PAUSE

As I was trying to catch up on blogging our computer (that has all my pictures) has CRASHED. Yes, you heard me right. I took it to the apple store and the "Genius" told me that for $217.oo I could get a brand new hard drive. Now, if I want to TRY to get the information that was on the hard drive I could call some company and hopefully they could perform a "miracle". Really???? This just confirms what I already knew. I HATE COMPUTERS!!!! Every time I touch them they break. Heck, I don't really even need to touch them. Just one look and I am able to kill them. We haven't decided what to do about it just yet. So, for now no more pictures.

Maui

Marcus

We went to Maui. Had the BEST time ever. Loved it and cant wait to go back!!!!! But for now we will enjoy our memories of it. We took tons of pictures (some are lost somewhere in the computer and we might never get them back). There are too many to share, but here are a few of them. Enjoy :)

We love, love, love Maui.

This was my favorite trip to Maui. I'm not sure if it's because it's the most recent... But I am definitely ready to go back anytime.

My three loves

Dad & Mom

Special Dinner

Nathan, Carrie, Dad, Mom, Aaron

So good!!!

At the end of dinner they brought us cotton candy. Does it get any better then that?

Enjoying our last night in Maui.

Have I mentioned how much I love this man? I am so blessed to have him.

Nathan does property management for a very nice family and for part of his Christmas bonus, they told him to take us all out to a very special dinner. It was definitely the best dinner I've ever had!!! The best part about it for me was watching everyone eat. You could see them enjoying every single bite. It was such a memorable night. Nathan, Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. It totally made our vacation.

I love Maui

Christopher

Christopher and the "Oh So Special Monk Seal".

Marcus and the Seal

Hailey loves the water but HATES the sand. So when in Maui, What else are you going to do but let her sit in a bucket of water.

Fall Assembly & Hailey

Miss. Duke's 2 & 3 grade class.

Hailey wanted to put on Christopher's martial arts uniform. Master Lee would be proud.

Christopher's class did really well at the assembly. I was very impressed with the entire school!!

Trick or Treat

Marcus, Alayna, Uncle Greg, Christopher

Daddy getting kisses from Hailey. She's such a Daddy's Girl.

We spent a few hours getting WAY TOO MUCH candy.

Halloween Party at the Rec. Center

Hailey's first sucker. She enjoyed it but made a big mess!!

The kids and I enjoyed an evening playing at the Recreation Center. They played in the gym, did arts and crafts, made dirt pudding, and went swimming.

WE WON

Marucs was pretty excited that we actually won something out of a cereal box. It was a $5.00 gift card. Yes, I know only five dollars. But it's better then nothing right.

OMSI

Children's Museum

Hailey, Christopher, Paul, Marcus

Christopher had a day off of school so we went to the Children's Museum. Paul (Christopher's friend) came with us. They played and played. I wasn't sure if I could ever get them to leave. It was a lot of fun!!!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

We went to the pumpkin patch with Christopher's school. Marcus and Hailey thought it was great. We had good weather and I think all the kids had a good time. Note to self... Don't take young kids in the corn maze (not too much fun).

Portland Marathon

Here they come...

They did it!!!

Matthew and Lea came down to run in the Marathon. They did AWESOME!!!! We enjoyed having them here for the weekend. Good job guys.

What's not to love about her

Hailey, Thank you for all the joy you bring to our lives!!

Pump it up party

Christopher had his friends party at pump it up in Wilsonville. The kids had a great time playing and eating pizza and cake. It was a little crazy at times, but totally worth it. Happy birthday Christopher.
