Girls day with my sissy!

Today was a sisters day. Lisa and I had an appointment at the bank, then we went to lunch at Willow Creek Grill in Eagle, then we headed for Lisa's Cut and Color. I was lucky enough to get a pedi while she was getting primped :)

Before...






After... love the new color and the cut! 
Super cute sissy!
Thanks for a great day!

Awesome new sledding spot!


Tristan has been all about playing in the snow since we got back from the islands. Snowmen, snowball fights and today... sledding. After the recent accident at Simplot hill I did not want to go by a large group of people. I was trying to think about where we could go so after church we drove by our new park and it was perfect! There was a few families but not too terrible. Tex was in charge of pictures, I was hanging at the bottom of the hill and TJ was on the sled. 






First trip down the tree Tristan nailed the tree, and I mean nailed it! OMG it was so funny!


Garrett showed up to join in the fun!


Of coarse I had to get in on it! It was a blast!


Tree number 2...
I'm good!


Love these shadow shots of the boys!



And yes, we topped it off with some hot chocolate!

Cheers to another fabulous day!

Last day in paradise




It was amazing to stay down on the water and see the sun rise over the mountain.

 

I love this picture of the boys out enjoying the surf. I caught it after we enjoyed a nice breakfast at Bongo Ben's.




What a way to wrap up a fabulous trip.

Let's Fiesta in Paradise


This is a view of our hotel from across the street. We were in the building on the left. I began this day with a fabulous seaweed and honey scrub followed by a fabulous massage at the hotel spa. A little me time : )


 

Tex walked out to the pier to snap a few shots of his favorite Banion tree and the sunset.




Kick off 3:30... 2013 Fiesta Bowl Kansas State vs Oregon. Let's go K - State!

 

 

TJ got his own umbrella!


So did I : )


Tex has arrived! 
Fruity beverage #2.
Oh my!




Needless to say, I had a bit of a buzz going on, so much so I decided to go for a late swim.
The water was surprisingly pleasant.

Fun with my Ohana


Each morning we awoke to the chant of the canoe's heading out to sea. The view was amazing!



For lunch today, Tex chose Bubba Gump's. Not something I would normally pick but lunch was amazing! Tristan loved his boat that his lunch came in. I loved spending time with my family, sipping my fruity beverage while watching the waves roll in!











And it is back to the beach!


Considering we have been going to Shave Ice every day, I thought we should get a few photo's of it.
For years this has been my favorite shave ice stand. Now I am fortunate enough to share it with my little man!


 






 Everyday, on our way back to the hotel, TJ loved to walk the wall along the pier.



We capped this night off with a dinner at The Kona Inn, one of our favorite family restaurants. I have so many memories here over the past 25 years! Now I have new memories with my family!


TJ was so tired he could not even make it through dinner.


Tex and I got dinner and shared it, I got ono, and he got Mahi Mahi.




Another fabulous day in paradise!

King Kamehameha Hotel


     Today we checked into the King Kam because Auntie Pattie had guests and Dad and Sue had guests coming in as well. What a different experience this has offered us. We were originally planning on going up to the volcano but since our daily routine is going to the beach, then to shave ice we decided to get a room right down town. What a spectacular idea. This choice allowed Tex some time to relax and allowed Tristan and I to come and go as we pleased.
