We celebrated E's birthday on November 1 and it was a memorable one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After hanging out at our house for a little bit, we headed to G&G Stewart's house for cake, ice cream and presents. G&G Phair, Uncle Craig and Aunt Molly, Aunt Dani and lots of cousins all came.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He opened presents but wasn't too into it. </div>

After arriving in Medford, we drove home and picked up our little Rev man. He was surprised to see me. Immediately reached out for me and pointed to the car and said "momma's car." </div>

Everytime I said goodbye to him over the next couple of days, he would start crying. I had to tell him the best I could that I was coming back. It was sweet in a way. :)</div>

After enjoying room service breakfast this morning, we headed for our massages. Yes, there's a spa on board. I had an aromatherapy massage by Claudia. I had quite a few knots. We then enjoyed the Persian Garden for some added relaxation. We got cleaned up and took a daily selfie.</div>

Broncar asked for a volunteer to come up on stage - someone who hasn't been drinking. N shot his hand in the air. Broncar asked him how many drinks he'd had - N's answer was 0. Broncar asked N how many fingers he was holding up and obviously N answered correctly and up on stage he went. They're doing a manly booty bump.</div>

After a delightful breakfast and enjoying some hot chocolate, we met up with Dan and Margie in the Oceanview Cafe and hung out with them for 2 hours! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then went to an afternoon show of a magic show - the same guy who did the magic show last night, but it was a whole new show. Wait for it...I got asked to go up on stage! Two other guys and I were asked to assist with a big illusion - I got to inspect a big canvas body bag, lock up a trunk and hold the key and tie 5 knots.. I still have no idea how he did it. Because of my spiky hair, he told me I looked like Kate (from the TLC show with her 8 kids). After the show, people kept asking me how he did the trick and I literally have no clue how. It was impressive and I was standing right next to him. People called me Kate or magic show. It was fun to assist. :) After the show, Nic and Dan played a game of ping pong in the Quasar. </div>

We met up with a couple from Tennessee that we had previously met in Ketchikan: Erin and Gina. We went out to lunch and ate for FREE. :) Some people also associated with Allied paid anonymously for our lunches - we still don't know who. We then took the road below to the cemetery and waterfall. We walked. In the wind and rain.</div>

As I have mentioned before, when you get back on the ship you have to go through "security." Thankfully you don't have to take your shoes off but there is a conveyor belt for your belongings and a metal detector. Because Skagway was soooo rainy, they also had towels for us and a cup of hot chocolate. Such a nice ship.</div>

After the show we headed on up to deck 14 to the Sky Lounge for Live @ Sky. The Sky Lounge sits right at the front of the ship with windows all around. Beautiful lounge. We met up with Dan and Margie and also met Josh and Davlyn - another LDS couple from Rigby, Idaho. There's a small stage for a band and a dance floor. </div>

There was a swing class beforehand, which we dominated. Ok not really, but we did well. :) Two of the main dancers came and taught it. We danced to live music and then the whole cast put on a 30 minute show of singing and dancing. </div>

After the show, we danced the night away. Literally. We stayed there until the band left and continued to stay in the lounge talking with Josh and Davlyn until...3 AM. We were the last people in the Sky Lounge.</div>

The morning of June 16 between 6 AM and 10 AM we sailed the Tracy Arm Fjord.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How it was described was a one-way street. You cruise down it to the glacier and then turn around and come back. Absolutely gorgeous. I could have posted every single picture I took, but I didn't. :) Enjoy!</div>

Do you see that really blue part of the ice? When it recently breaks off and surfaces, it gets that really pretty color of blue from being underneath the water for so long (I think).</div>

Juneau was the only port that we had to take a tender boat in. Juneau can only be reached by plane or boat - no driving. So after casting the anchors, we got on a tender boat (short ride).</div>

It was a beautiful day in Juneau. While there, we learned the 5 kinds of salmon using your hand. Thumb = Chum. Pointer finger = Sockeye (poke you in the eye with your pointer). Middle finger = King Salmon (the biggest finger is the biggest fish). When you flip someone off it's the Salmon Salute. Ring finger = Silver Salmon (you normally wear silver on this finger). Pinkey = Pink Salmon. Who knew? I will now never forget thanks to Juneau.</div>

We enjoyed another yummy dinner at the Grand Epernay. This time we sat at a reserved table with a few other couples and got to meet Kevin. N knows him and he's some uppity-up. Super nice guy and we had a great dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight's show was...BRONCAR LEE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I tell you about him it's going to sound weird, but it was a great show! We laughed and laughed. Broncar Lee is an amazing beat boxer, juggler, entertainer. Look him up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before the show started, we were just chatting and sipping on a beverage. A couple sits down to Nic and they start talking. Randomly she asks Nic if we are Mormon. Is it really that obvious? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight we met Dan and Margie. They have 9 kids and their youngest is 14. It was not the last time we saw them, because we instantly became friends. </div>

Sunday, June 14 we were at sea all day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No worries though because each night they give you a calendar of events that's happening the next day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was never a dull moment on the Solstice - live music, shows, games, eating, shopping, drinking, etc.</div>

Let's get this posting started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are back from our week long cruise to Alaska/B.C. We had so much fun but it's great to be home!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
KIC qualified for this trip through the insurance industry. Lucky us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm breaking this trip up by days because there are so many pictures and stories to share. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It won't bother me if you don't read anything and just look at the pictures, because Alaska is beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our trip started on <b>Thursday, June 12</b>. We (me, N and E) headed over to Medford to do a little shopping and one of my best friends, Chelsea got married. So grateful to be a part of her special day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
N and I said goodbye as my parents whisked Everett away to watch him for a whole week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I may or may not have shed a few tears. We spent the rest of the night at N's parent's house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At 4:30 PM we had a Muster Drill. If there was an accident we had to know where we were supposed to meet on the ship - we met in the Solstice Theater. We set sail at 5 PM.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When registering a few months ago, I was able to put that I didn't eat gluten. Let me tell you, they had yummy GF food on the ship. Everything was clearly labeled and so good! The desserts too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed a yummy dinner at the Grand Epernay (one of many restaurants on the ship) and a beautiful sunset. </div>

Right outside of Crescent City we witnessed a TERRIBLE car accident. We immediately stopped to help. So many police cars, fire trucks, ambulances. We had to give our statements because we were witnesses. After that hiccup were back on the road. We stopped in Medford to say hi to family for a little bit. Made it safely home - such a nice little vaca!</div>

Memorial Day weekend and you know what that means?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We head to Brookings for the Azalea Festival. This year was different because we didn't go camping - we had to leave a couple of days later than we normally do. So instead we stayed in a motel. We missed camping though...Next year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We left on Friday morning. Everett was a champ on our drive there. He ate and ate and ate. Played with toys. Watched a movie. Ate more food. Our only hiccup was Chewy threw up on our drive. Thankfully he wasn't covered in it and was only on his blanket. Quick clean up in Grants Pass and we were on the road.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We then headed to Harris Beach. Everett was so fun to watch playing in the sand. He wasn't such a fan of the cold ocean water on his feet, but then again who is? He LOVED the sand! He got it everywhere and we became one with it. </div>

Now on to Beckett. We had the pleasure of having Beckett over at our house for a few hours on Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so much fun watching these 2 boys play together!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not once did they get in a "fight" over toys. Everett was a little mad at first because he wanted what Beckett had, but that happened ONCE. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They played with Legos for quite some time - laughing hysterically with each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If one started laughing, the other did too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They did so well taking turns playing in the car. If one was in the car, the other was sitting playing with him outside of the car. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It warms the cockles of my heart knowing these boys get to grow up together (no moving away Dani). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We loved having Beckett over - more play dates to come!</div>

This little guy turned 18 months (on May 5).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where has the time gone!? He is so much fun to have around...most of the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's so independent and even more so now. He loves to play by himself and with others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves to share his toys with you - he'll keep one and then give one to you. He'll come and take whatever he gave to you, but he'll always give you the exact same one back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
He knows he's cute so he tries to get away with naughty things by cheesin' it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves any show with singing in it. As soon as he hears a song on the TV, he'll stop dead in his tracks and listen (Frozen is one of his favs). He fits in well with this family. :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Everett loves to play with Chewy, although I think he's a little intimidating to Chewy. haha I will find him laughing hysterically standing next to the dog. I'm sure Chewy was licking his fingers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Everett is quite the chatter box, although I can't understand a lot of what he's saying, but he always has something to say. I'm sure the language will come soon. There are phrases that he says, but he loves to talk (like his mom and dad). We do love having this little guy around and love watching him grow! </div>

We had a lovely Easter dinner at my rents house with missionaries and an old friend of the family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My rents even had an Easter egg hunt for Everett. He had an egg in each hand and he was content. He would not let go of those eggs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today he was playing with his pail. I never did catch what was making him laugh so hard, but he sure was having a great time with it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
He was laughing so hard he would fall backwards. I could have gotten him an empty pail and he would have been content. I'll remember that for next year. ;)</div>

I have been on birth control for 2 months. Yes I am in infertile. My dr put me on it to suppress my ovaries to see if that would help resolve the pain from my right ovary where Earl was a guest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say the birth control is "helping" but the problem is not resolved. </div>

I have been having yearly pap smears for 6 years now - not a long time but I know what to expect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was the first one that has ever hurt. My right side was ticked! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now granted, she was pushing and poking to see if she could feel anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My uterus is angled to the right and tips back. I'm a little off kilter. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She scheduled me for another ultrasound next week. The next step is to have laprascopic surgery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She very well might find scar tissue, a cyst, or endometriosis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No decisions have been made. Have the ultrasound and see what it shows.</div>

I think I have mentioned this before but I am reading the Book of Mormon using a study guide written by a mom for her son.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As embarrassed as I am to say this, but I started reading almost a year ago and am not finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was reading today, a verse stuck out to me of perhaps a reason why. Yes I know there are no excuses as to why I haven't been doing what I should be doing but with that being said...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mosiah 9:3 "And yet, I being over-zealous to inherit the land of our fathers, collected as many as were desirous to go up to possess the land, and started again on our journey into the wilderness to go up to the land; but we were smitten with famine and sore afflictions; for WE WERE SLOW TO REMEMBER THE LORD OUR GOD." (emphasis added)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What am I being over-zealous about that I go in spurts with reading the Book of Mormon?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think there are many of us who get caught up in (good) things (i.e. our callings, day to day activities, our kids, etc) but I think we get so caught up in those (good) things that we are slow to remember our God who has provided us with so many blessings<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We forget to go back the basics: scripture reading, prayer, etc. I know I go back and forth with being so good about reading my scriptures and I love my life when I do, but then I get "too busy" to read this day or the next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It ends here for me. </div>

Our last night we went to Lahaina. Such a neat little town! We had dinner at Fleetwood's. Delish!</div>

Quick Earl Update: I have an ultrasound on January 31 (the day I leave for Hawaii). I meet with my lady doctor the week I get home from Hawaii. So we'll see what Earl has been up to since Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On to the more fun update: Everett!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is such a fun little person. Every day is different because he's always learning new things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Words: whoa, dog, hi, ball, bye bye</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Favorite foods: fruit (any and all of it), sixlets, pancakes, carrots - I'm sure there are more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This little guy is pretty independent - he can entertain himself, but also likes to play with others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves to "share" his toys with Chewy and he loves to give Chewy his rawhides and chew toys.</div>

I don't know what it is, but I love pictures of kids when they are looking down. It's the chubby cheeks! They are kissable cheeks.</div>

His BM and BD (birth mom and birth dad) sent him a fun package for Christmas Included were even gifts for Nic and me (tie for Nic and a beautiful handmade scarf for me). </div>

Our front, main room has these big lovely windows. They give lots of natural light, but it's not so great when you're trying to watch a movie/TV during the day. We bought some great, room darkening curtains. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love them - they give the room such a different look.</div>
