Birthday

SO these posts aren't in order....oh well. The day before we went to Hawaii we celebrated Carter's birthday. I can't believe that he is now 4 years old. He is now in CTR4 in primary and just yesterday he gave his first talk in primary! He did a great job and wasn't shy and said everything. He came home with a CTR ring. I remember that day when I got my first ring and it doesn't seem that long ago and here I am seeing my own child so excited to wear this ring. He has told me and his sister to choose the right and to make the right choice. I love my little Carter man and am thrilled to see him grow but it is sad too... it all goes by so fast!!! I wish I could just stop time for a few months and go back and relive certain days :)

WAY TOO LONG

Okay so I am going to do a ton of "catch up" posts. I know its been like 5 months. TONS has happened and I need to write it down. I think I will start with HAWAII!!! We were really blessed this last year to be able to go on a family vacation to Hawaii. I was extremely nervous to take all 3 kids all the way over there.....but we did and we had a great time. It is so beautiful and right now I am just dreaming I am over there. Oh how nice the weather was and the sand and water and SUN!!!! I love the sun as long as it doesn't get too hot and it was perfect! I can't wait to go back again sometime!!!

Brooklyn went on stage with Tiana and Andrea to

They would crash on these rocks that we were standing on....
