Spring Blossoms at the park

I took Ty and Allie to the park today! Ty loves to be outside! He always throws a fit when we have to come in. He also loves balls. He always has to have one, and it's also his favorite word! He will turn one in about a week! I don't know where the time goes! He is crawling all over the place and moving along furniture. It won't be long before he is walking!

I had to snap a picture of these pretty blossoms at the park. I love pink blossoms, they are my favorite. Although they make me sneeze and my eyes itch!

Baseball Time!!

The dreaded baseball season is here full force! Two games plus practice every week times 2 boys = crazy times!! It doesn't help that we have to watch the games in the rain 90% of the time.

Brycen got drafted to the White Sox this year! He sure loves this game. He is so upset if a game or practice gets cancelled due to bad weather! He takes this game SERIOUS! He came home from the first practice telling me that "he was the best one on the team"!

Up to bat!

Play'n catcher!

Made it to 1st!

Run'n to 3rd.

And here is baby Ty, watching in the RAIN!

Blake is on the Cardinals for the second year in a row. He is playing his first year of kid pitch. He doesn't love the game as much as Brycen, if a game gets rained out he has no complaints. He is doing great this year. He has been able to pitch in a few games.

Run'n to second base!

playing Catcher here.

Our Trip To Maui!!

Jared and I spent a week in Maui for spring break. We left our kids home with my sister Kristin and her husband. They flew in from Utah. She did an awesome job with the kids. Allie probably missed us the most. She was wondering when we were coming home the first day we got there.

We visited Lahaina a few times. We ate at a restaurant called Kimo's.

We got to watch the sun set as we ate.

And then we shared a mud pie!

We took some pictures at Banyan park.

We ate at Lahaina grill one night and then went to a magic show.

We stayed at a resort called the Westin.

We went to sacrament meeting in Lahina.

We earned a free 5 course meal at a restaurant called Tropicana by listening to a time share presentation. We ate on the beach and watched the sun set!

Jared tried paddle boarding.

ROAD to HANA

We took a full day and drove to the other side of the island where the rain forest is. They call it the road to Hana. We saw lots of cool trees and waterfalls.

Jared swam beneath the waterfall. I did not join him. I am not a fan of freezing cold water.

LUAU

We went to the Wailele Polynesian Luau.

All the people we sat with were Grandma's and Grandpa's. We loved it though. They were all so fun to talk to. They food they served was really yummy!

Awesome entertainment as well!

This guy came out into the crowd and gave Jared the stare down. I guess that meant he was "the chosen one." He had to walk up to the stage and was given some tall grass tied together. We are still not sure what that was all about! Ha ha!

BOAT RIDE

We took a day to go out on this boat, the pride of Maui. We went to Molokini crater, a partially sunken volcano. There we went snuba diving. It was pretty freaky breathing under water. But we saw some cool fish and coral. The boat then took us to "Turtle town" where we went snorkeling and saw three turtles! It was also the end of Whale season when we were there, so we got to see a few whales.

ZIP LINING

Zip lining was probably my favorite thing of the whole trip! It was pretty awesome riding over these trees. The views were amazing and the ride was super fun!
