We are BACK!!!!!....

Hello...We are back! I have missed blogging...I cannot believe it has been 2 months since my last post. How time flies. It has been a busy 2 months. Our family has been very busy..and crazy!!! The kids and I left Hawaii on Dec. 10 and flew to California to stay with my brother and his family. We had tons of funs with the Lewis Family. Then we drove to Las Vegas to my mom and sister. Had tons of fun with them all in Vegas. I was reminded that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas..heehee. We spent Christmas in Vegas and loved every minute of it. Kalani flew to Vegas on 12/21. I missed him so much. I was so glad to have our family back together. We got into Star on 12/28. It snowed the night we got home. WE LOVED IT. We missed the snow so much. We are happy campers now. Here is a recap of our lives:

• left Hawaii
• landed in California
• drove to Las Vegas (Nevada)
• drove through Utah
• arrived in Idaho
• OK--that is 5 states and one ocean
• Christmas and all the preparation for the holiday
• made yummy treats
• ate too many yummy treats
• celebrated birthdays
• celebrated the New Year in Idaho
• BSU won the Fiesta Bowl--love it
• enrolled 5 kids and 1 husband into school
• changing addresses
• waiting for mail to catch up to us
• looking for a job
• still looking for a job
• loving the snow and the cold
• just trying to get back into things and loving life

This is my 15 year old girl CS. I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. She got her hair done in Vegas and it made her look so grown up.
Here are the girls at the Kona Airport waiting for our flight. The Kona Airport is kind of old fashioned--you wait outside (under a rooftop) and then literally walk out onto the tarmac and climb the stairs into the airplane. My kids thought that was pretty funny.

JAG and Monkey Boy--looking so much alike, waiting at the airport.

All the kids with the candy leis, Dr. Fogel gave them. Thanks, Doctor!

TCIG doing what he does best....at the airport.....

Well that is a real quick snapshot of our lives. I am excited to be back in Idaho. We cannot wait to get into a routine. We cannot thank everyone enough that has helped us this last year. So many thank you's, so much love to give. Thank You or what they say in Hawaii..Mahalo.
