California, here we come!

Since Mike and I took a trip we decided to take the kids for a trip too! 3 days after we got back from Hawaii (just long enough to wash laundry & re-pack) we took the kids to California. We went to Knott's Berry Farm, Knott's Soak City (water park) and the beach. Logan got his own Boogie board last year and loved it. This year it was Carlee's turn (it had to be pink, of course). Once she got the hang of it, we couldn't get her off of the board to leave (after 7 hours)!! My kids are definitely water kids.

They love the beach. It was so much fun and it was very nice, cool weather in California too! However, we were very ready to get home and not be living out of

suitcases and eating out after 2 1/2 weeks!

Hawaii

I'm way behind in my posting because we've been really busy since mid-July.

I promise to get caught up!

Mike and I went to Maui, Hawaii, again (we went for our 10th too), for our 12th anniversary this year. It is SO BEAUTIFUL there! It's relaxing, slow paced, quiet, beautiful, serene and it's perfect weather. We had a blast swimming, snorkeling, hiking, sight seeing, a boat/snorkeling trip to Molokini,

eating and shopping. Here are some of our favorite pictures.

Birthday Party

Logan wanted a bouncy party this year for his birthday party. It was great! I highly recommend them especially if your kid is born in JULY when it's REALLY HOT! It was nice and cool inside and they played for 3 hours (including cake and gifts). Logan, his friends and family all had a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday Logan! We love you!

Starry Safari Water Night at the Zoo

We took the kids to the water night at the zoo a couple weeks ago. It was cheap but not all it's cracked up to be. We manged to have a good time any way and now we know what it's all about. They need to have MORE water slides to keep kids cool and have them broken down by age groups or something. There was A LOT of waiting in line (20 min.) to go down a slide for 3 seconds, it was like Disneyland downscaled. CRAZY!

Logan's Actual Birthday

Logan's actual birthday was on a Wednesday this year. It's kind of hard to have a party in the middle of the week. We spent the day as a family and took him to SunSplash. Then we invited the grandparents to go to dinner to one of Logan's favorite restaurants. I bet you'll never guess...LOGAN'S ROADHOUSE. We had a great dinner and Logan even got a birthday "YEEHAW" from the whole restaurant and a dessert. Then we went and "played" around in Bass Pro Shops. He loves the Shootin' Range. These are the only pictures I took. I was too busy talking at dinner and obviously didn't have the camera at the water park.
