Spring!

 This spring, Ethan and Rachel received 3 different Flat Stanley projects in the mail to complete. So we had lots of fun gallivanting around the island taking pictures.  Rachel got to be a flag bearer at her school's morning ceremony.  Deryck graduated from his 6 month school in DC.  His Dad and I made it for his graduation.  While in DC, the kids stayed in Hawaii with my  parents and we got to go see the sights which included Arlington.  It was a wonderful time away and DC was beautiful!

Christmas 2011

 We spent Christmas on the mainland.  The kids and I made a trip to Chicago to see my grandmother and Aunt.  We also spent good time in Arkansas with all of our family.  We were freezing to death, but we had a wonderful time.

Thanksgiving 2011

We spent Thanksgiving at Bellows (our favorite beach).  We rented a cabin for a few days and had wonderful time with our Daddy who had been in DC for over a month at school.  It is tradition for the kids to all take a sunrise swim in their jammies!  It might have been one of the BEST Thanksgivings ever.

Yikes! It's been forever!

 Well, where to start?  My last post was Rachel's birthday back in September!  So sorry!  Since then we have spent a wonderful Thanksgiving at Bellows, Christmas on the mainland, Ethan turned 8, and lots (LOTS) of visitors!  I will be posting a few new posts with pics.  For those of you who do not know, we are moving this summer to Travis AFB in northern California.  It will definitely be bittersweet because of our love for Hawaii.
