Today was a pretty big day in the Lemons' household.This little guy started preschool today! He has been talking about going to school for weeks now, so he woke up and immediately wanted to get dressed in his school clothes :))) And Joelle is officially a 2nd Grader. I can't even believe that my baby girl is old enough to be in 2nd ...

Our Last Days!
On Thursday morning we woke up early to go to Slappy Cakes for breakfast. We had gone earlier in the trip, but Joelle insisted we go back! She loves it because you make your own pancakes. We love it because it's entertaining and delicious! After breakfast we headed to the beach before we got dumped on with quite a bit of ...
Maui: Beach Days
On Hope and Wade's last beach day we found the perfect spot. We could plop our chairs in the grass while the kids played in the sand. No sand all over my body=perfection in my eyes! We found our way back to the same beach the next day so that this little guy could play in the sand...While these two went scuba diving!Give the kid a ...
Maui: The Road to Hana
Saturday was the big day... The Road to Hana! Jared and I made this journey a few years ago and I had a lot of car anxiety (for the first time ever). I was NOT looking forward to it this year, but decided that it's just something we had to do over again so that the kids could see all of the different stops. Jared planned for us to ...
Maui Part Two!
If I'm going to be completely honest, my days are getting mixed up here! It's this island living that's turned my brain to mush!!!We drove to Wailuku for some of Julia's famous banana bread. That drive is not for the faint of heart... very curvy and narrow!! BUT... the treats and drinks she has there make it all worth it!I mean, ...
Maui Days 1&2
Well, it has been 9 months since I have posted on our family blog. A lot has changed around here, but instead of going backwards to fill in the gaps I'm just going to start from today and hope I can keep up! Chances are I will fall behind again... life gets busy around here!Our family is on vacation in Maui. It's one of our very ...
Happy Birthday Joelle!
Things have been pretty quiet here on the personal blog. We've had literally zero news to share about our two adoptions. Things just aren't moving at all. BUT, we have so much to celebrate still with Joelle. She is just such a blessing in every way possible. She's kind-hearted, sweet as pie, well-mannered, and truly a ...
Joelle’s Bedroom
When I first posted pictures of Joelle's room in July of 2012, I thought she was coming home just a few months after rushing to put her room together! Little did we know that God had a different plan, and it would be 8 months until little Miss made her debut! Since coming home she has grown up quite a bit and we have moved houses! ...
Life Lately
Well, I am just going to throw this out there... I'm terrible at updating this little blog. Unfortunately, time just gets the best of me and Instagram/Facebook is so much quicker than writing out a blog post. BUT, for the sake of memories, I decided to do a "what's been going on lately" write-up! So, in no particular order, here's ...
Christmas Jammies and a Questionnaire!
New Christmas jammies call for a little photo shoot with my sweet girl. I *may* have gone a little overboard with the Christmas pajamas this year. I can't pass up holiday attire... whether it be for bed or events. It's true... I'm that sucker! You make it, I'll buy it ;) I also sat Joelle down and had her answer ...
