Plumber Anyone??!

I just couldn't help but snap some pictures today when Evelyne put her pants on all by herself after going to the bathroom.. This chick makes me STILL dress her.. is that normal? lol. Maybe she's lazy or maybe I'm just use to doing it but people, I'm over it! I'm ready for her to dress herself! Matched clothing or not! ha. So, today I was so proud of her when I saw her putting her pants on all by herself! What a big girl!... ;o)



Isn't she just so dang precious... Love her!

Before I let Stephen help her fix her britches I HAD to get these pictures... ha. ha.

Solo!

This Kid right here just finished the F.T.O program.. And is officially a solo officer! ...So happy for him!! :)

ALOHA! Part 1

Stephen and I had such a great time this last week.. Our trip to Hawaii was amazing! EVERYONE needs to go at least once! Stephen loved it so much that he wants to go back! Yippee! We had several activities planned.. We went on a raft trip and did some snorkeling (AMAZING), we went to several beaches and had plenty of time in the gorgeous sun, we went to a Luau, Stephen went scuba diving (which he LOVED) and I got an amazing massage/facial.. Ugh, I'd love another one.. We drove up a big volcano, and checked out a few little towns that were near by. We had such a great time together- it really was amazing being alone with out the babies. We both missed them SO much. There were several times something would be said or we'd see something that reminded us of one of them.. We'd laugh or get sad.. haha. It sure was nice being able to do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. But then got sad seeing others have fun as a family. It's all good though, we'll definitely be going back when the girls are older. ;o)

So bummed.. We were INCREDIBLY embarrassingly late to our snorkeling trip. And forgot to bring our camera AND under water camera.. Ugh, so upset about that.. So, you'll just have to believe me that that was incredible. We called for directions the day before, never got a call back and then turns out when we got the call that morning we were an hour away. Ha. Oops! It got to the point that I felt like I was in an episode of Amazing Race. LOL FINALLY, we got on the boat and people we clapping for us. Ha. How embarrassing. ;o) We saw dolphin and a humpback whale! Amazing! I couldn't believe what it looked like under water.. So beautiful! Now I know why Stephen is so into scuba diving. He wants me to get certified so bad, but I think I would panic!

Our place that we stayed at was beyond amazing... We were pretty much just there to sleep and hang out a couple nights. But it was gorgeous. The weather was pretty great. If it was rainy or cloudy where we were staying we were able to find a beach in another area and find some perfect sun. And WARM ocean to swim in. I tried to meet my husbands adventurous standards. Poor thing has a bit of a boring wife. LOL I got so far out in the ocean with him that once I finally put my head up I was in a panic!!! The only thing that came to mind was 'this is how they get ideas for shark movies!!!!' BUT, on that same swim I saw a SEA TURTLE! It was amazing. The coolest thing ever. Just as I was about to pansy out.. PLUS we got it on camera. So cool! Well, enough of my mumber jumble. Here are some pictures of our trip! We were literally going all day, every day.. but we really tried hard to capture a lot. :) Enjoy!




We had a lay over in Honolulu for about 40minutes. (lame) but Stephen thought it was great seeing birds fly around. LOL he had to capture the moment ;o)





We'll definitely be staying here again..



Some scenic pictures...








Miss Nora and Maia! I'm pretty sure Uncle Stevie was in site.. That poor Mai Mai was not a fan. It was pretty cute- Stephen tried bribing her with EVERYTHING. She eventually warmed up to him a little bit. <3


















I know, Random Huh...




A bunch of different trees that were formed out of ONE tree.. I thought this was pretty neat.
