Raegan loves her bath and it seems like every time she is in the bath Jaxon and Kenna have to come running in to play with her. The kids were so excited to see Raegan since we had been gone for a week they really missed her and I think she missed them as well. This was a happy day for everyone to be together again.
I only have one sister and she probably wishes I had more because when I need help its her that I call and I think sometimes she probably doesn’t answer her phone on her purpose :/ I asked her to watch my kids for a whole week while we went on our cruise and she is only use to one little boy so this was a huge job. She came to my house and stayed there the whole week and watched five children and she was really really done by the time I got home. She was a good babysitter and she took them to the zoo and West Yellowstone and the movie theatre and to dinner and they played games and she even went and picked up their new glasses for me. I left her with a house full of food and treats and money and they had a fun week. I felt really bad leaving my kids it isn't something that I enjoy doing at all and I worry so much about them while I was gone so I was grateful that my sister watched them for me. She said never again will she watch that many children!! I think its easier for me because I have gotten use to five children one at a time and she only has one so she just isn't up for five at once :) My kids love Katie and Rodger and Kolby so they loved having them watch them while I was gone.
I am going to have to do this post in sections since it is so big and I took hundreds of pictures. My brother Jesse is a traveler and he is always planning trips and cruises so he called me up one day and said he was planning a cruise to Alaska and really wanted me to go. My Aunt Mary, Uncle Bill, Uncle Kenneth, and Uncle Merrill are some of my Dad’s siblings and they were all going as well as their spouses, then my parents and my brother and his wife and my cousin Wes were going. I really wanted to go but with Josh just quitting his job at the site and not knowing what construction was going to do and how our finances were going to be I just couldn’t commit right then. I also had a problem and had no one to watch my little ones since my parents were going on the cruise and they are the ones who watch my kids for me when I am gone. The time came to have to say yes or no and Josh said “Let’s go it will be fun” so we booked the trip! It came so fast and I was so nervous but also very excited. My sister watched my kids for me but we had to bring Raegan I just couldn’t leave her home with my sister with so many kids. We were so excited to go on this fun adventure with my family. I am so afraid of airplanes and even more afraid of boats so I had a lot of nerves going crazy. I was so sad to leave my kids home, I have a really hard time leaving them :( We drove to Boise Idaho and spent the night, then flew out of Boise the next morning to Seattle where we boarded the ship. So here is the beginning of our adventure starting with the airports.
