The Big Island



We had so much fun relaxing on the beach, snorkling, and checking out waterfalls on the Big Island. I had no idea Oliver was such a water baby, he loved the ocean. We saw whales, dolphins, manta rays, turtles, and a ton of beautiful fish. We did a lot of off roading to get to a few empty local beaches that were beautiful. We had a wonderful time, and now are looking forward to Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving from my little Indians













We had a great Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family in St. George. We also got to see my sister Elisa and her family. So many cousins, an absolute Heaven for Lily.
I'm very thankful for my children and Jeremy. They make me smile constantly. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Silly Lily

   Okay so I've been telling people this story and they seem to enjoy it as much as I do, so I thought I'd better share it on the blog. Last Saturday Jeremy took Lily to get her H1N1 vaccine, and they are still hard to come by right now in Orange County, so they went to this government makeshift clinic where thousands of people were waiting in line on this field. He said it was like out of a end of the world/crazy epidemic movie, because of the chaos of that many people waiting. Anyway, Lily tells Jeremy her idea. "When I get my shot I'm going to scream really loud and then cry for pretend to scare the people behind me, and then I'll say just kidding!" She loves to joke around, but this was quite creative. Ends up they waited an hour and the line hadn't moved, so we went to another hospital on Monday and got the nasal injection. I guess she didn't think this process was worthy of a scream, although there were plenty of children crying, but she was silent.
