Family Pictures

Beautiful children!!

We had our family pictures taken a few weeks ago. Kade and Jessica's good friend Georgiana Hall took them for us. We took all of them at the farm. Believe it or not, we found some really great places for pictures. I just can't decide which one I think is best. So maybe you bloggers can help me decide. I'm really quite happy with all of them and so it makes it more difficult.

These on the truck were really fun. We waited as long as we could stand it in the cold and with kids getting tired of it all to take the picture. We were hoping to have the sun in a little better place but I still think it's pretty good.

We still have a few old barns left that Brooks and Kade are planning to take down soon.

Outstanding in our field!!!

Hawaiian Vacation

Brooks and I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii with some good friends this past week and stay with the Egberts in their wonderful home! Once again we had a great time and really enjoyed the fun and sun. Here are a few pictures that I took while we were there. I didn't take near enough.

Evan, Brooks, and Brad. I guess they had a really hard day!!

I hadn't been back to Pearl Harbor for quite a few years. We had another chance to go again. I really love this place and the history.

Quite a sobering site. These are the names of those that lost their lives during the attack.

Brooks and Brad were able to tour a submarine that was on display at Pearl Harbor.

I took this picture of the gorgeous sunset from our balcony at the house.

The turtles were out when we stopped by.

One of our favorite places to eat. The shrimp shack. There are tons of these places around, but this one was our favorite.

We snorkeled at Sharks Cove. The waves were pretty big this day.

The waves were also good sized at the house. You can barely make out Brooks head in the middle of the wave!

Our first morning in Hawaii with a walk on the beach and a beautiful sunrise!

We had a very relaxing time and it was good to get away from the cold. (we left snow) It was all over with way too soon but hopefully we can go again soon.
