Hawaii April 2010

What an amazing trip we had to the Big Island on Kona. We were able to meet up with Ben's friends from Alaska (Josh, Joslyn, Jaren, Jacob, and Jillian)and have so much fun relaxing. Joslyn's parents and Ben's Dad were also able to join us.

The plane ride there and back was not the best but the trip was unbeleivable.

Ruby loved playing with Jillian and the rest of us just enjoyed each other and the lack of expectation to do anything but tan and relax.

I forgot to but sunblock on my backside one day. Yes that is a real burn. I don't know if my husband has ever been as excited to help me with a problem as he was to apply lotion and aloe vera to that burn(Boys).

We loved having Granpa Alaska along. Ruby was in heaven. Grandpa had grandkids and the ocean that is a no brainer.

Trip was great fun hope to do it again.

Park Fun

I took the kids to the park for a little fun and thought I would take a few pictures for daddy for Valentines day.

Ruby was not willing to pose for the camera.

Smile pretty for daddy.

Yes, I did sanitize his hands right after.

Wyatt loves to look for big sister coming down the slide.

Here she comes!

I love this picture. It says alot about her personality.

Natural pictures capture them best anyway.

Ruby is THREE!

Ruby is finally a big three year old and working hard toward her independence. Everything that day was about three. Three braids in her hair, three books to read, three cupcakes to eat...

She still cant figure out how come she cant catch up in age with her cousin Aiden. She said "I'm three now and Aidens three" (with a very proud look on her face i might add). She was not happy when mom said that Aiden is now four. Why does everything have to be a race with these two.

Happy birthday Ruby!

Christmas Fun
