I got to see half of my haole posse from my old BYU-Hawaii days! It was soooo nice to be reunited with Jackie, who I hadn't seen in 13 years! I met her family for the first time. Becky & I hadn't seen each other in 3 years, before she had her two little boys!! We had a delicious BBQ and swim at Becky's house while the kids played. It was so nice to catch up on old times and quote "Tommy Boy" lines. They truly are my "naughty pets" and I miss them already!!
We did 2 days at Disneyland and it was AMAZING! I love that magical place. The kids had a blast as did Tony & I. Abby's favorite ride was Winnie the Pooh. Preston's favorite was the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain. The only one he did not like was Space Mountain. We did the Tiki Room three times with the kids belting out the words so loud we were hysterical! We love the Tiki Room!
We visited Tony's family in Westminster. His great- grandmother is in her 9os and completely adorable. We also visited with his grandparents who just left Arizona as serving as Mission Presidents for 3 years!
Preston ordered caterpillars in the mail this year and watched them grow big and fat. Then they turned into chrysalis' and the waiting game began. Over a week later...butterflies! We released butterflies a few days later and this new idea has become a family tradition I believe. So fun!
Preston went on a fishing trip with Papa Tim recently to Spaulding Pond. He had a great time and is a real fish killer!
We visited Arizona in May and enjoyed our visit until we all caught...the flu!!! Hopefully not the swine flu, but you never know. We did have a great time with the cousins and family until the very end though. Nice and toasty!
Our precious little darling is quickly turning into a fiery burst of energy. She has a very bad habit of putting anything choking-hazard size directly into her mouth. She recently threw one of her favorite shoes into the toilet for some entertainment. She has been demanding to wear big brothers clothes for a few weeks now. She really topped herself this last week when she demanded to put on his underwear...instantly transforming herself into SuperNaughtyGirl. By the way, she is available to rent for any of you who think how nice it would be to have a sweet little girl in your home! We're starting to think we were deceived by all of our friends who supposedly have "sweet" girls. Mommy and daddy don't get through one hour of our day without saying "No hitting" to her...unless she's unconscious. Even then, you have to be careful. She recently took her binkie out of her mouth and whacked mommy in the face with it within 5 seconds of waking up.
