacey & Aliya both are looking forward to the warmer weather!
