This week it was soooo cold outside, we didn't know what to do with the day! All of a sudden my kids were playing!

Kanarraville Falls

We decided to take the kids on a hike and I remember loving the hike out to the Kanarraville Falls! Averie did so good, especially through the river...jumping from rock to rock. Easton was such a CHAMP too. I carried him in one of those things you strap to yourself and he slept most of the way. He really is funny....Sleeps and Eats!! I could tell when he was awake or asleep because all of a sudden it would feel so much heavier...asleep:) Averie wanted Wayne to carry her at the beginning...until she saw a girl about her age that was DOING IT BY HERSELF. So Averie wanted to step it up:) I'm so grateful for the beautiful place we get to live!

HAWAII

Wayne had to go to Hawaii for work and the kids and I got to go! We went to Honolulu and stayed in a hotel room that was connected to the mall he was working at. The trip was scheduled to be 12 days, but once we were there he had the hardest time finding employees. We ended up extending the trip making it 16 DAYS!! With 2 kids that is a LONG time, but it was fun. Averie, Easton, and I went to the beach every day(the picture of Easton in the double stroller packed with all of our beach stuff explains a lot of the looks people gave me.) Averie loved the beach and didn't want to come home. She was so good in the ocean(people looked at me like I was crazy for letting her be in there by herself but what choice did I have? 2 kids...1 parent??) We also went to the zoo and the aquarium. Poor Easton just wants to sleep all day, so we had to try and make it back to the hotel and figure out how to keep Averie quiet so that he could get a nap in. Once we opened the couch for Averie to sleep on, along with Eastons crib, you couldn't even walk around our room, it was hilarious! The lady that had to clean our room everyday didn't hide her annoyance with us! When we were supposed to leave she asked me if we were leaving tomorrow, when I had to tell her we extending our stay she said,"well then I guess I'll keep cleaning your room." with such a sad look on her face. I wanted to ask her how she thought we felt:) The picture of Averie on the little horse ride makes me laugh. She thought that these horses were her friends, we went to feed them EVERYDAY!(it cost $1 to ride that darn thing) We made it over to the Polynesian Cultural Center one day and it was my favorite part! They do such a good job of showing parts of each different culture.(I love the picture of Averie's first tattoo, Wayne was a little unsure but her and I thought it was Awsome) We made it to the temple too! I think that we got so lucky the plane rides went so good. Such a fun trip, I'm so glad that we were able to do this fun trip as a family!

Pre School!!!!

I can't believe that Averie is old enough to go to preschool! She is soooo ready though, in need of some social time:) She goes to the Washington City Preschool. She gets to do gymnastics, karate, and swimming there! When I ask Averie about school that day, she ALWAYS tells me what outfits her teachers were wearing that day. I have to get specific and ask about her friends and what she learned. She LOVES her teachers, miss Tracy and miss Jenny. Her favorite day is swim day, and her favorite part of the day is SNACK TIME! The other day one of her teachers called and said that Averie was saying that her tummy hurt so I went to pick her up. I get there and Averie said," They just wont give me any snacks mom." So she wouldn't come home she was just hungry, the teachers felt bad. Here are some pictures from her first day of school.
