KAUAI

Last week Neal and I went to Kauai!We went on a helicopter tour of the island- it was amazing!Some of the view from our helicopter:We went to a luau. Here they are about to get out the pig!This was Neal's favorite: Macadamia nut icecream snowcones- yum!! A lighthouse that we visited:There was a LOT of brown runoff from a big tropical storm that hit before we were there.

Here is the chocolate waterfall,and the chocolate river! Some beautiful flowers that we saw:

It was a beautiful, fun trip!

Summer Fun!

The Sterlings came up a couple of weeks ago and we had fun playing outside!Savanna and Libby =)And they're outta here!
They loved the slide, too. Matt and Kip got really good at the slip n slide!

Happy New Year!!!

We had fun bringing in the new year with Cindy and David and two of their kids- Anna and Jonathan, and Krissy and Brooks and their kids! (Matt and Christopher were at a friend's party.)

Counting down....

Savanna and Jonathan went to sleep before midnight, but our celebrating woke poor Jonathan up! =(The rest of us all managed to stay awake to party! Here are a couple of pictures of the before party, so Savanna could celebrate, too.

And a little video of Savanna-- she loved the new year toys! (And notice the baby piggytails...)

Happy New Year everyone!

Mom's new year's resolution is to learn how to blog! =)

Happy Halloween!

Matt had a blast on halloween. He dressed up as a Sky View athlete from the 70's, (wearing Neal's letterman jacket,) and went to lots of parties with his friends.

Here he is with his friend Nelson:

Austin and Savanna came trick-or-treating, aka Kung Fu Man and Princess. =)

Fondue Fun!

Last night we had a fondue party! It was really fun. We made Grandma Dewey's famous hot fudge and also had caramel to dip in, with lots of yummy fruit and cake...

Yum!

Baby fondue! =) Just kidding, I didn't really do it.

Hey! Brooks - no double dipping!

Thanks for such a fun night!
