Busy Family!!!

So I know it has been about 2 years and WOW how fast that has gone! Devon is now 12, Dakota is 11 and Dawsyn will be 6 on Tuesday!! Devon is gearing up for Baseball to start he will be playing Little League Majors and 50/60 this year! Dakota is playing basketball and is gearing up for Softball to start she will be playing on a Minor team with her Dad managing! :) Dawsyn is playing basketball and is also gearing up for Softball she will be playing PeeWee's!
Devon is enjoying Middle School and a little more freedom with his friends as Dakota is plucking away at her last year of Elementary school while Dawsyn is just starting her journey through Elementary. Dawsyn is loving Kindergarten and is reading a ton.
Dan is currently working out in Hillsburo and I got a job working for Salmon Creek Oral Surgery and Periodontics it is so great there!! I have also decided to take a 2nd job selling life insurance for Primerica with a friend of ours I am looking forward to getting started with that because with Dan off for so long last year and looking at possibly being out of work for a little bit again it will be nice to make money on the side. :)
***Anyone need any life Insurance or possible want to make lots of extra money?? let me know**
Well, I will start with this and hope to keep up with this during out crazy sports season!

Basketball and Horses

Here are a few pictures from Dakota's basketball game on Saturday! She did great and scored a few baskets! She is loving basketball and we hope to get her on another team soon. I am so happy and proud of her!

These are pictures from yesterday when we went to a friends to ride horses! It was great fun and the kids just loved the horses and they are asking for a few horses now and to move somewhere we can have horses! Dawsyn was very unsure about the sheep but loved the rest!

The last of the pictures

Here are more pictures of us playing on the beach Sat.

Here we are headed home!! Pictures of the kids on the plane from Kauai to Honolulu and then waiting in the airport for our plane to Portland!! The kids were all so good when flying. When we were on the plane headed for Portland Dawsyn kept asking if we had blasted off yet but we were waiting on the tarmak and right before we took off she fell asleep and slept about 2 1/2 hours!! When she woke up she wanted to now if we had blasted off yet!

Here are the girls in there Hula outfits that Pa Henry got them!! Dawsyn wears her's everyday almost all day long! I keep telling her that it is a little to cold out to be wearing it outside or to the store! OMG What do I tell her when it gets warmer outside!! LOL

FRIDAY!!!

We went out on a Catameran for about 5.5 hours on Friday morning! It was a blast other then the seas started getting a little rough and Dan and Devon started getting sick then Dawsyn didn't feel that good. So I started not feeling real great after standing on the back of the boat with Dawsyn. There are not that many pictures of us on the boat because of us not feeling well. We got to see lots of Humpback Whales and Dolphins!! Dakota got to stand on the nets in the front of the boat with the Dolphins swimming under her!! When we were snorkeling we say tons of cool fish and a few turtles!! We had a great day out on the water!!

We went to see the Spouting Horn and then to Po' ipu beach!! It is beautiful there

So this is out poor Mini Van after the accident

We went to the beach and played on Sat. before we had to start packing up to come home!

This is one morning when we decided to play around outside of our room!!

We went to the Light House and had fun beautiful view and great bird watching!

More Pictures

This is the Wet Caves! Looks cool and goes on forever but they say you can't go in the water! I does kind of stink!!

This is the Fern Grotto!! We took a boat out to see this before the Luau very fun and beautiful

Waiting at the Luau for them to dig up the pig

It was so much fun!! Dawsyn was not so happy that she could not go up and Hula with the big girls!! It was so funny how mad she really was!

Here are more pictures from Hawaii!!! This first set is us hanging out with Granny and Pa in the room and then Dan and Pa Henry decided to take the kids to the nice NONHEATED pool!! Very Very cold but fun for about 5 min.

This was the Boardwalk and man it was so windy that day

The dry caves were very neat and cold.

This beach was very cool but not a place to swim do to the surf. Great place to get shells

More Hawaii

I love this picture!!!

We were able to go ziplining the first full day that we were there!! It was a blast!! Dan, Devon, Mom, Henry, Pa and I went while the girls stayed with Granny!! Devon was a little scared along with Dan and Mom but after the first one the butterflies flew away!! LOL the first lines were the shortest and I think it was about 340 feet across and the longest one was 1200 feet across and you had to climb a ladder 30 feet up to get enough speed to go that far!! So very fun.

Hawaii

So this first set of pictures is our first day on Kauai!! We left the airport and headed first to Safeway for a few groceries and then to the beach were the kids could play a little and not get wet!! LOL Devon was soaked! We were so excited to finally be there and to see the beautiful land.

This is our next stop! We went ot a beach were you couldn't swim but there were lots of surfers to watch! Very fun!

This was day 2 we went to Kalihiwai Bay to play in the water and collect some seashells and coral! Devon and Dakota were trying to learn how to boogie board but there were not enough waves for them to really do it!

This is the view from out room!! Very nice to wakeup to and nice to be that close to the water to help you fall asleep at night! We stayed in the bottom right of the condo and the kids loved waking up and going out to sit on the bench to see the sun on the water! Man we really miss it there.
