Carnival Magic Cruise pt 1

We went on our first cruise in Feb!
We flew to Orlando and spent a night there before making our way to the ship!

The boys had snacks and iPads and toys to keep them entertained on the flight.
We checked in our hotel and went straight to Cocoa Beach.

The day of our cruise we had breakfast and the local IHOP. Yummyyyy. And on our walk there, Cocoa beach firemen waved and then stopped to give the kids a gift! How nice!!

That afternoon we headed to the cruise! Check in was soo easy! Everything was smooth and that’s perfect when you are traveling with 2 Little’s.

The first thing we did was check out our room and the ship!
Awesome balcony, super comfy beds, and it was bigger than I expected.

Luggage’s fit easily under the beds too, so that saves a ton of space.

These are pics from our first day exploring the ship. Waving bye to Florida as we departed. There was mini golf and a kids camp too. Although  our kids lasted 20 mins there. It’s Just so much more fun being with mommy and daddy!
The dinners were delish! Mr K was feasting! Umm he was having salmon and lobster and steak dinners. The good news is that even tho you order entress at dinner, you can order as many as you like! So we would sometimes order one of each so we can see what was best! Yummy! The food on Carnival Magic was all around delicious.
Having a balcony was great too. Especially if the kids were napping or we were getting ready, it was nice to have the time on the balcony taking in the ocean breeze. Mr M was always up early so he loved the sunrise while sitting on the balcony.

Head over to my instagram @aka_mama_t for some mommy tips on traveling with kids!
I’ll blog Part 2 of the beautiful ports we stopped at, soon!

My big boys

We just came back from vacation, so I’ll need to do a long post on that! Our first cruise. This post I just wanted to write a little bit on my boys. With Mr K I was blogging every detail and milestone. But with 2 kids and a being a busy mom, I blog less and less. Which means less milestone updates on baby M!

So let’s talk a little bit about baby M
My energetic toddler! What are you up to.

You are 25lbs of cuteness. In size 6 diapers. Currently Potty training.
You are very independent. You know what you want. You ask for it and Will repeat it 1000x till you get it.

You love playing with your brother. He loves to teach you things, and Some not so good things so he can get a good laugh at you. This week big bro taught you to say “I hate school, it sucks” ha! That was on repeat all morning.

You love to scooter around the house. You loved swimming around on vacation, you practiced and practiced and by the end of the vacation you were jumping in the water and floating around without our help! (Floating on of course)

You currently love apples and raspberries.
Your favorite cartoon is paw patrol. And you love to dance to the video Animal dance moves I think it’s called that haha.

You are soooo affectionate. You are my cuddle bug! You give the best kisses!
You talk in full sentences and love to sing songs. It’s the cutest when you have s dong stuck in your head and we can hear you humming it. You are so aware of things and try to understand everything. You can retell a story with words and actions and it’s the cutest!
I often forget you are just 2!
You are silly and love to laugh. Lots of vacay pics of you below my baby boy!

You were so well behaved on our trip. The traveling, the eating at restaurants, the plane ride. You are such a big boy!


More blog posts to come about our first cruise and Mr K’s first wiggly tooth ha!

Snow dayz

Whoa! It’s like non-stop snowing here! 

It’s beautiful but we are getting totally getting tired of it!

This weekend we had little K’s karate belt grad. He is loving karate class. We were so impressed watching him show off his moves on Saturday. 

We celebrated over brunch!

Then we went to get haircuts! The boys needed it! 

Valentine’s Day is coming up! We will be making cupcakes and writing out our VdAy cards, although I was hesitant at first. Do grade ones still do that!? Or do they do that every year. Meh no clue. 

What have we been up to!? 

Oh just a little restaurant hopping. 

Little K loves chicken wings! Who knew! Hahaha finally a restaurant he enjoyed that wasn’t sushi! 

Little K is also enjoying his swimming lessons. Baby M loves to watch.

I’ve been following the 21 day fix. Although during the week it goes well but weekends go out the window. 

Because we love going out for breakfast for one, and our weekends are usually out and about we end up at a restaurant. 

The pic above we went to get some donuts and sang happy birthday to my dad in heaven. ❤️

We had the family over for Super Bowl. I made a yummy menu and we watched the game and the kids had a blast playing together. 

How cute are they. 

I hope they have a close relationship as I do with my cousins. We still try to meet up once in a while to catch up over breakfast of course! Ha! I do love breakfast food. Sigh. 

Tomorrow we are back on track with the 21 day fix!!! 

Time to blog

Yikes! I’m not the greatest at blogging anymore. I want to be. But at night when the kids are in bed and the million chores are done, I’m mentally exhausted! So I haven’t blogged about anything else since the holidays ha! 

Let me think hmm. Baby M has the cutest conversations with everyone. He’s a little man and I love him ohhh so much! Mr K is becoming a big boy and I look at him and think how is he 6! And those long legs of his haha it’s been hard finding him pants that fit his long slender bod. The boys are attached to eachother and it’s the sweetest thing. All the teachers know them  at school and love watching them run to eachother when they see eachother at recess. Totally heart melting, so I’m told. The melt my heart daily! 

They love to dance and I posted some videos on our YouTube channel. I don’t know how they find these videos haha but they copy the dance and they are adorable. If only I knew how to link it in my blog. I’m so rusty!

Baby M loves to tell you what music he likes or doesn’t like. So when we are in the car he will let us know as soon as every song begins. Ha! “I like dat song” “noooo I dun like dis song” his voice is just the cutest.One of his fav songs is imagine dragons, thunder. Mr K still likes daft punk and will play the album on our phones. 

Oh and baby M is Mr sporty. Loves soccer and basketball. 

Mr K is getting more familiar with the computer and enjoys playing games on it. On the iPhone he gets a kick out of asking Siri questions and the other day I let him text dad! Ha! 

January started off great. We have all been hitting our goals and following our new routines. We have a good schedule going on. With 2 kids and 2 working parents it’s been hard to get in the grove. But we finally have. Mr K has his extra curriculars Saturday mornings only. We keep our week free to stay sane, although piano lessons are during the week but it’s in Home so it works out great. 

His teacher has only good things to say about his progress and even that out of all the students he has the began the same time, Mr K grasps the concept and learns so quickly. So proud of this little man. It’s not easy for a 6 year old to sit still most days haha so when he completes each lesson we have a reward system and he gets a sticker. Once the sheet is filled up, he gets to pick a toy or game that he wants. Right now it’s anything Minecraft LEGO. 

Umm can you believe that January is over next week! Seriously tho. The days fly! Sometimes I need to remind us to slow it down! I’m so glad it’s the weekend. Soo looking forward to a relaxing weekend! 

Have a great one friends! 

Psst mama got new glasses ha!
