A little present for myself


I haven't been on a vacation by myself in 7 to 8 years. I started feeling how wonderful it would be just to sneak away. As it turns out (it was a sign) the flights to Hawaii were super cheap. So a few girlfriends and I went for a few days the first part of June. It was a trip of many firsts for me. I went parasailing, and swam in sharks cove, and swam to a waterfall. I also tried octopus at Todai. Barf.... I wouldn't recomend it. It was fun to see my nephew and my brother and his family. It was so great to remember who I am. Sometimes, I think we tend to lose ourselves throughout the days and years. This was great for me as Jodi said "for many reasons". So I will leave it at that...... I am trying this year to not just endure my life but really enjoy it!

Logan Temple Doors

My father in law loves taking pictures of doors. He has taken some amazing pictures. So I noticed I have been looking at doors and really appreciating them lately. I know that sounds odd. On our break we visited the temple and I noticed these beautiful doors. I have been trying to appreciate the little things in life more and take in their beauty.

The Park with an Attitude!







Here are a few pictures of us at the park. We took advantage of the weather a few weeks ago . I didn't even have to pose the girls.... Ava had eveyone looking anywhere but the camera. So cute! So she is the director of this picture. I love these pictures! The girls seemed natural at posing. Camden also seemed to enjoy the camera. He seems to enjoy making faces and getting his picture taken.

Our birthday celebration
















Catching a wave

For Parker and Ella's birthdays this month I talked them into going to the GWL instead of a big friend party. Here's a photo of Taylor, (our cousin)Armondo,(one of Parker's close friend who moved this weekend) Ella and Parker catching a wave.

Our playdate


Sometimes it's a little hard to convince Parker to go and do things with his sister and brother.
Today we had fun riding slides, and playing laser tag. You can see the excitement on Parker's face! Thanks Mom and Dad for going with us.

A Little Touch of Heaven

Today around 12:30 it became suddenly warm! I think the temp. was 53 degrees. The great part is that the sun was shining! The kids and I went to the park and there was noone else there and I was able to lay on a bench in the sun and close my eyes. I was pushing Camden and he keep asking for a "hot dog" and I couldn't figure out what he meant until Ella translated that he wanted an "underdog". Camden cracks me up- he is constantly asking to listen to my "earpod". Get it? I think I might have the sun disorder where you get down due to lack of warmth on your face. I thought of Texas today and considered trading the trees for the sagebrush and sun.

Just a quick note- we switched computers so I have to get the software up for my pictures to be displayed. So hopefully I can post some soon!
