HAWAII


We had the best trip to Maui. We stayed in Lahaina. It was beautiful. Everyday we would find a different beach to go to and snorkel at. We were on a quest to find waves to buggy board on or to surf but couldn't really find any. I guess it is the off season. I loved this because we really got to see a lot of Hawaii.



Thank you Devin and April for inviting us to go with you. We had sucha blast!!! You have such sweet little boys. Gavin (aka my little buddy who never left my side) I miss you already, and Drew,can't wait for you and Wes to meet up and to play together soon.



Kaanapali Beach



Black Rock beach. We look good being parents of twins. BUT I'm grateful that were not.



We swam with these guys everyday.



I found this funny because everyone was just swimming around at this beach.




We loved our daily snow cone fix. We couldn't get enough of them especially with the ice cream at the bottom.




This was at our resort beach. The babies did so good and just chilled on the beach with us.



Devin and Garrett getting their snorkel on.



Garrett really didn't want to burn. :)



One night we went to a Luau. It was really cool to see. Gavin and I trying to do the hula.




April and I got these bottomless Pina Coladas. They were delicious.






Here is the BIG beach. So, we meant some locals at a taco stand one day and they told us to go see Big Beach and Little beach. These beaches were located on the other side of the Island in Wailea. So of course we went and come to find out the big beach was pretty sweet. It actually had big waves, but they broke to close to shore to really do anything with them. BUT the small beach is and "ADULT" beach. I wonder if those locals were sending us their on purpose. :)




This is where all our morning feedings took place.





Heading back home to reality.


Road To Hana

Garrett and I did this towards the end of our trip. We kept getting mixed reviews on whether to go or not to go. We decided to go because we needed a break from the sun, and Wes could actually take naps. Cars always put our little guy to sleep. So we ventured out at 6 am to start our road trip around the Island. It was amazing.






Bought some famous Banana Bread.



3 Bears Water fall


Nua'alua Bay.


Wes is so happy being in the car and getting all his sleep in.



The climax, Hana. 6th most famous beach in the US.

So after we reached Hana, most people turn around and head back. We didn't know this small detail and kept going on the loop around the Island. Can I just say not all parts of Hawaii are pretty. We entered their desert terrain and saw wild goats, pigs and drove on the worst road possible. It sucked.
Now that I have done the ENTIRE road to Hana, I definitely recommend doing it but turning around at Hana and go back the way you came. :)

Seattle Washington

About 2 weeks ago Garrett, Wes and myself left for our last vacation of the summer. We were off to Maui. We first flew into Seattle to pick up The Jolley family. We had a day to kill in Seattle so we went sight seeing.



Garrett was so nice and let Wes and I have his upgrade. I got some nasty looks at first from the other 1st class goers, but once they saw how amazing Wes was they all warmed up to us and started helping out.


Best friends in the making. Their Dads have been best friends since Kindergarten. Lets see if Drew and Wes can top that; Both 3 months old.





Seattle has flowers everywhere. These bouquets were only $5.




This place was CRAZY

*****CAUTION BLOG OVERLOAD*****
I'm putting up this warning because there are a lot of new posts. I fell a little behind in the month of July. Now that Wes is here I have so much to blog about. enjoy....



Eric & Carlee's Wedding

Garrett's Brother got married this past Sunday. So we were home about a week and hopped on a plane to head back to California. It was Wes's first time flying. He did awesome. They got married up on Pismo Beach. It was so pretty. The drive up the coast was amazing. Congrats to Eric and Carlee. We love you guys.












My little boy is so freakin cute. I love that smile.




Newport Beach

The day after the blessing all the Fuller Family left for our annual Newport Beach trip. This is a week of swimming, beaching, eating, playing, laughing, shopping, etc. we had a blast. This was the 3rd little vacation now and Garrett and I were getting much more brave. We actually would let him chill in his little tent and bumbo on the beach. We weren't so paranoid. He would be out with us up at the pool, shopping, you name it, he was right there. I think I just had to let the whole schedule thing out the door. Once I did that I had a much more enjoyable vacation. I actually got in the ocean. Garrett was so proud.












I just love my little boy so much. On our way home from Cali we stopped my our friends house in St. George. Thanks Juan and Shalee for letting us stay with you. Thanks to Juan's mom who taught us the authentic way to make enchiladas. They were delicious.
The In-Between-Time

So after San Diego and before the blessing I just hung out in California with Garrett's parents and famioly for a couple weeks. Wes did a lot of firsts during this time...



He found his little thumb


Ate at La Cocinca several times




Discovered he loves hats




Always smiles



Got into the pool, well just his little toes





Trying to make Daddy jealous by showing him a LA COCINA chip.






This picture I forgot to post in the San Diego post. Are last night we went out to Cheese Cake Factory and then went shopping.



This is the first time I flew a Kite.
