Valentine's Day

This year on Valentine's Day we went around the table telling each other what we love about one another. Joshua's were my favorite.

Mom- "you are always so sweet and drop me off at school and pick me up"
Dad- "you always make me dinner and play the wii with me" (I am the one that makes the meals in our house).
Elise- "I have so much fun playing tag and hide-n-seek with you"

Hope you had a chance to express your affection for those you love.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hawaii

We spent a week on Maui as a family. We filled our days with time at the pool, playing at the beach, time at the spa and eating good food. Joshua and Keith went on a submarine ride and I took the kids on the sugar cane train. We can't wait to go back!

Memorial Day

We spent a perfect day at the beach with friends on Memorial Day.

Memorial Day Weekend

We took the kids hiking in Big Basin National Forest over the long weekend. They had a great time. We were suprised how well they did on the hike. We went on a 4 mile hike and they both walked (at times ran) the whole time. We had a great day.

Soccer

Joshua has taken up soccer. It is little crazy with 15 4 year-olds running around on the field.

Yo Ho Ho

Joshua had a pirate party this year. He and a handful of shipmates walked the plank and went on a treasure hunt for buried gold and jewels. We had a whole lot of swashbuckling fun.

The goodie bags were filled with all things pirate related.

My attempt to make pirate ship sails.

A picture from each year of his life hung above the table.

Joshua's Birthday

Our boy is 4! Happy Birthday Joshua. We love you so much!
