**Hawaii**

We had such a great trip. I think family trip is the best way to describe it though. Vacation might sound a bit to relaxing. There was no alone time, the kids were a bit tough. They never really got used to the time change so they were awake all night, well mainly Kade. I don't know why I think that it was any different because the kid is 6 months and he is still waking up four or five times a night even when we aren't in Hawaii. So the second day we were there Eislee came down with a fever of 103.3. Yes that is just my luck, so I was at the doctor for five hours with her. And the instacare was disgusting, the doctor was a lady and she had tatoos all over and her boobs were hanging out like you wouldn't believe. Anyways, Eis was feeling better about two days later. The kids loved the sand. Eis played with her sand toys for hours. Kade just sat there and smiled. He is the best kid when it isn't night time. Here are some pics of the trip, hope ya enjoy. If you want to read more about the trip blog over to Kelly's blog or Suzy's. I am not the best story teller.


This is definatly my favorite picture of the trip. I can't believe this pose. She was having the time of her life at the beach and I caught this when I told her to smile for me.





Randi is so cute, her and Jackson were our roomates on the trip. I have to crack up because Jackson had his bed made and shoes in order every morning at sunrise. He is more of a neat freak than me.

Kade, I can't stand it, he is so stinking adorable. He loved going into the hot tub and floating on his tube, while Eis and I pushed him back and forth. This time he fell asleep in all the fun.

Superman to the rescue!!! Check out those biceps.

Ali and Ellie never shut up. They are the most chitter chattering little squirts I know. They finally taped there mouths shut on the last day at the PCC.

Tough Guys!

This explains the entire trip. I had my camera out taking millions of pics, okay only 300, and my husband was mad at me everytime I whipped it out.

Jerry and Patty swinging in New Zealand. What great in-laws, they really took care of us this trip. Thanks you guys for such an awesome time.


Can he get any cuter?

We went to a surfing competition at Sunset Beach. It was fun to see. The waves were huge and Eis got sucked up by one and was wet the whole time and not to happy about it. All that sand sticking to her without her suit on made her really mad.

The famous Matzumotto's. Yummy!


Clair is such a happy babe.

Suzy and Max enjoying the sun.



The cousins and their dresses... It seems like these four never took these dresses off. Patty bought them at the swap meet the first day, I shouldn't have packed clothes for Eis, she wore this dress everyday at one time or another. Luckily we had a washer and dryer. Sh call it her Strawberry Shortcake Pink Dress.



Dion, I don't know how you do it, I really do look up to you. Five kids and such a trooper. She woke up everyday and worked out at the gym, jease you'd think she got enough of a workout chasing the kids around all day.


Gwenny. Eislee just loves Gwen and wants to know where she is constantly. It is great to have cousins close to the same age. Thanks to Gwen, Eis is potty trained. About a month ago she saw Gwen go potty on the big girl potty and now she is trained. Hurray!

The three amigos!

Hawaii did it, Kelly in a swimsuit finally. Kel don't kill me for posting but it is great, I know you made Ali proud.

Everytime we went to the beach Jerry was covered in the sand. He is such a good sport.

This is another version of the upper pic, I just get a kick out of it.

Thanks Kelly for catching this shot of almost everyone. This was the only group pic we got, how sad I know.
