Aloha!

Our resort from the boat ride.
Whales! There were two of them. We were lucky to see them because they often leave for Alaska in April, but these two were hanging around!

Down by the beach on our resort.



Dolphins swimming beside our boat. I thought this was pretty COOL!



I have to say this is a beautiful place! I wish the kids were here to enjoy it too! The weather has been wonderful and the meals amazing! The people organizing this trip really outdid themselves!

The property here is also Beautiful! Tomorrow the group is going into a town and doing a little shopping and then in the evening it is the awards night and fancy dinner. Then most people fly out late on Sunday. But we don't leave until Wednesday which is really sooooooo nice for us. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for making all this possible!!!

Sarah is ONE??!


I consider myself to be very blessed! Blessed with such a great family. Part of this family is a little girl who came into our lives quickly April 17th 2008. Sarah Lynn Presley was born and weighed 6 lbs 15 oz. She was so cute a little!! A beautiful addition to our family.
Happy Birthday my Sweetie! I miss you lots!
I will post more when I return from Maui about all the wonderful things you are doing now! And of course a new picture to show how much you have grown!
Update coming soon!

Niagara Falls!

Visiting Niagara Falls with Grandma and Grandpa!





Grandma and Grandpa!




The boys












Sarah!








We had a great day to visit the falls. Such a beautiful place. Then we walked around. We saw a casino...it was my first time having a look inside. I couldn't believe how huge it was or the fact they asked me if I was old enough to go IN??? I think they were being funny. It did make me laugh, and for those Salvationists reading this....no worries I only looked and did not play!

Hmmmm...could I do that?

Okay already!

I have been looking at all the amazing cupcakes and birthday cakes my friends all make for their kids. It is inspiring but also FRUSTRATING me!:) I have been inspired enough to make some cupcakes for a little girl's first birthday party, but I have no ideas at the moment. Nothing, notta, zero! I think I may make a trip to Michaels and see about a book for some ideas. It has to bee girly, cute and something I can actually make. So if you have any ideas send them my way.

All the cupcakes and birthday cakes I have seen lately, VERY CREATIVE! I love seeing what Mom's are making for their kids.

I hope I can be as creative! Wish me luck!
