Maui, HI Oct. 2008

Our trip to Maui was amazing! I took tons of pictures and still don't think I took enough. The scenery there was beautiful. We went on a hike up to a 380 foot waterfall. On the way up there we went through Bamboo that was thick and tall. It was awesome. We went parasailing, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, and to a wonderful Luau. I couldn't believe how clear the water was when we went snorkeling. There was so much stuff to see. We went to a snorkeling spot where there were huge turtles all around. On the fishing trip I was sick the whole time. I can officially say that I've been "sea sick" now. But it was pretty exciting when Joby caught a fish. And of course we spent some time on the beach. One of the best times was when me and Heidi laid out on the beach and watched Joby and Kevin trying to surf...lol. We had such a great trip and I'm hoping we'll get to go back again!

Aloha!! We arrived home from a week vacation in Maui, HI!! I have tons a pictures and all the details I will post soon, but I just have to thank a few people first! My sister, Amber. She got reservations at a hotel in Maui (right on the beach) for us and it was beautiful. All we had to do when we got there was check in. It was awesome! She also tended Slade for the whole week while we were gone. He had so much fun that he told her a couple of times he wanted to live in Eagle Mountain with her. She had activities planned for him to do everyday. And since she has three girls she had one day where she had her neighbors little boy come over and play with him. She even emailed me pictures of Slade one day! I really had no worries while I was gone! It was so nice! She tended Braxton on Thursday and Friday because he didn't have school. Friday she took them to Lagoon and Saturday she brought the boys to the airport to see us when we got off the plane! I'm pretty sure I have the best sister in the world!! Thank you so so much Amber!! I love you!

Also I want to thank my mother-in-law for tending Braxton while we were gone. She got him to school in the mornings and made sure he got his homework done. Thanks! Thanks!

And thanks to my mother and Ashley for taking Braxton up to my sister!

And I need to thank my brother-in-law Jeremy for taking us to the airport at five in the morning so we didnt have to leave our car at the airport! Thanks!

We've moved!!

Wow!! It's been a long few weeks and I can see I need to update. We just sold our house and moved. And I must say that I hate moving!! I can't believe how much stuff we have! People keep asking me, why do you build and move so much? Well my husband builds houses and we build and stay in them for about 2 years and then sell and build again. Eventually we will have our last house paid for. After this last move I dont think I want to do it again. We are renting a house in Redmond while we build ours. We have been searching for lots either in Salina or Redmond... did I just say Redmond? Yes, Joby wants to build in Redmond, of course that's where he grew up.. I grew up in Salina so I can't even think of living in Redmond..lol. Actually I think I kind of like Redmond so far. I thought I would be making several trips to Salina and back everyday but it hasn't been too bad.

My baby's back in preschool...

Slade started preschool today. He was so excited to go back. He turns 5 on the eighth of september so he just misses the deadline to go to kindergarten this year. I'm kinda glad he'll get to stay home with me one more year!!
