Hawaii

Our vacation was AMAZING! It was hard to come home. The kids both wanted to stay at our "Hawaii house". I really can't blame them. We went for Sanchai & Natalie's wedding, which was beautiful! We spent the first week in a house in Kihei with Sanchai, Lance, Linda, Ryan, Nat and Sammy, Toby and Lydia. The second week we stayed at WorldMark, also in Kihei, thanks to my mom and Terry who generously offered their timeshare to us.
We spent the majority of our time either at the beach or at the pool. We went snorkeling at Molokini and enjoyed checking out all the fish as well as various other sea creatures. I nearly bumped into a turtle...so awesome! We saw some dolphins and a few other turtles! It was a great trip. We highly recommend the Pacific Whale Foundation for any of their trips. They were great!
We celebrated Father's day and Kylee's birthday while we were there. We also celebrated a change in Kyle's career. The first week in Hawaii we recieved a call that solidified Kyle's internship and his new role as Dean of Students starting in the fall! We are all really excited about this opportunity! ;)
Now we are back home and finally adjusting to the time zone!

Happy Birthday Kylee

It is hard to believe she is 4...but then I say that every year. She is an amazing little girl. She is strong and independent. She is joyful and brings much laughter to our lives. She is beautiful. She never ceases to amaze me with her understanding or her questions. She is learning to read and write. She loves books and dolls and playing with her friends. She likes riding her bike and swimming. She is a little ballerina who will also be playing soccer this year. She loves being a big sister and asks nearly every day that we put a baby in my belly. On her birthday she told me that she really wants to be 5. I would rather soak up the next 364 days with her as a four year old...if she only knew just how quickly these years are going! Happy, Happy Birthday my sweet girl! You are one of my greatest blessings.
