Hawaii Day 1

Landed in Honolulu and got our rental car (thanks former Hertz employee Megan + Lane's a gold member becuase of work travel). Got upgraded to this:

Can't complain about all the driving we did. Not when your drive looks like this:

Checked into our hotel. Got upgraded to a better view. Thanks Hilton Honors.

Sat on the beach, watched the sunset.

Had dinner on the beach at Duke's. Fresh Island Poke & Kalua Pork Sandwich Mmmmm.

Figured we better quit while we were ahead, or before all our good luck ran out :)

Aloha!

Wednesday: hitting the slopes Thursday: hitting the beach!

Working on our Hawaii blog post!

Then I'll work my way back, all the way to Thanksgiving :) I'll get caught up... promise!

Thanksgiving 2011

For those of you who doubted I would ever add some pictures to our blog, here you go!  Most of our free time has been spent working on our basement (& not the blog) and it's SOOO close to being done now.  Pictures of our completed basement to follow!

Thanksgiving was hosted at our house!

 We also followed tradtional and walked around and saw all the fun downtown Christmas lights in SLC.

I fully intend on updating the blog with all the fun adventures of the holidays. But for now, these are the cute people that I have been spending all my time with ...

Gunnison's 1st Birthday

This sweet little boy has been in our lives for a whole year now, and to celebrate we threw him a little Cowboy Party! "Howdy Partner"

Danelle might have liked it even more though.
He LOVED the cake. He didn't hold back at all.

So much, that he went for it face first :)






Danelle our Cowgirl:

This is as far as he got with his cake.
(do you like my cute drink dispenser in the background) ;)

I wasn't expecting him to be interested in his presents, but boy was I wrong.

Like most siblings, Danelle was kind enough to help.

Do you think he had fun?

Here's the link to his "Happy Birthday" song:

Halloween

Can you guess who this 3 year old mermaid is?Presenting our Mermaid and Giraffe:
My wonderful Aunt Ginny came to play with us on Halloween and was kind enough to pass out candy so we could all go trick or treating.

She was so sweet saying thank you and "happy halloween" to everyone she saw on the street.

This was the point when she was done.And done she was.

Thanksgiving Point

Thanksgiving Point has fun actitvites all year round and during the fall they do "Cornbelly's". We went with the Waite's and had a blast! Tractor RidesGames- Spider Web

Danelle's favorite: Princess Land with lots of princess activities
