Let me try this again. . ..I will apologize for the random order, but be thankful I am posting.

So, we went fishing for silver salmon at one of our ports of call. Little Chloe caught the largest (and ugliest fish). Our two boats were quite successful (nine total fish) as compared to the other groups that fished that day! We are looking forward to eating salmon for the next year!?!?!?!?

Here is Skipper Ralph holding Chloe's fish.
We jumped to Victoria, BC. . what a beautiful city. Jesse and I hope to return someday!
The kids checking out the view from the limousine sun roof.
Uncle Jeff, Kennedy, Kaden, Chloe and Zachary getting out to see the sights.
Family living on a cruise ship. . .we comfortably fit four in one cabin.
Grannie and Zachary enjoying Hot Chocolate on the cruise ship.
Mr. Dali (our waiter) feeding soup to princess Chloe. . .she was the only one that could not go to the Fun Factory (because she was not three) so she got the royal treatment.
Back to the fishing trip. . .the skipper gave Zachary and Chloe a souvenir. . .hoochies!
Skipper Ralph, Chloe and Mommy reeling in the big one!

Zachary finally thought he would give it a try. . however, we were at the point of reeling in our bait (so he was a bit disappointed when the fish he reeled in were missing their heads--they were our bait!?!?!)
PaPa, Zachary and Chloe dressed to go outside.
The sunrise that Jesse caught!
Our way towards Hubbard Glacier. . we had the best seats (right off our rooms with Hot Chocolate and Coffee Room Service).
Hubbard Glacier--AMAZING!
A chunk of floating ice they brought on board.. .Kennedy, Zachary, Chloe and Kaden posing.

Well, that sums it up for now. Don't expect to hear from us for another 6 months (or maybe the motivation/guilt will continue to motivate me).

Well, I am sure most of our family and friends have given up on our Family Blog. I finally got some motivation (possibly a lot of guilt) and thought I would start with our recent trip to Alaska (starting in Seattle). We were fortunate to see Kirsten and her family while in Washington state before the cruise and had a fun-filled 24-hours!

Chloe, Alex (Kirsten's little boy), Matea (Kirsten's little girl) and Zachary watching the fountain in Seattle.

Zachary, Jesse, Matea, Kirsten, Alex and Chloe (still at the fountain). . actually, I was standing in the fountain to take the shot. . .it was difficult to explain to the kiddos why they can't play in the fountain.

Zachary "driving" in Seattle.

Oops. . we jumped on board pretty quickly (I never claimed to be a good blogger). Here, princess Kennedy was celebrating her Third Birthday on board the Alaskan Cruise!

Tubby Time! Usually one of our fun times at home. . however, tonight Chloe was not enjoing it as much as usual!

"I'm getting colder and colder and colder and colder. . ."
"Where's my Deer Jammies?"
Smiling Clean Kids?!?!?!

Picture time. . Mommy and Chloe attempting a self portrait. . .

and Zaki joining in on the fun!

Zachary taking Chloe's trike for a spin. Watch out because he cruises down the driveway--sometimes making cars a bit nervous. However, he always seems to turn in time to stay on the sidewalk and out of the street?!?!?

Miss Chloe admiring the pansies.

Well, Chloe has officially moved into her "Big Girl Bed". She sleeps so much better in her bed as compared to her crib. However, she looks so tiny in her big bed. I think she may be the size of one of her pillows.

Looks like we woke up a little grumpy!

Who would think that watching a caterpillar could offer hours of entertainment?

Dinner time--Outside! Yummy!

What wonderful weekends we have had lately. . .lots of outside time!

Zachary "climbing sooo high"
Chloe "swingin"


Big boy with his new short haircut!

Teeter Tottering at the Clement house. . .all four and their weights balance nicely.

Chloe hanging on tight. . .
and Zachary not so much!
Zachary and his Holiday pageant!
(actually Zachary and Mommy because he would not stay on stage without me)

Out of sequence blogging. . .more birthday pictures. Chloe loves babies. . especially "two babies". She received one baby from Kennedy for her birthday and loved it!

Mom and Dad gave her "two babies". . .with her stroller! I think Zachary loves pushing the stroller as much as Chloe.
