Home again Home again....

Well where do I start-
It has been a long week, jam packed with a graduation/ birthday suprise party, leaving the kids with Grandma for longer than we ever have before, a vacation to Hawaii and I guess thats it.
Dave and Barb (the neighbors) suprised Zach Saturday morning with 30 balloons and a great sign on our fence for all the world to see!
We headed to Wenatchee Saturday for the BIG SUPRISE fpr Zach, I think there was a total of 30 some people there to celebrate 30 great years and Zach graduating AGAIN.










after the party we headed to Casa Tapatia for some mexican food










Then off to Seattle for a night and on to Hawaii!!!





This was from our Hotel balcany







the beach, and my favorite picture





























Love this shot, we had breakfast on the beach- all the tourists make peace signs so I thought I would get in on the action!










breakfast on the beach- sorry this one wasnt flipped









and of course we decided on our last day that to kill 7 hours while waiting for our plain ride home we would get tattoos!



























waiting in the lobby














getting off the plane







It was a great trip, we missed the girls soooo much, it was heartbraking everytime we saw the little kids running around the beach. Our hotel was amazing and if we ever go back to Oahu I would stay there again.
There was live music everynight, it was a crosswalk away from the beach and practically next door to Starbucks:)
We hiked more miles than I ever have before, we layed on the beach, we experienced new things together and made memories we wont forget.
This was a well deserved vacation and we experienced everything we could!!
Aloha, welcome back to the real world!!!

When it rains.....it pores:)

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
