Swimming and a funeral

 Ben's sweet Grandma passed away while we were in Hawaii. So shortly after we got home we went to Idaho for her funeral. We were able to stay in a hotel with a pool and the kids had a great time! It was actually Brendan's first time swimming, and he LOVED it!

Coconuts

 When we were in Hawaii we bought a coconut to open at home. The kids seriously thought it was the neatest thing ever!!!

And this little turd decided that he was going to walk when we were in Hawaii! Apparently, I might have held him a little too much!!!

Waikiki Beach

 Next, we stayed at the Pacific Beach hotel at Waikiki Beach. It was beautiful as well, but much more busy and interesting!

 Another gorgeous sunset!

 The next day Logan rented a surf board and me and Ben got some body boards. It was a lot of fun, but we were sure sore the next day!

 The view from our hotel room

 Our hotel had a neat aquarium in it.

 I just loved these upside down flowers too!

 They had a cool little burger joint right on the beach.

We called for a taxi for the airport and a limo showed up!! It made leaving this wonderful place a little easier.

We had an amazing time, and I can't wait until we are back!!!!

A drive around Oahu

 On Ben's parents last day in Hawaii we drove around the island. It was stunning...I could totally live there! The north shore is just as beautiful and super laid back.

Ah, I already want to go back!!!

Temple and the Polynesian Cultural Center

 The Hawaii temple and it's grounds were absolutely gorgeous!!! 

 I love my boys!

 Those are some handsome men!

 We spend an entire day at the PCC and it was amazing! They do a great job there, it is definitely a must see.

 A yummy pina colada with my honey...and my day is complete!

Hanauma Bay

 I loved this place! When we snorkeled we saw tons of colorful fish and the boys even saw a sea turtle ( I was so jealous)!

 I seriously could have laid here for the rest of my life!

Ko Olani, Hawaii

 We stayed at the Marriott Ko' Olani Resort. It had it's own little beach. I loved it there, it was so peaceful and fun!

 Here is all of us after a snorkel.

 The resort. Isn't it beautiful

 They even had mermaids there.

 On our last night here we ate at the yummy beach side grill.

 The best part of dinner was the music and the most beautiful sunset!

I seriously did NOT want to leave this place. I had the time of my life, the only thing missing were my cute little kids!

Oh, Carter

 Hey there Mister, I think you have something on your face! 

What a goofball! Next time shoot for a little more teeth and a lot less lip!!!

Silverwolf of the Month

 Logan's drafting teacher Mr. Paskett nominated Logan for Silverwolf of the month. Each teacher is allowed to nominate one student per year. So it is a pretty big deal! Me and Chad (Logan's Dad) were able to attend a nice luncheon for the students nominated, after we ate Mr. Paskett stood in front of everyone and gave a speech about why he nominated Logan for the award. He has so many nice things to say...which of course I already knew all of them! It was really special, I am so proud of him. I couldn't ask for a better son.
