Maui 2013!!!!

We spent the most AMAZING week in Maui celebrating my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary!!!  We stayed in a beautiful condo right on the beach, went zip lining, para-sailing, snorkeling, experienced a luau, saw my mom and dad renew their vows, and enjoyed some beach time!  Such a memorable trip for the 13 of us!

This is a picture from the Luau.  So much fun!!!

I took this picture today in my classroom.  I had taken some of my Maui pictures to share with my class (I'm the first V.IP.!).  I'm teaching 3rd grade this year!

Love this one of Brody!  Woo hoo!

Go Eric!!!

We were so proud of Wyatt.  He's such a brave boy!!!

I love this one of Natalie posing!

Crazy Jerry!

Susie was smiling ear to ear!

Love this one!

Go Nick!

Wee!

Papa even got in on the action!  Yippee!!!

What a fun experience!  I'd highly recommend it!!!

I couldn't believe my eyes...look how pretty this is!!!  We were walking along a path to the beach where we went snorkeling.

Brody's first snorkeling experience (Honolua Bay)!

I couldn't believe how quickly the kids picked up snorkeling!

Snuggles from Grandma are the BEST!

I love this pic of Nat!

Can you tell how much we enjoy each others company?!xo

Fun times playing in front of our condo!

Beautiful waterfall that we hiked to after zip lining (Twin Falls).

The kids loved swimming under the waterfall!

This is the beautiful condo that we stayed at called the Sands of Kahana (6th floor...ocean view)!!  All of us fit into the penthouse perfectly!
 

 The kids built some awesome sand castles!!!

Wy bought this cute bear with his own money.  Awe!  I don't think he's ever going to stop collecting stuffed animals!

The luau was fantastic!  The boys liked the fire dancer the best!

The whole crowd clapped and cheered to congratulate my mom and dad on celebrating their 50th anniversary.  Aren't they cute?

Trophy Time!!!

Both of our boys played on the summer league for basketball this season.  They both loved their coaches and got to make some new friends.  Their new trophies are cool!

Coach Mark bought ice cream cones for the whole team after the last game!  Yum!

Good job Wyatt!

Wyatt loves all of his trophies!  He lines them up and sets them out for display on his dresser.  Cute!

Great season boys!!!

Coach Rey is soooo tall!!!

Great season boys!!!

Coach Rey was an awesome coach!!!

 

Happy 9th B-Day Brody!!!

Today my first born baby boy is 9 years old!!!  I can't believe it!!!  We're so blessed to have such an AMAZING son!  He's had several birthday celebrations:  Castles and Coasters with friends, family party at my mom and dads, and then we celebrated again on his real birthday!

Here he is as happy as can be on his quad (age 1).  :)

Here he is now!  He wanted Papa to make his homemade chicken noodle soup for the family party.  He loved swimming with his cousins too! 

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and homemade choc chip cookie crumbles on top!  Yummy!

Today we went to Jump Street for his real birthday celebration!  Here he is getting ready to ride the bull!  Hold on!

He loved walking up these huge pillars and then swinging down!

Brody & Nolan BFF's!

Connor and silly Wyatt...BFF's!

Mimi brought Brody his favorite curly mac and cheese from CPK for dinner tonight.  She even brought him a brownie for dessert! Happy 9th Birthday Brody!  We love you!!!  xoxo
