Hanalei Bay

Grampa and Tutu invited us over to Kauai to see them in Hanalei!  We jumped on a plane (learned and practiced bubble making on the way), rented a mini van and drove to the Hanalei Hale for the weekend!  The quiet house soon became a boy haven & Grampa couldn't stop giggling.  We soaked up the sun, water, and especially Grampa and Tutu time!  Everyone was in heaven.

Homemade Half Pipe

Well, not quite a half pipe, but a nice "sturdy" ramp made by the neighborhood buddies...

They spent hours dropping in on their mini ramp and feeling so accomplished!  Awesome!!

Grandma Orchard Tacos

Keeping traditions alive and hot!

Mueller's do Hawaii

My good friend Michelle (from childhood and roommates from OCC) came to visit Hawaii with her family.  We were so lucky to get a few days to hang with them.  What a treat!  I adore her in every way.  She has been such a strong influence in my life and a wonderful woman to look up to.  We were only missing our other third...Amanda!

It's HERE!

Zach's mission call arrived in the mail on the 5th!  We could hardly believe it (so much that I took a picture of the envelope and sent it to him at work!)  Zach contacted everyone and he planned to open it the next morning on a group Skype call.  He was so ready!

Zach is going to MEXICO!!  Wahoo!  He leaves in January.  Super stoked for him.

Time with the Duncan's

We love it when Grammie and Grandad come up for a visit!  We had fun in the sun doing some paddle boarding, snorkeling, and watching Grandad on his glider ride.  Great times with our family!

The Face Game

Because sometimes Mommies make funny faces too...

Not too happy

Someone is a bit distraught that their brother is off to preschool without him...
we made a pitstop at Haleiwa Elementary with Grammie and found our happy again.  When Kai is without his big bros he'll say to us, "Where are my boys??".  He also calls Cruz "Somebody" not Cruz.  Love that he adores them!
