Nice and Warm

Merrill took this Flag picture at the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial with his dad.

It is nice and warm in Hawaii. (not like in Utah.)

The Family Trip

My family left today to go back to California.

We had a great time - and saw a lot of wild life.

I hope we have this much luck with our future guests!

(Yes- There was some editing done on one picture)

Finger Paint

Sunday afternoons get long and boring. So this is what we did today.

Dang Flies

So we have at least one fly that gets in our house every day, even though I yell at the kids to close the screen door when ever they go in and out. Today the fly was extra hard to get. But don't worry - I got it. Well.....kinda. I decided that I had enough of it landing and taking off and freaking me out. So I got the rag and went hunting. I followed it around the house for a good 5 minutes, till it all payed off. It was sitting on the soap dispenser on the sink and I went in for the kill, moving quickly to make sure and get it. I swung the rag and hit the soap so hard that some squirted out in to the sink. And there was no fly...I thought. There was a bit on the rag, but no wings or upper body parts...weired right? So I wash the rag out and put it in the laundry bag (I don't want to get mixed up and wipe the kids' faces off with it) and I am looking around the sink for the rest of the body. (I would hate for Merrick to find it on the ground and pop it in his mouth) I look at the soap thing - and there it is. Trying to get AWAY! But oh yeah, its guts are preventing it from flying off......Its trapped by its own goo. I thought, "NO WAY!" that is sick....it is still alive?! Yes it was. Trying to fly away, but unable because of the innards that were stuck to the soap dispenser. I'm sorry if anyone reading this barfed in their mouth a little, but get a stick of gum and you will be all right. Just be glad you didn't have this happen to you.

Sea Hunt

Went to the Easter Egg hunt today - got some OTC toys in the eggs.

The boys had a great time.

The Tramp

I wish Braxton had some shorts like his Best Friend.

A tan would be nice too......with some sweet moves.

Aren't they cute?!

Just for fun

This was taken at Lake Tullock last summer

I know you will all be wanting to know where I get my good looks from - but I wont tell.

I just love the chocolate-in-the-teeth-trick to give me that genuine white trash look.

I also Love to take the things people don't use from their room-service trays in the morning, or late at night when you get back to your hotel.

I don't obey the

"KEEP OFF WALLS AND ROADWAY"

warning sign of the world famous Lumbar Street.

And who can tell me why I keep waring this big ugly sunglasses, instead of just spending the $12 at Ross and getting some new ones?

Braxton - I miss you!

I am in California right now with Merrick at my friend Mel's house. I have been gone 6 days. I miss Braxton like crazy. We are having fun, and I feel that when I get back to Hawaii I will be a more calm, relaxed mom. I recommend all moms take a trip with as few kids as possible if they need to re-charge.

Braxton - I love you! Merrill - you too. I love you and want to...uummmm.....you know.
