Girls

This is the conversation I overheard from the girls yesterday!

Ashley: "Hailey will you go throw this away?"

Hailey: "No! Go throw it away yourself!"

Ashley: "Your so mean and you never do anything for me. Don't you remember our lesson today at church about helping people and doing service."

Hailey: "Yeah, but I don't have to do it for you though!"

Ha, kids are so funny, I got a kick out of it!



I love these girls, even though their constant fighting and bickering drives me insane, sometimes little conversations like this just make me laugh! I love how close they are in age and sometimes they are the best of friends! Like at school they try to eat together everyday for lunch and play at lunch recess! Then the second we get home from school they are back to fighting though! I just hope they are close when they are teenagers other wise I am in big trouble!

Grandma Nancy

Last night our good family friend, AKA Grandma Nancy to us, passed away. She was part of our family and we will miss her. She had cancer and has been bed ridden for over a month so we knew it was coming and we are glad she is at peace now. Daniel's mom has been staying with her the last month and a half taking care of her. My kids loved her and always loved her sweet birthday cards and $. Here are a few pics of our cruise she took Daniel's whole family on last year.

She got her hair braided like my girls!

On the beach!

We will meet again...we love you Grandma Nancy!

Hawaii

Any one that is on my facebook has probably seen these already, but I thought I'd still do a post about our trip to Hawaii for memory sake! A few weeks ago we were talking about going on a road trip to Oregon but then we started looking for deals to Hawaii and we decided on the warm vacation instead! We booked it on a Monday night and left our house for the airport by 9 the next morning! I know we are crazy but it is fun to be spontaneous! With owning our own business we have to go places when we can, spur of the moment when it is slow. We went to the island Oahu, and stayed 2 blocks from Waikiki beach. It was a lot of fun and tiring (for me)! The kids were actually really good! It is always a pain following a 1 1/2 year old around but Corbin was pretty good considering. We had the most fun snorkeling, we found a cool place that was perfect for the kids and us to snorkel. Here are some of the highlights of our trip. We took a Catamaran boat ride, we drove mostly around the whole island, we hiked to a waterfall and Daniel and the kids went swimming in the water hole at the bottom of it, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, we went shopping along Waikiki, Daniel got to do a dive and go through a sunken ship and he saw a huge sea turtle, we went to the Temple open house (they just remodeled it and were having the open house and we went through it with all the kids, it was really cool especially for the kids to see), and we went swimming and sat in the hot tub at the hotel almost every night there. My camera stopped working so I didn't take any pictures the last 4 days of the trip, just a few with my phone.

Waikiki Beach

Corbin loving the sand and water!

Boogie boarding and we rented a surf board they had fun on too!

Beautiful water!

Corbin at the fun Snorkeling place we loved. There were deeper parts.


Watching the surfers, this beach had crazy huge waves! It was awesome!
Aaahhh I wish I could be back at that water! The water was so warm and blue!

The weather was so perfect, it even rained a little but wasn't a big deal because it was still warm and we still played at the beach! Someday I would like to go on a relaxing warm vacation with no kids! We just can't leave them yet though, they are too young! Actually I don't know if I can ever leave them for that long! It was a good trip and I wish I could be back in the warm weather, I am not ready for the winter!

Halloween

Since we took a last minute trip to Hawaii, we were gone for Halloween. We didn't do the whole trick-or-treat thing and the girls missed their parties at school. But we did have a fun party the week before that my sister in-laws put on! Here are some pictures of us before that party.
