Scott and I enjoyed a nice date at the Polynesian Cultural Center where we went to a luau and watched their awesome night show (polynesian dance, song and fire throwing).

We went to an amazing beach known for it's snorkling and rock jumping. We snorkled and saw three squid, a turtle and tons of fish and other creatures. Then we went to jump off the rocks.



This one was SO high. I got to the top and I wasn't so sure about it anymore. Scott fixed that by totally pulling me off with him. I was a little shocked.

Hawaii with Kelly and her Family

We are lucky enough to have not one but two sets of family members living in Hawaii that we get to visit here. Here are some pics of us hanging at the beach with Scott's sister Kelly and her kiddos Ayla, Trayte, and Westyn.

MY BABY IS 1! I can't believe how fast this year has past. Tristan is such a sweet boy! So smiley and happy! Everybody loves him and he's getting better at loving everyone else every day. His favorite person is still Mommy though-which I LOVE!

For his birthday, our family all got together to celebrate here in Hawaii. Thr group included our family as well as Grandma Beckie, Uncle Michael, Aunt Susie, Aunt Kelly and cousins Ayla, Trayte, and Weston. Aunt Kelly brought over a bounce house she had and the kids had a blast playing in there. We had a BBQ and I made a yummy ice cream brownie cake. Tristan got his first taste of cake and boy did he love it. We filled Grandma's house with new toys and had lots of fun together. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRISTAN!

STRONG BABY!



The cake...

YUM!

The MESS!

A bath in the sink afterward...

Playing with the cousins. Tristan and Weston are night and day, tan and white. They both LOVED the new balls Tristan got.

In Hawaii

We've been enjoying the Hawaiian sun. We been loving the ocean by boogy boarding, snorkling, and kayaking. The first couple days we went the tide was high and rough. That didn't stop Connor and Haydn from having a blast though. Then this morning we went so we could hit low tide and I took the kids to a calmer beach. Tristan finally decided he liked the sand and the water and he was having a blast today too. He would crawl right into the waves along the shore (they were so small). He was sooo cute! Here's a couple pictures of our adventures...

My Dad's Family Reunion

After we got to see all my Mom's family we got to go to my Dad's family reunion too. They meet at a camp and we stayed for a few days. We went to a water park and to my great grandma's ranch while we were there too. We stayed through the 4th of July and got to see the fireworks in Pocatello. They boys loved staying up late to see them and Haydn kept saying things like, "That one is HUGE" the whole time. It was so fun to see all my family that I never get to see anymore. It was a great few days.

My Mom's Family Reunions

We've been busy. We started our trip in Utah and got to see my Sister Katie and her family, including her week old baby boy. Then we went to a my Mom's family reunion in Idaho for a few days. We played with some of my aunts and their families afterward and went to Yellowstone one day too. Then we all went back to Katie's house and celebrated her son's birthday. It was a fun reunion with my Mom's side of the family. I was really close with my aunts growing up so it's fun to get to see them and my cousins again as we all get older. It makes me sad to live so far away.
