Maui part 1

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by going to maui! It was a dream trip. 9 days with no cell phones(except to grandparents and sisters :) ) and to do whatever we wanted to ...whale watching, snorkeling, laying by the pool, spaaing it, surfing...good times! Thank you to the grandparents(& aunt kylie) for watching the kiddos so we could have a great time and not worry!

Big Book Report

Drew and I were leaving for our 10th anniversary trip when Hayden was assigned a big project for school - a book report. Luckily aunt kylie was there to save the day since he would need to be working on it while we were gone. He chose the book "Knight at Dawn." It turned out so awesome! They made the stairs to the tree house out of Popsicle sticks that Hayden colored. And the glittery castle was a nice effect too!

Hayden at the book fair at school where the kids got to display their projects for all the parents to see. Hayden didn't win a prize, but 2 first grade teachers came up and told us it was one of their favorite projects!

The hero aunt kylie at the book fair! Thanks aunt kylie for all the help with the project!

Easter Afternoon

To get everyone to look at the camera is quite a miracle...

Hayden would!

After fried chicken and homemade ice cream she was ready to find her eggs

Hadyen was too busy running around to find the most eggs to pose for pics...

Sugar Cookies and Dyin' Eggs

Aunt "Callie" (as hadley says it - Kylie) and Nina came over and we dyed Easter eggs and made homemade sugar cookies. The cookies were my friend Lysa's recipe and I think the best I have ever had!
