In April we went to visit Jen. Lexi took some photos with her two closet cousins and Matt was able to see all of his brothers.

 

 

 

 

Welcome to Spring!

 

 

 

We have a strict no twinner policy at our house. Too bad I was alseep when Matt left for church and we discovered this when we arrived...

 

 

 

It is good to have a creatice husband at importnant times of the year (like Easter!)

 

 

 

 

So many great pictures! I will just post a few of Matt's collages and call it a day:-)!

 

 

 

 

Thanks to Mimi and Papa who took the kids, Matt & I were able to go zip lining down the mountains of Maui. The kids enjoyed some one on one time with their grandparents and Gabby got to fish on the golf course thanks to kids club Hyatt.

 

 

 

 

Welcome to Paradise. This February we were able to take a trip to Maui with Mimi and Papa. Matt and I loved the warm weather and the kids loved the beach and the pool.

 

 

 

 

In the end Hawaii was wonderful. When we returned Matt made a wonderful photo book about our vacation. On the cover is the picture of Matt, Jake, Gabby and I out in the water. Everyone who sees it comments that Lexi is not in the photo. Well...not from lack of effort we did not manage to return home with a single decent picture of the whole family!! Here are a few attempts.

 

 

 

 

As Christmas day continued Dad cooked breakfast (bacon and pancakes) and then we all gathered at our condo for a game of Beatles Rock Band.

 

 

 

 

Christmas at the lake is wonderful. Jake got a fire house complete with firemen and a fire truck, Gabby got an American Girl doll, My brother and I got matching instant meat thermometers, and my mom received an electronic bagpipe chanter.
