This year was a great fall season. The girls got to go to fall festivals, trick or treAt, have a princess party. They are always up to something fun!

Over Labor day we got together with some of our good friends and rented a beach house. All the kids played so well together, and had such a fun time! We did the beach every day, and yummy take out for dinner each night and games after the kids went to bed. 

Here was the scooter drop off for the beach

San Diego Trip 2016

Our family decided to rent a little condo next to the beach for a quick summer getaway for a few days. It was so fun to spend some time with our sweet girls playing on the beach, finding nemo, looking for sand crabs, building sand castles, playing in the waves, getting ice cream and just enjoying each other and the beach

For one of the days our good friends came up to visit. We did a full day at the beach, went and saw all the sea lions at la jolla, and finished the night off with some BBQ.

We took the girls to see the San Diego Temple for a little outing one night.

Hannah being a serious helper!

The latest happenings

Life seems to be going by way to fast lately, and I can barely keep up with all that is happening. I feel like I just had Madison, and now she is a big pre-school graduate! When I was watching her I coudn't help but feel such a strong love for her, and a sense of pride for who I know this girl can become. Happy graduation Madison!

Hannah has been in the speech program here, and had her last day of school as well. It was a fun filled day of water and snow cones. Here she is with her teacher. 

Madison was part of a t-ball team, and had fun learning the sport this spring

Madison and Hannah also both finished their dance season, and ended it with some good booty shakes (Hannah) and a great performance!

We decided to take the family up to Sedona for a few days, and try it out there. It was a really fun place to take the kids, and the possibilities of things to do were endless. We went hiking, fishing, swimming, and to slide rock this time. 

We had another fun weekend up at the ranch with friends

We had an awesome girls getaway a few months ago in Seattle, and basically ate our way around the city. It was such great trip with great girls. 

Our girls our ready for summer!

Brooke turns one

Our sweet and happy Brooke turned the big 1 last month. If there is one thing I noticed as I went back and looked at pictures is that this girl is always smiling. She has such a sweet and happy disposition, and melts all of our hearts. She is babbling a lot, taking a few steps here and there, loves to play, loves treats, loves her sisters, and gets so happy when you hand her a stuffed animal. 

Hawaii March 2016

Me and Bryan had the wonderful opportunity to go to Hawaii for a little get away with out the kids! We had such a great time exploring the island, not having kids, and just having a chance to be together.

Here we are at the Twin Falls hike while doing the road to Hana

This is the Black Beach sand, which was another stop we took while doing the road to Hana

Another fun little area we found on our way to the Olivine pools

This view was amazing, but the roads were insane. We thought Road to Hana roads were unsafe, until we did this little number. Our hearts were racing!

We did snorkeling, surfing, eating, long walks on the beach each night, exploring, etc... It was just perfect!

Then we got to come back to these cute hula girls, which is just as good!
