Valentine's Day Fun

I tried taking a few pictures for our Valentine's Day card. It was hard this year . . . my Logan does not want to sit still. These were the best.


Beach Time







Tree Climbing

A beautiful tree that was perfect for climbing that we found in Maui.

Reef Dancer

We were able to go on the Reef Dancer and see the bottom of the ocean. It was fun for the kids.


Avery & Cosette

Beach Day

This was our only warm day at the beach. And I loved every minute of it!


Mitch & Collin built an amazing sand pyramid
Logan loved driving his car on the beach

Waterfall Hike

We found about this wonderful waterfall hike where we could swim with our children. We finally made it to the waterfall and there was too much water and obstacles to get to the bottom of the waterfall. So . . . we enjoyed the waterfall from a distance.





Maui's Volcano

We headed up the volcano on a Sunday afternoon. After a long drive we arrived on top of the volcano. It was a beautiful and cold experience. We didn't expect such a temperature drop. It will be an experience we will never forget. Look at the happy, cold faces:)


Whale Watching

Michael and Avery had an amazing time whale watching. They were able to see many whales.





Maui Wedding

We attended Kyle's wedding in Maui. It was such a beautiful location. Only wished we could have stayed longer. I'm so excited to welcome another sister-in-law into the family.







My Handsome Boy

Isn't he handsome?!

Birthday Tea Party

Avery was invited to a Birthday Tea Party. She was so excited to get dressed up for her "Tea Party". Isn't it so fun to have a girl?!

Preschool Christmas Concert

Avery loves preschool. Avery's class was the angel choir. Avery's class was being seated and then I saw Avery get up and sit with those children who had a part in the Nativity. No one moved her and she was the only Preschooler with that group. I questioned why she moved and she said that she moved because she wanted to be closer to Mary. I love her!



TaVaci Christmas Concert

Avery loves singing. It was her annual TaVaci Christmas Concert. She loved every minute of it and sang a duet with her friend. She couldn't stop smiling after the concert.





Christmas Moments

I know it has been months since Christmas but I wanted to share some cute moments for Christmas. This was our first Christmas by ourselves as a family. We had so much fun. Lots of parties and time to really focus on the true meaning of the holidays. Avery and Logan only asked for one thing from Santa this year - A "Cars" Camera and a "Princess" Camera. I was not going to purchase those items because those were the kind of toys that they would play with for a few minutes and be tossed aside. I tried and tried to convince them to ask for different presents but to no avail they still wanted those cameras. So, I had to brave the mall a few days before Christmas to get the one thing they wanted. Where are the cameras now? Who knows?! But at least Santa came through.






Baby Callay's Blessing

This is my precious niece, Callay. We were able to attend Callay's Baby Blessing. Callay is beautiful and such a perfect baby. We felt so blessed to be with Callay and family.

Picture Perfect Callay

Avery loved being with her cousins. She talks about them almost daily.
And she especially loves her "girl" cousins.
Michelene has such a beautiful home and she was so wonderful to host all of us.
