Aloha

It has been a while since my last post, but here are some fun pictures of my trip to Hawaii.
This is us after our tubing trip on Kauai.

we went to with Jennifa's family.

Our fabtabulous rental car on Oahu!! ( that is me in the back with my hands raised.)

It was such an awesome time and it was relaxing. It was fun to see some things we didn't last time and enjoy each other's company. I would recommend this trip to everyone. Until our next grand adventure.... I'm thinking Europe or the east coast... we shall see.

Adventures in Hawaii

Well, we have been here in Hawaii a few days and have had a wonderful time. We are still trying to do daily notes on Jeanna's blog, but we missed last night because we got back too late. Any way I thought I would give you a few highlights any way. The beach is as beautiful as ever, it is extremely green here and has been very very humid. We have been shopping, done lots of walking, driving, kicked my camera into the ocean (accidently of course), eaten lots and lots of yummy food, tried new foods, gotten masssages, and have enjoyed just relaxing and seeing the sites. It has been so much fun and I have loved it. I will give a full report later, but I hope all is well for each of you and that you have a very Happy Memorial Day!

Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii. So yes folks we made it here safe and sound. I just wanted to let you all know that we are blogging our trip on Jeanna's blog. I will put a link on this page and you all should check it each day, we will be updating it each day. Any way I hope all is well for each of you and I will see you in all soon.

Concert and Birthday Party

Melly's birthday was yesterday, she turned 8, here is her after blowing out her candles.

Melly opening her presents.

Carson, Josh, and Melly after the concert. Josh got a trophy because it was his last year.

Melly had a part where she sang the grouch song in a garbage can pretty cute.

Josh singing away with the guys looking suave!

Carson singing at the beginning of the concert.

It was a great show full of lots of laughs and entertainment. These are one of the highlights of my year.

Well, that about sums up the last few weeks. I am off on another vacation this week and will have lots of pictures so show you when I get back.

Update and fun times in Logan

So I haven't blogged in a while. So I thought I would give you some pics. While we were down in Utah for Wicked we stayed with Shauna a few days. Here are some pics from a soccer game we went to while we were there.

Here is the birthday cake, Sha made for me.
Cute Ava in her chair.

Weston had a soccer game so we got to go to that. He my the two goals for his team, Go Weston. On May 1st (the most fabulous day of the year, but I am not bias at all) Kimi graduated from college! Go Kimi! Here she is after graduation!! Check out the air on that. It was a fun day. We then came home and had cake and ice cream with the family. It was lots of fun. My friends came over too and we had lots of laughs... snap snap J-Crew.. don't worry you don't have to get that. Any way the next day a bunch of us went out to dinner and a movie for me and it was lots of fun. I was bummed I didn't get any pictures there, but Jeanna put some on facebook so it's all good.


The next day we went back to Logan for Ava's blessing. It was lots of fun to be with almost all of the fam and spend some time together. We also gave Mom her mother's day present with us all there... we fixed her cuckoo clock, she was so surprised. It was lots of fun. Here are some pictures from that day. Isn't she adorable!!

Last week was a pretty crazy week. Ryan and Kristy's kids had a TaVaci concert, Derek turned a year older and Melly turned eight. I will post some pictures of these things on my next blog.

WICKED

So Wednesday night a bunch of us went to WICKED at the Capital Theater in Salt Lake. It was so fabtabulous.

Kimi and her roomies, Jen and Holly, to the far right, came with us as well as two of her other friends. Lisa and her sister-in-law Christy, Jeanna and her Mom, Sister Clayson, Willie, his sister, and his parents all came with us. It was so much fun. There is a picture of the stage before it opened up. In the middle is the Emerald City. Below is the Capital Theater

Here is us by the sign outside the theater.

We bought the tickets last December when Kimi, Jenn Lee, and I stood in line on the streets of Salt Lake for like 9 hours to get them. It was quite the adventure and now I can say that I have slept on the streets at night. Here is a picture of that night. Kimi is the one under the white blanket and Jenn Lee is the other one. I think they were warm that night, personally I froze that night, but then again I never dress for the weather. Jenn Lee and a bunch of friends went a few weeks ago and we went this night.

Here is a picture of Chele, Me, and Sha before the show.

Chele, me, Kimi, and Sha after the show. We are flipping our hair toss, toss. We just want to be Popular I guess. Also, I got to hear my favorite line again.... which is , "It's only a pair of shoes." I loved the play and it was even better because I got to share it with my sisters. It was a fun girls night out.

Cookie Dough Ice Cream

So do you ever have the moments in life when you learn a lot more about something than you ever thought you would at that stage in life. For example you learn all about cookie dough ice cream and how different it tastes to different people and how sometimes it drips on your hand. Like for example, some have never tried it and so they think, I don't know if I will like it, I mean it has chunks of dough in it and that might sound icky to somebody. Or maybe you don't like things that cold getting too close to you because it causes a brain freeze. Or maybe you haven't had the opportunity to try it and so you don't know what you are missing. Or maybe you have tried more than one kind of cookie dough ice cream and you just haven't found the one that tastes the best to you. I mean there are a lot of different brands out there even of cookie dough ice cream and how do you know which brand you will like and which one will taste nasty. What if it turns out you don't even like cookie dough ice cream at all does that mean there is something wrong with you or you just haven't found the right brand that you like?
Ok so some of you might be reading this and be thinking ok Jenn you have too much time on your hands; this may be true but I have been thinking about this a lot lately and for those of you that had cookie dough ice cream with me last night this makes perfect sense. I was thinking about this today and I found this picture on the Internet and I thought it fit perfectly, don't you think.
Perhaps I just need to keep looking for the cookie dough ice cream that tastes the best to me. To those of you that have discovered your favorite cookie dough ice cream I congratulate you and hope it is everything you thought it would be. For those of you that have tried different brands and are still looking for the right brand I know it is out there just keep tasting away. And for those that have never tried cookie dough ice cream, there is always Hawaii, I hear they have great cookie dough ice cream. I personally am looking forward to trying it there. If I don't try it there I guess I will have to try it somewhere else..... anyone have any suggestions........
