Fairy Tea Party

Addy and I got to attend the Fairy Tea Party last weekend at the Provo library. We went with a few of our neighbors. Addy loved every minute of it. She especially loved the ballerinas, she couldn't keep her eyes off of them. We were standing in line to get her picture taken with the fairy king and all she wanted to do was get her picture taken with the ballerinas. She asked me when she was going to get the big ballerina skirt and shoes. I guess I might have a dancer on my hands. Thanks Kim for getting us tickets.

Addy's Preschool V-day Program

Addy had a cute preschool Valentine program. It was so fun to watch her singing. She loves to sing she sings along with the radio, she sings in her room with her toys, she sings pretty much all the time. She has been practicing the preschool songs at home for weeks, so she finally got to perform them for us. Next she was excited about writing her name on her Valentine's. Her name got a little bit more legible towards the end of the Valentine's. Some of the kids may have gotten a Valentine from Abby because she mixes up her B's and her D's. That's okay because she did it herself. Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Birthday

Here he is Seven years old
As Ethan requested we went to the twisty breadstick place





Ethan invited his friends sledding to celebrate his birthday.

It is fun to see the changes in Ethan from Age 6 to 7. He is now a really good reader. He is great at writing and drawing pictures. He also is getting along with Addy a million percent better. He follows the rules and if anyone is out of line, no problem Ethan will let them know. He is now a huge Utah Ute fan. Grandma and Grandpa even took him to a Utes game for his birthday. Ethan still loves legos and is getting really good at putting them together. He still likes star wars guys and loves to play them with his dad. I am so glad that we survived those first few years because Ethan has turned out to be a great kid. I am really proud of him!

Aloha

In case you were wondering what Hawaii looks like in the winter.
Here is a shout out to Darin and Heidi, Thanks for letting us tag along on your work convention/vacation.
Jill and Heidi's wild Wiamea Canyon Adventure.
Okay so you can see a small glimpse. It was very overcast and we could only imagine how beautiful it really was.

As you can see the view was non existent at some points.

Yep getting a little bit better

However the wild life was fantastic check out the sweet roster and family of goats
Don't worry the view was lacking but the company was not, we laughed all morning long. Who needs a beautiful view anyways.
This is my freshman dorm. I was flooded with memories as we drove around the campus. Things have really changed. Laie seems more populated and they even had a Taco Bell and a Pizza Hutt. They now have two Food lands on the North shore and a stoplight, times are a changing.
The pineapple delights are not as good as I remember, they used to come inside of a pineapple.

It was awesome to go and see the Laie Temple, I have lots of fun college memories there.

Sorry the pictures are a little dark.

Here we are at the PCC Yes Kap is still working there 20 years later

(He was our favorite part of the PCC)




We had so much fun Zip lining, We got to go on nine different lines.

Ronda was the best guide ever!!!!
And I am pretty sure that we were the best zip liners ever!

Ski Day

Here are some pictures of our fun ski day. (Thanks Deena for sending us the pictures.) This was Ethan's first day skiing this year and he did really great. We didn't get to go last year because it was to hard to leave Brody for that long. We are looking forward to many more ski days this year!!! Thanks Deena and Madison for the fun time.
