Hawaii Trip 2011

Jed's work hosts an incentive trip every year and this year it was Hawaii. We had an incredible time. It was so nice and relaxing. We just hung out and had many lazy days. My little ones were all sick at home though so I would be lying if I said I didn't feel bad just a little, but they all survived and were well cared for by loved ones and friends. I am truly blessed to have such incredible people in my life that are willing to help out when needed! Anyway our week was spent at luaus, the beach, whale watching, the beach, eating LOTS and LOTS of incredible food, oh yea and did I mention THE BEACH. I actually read 3 books on this trip. Just sat in the sun listening to the waves crash against the sand. Incredible! That is one of the top sounds on my list. Anyway here are some of the pictures! I hope you enjoy.

Ashlee's 6th Birthday

Wow, I can't believe it. My little girl turned 6 last month. She is growing up so quickly. Much too quickly if you ask me. For her Birday this year we ended up not doing a big friend party. Time just got away with me with the holidays and a bunch of other stuff and so it just didn't happen. I felt some MAJOR guilt because of that as she has been talking about her birthday all school year. I took some cupcakes to her class as it was a Friday. It was so cute watching all of the kids chasing her around and calling her Birthday girl. She felt like a queen for the day. My little girl can be so shy sometimes and gets embarresed pretty easily. She just gets this very timid look on her face when she is in the front, but also loves to be incharge. That night we drove down to my moms and I got her a little Cinderella cake to have with them. My sister's dog was born on Ashlee's birthday so we had a little dog bone shaped cake for them too. Ashlee, Hyrum and Cole had a ball. Then the next day we invited over some friends and dinner and another cake. This was a Chipmunk cake. Ashlee LOVES the chipmunks. She has watched "The Squekquel" like a million times and knows all of Brittneys dance moves from the movie. It is seriously adorable to watch her dancin'. This year we got her a big girl bike...I hope she learns soon or we will be exhausted! Hahahaha...All in all I think it turned out great for her and she didn't miss the big party she didn't get.
