Hawaii Day 7

We ended our trip with a visit to the Sugar Museum on the way to the airport. We were sad to leave but it was a great end to a wonderful trip!

Taylor and Aliza have been taking Dance since they were 3! Wow, it's been 5 years! It's fun to see how these girls have grown, and how much progress they have made. Taylor's first dance was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and the Second was Kidnap Mr. Santee Claus!

My Birthday

I am so grateful to have good friends! The day started with a lovely lunch at Stonefire. Samantha surprised me with my favorite cupcakes from Bake U Happy. They are adult ding dongs! YUM! Then I was off to get a pedicure with Daleen. Even better! Then ended with a nice sushi dinner with the family! Thanks everyone for making my day special!

Building the Jungle Gym!

My sweet hubby thought it would be fun to use our old pipes from the horse corrals and build the kids a swingset and jungle gym. It took months, a few injuries, and almost death to finish, but here it is, and the kids love it. It stands 12 feet tall and the platform is 7 feet above the ground. We ordered the slide, which cost more to ship than the slide itself. But the kids can say their dad built it for them!

Citizenship Award

Taylor received the student of the month award for Citizenship. We are so proud of her. Mrs. Graff talked about how Taylor is always respectful, helpful, honest, and kind. All the qualities of a good citizen. Go TAYLOR!

Rattlesnake Season

Here it is, officially our first rattle snake of the season. We were all hanging out outside, and Ethan came running to us screaming "I found a rattle snake, come quick!" I thought he was crazy, but sure enough, he was poking around with a stick and found one under our propane tank!
