Hawaii 2009

My Grandparents invited us to go to Hawaii with them. Of course we could not turn them down. My cousin just returned from his mission their in August so we all got to go back and live it up with him. It was fun having him as our tour guide and telling us cool stories of his mission. The BSU vs. Hawaii football game was the same time. It all worked out so nicely. We had such a great time hanging out with family. My dear sweet Mother took our kids. Ashley and Todd were with us too so she had 5 kids 6 and under. Thanks Mom we owe you big time.
Taylor lived in Hawaii for a semester while he went to BYU-Hawaii. It was fun having him show us where he lived and the beaches that he like to go to. We found some really good buggie boarding and body surfing beaches. We snorkeled at Hanama Bay on afternoon. Thanks to all for such a great trip. You guys are the best.

Sandy Beach also know as Break Neck Beach. When we got out of the car and the lifeguard saw us with our resort beach towels he came and told us that only experienced swimmers and surfers were allowed in the water. Did we really look that obvious. We found a beach just up the road that was more our skill level.

Beautiful flowers everywhere.

The BSU football game. We killed them!!!!

The Honolulu Stake Tabernacle. This building looked like a combination of a LDS temple and a catholic church. Very interesting. A couple of Honolulu wards attend church here every Sunday. It is in Downtown Honolulu.

Pearl Harbor with Grandma. We had the best weather. We landed in SLC on Friday and it was 38 degrees. Taylor did not take any type of jacket so he looked like this when we got off the plane.

The Polynesian Cultural Center

Sea turtles by our resort!

October Update

For FHE we carved pumpkins. We were looking online for templates and Chloe saw this one so of course we had to do it. She is planning on being Cinderella for Halloween so I will post pictures soon of them together.

Now a little show and tell. This is my beautiful cousin Erica and her charming new husband Nate. Don't worry the baby is mine. Sophie loved Nate. At one time I had to pry her out of his arms. They were married last weekend in Twin Falls. Such a cute couple.

We went boating with some friends in our ward. We had such a great time. This is us trying out the surf board. Also a little side note the date was September 25th. I have never been boating that late in the year without freezing my fannie off.

Summer Update

This summer has been really busy. We started off with a week in Lake Powell followed by a couple of family reunions and camping trips. This picture is of Sophie at the Idaho Stampede rodeo.

Camping at Pine Flats Hot Springs with the Beck's. Sophie with Jared's army hat. Isn't she cute

Taylor's accident

I got the dreaded phone call from my husband calling to ask me to meet him somewhere to take him to the hospital. He finally did it. What I worry about the most when he rides his dirt bike. He wrecked just going out of the parking lot. So the damage is a broken collar bone and a completely bruised hip. This picture is a couple days after the accident. Our camera finally bit the dust so these pictures were taken on his palm (not the best quality).
About a week later. Looks alot better!!!!
