Jackson Hole

Last weekend we were able to go Jackson Hole with the Gonzalez's and stay in their condo. It was a very relaxing fun weekend. We just hung out, ate, played cards and went for walks. It was nice not to have an agenda and just chill. Luke and Jack had a blast spending a couple of days straight together. First thing in the morning Luke would go searching for Jack and knock on all of the doors. We had a great time, thanks Gonzalez's!












Easter

These are a week late, but better late than never! We had low key, fun Easter. It started off with coloring eggs with Rob, Meggan and Jack. The boys were only interested for about 5 minutes so the adults ended up coloring most of them.



Luke had a great time checking out what the Easter Bunny brought for him. He has been really into Elmo and Ernie lately, so he loved what he found in his basket! He wasn't very interested in finding eggs until he figured out that there was candy in them. Once he figured that out he was all over finding the eggs! We had a great weekend.

Weekend Visitor

This is my brother's dog, Daisy. She stayed with us for the weekend while while my bro and his family went out of town. Luke had a great time with her and constantly asked where Daisy was if he couldn't see her. Daisy is a great dog but I'm still not convinced that we'll ever have a dog!

Fun Start to the Weekend!

We had a great start to this weekend. We got takeout and then went to the park with some friends. We had such a great time. It is so fun to see Luke at the park. He thinks he is so big and is so proud of himself. His new thing is to say "ta da", so he would go down the slide and jump up and say ta da! It is so much fun to watch him grow up.



Christian is so great with Luke and Luke loves to follow him around

Hawaii....Maui to be exact!

Disclaimer: Once again, I use this blog as my journal/scrapbook which means there are A LOT of pictures in this post, read at your own risk of boredom.

We got back last week from 10 days in beautiful Maui. It was an adventure getting there and back but we had great time and have lots of great memories! We flew using buddy passes which proved to be an adventure. Barrett and I had to leave on different days so I traveled with the Traeden's and Gonzalez's. The Gonzalez's got on the flight to Maui, the Traeden's and I didn't so we spent the night in L.A. and a lot of quality time in the L.A. airport. We finally made it to Maui(Barrett got there before I did even though he left a day later, I wasn't bitter at all!).

On to the fun times. We hiked through a cool bamboo forest. It was crazy how dense the bamboo was...it was a very cool experience. There were several beautiful waterfalls along the way which made for some great pictures.








The guys all went deep sea fishing and scored dinner for the evening. They caught a bunch of tuna and despite getting up two in the morning to head out, they had a good time (at least some of them did:))



Dinner at PacifO's. You've got to love the setting.


Waiting for the boat to take up whale watching. We saw so many whales and they came so close to the boat it was amazing!









Fun times snorkeling




I always knew where Misty was :)



The guys spent a lot of time boogie boarding. Waiting to catch some waves!


Barrett catching a wave



We also drove the Road to Hana. Never need to do that again. There were many beautiful vistas along the way but I was thrilled when we finally got back to straight roads.




The cute shirt that we brought back for Luke

Good friends, good food and lots of laughs made for a great time. I missed Luke a whole lot more than I thought I would, but he had a blast with his cousins while we were gone... thanks Belnap's!
