back home

       I'm not sure, did I really go to hawaii? It all seemed to go by so fast. Maybe that is the sign of a great vacation. Its a good thing we did take alot of pictures. Otherwise I may not remember.
       Life on an island is so different than the way we live. It is so carefree. Almost to a point of being lazy. Sometimes it makes you crazy? For the most part we had good weather. It did rain off and on the whole time we were there. But it was still fun. Even in the rain, we still went to the beach and it was actually fun. I would never do that in California. What got into me? It was more of a family trip than a vacation. When you are traveling with small children anything can happen, and most of the time its a surprise. Well at least it wasn't planned. Anyway we did all the tourist stuff and we saw alot of stuff. WE really enjoyed the time we had at the Temple. The grounds were so beautiful and the sister missionary that gave us a tour was delightful. She was funny and very new(just a few months there) She was from Germany, still an accent that was so fun to listen to.
         I don't know when we will be able to get any pictures up, because I still haven't learned how to do that? Mostly due to my fault. We just never have enough time in a day. And when the computer geeks are at my house they are always doing somthing and then they all go back to their houses.
 All  in all I think we had a really fun time. I can't wait to go back, maybe next spring???
I would be willing  to catch a ride with anyone that's going. And maybe, just maybe I will figure
out how to put pictures up on my blog. I must be the lamest blogger on the planet.

time out

I haven't been a very good blogger lately.
Shelby arrived home on Thursday and most of
the day I prepared for her arrival. It took awhile
for us to get back home,but we arrived safe and
sound. I still can't believe she went to Fiji.
We are washing clothes and unpacking and then
packing up for our trip to Hawaii. WE are all very
excited!!!! WE leave on the 6th and will be back
on the 16th. I am not going to write much until
after we get back. I am just too busy trying to
get everyone ready for the trip. Hopefully all 
will go well and we will be soaking up some
sun very soon.
