Hawaii

So in the beginning of November we got to go to Oahu, Hawaii! We had so much fun. It was amazing! We can't wait to get a chance to go back. I know it's taken me a while to get a post written about this but I always like to say better late than never! So without further ado here are our favorite Hawaii memories!

The first day we were there we went and visited the USS Arizona Memorial. It was very humbling to be there and we both really enjoyed getting to see it.

Then we got to go visit the Polynesian Cultural Center that same day. It is so fun there! We got to go to the luau they have for dinner (they even cooked the pig in a pit in the ground)!We had the once in a lifetime experience to go to the Laie Hawaii Temple Open House! What a gorgeous temple.Then we went to Pali lookout. Brandon didn't believe me when I was telling him how windy it is there, but I think the picture of my hair says it all :)We also got to visit the USS Missouri while we were there.We went to the Dole Pineapple plantation which was a lot of fun. We got to have a dole whip which is basically frozen pineapple ice cream heaven! We actually ended up going back our last day to get just one more before we left.Our last day watching the sunset over the ocean. That's diamond head in the background which is one of the volcanoes on the island. We didn't get a chance to hike up to the top so we're going to save it for next time we get to go :)

London. Paris. Moab!

So maybe some day we'll get to visit those first two places, but we can now say that we have been to Moab! And it was so much fun! So this vacation was like clear back in June...but we've been so busy since then that I'm just now getting around to telling you all about it. We went for a combined graduation trip for Nathan and I and we visited Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. It is so pretty down there, it just made me love Utah even more. We had such a blast seeing everything, there are some really amazing and beautiful landscapes down there. Here are some of my favorite pictures. Brandon and I made sure we go a picture in front of every arch we hiked too, some of them were a pretty big accomplishment! Enjoy!

St. George

Hey everybody! So I’m down in sunny St. George this week helping my Aunt out. It’s been a VERY. long time since I last posted on here and quite a lot has happened. Missy is so much fun to have around I’m really glad we were able to get a dog. We had a really fun Easter and got a lot of candy. Missy even got a toy from the Easter bunny. (She’s already ripped a hole in it) School has been out for about a month now so we have had a lot of fun spending more time together. One of our favorite family night activities is giving Missy a bath (Missy isn’t too fond of it but we like watching Missy pout)
So far St. George has been really fun. I got here last night around dinner time. Grandma and Michele left this morning after they came to check on us. All of the kids (except Dustin) have been at school. Dustin really likes Missy, and Missy is doing pretty good around the kids. She wasn’t too sure of all of them at first though. Well that’s all for now!
