Hawaii Trip Part 1

MAUI
Here is a little glimpse of the Maui portion of our trip...

Chilling at the CondoWe dragged these four rug rats everywhere

Always time for a story

Sunrise on the Haleakala It was COLD!

I posted this one for Uncle Matt (He says it's a classic!)

Happy even though we woke them up EARLY

It's a long ways to the ocean!

Blow Hole Camille LOVED climbing down to the blowhole!

Road to HanaQuite the drive!

One of many waterfalls

Mil excited to out of the car after puking on herself (Hence the reason she has no pants on.)

Black Sand beach

Seven PoolsBrad getting ready to jump

I enjoyed the waterfall

Snorkeling

Iao ValleyLahaina Town Second biggest banyan tree in the world (It took up a whole city block!)

Aquarium Millie's version of snorkeling

Camille loves her new slippers (a.k.a. flip flops)

One of the many cool/scary roads we drove

Pounders

I was excited to show Ron and Donna body boarding at the beach Pounders. The name didn't disappoint.

Lots more Hawaii pictures to come...

BRING IT ON!

We can't wait to go play with our little beach babies!

Abs and Say here we come!

Furgality at it's finest!

This weekend was a success. We took a list of stuff to find and got almost everything we were looking for. However, we didn't do as well with the list for our friends as we had hoped (Sorry Harkers!)

By popular request here is a peak at our awesome finds this weekend:

Always a lot of golf balls to be had --plus a security box.

Camille got 2 new chairs :)

Yeah for being able to take walks by myself again

Camille's new bed so she can share a room with Natalie

Brad's Bike which he'll need because....

YEAH a bike trailer finally!! (Only been wanting one for 2 years!)

And a new baby bumbo

These were Camille's purchases - Mega Bloks farm set and the Tinker Bell sleeping bag

Plus a HEAP of clothes for the girls and a bunch of free stuff for me. (Sweaters, coat, SHOES...)

The best part of the weekend was hanging out with this bunch:

And letting the babies "hang out"

Natalie in the swing, Haiden closest to her (in pink) then Riley(in white), and Payson (in red). (Yes and Camille supervising all of them)

Whatever you want to call them

Garage sales, Yard sales, Car boot sales. It doesn't matter I LOVE them. Today we're heading up to the annual Liberty Lake Garage sale weekend. I've been excited since April! To get geared up Brad and I have hit a few of the local sales. Here are some of our great finds so far:

Brad was super excited about these. Said the kids will love'em and Camille does. (Is he ever wrong?)

I don't even know what to say about this one:
I'm glad the family will be able to see if Ryan's fiancee likes the garage sales. If not, he may have to reconsider. :)

Pedialyte

When you have these:

Sometimes you need this:

(Luckily we've never had to use it...YET.)

Homemade Pedialyte - My sister in law gave me this recipe:

4 c water

½ t baking soda

½ t salt

3 T sugar

½ packet unsweetened Kool-aid

Hello Summer!

Summer is here. It's finally warm. School is out. Picnics are happening.

So, Camille and I busted out the polish and our sandals. We're ready to party!

Worth the money

We bought a year pass to Tautphaus Park Zoo. I decided it's well worth the money. We've already been 4 times this season. My Dad even came with us once. (First time in roughly 40 years. I'm not exaggerating.) Plus with our pass we can get into other zoos free i.e. the Honolulu Zoo. (Yes, we'll will be using that one!)

Valerie gave Camille a quiz to see how these trips to the zoo have been affecting her.

Breakfast the BK way

We're not talking Burger King. Brad and Karen have combined their powers and perfected breakfast at their house.

All I have to say is yum!

Blessing Day

We blessed Natalie today during church. When we blessed Camille we just did a private family blessing on a Saturday night so this was a fun experience for me. She looked SO cute in the beautiful dress my mama made her! Since it was such a nice day we had a great picnic type lunch with everyone at Brad's parents.

Here are a million pictures!

This one just makes me go "ahhh"

My Grandma Hart use to say that if a baby sleep with their hands up that they were healthy and happy.

I really love this dress!

For some reason it was really hard to get a good family picture. Not the photographer's fault more the subjects!

One proud Mama

Happy to be with Grandma and Grandpa W

Looks like she's trying to act like a little bunny or something
