Our Escape to Idaho

I'm alive!! It's been an exhausting two months but we are finally in Hawaii and completely moved in. Yea!! Knowing we are going to be here for three years is so amazing. After the crazy year we've had, I'm not sure how much more I could of taken.

Before I get into all the excitement of Hawaii, I wanted to post some pictures of when we were in Idaho this summer. It was a much needed escape from reality. We did a little bit of everything; boating, bowling, fishing, camping, a play, a concert and so much more. It was a blast.

Going Private

After a few too many strange comments I've decided to make my blog private. If you want to keep following our crazy lives send me your email so I can invite you. So all you quiet blog stalkers, and I know there are a few of you, send me your email and I'll add you. :)

I should of known better then to ask for a picture in between rides at Busch Gardens the other day.

She Thinks She's Pretty Funny

I've been trying to figure out something with my camera and needed a willing subject to take a few shots of, so I obviously chose Lydia. :) Well she wasn't feeling all that cooperative today and when I asked her to calm down this is what I got.

But then I got this. Isn't she cute. :)

I got them some new bedding that I love. They weren't too sure about it but I didn't give them a choice this time around. I spent about 3+ hrs in their room getting ready for the packers and getting rid of all their winter clothes. It always feels so good to spring clean. I'm a little worried that my children will become hoarders after how much I've donated in the past year. I think they're sick of giving their stuff away.

Maryland & Washington DC

Addi's ER Trip

Addison was having a blast playing in the closet at the hotel in Maryland. Some how though she cut her foot open and it had to be stitched up. She was such a trooper about it. She cried for a second when it first happened but that was it (not even when they were cleaning/stitching it up). I think I would of been more upset then she was.

No Motivation

I have no motivation to post any pictures, and I have a lot of them from my trip to MN and John's visit this weekend. We bought the girls their very first cameras and they're really excited about them. I love that they are catching the the photography fever AND that I have something that I can threaten them with if they're being really naughty. I know, I'm a terrible mother. I got a few shots of them snapping away that I'll post soon. Until then here's one of my boys.

We are busy having fun in Minnesota but I thought I would post a picture since I haven't blogged in a while.

Seriously, don't you just want to eat him up?!
