Happy Easter!
















It was so much fun to have my mom here for Easter this year! Issac and I flew home from Hawaii through the night on Friday, and arrived at home at 10:30 Sat. morning after not getting much sleep as you can imagine. We had already planned to have our family Easter party with my brother and his family that afternoon. Luckily I was thinking and pretty much had everything done before I left (230 plastic eggs filled with candy, eggs bought and ready to be boiled and decorated, party bags filled, and the ham ready to cook)





We were really tired, but I was so glad that we did it. It has become a tradition since we moved here and I love it! It also was the first time that I was able to see my new niece, Mauriana. Such a cutie!





We hunted eggs, decorated eggs, ate tons of yummy food and just sat and visited. It was really nice. Then of course the kids got their baskets Sunday morning before we headed off to church. It was a really nice Easter, just missed the nap (hard to do when we have church at 1:00). :)

ALOHA !!!!!






















So my amazing husband was a top salesman during the 4th quarter last year and earned the company trip to Kauai, Hawaii. We were so excited to get out of the snow and get away together for a few days. My wonderful mom agreed to come out and stay with the kids so that we could go. Hopefully it didn't hurt too much! :)


We had a great time despite only getting one day of sunshine. It was cloudy and windy and on the cooler side! Totally worth the trip though. It was nice to just be alone and spend some time one on one. We can't wait to go back though, and hope that we can even take the kids with us sometime!

One of our favorite things that we did was a Zip Line Adventure. We got to do 9 different zip lines and go over a suspension bridge. It was so much fun! We also really enjoyed the Luau. Unfortuantly the water was so rough that the beaches kept getting closed so we didn't get to try our hand at surfing or even snorkeling on this trip. I gesss we'll just have to go back and try it another time!
