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 ...
Hawaii
The End.
Well, folks... our little family is home now. We've traveled to Honduras, Utah, Colorado, and Hawaii this summer. As we sit on top of about 5 loads of laundry, luggage to put away, and a neglected house we can now finally reflect on what it was like to be gone over a month (total) this summer! I can't say that it was always easy, ...
Sunsets, Turtles, Villages, and more!
I'm a little behind, so I'm going to squeeze the past couple of days into this post! This is why I blog while on vacation because I have a fear of getting too far behind and not being able to catch-up!

After about an hour of driving up the mountain, it started to rain and there were tons of cars driving DOWN the mountain, which never happens unless the visibility is ...

When we first came 2 years ago, Jared and I paid to go on a snorkeling trip where we saw ZERO turtles. It wasn't until Jared started exploring and asking that we actually found turtles right off of the local beaches that you ...
The Luau!
We took our little booty-shaker to a Luau because, let's face it... Joelle LOVES music and dancing of any kind. Plus, she loves to eat, so a buffet makes sense :) We had lots of fun, and I think Joelle learned some new moves, so I call that a success!!! Here's some pictures from the Luau! ...
Joelle’s First Ocean Experience
Good morning, friends! I don't know if I'll be able to document our every day in Hawaii like this, but the other 2 people in my family are being quite the sleepyheads right now. I mean, it's 6:45 am here... time to wake up, people ;)! So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to walk you through Joelle's first day in the ocean ...
