Aloha from Hawaii!!

Well, Mark and I are lucky enough to be in Hawaii! Thanks to Mark's parents! We got here yesterday. We flew into Honolulu and drove around for a bit. Then we surprised Mark and are staying at Turtle Bay Hotel in North Shore. Mark is a big surfer and wanted to visit the North Shore for a day, but his Mom told him it was too expensive to stay there. We were only going to stay here for 2 nights, but canceled our other hotel in Wakiki to stay here for 4 nights. It is absolutely beautiful here. Our view from the hotel is just gorgeous. I am sitting on the balcony right now enjoying the sunrise. It is 3 hours behind AZ time, so it was 5:45 Hawaii time when I decided I couldn't sleep anymore. So this is what I am doing until everyone else wakes up. But I can't believe how beautiful it is here. 

 This is the view from our hotel room.

We are really close to BYU Hawaii and the Hawaii temple. so today we are going to visit the temple and then go to the Polynesian Cultural Center the rest of the day! I am way excited to do that. It sounds like fun! Then on Saturday we are spending the whole day at the beach!

This was after a 6 hour flight here, then who knows how many hours in the car. Being pregnant just my whole body swell up. I can't believe I posted this, but enjoy!

My Little Mermaid!

One of my favorite things to do before I make dinner is to go outside and watch my kids ride their bikes and to release their energy!! Well, Elli decided to go acroos the street and get on this rock and she told me, "Look Mom, Im Little Mermaid!" Then she continued to sing the "Ah Ah Aaaahhhhhh" song Ariel sings when she loses her voice. Everything she does has to do with Princesses.

Braeden's cousin got a bigger bike so he gave his old one to Braeden! I think it was about time Braeden got a new bike. I didn't even think he could be big enough to ride a 16" bike. He's still so small. But here's a BEFORE pic....

And here's AFTER

He calls this bike a motorcycle because it is the size of a 50 motorcycle. I really don't know where he got this info but that is all he talks about. "Mom, can we go outside and ride my motorcycle?" He loves having a new bike! Thanks Trevor for giving Braeden a "motorcycle"!!

2 Cute Babies

Elli didn't want to let Baby Tyke go. She loves the baby! I am in for it when we have our baby. She is never going to leave the new baby alone and will always try to HELP OUT, but not when I am wanting her too! But it is still adorable!

WOW!!

Well, this is the view from our back porch! I love it! Last year the Superstition Mountains had a huge down pour of snow and I didn't get a picture of it. But if you look beyond the rainbows, you can see the Superstiotions with snow on it. What a fun day! I love the rain!
