Egg hunting fun

Eggs ala Goldenrod--what a yummy tradition

mini BYU-Hawaii Basketball reunion

It was so fun to get together with some of the old basketball team and their families.

Twelve years and over twenty kids (between us all) later!

Double Digits

Oshyn woke up as a 10 year old today! 

I was lucky enough to snatch him out of school to grab some nachos for lunch.

He wanted to get barreled for his special day.

So of course…he did!

I couldn't have wished for a better son.  Oshyn is such a kind hearted, jovial guy, with a little comedian side.  He is a great big brother, a nice friend, and an extremely hard worker in every facet of his life.  I have loved every year we have had together.  I can't believe he made me a mother a DECADE ago!!  

I wonder what he wished for…

The Riddles in Hawaii!

General Conference to start it out right, then FHE, sunny beach searches/vine swinging, Peacock flats, girl's day SUP boarding, turtle spotting, cheers to yummy drinks, Waimea Rock jumping, twinners, Jackson Riddle Boss BAPTISM day, up to the Heiau for a special Hawaiian name & necklace tradition, and to top it off SPAM Musubi making plus much much more!  We had a blast.  It was so very special to have some one on one time with just our two families.  We love the Riddles!!

From Kiapoko Place to Kiapoko Street

67-323 Kiapoko Place goodies to remember

*Fun and magical welcome to Hawaii house

*Hear the waves and just walk down a path in the backyard to the beach

*See whales and tow in surfers from back lanai

*Go to sleep and see shooting stars from our bed

*Wake up to birds of all kinds chirping loudly away

We are thankful for the time that we had there but are excited for a new adventure and a new home just down the street!

Moving the tramp with just a roll down the road was helpful (& having a strong man in a high vis shirt always helps!)  Looks like the boys are right at home already!

And this guy we found as a little hood ornament
