Look who came for a visit

These two completely baked cuties stopped over for a week of fun in the sun on the Big Island. Lizzie Sclofman( the blonde) was one of my darling young women from when we lived in AZ. Hard to believe she is almost 22 now. But anywho, she and Alecia were having a "fun semester" at BYUH and they came and explored the Island. They snorkeled, zip lined, hiked the volcano, went to Hapuna and just cruised the Island. I believe they had a fantastic time. WE loved having them and look forward to seeing Lizzie when we get to Phoenix in June.
( Can you say......SUNBLOCK!!!! LOL)

Easter in Maui

Easter took on a whole new meaning for us this year. We did not do an egg hunt, or have a fancy meal, instead we went to Maui for Tevita's baptism. What an amazing experience to see his transformation over the last few months while working with Oke on Maui. Tevita's testimony is probably one of the strongest I have ever heard from a freshly baptized person. In this post is his cousin from Utah, the two sister missionaries, and his wife Kim who flew in form CA. It was an amazing day and I am so glad we were there to take part in it.

NO WATER

Lila, when she was smaller, absolutely hated the sand on her feet! If we put her down she would not move and she would cry for someone to pick her up. NOW she hates going in the water and only wants to play in the sand. Geesh....what's up with this kid!! It must be a GIRL thing. LOL
(That's her hiding under the towel so we don't take her in the water!)

Eduardo

The Kids found a baby Jackson Chameleon and wanted to keep it but we were afraid the bigger jacksons would eat it so we set it free. It was so cute and the kids loved the name they chose. Hopefully Eduardo is enjoying the acre of trees and plants outside.

US

When I look at this picture many things come to mind:
1. I am going gray!!!!! LOl
2. Two people who love and respect each other deeply.
3. Parents of the most amazing children.
4. One hot Poly boy!!!
5. Our future looks bright.
6. Finally a date with my hubby.
7. That was some good grub at Macaroni Grill.

Making cookies

A good day at the Farm

David went over to his cousins house for a sleep over. When I went to pick him up, he had two full bags of baby tomato's. He was soo proud and excited for us to pop them into our mouths for a taste.

Hapuna

Another fun outing to Hapuna Beach. Blake Tanner and David all went in the water to boogie board and snorkel while little miss Lila would have nothing to do with the water. Instead she stayed busy in the sand building castles, eating shave ice, and eating our recession picnic. (Everything packed from home so we don't stop and waste money at the beach shop or gas station.)

Painting Lizards

David and Lila went with me to the store and decided that they needed a project to do. They found a Lizard set to paint and were excited to get on it the minute we got home.If I had known that all it took was some paint and some plastic lizard molds to keep them happy and quiet for over an hour, I would have bought the 4 other sets they had!!!

Michelle moved away

Michelle moved to Utah three months ago and I really miss her!!! Talk about two people who are so identical............ so the same .......soo crazy and fun!!!! This was our last photo together before she left .Of course we were having the best time! I miss you girl!!!!

Blog Fizzle

I just haven't had it in me to Blog lately. I am fizzled out. It looks like I am not the only one out there taking a break. Maybe it's because I am readjusting to the awful economy, or maybe the Obamanation that took over last month. I can't shake it, BUT I will promise to be back up and running by March 1st. Hang in there!
