One at a time.....

I will attempt to update but judging by the last time I blogged this could take awhile.

First up...HAWAII. We only took approximately 900 pictures. To save time and expedite the update process, I will just post them to a web album(not all 900) so you can take a peak at the fun time we had. (I narrowed it down to 253 pictures, some of ours, some of the ones Grandma and Grandpa took. You may start to feel like you're looking at them twice. Enjoy!

Hawaii, here we come!!!

We are so excited and we feel so lucky that we get the chance to take another family vacation to Hawaii. This year will be a little different and a little longer. We are leaving Friday the 12th of June and will be staying 1 week on the island of Kauai. John's parents will join us there which will be lots of fun. The next week we will meet up with my family on Maui where we will stay for another week. The boys are very excited. Just imagine, beautiful ocean and beach, super fun 3 acre pool with a special play area for toddlers that features a pirate ship and cute dolphins they can climb around on. . . oh yeah I forgot to mention. . . . .











While mommy (that's me) was at her Emergency Nurse Pediatric Certification course, little Drew was innocently. . .



When along came 85 pound big brother to do a slider roo (it's a word). This was on Grandmas ground level tramp so he came running from the other side of the grass building momentum with each stride. Needless to say, little Drew got bounced a little too high and Grandma knew right away something wasn't right. Please note, it IS a rule that when baby is on the tramp, no one else is unless they are just sitting.

Hawaii will still be fun, just not quite what I had imagined. Drew got a waterproof cast which I think sounds cooler than it really is. You still have to worry about letting it dry out completely, here in La Verkin that wouldn't be a problem. The air is a bit more moist in Hawaii.

Lucky for us, Drew is a good sport as you can see by his cute pictures, Kole feels awful and I really don't think it will happen again. Wish us luck!!!

What the boys love.....

This is what the boys love to spend most of their time doing. They remind me every year that they would really like a pool in the ground that is bigger. Sorry boys , not until I get my dream house.

Kole and Trey are in the High School Production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." They are part of the childrens choir. This has been a very big deal especially for Trey. If you are familiar with his personality you know that he is extremely shy. I have been holding my breath at each performance waiting for a major show stopping meltdown. We are down to the last day and it hasn't happened yet. This is a good thing. I think part of this success has come from Kole being such a great big brother and making sure Trey is by his side the whole show, and the other part is due to the fact that the lights make it hard to see how many people are watching. I wish he had a little bit of a clue that there is an audience since it may have prevented one night where he had at least a 3 minute long nose picking session on stage. It was a moment where it was all I could do to sit in my seat and watch. Luckily for him he never has had the thought to eat his boogs. Oh well. Life goes on.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

One thing the boys LOVE to do it go on hikes. This is Kole hiking Angels Landing in Zion for his 3rd time, and Trey on his 2nd time around. This is the last hike they went on with Grandpa Earl and Grandma Sherri before they left on their mission last year. What a memory. We love and miss them so much!!! Enjoy the pictures.
