Jaxson turns the big 14!

Okay. I am going to be playing "catch up" for the next few months but here goes....Jaxson turned 14 on May 25th! I am not sure that Tim and I are ready for this phase of our lives. We had a surprise party for him at a local hotel. We rented the pool and invited boys and girls his age to come. He was really surprised. It was such a fun group of kids. We also got our friend Lindsay to take him lunch at school. She is such a cute girl and Jax has loved her for years. He thought he was pretty hot stuff. Which he is and I am not biased at all!!!

Here are some fun facts about Jaxson:

Jaxson is a great kid. I love him to death. He was such a good friend to my Grandma. Nothing made me happier than to watch the friendship between Jax and my Grandma develop. I am so proud of Jaxson and many of the choices he has made in his life. I can't imagine our family without Jaxson in it!

ALOHA!!!

Okay. So what if it has taken me a week to get to the point that I could blog our Hawaii trip. I am doing my best here!!!!

Tim and I took our kids and Kallie,a neighbor/nanny, to Hawaii for a week. It was so much fun. I have to admit it wasn't quite as relaxing as when Tim and I went by ourselves, but it was fun. We stayed in a really nice condo on the North Shore. The kids were soooo good. We just played all week.

Some highlights were:
*Horse back riding on the beach.
*Parasailing.
*Swimming with dolphins.
*Watching the kids try new things.
*Taking Kallie to help.
*Pina Coladas by the pool.
*The Cheesecake Factory.
*Going to the Temple with Tim.
*Beating Tim at darts.
*Getting an awesome tan.
*Visiting the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
*Yummy brown boys at the Polynesian Cultural Center.


It was a great vacation. I highly recommend it!!!!!!
