April 2016

Our April consisted of soccer for Isla:

Thank goodness Drew has a friend to help pass the time at the soccer field:

We ended up going on quite a few hikes with friends:

And just by ourselves:

Mommy got a weekend away with her college girlfriends:

Drew got another haircut.  Still trying to figure out what to do with it. Poor guy has a ton of cowlicks and we can't make his hair lie flat:

Such a ham:

Isla had a sleepover with her bff, Payton. . .finally:

Making Daddy proud:

Isla found a strawberry booty (her words not mine):

And Mack did a lot of this:

Lucky dog.

March 2016

We had a very eventful March this year.  It started off with Realtor Prom for Ryan:

He was lucky to have two dates to the prom:

Next was the annual girls ski trip to McCall.  Although I didn't do any skiing (realtor prom got in the way), I did manage to tear it up on the dance floor:

These girls are awesome:

Next up was Isla's first concert at school.  It was a St. Patrick's Day theme:

Super cute!  Next it was on to my cousin Erica's wedding up in Sun Valley.  We got to take the gondola up to the roundhouse for the rehearsal dinner:

The next day was 80's ski day at Baldy:

Nailed it.  My photos of the actual wedding day were lacking, but Ryan managed to get a few:

 I kept expecting birds and squirrels to come out of the bottom of Erica's dress as we cleaned it up prior to the ceremony.

It was beyond gorgeous! I really took advantage of the photo booth at the wedding.  Some samples:

So. Much. Fun.  And a selfie with the bride to close the night out:

We ended the month celebrating Easter with Papa and GiGi:

Why is there a Halloween bucket in our Easter pictures you ask? No clue.

Maui 2016

Ryan and I have always said that once our kids reach the ages of 7 and 5 we will take them to Maui.  Can't remember exactly why these were the magic ages (I'm sure it had something to do with potty training and naps), but I'm so glad we stuck with that plan.

Getting ready to board the plane:

Poor Isla looks better than she felt in this picture.  She was under the weather for the first couple days we were there.  She didn't move from this couch:

While Isla focused on getting better we took Drew to the beach and pool.  I think he enjoyed the whole vacation thing:

Once Isla was feeling better we really started to relax:

We went on a whale watch and saw about 1900 whales - Drew was really impressed (actually he was, just typical Drew taking a picture):

These two melt my heart (well, most of the time):

While we were in Maui there was a huge swell and while it was nice for watching the surfers it wasn't so nice for the beach swimming so we spent a lot of time at the pool:

We did get in one nice beach day though:

We had a lot of BBQ's:

Of course we had to make it to Merriman's for the Mai Tai's:

Our last night we hung out at the point and watched the surfers:

The trip was officially a success and we can't wait to head back to Napili next year!
