HAWAII

Brian and I went with our friends The Kofoed's to Hawaii. No kids + 2 days on Oahu + 3 days on Maui + great food= an awesome time had by all.


On the plane to Hawaii, first class pretty much rocked. I can say that because I NEVER fly first class, so it was a real treat.

Fisherman's Hat on Oahu.

BYU- Hawaii Campus.....

Rock jumping at Waimea Bay....so, so, so much fun. This was a great beach. I love the North Shore of Oahu.
Matisomoto's Shaved Ice. Brian fell in love.
Brian's favorite spot on the whole trip was right under those two trees. He sat there and read for hours.


We are looking a little tanner....this is at our hotel in Maui.

Brian kissed a frog and he liked it.....Cody caught this big frog in the pond at our hotel....
Snorkeling trip...pretty much looking hot!
We hiked to this water fall on Maui. Ohh and so random....Travis and LaRee were in Maui the same time we were, so we met up with them for this hike and then dinner that night. Below is LaRee, Sharee and me.

Our hotel in Maui....ohh I will go back one day.

Happy Birthday little man!!

Today is Isaac's first birthday. Today it is rainy and cold, just like it was the day he was born. Strange for a June day.
A few fun facts about Isaac are:
**He is getting more daring when it comes to walking. He will walk around furniture and even walk a couple of steps between things.
**He has been to the peds office 19 times since January. No, this isn't because I am a hypochondriac, it is because he is always sick.
**He loves to push his car/ ball around the house and follow it.
**He loves, loves, loves his sister. If she is upset he will crawl over to check on her. He loves to pull himself up and walk around with her.
**He can wave "bye-bye" but it is backwards and so cute.
**He can say "dad" and occasionally mama.
**He loves to take baths or go for walks. Digging in the dirt and getting dirty is also a favorite pass time.
**He has already had tubes put in his ears and his adenoids out. His tonsils are next, hopefully in about six months.
**He loves anything that opens and shuts....drawers, cell phones, doors...you name it.
**When he smiles he sticks out his bottom teeth.
**He is the fastest crawler I have ever seen, he can take off and be across the room if I turn my heard for a minute.
**His nickname is "Monkey" or "Chunky"

We love Isaac so much, he has been a really fun addition to our little family.

Lovin' the Rain

So, for those of you who live in Utah know that it has been raining a lot here. The other night it was raining and Leila was in her swimming suit from earlier in the day, so she threw on her rain boots and grabbed her umbrella and this is what it looked like all put together....

Happy 80th Puppa

My Grandfather turned 80th Birthday the last weekend in April, so what a better way to celebrate then with a family reunion with everyone.
We went to Park City for the weekend and had a great time.

We did have dinner at our house one night.
Helen, Pupa and Cooper
Isaac was digging Puppa's dessert.
Me, Alina and my dad went on the zip-line at the Olympic Park, it was SO scary and fun!
The bobsled at the Olympic Museum. The kids thought that was cool.

Howdy, cowgirl...
Isaac had a couple of battle wounds on his face after his run in with the driveway.
Isaac wouldn't keep his hat on.

What a slacker...

I just realized that I never posted anything about Easter. I thought that the pictures were pretty cute, so even though it is late.....ENJOY!

Yes, the Easter Bunny did come visit.

I took about 1 million pictures and didn't get one that had both kids looking at the camera, let along smiling.
But, the tie is pretty darn cute.
Once again, a million pictures were taken and this was the best we could get. Everyone looked so cute all dressed up. And yes...the three girlies all look alike.

Best Husband Award

Brian gets the best husband award, at least for this month! :-)

Our anniversary is On Saturday, May 16th. 7 years!!! Anyway, we will be in Atlanta over our anniversary and won't even see each other, as Brian will be in the middle of his "man trip". So, we just talked about going to dinner the weekend after we get back. Well, Brian had something entirely different planned.

On Tuesday night we took the kids up to get frozen yogurt, we we got back Brian asked me to stay in the car, while he took the kids in the house. I asked him to hurry, because I had a presidency meeting to get to.

We he came out we started driving and didn't stop until we reached this place.....


(Castle Creek Inn)

Much to my surprise he had planned a night away, without me even knowing about it!!! He had lined up for his parents to stay with the kids, the room had rose petals everywhere, candles, he even packed my bag!!! We stayed in the same room as we had the night we got married.

I was so surprise and excited. We had a great night and I was very impressed.

As for my presidency meeting you ask????? He had called them to let them know I wouldn't be there. He really thought of everything!

Love you babe!

St. Georgie

Are friends were nice enough to invite us to St. George with them a few weekends ago. Thanks Kevin and Emily!!!

We had a fun time, but had to cut the trip short because Isaac got sick (shocking, I know)!! We normally would have stayed, but he wasn't sleeping well, had a 104 degree fever...so we left a day early.

We went to "Pirate's Pizza" before we left. Leila loved it.

One night we dropped the kiddos off at my mom's in Mesquite and headed to Vegas for some good eats and a little gambling. The picture was in The Belligio gardens, it was amazing. I however, look pretty chunky. I guess it is time to hit the gym again. Can't I just be skinny forever!!!

This is how Leila sleeps in the car, too funny. She covers her head with her blanket so that the sun doesn't get in her eyes.
Leila and Brooklyn
I L-O-V-E this picture, I think they both look so cute.


Once again, I didn't get any pictures of Isaac. I have realized that I don't take too many of him because he rarely feels well and is therefore crabby. However, tubes are around the corner as well as Spring, so I am optimistic that he will be feeling better soon.
