Hawaii: Sand, Sun, & Other Fun

It rained majority of the time we were in Hawaii this time but we still managed to catch a few rays and have a lot of fun. We spent a lot of our time in Honolulu this trip because of the rain. It was fun to explore the city a little more. We went the the Honolulu festival, had snow cones, visited the Dole plantation again, lounged on the beach, and hung out with Scott, Ashley, and Matt, and my cousin Maggie. Big thanks to Scott and Ash for letting us crash with them. We had so much fun!! 

Hawaii: PCC

This trip we decided to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was our first time and besides the rain it was pretty great.  We had a luau and then went to the night show called HA: Breath of Life. It was cool to learn more about the Polynesian culture. I was sad we didn't get to tour the different villages but there is always next time. 

Hawaii: Boy's Trip

The elite crew took another trip, this time to Hawaii.

Tyler loved it & had so much fun laying on the beach and hiking with the guys.

Tyler said the hike was pretty hard, but I'd say those views from the top are worth it!

Sunshine & Softball

Jen had a softball tournament in St. George so the whole gang [minus Carly & Clark] took a trip down to show their support. Everyone loved soaking up the sun at the games and by the pool. 

Saturday night we had a BBQ at my parents house. It was so fun to have both of our families together again. The last time that happened was at our wedding. Everyone enjoyed catching up, eating, and hanging by the fire pit. 

i'm back.

so, i disappeared for a while. oops.
a lot has been happening lately, so bare with me as i attempt to get caught up.
since this acts as our family scrapbook/journal, i am determined to document what life has been like the last few months. so, prepare yourselves for an overload of events that took place, in some cases, months ago.
