Texas Trip

We went home to Texas at the beginning of the month. These are a few pictures from our trip.



Since it was so hot about the only thing we could do during the day was swim.


One of Chris's friends and his family came to spend a few days with us at the ranch. This picture is of Carson and Laura playing on the tractor.



Kailee got to go on her first John Deere ride, an experience everyone should have in their life.


The temperatures were very HOT!! I think it was above 100 degrees just about the whole time we were there. Kirsten's parents got a fun blow up slide for Carson to play on, I think the adults had as much fun on it as the kids did.

Grammy, Grampy, and Uncle Cameron

Welcome to Hawaii!! We didn't get a picture of Grampy in his aloha gear!





We went to the Sea Life Park on Tuesday and got to swim with dolphins! It was amazing!



Chris and his dad went deep sea fishing on Thursday and caught this ono (sounds like oh no, haha) That name cracks me up!






Then we went shallow water fishing on Friday and April got to watch Carson and Kailee! It was awesome, Tammy and I were the big winners! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!







Happy Fourth of July! We walked about 3 blocks distance from the house to Sills Field here on the base and spent the day at the fair, then watched Kansas perform, and fireworks! The kids had a blast, Carson loved the loud stuff! They did a cannon blast for each state. I was already home with Kailee by the time they started but I could hear it loud and clear from the house even with the windows closed. Chris said Carson loved it, the noise didn't scare him at all, he just kept laughing and saying "WOW"




Waikiki Beach on Sunday, we went to breakfast at the Hale Koa then hung out at the beach for a while. Chris got a good sunburn on his back!








Everyone went to the Dole Plantation today (Monday) while I was at work.




The trip was awesome, we were so happy they came! We leave for Texas in two days! YAY!

Kailee Video

Just wanted to post a video to show how big Kailee is getting. Everything is going great here! We are headed to Texas in a few weeks!!! I'll post some more pictures soon.

Trip to California

Kailee and I went to California this past weekend to visit family. We got to see Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Winchester, Great Great Grandma Winchester, Great Great Uncle Russ, Great Uncle Greg, and cousins Maryann, Mike, and Nikki! It was a short trip, but we had a great time getting to see everyone! Chris left yesterday to spend a week in Texas helping my dad cut and bail the hay feild so it's just me and the kiddos until tomorrow afternoon when my sister gets here!! We are so excited to see her! Things are going really well. Both kids are getting big so fast! It seems like Carson learns new words and spits out longer and longer sentences everyday. I will post more soon!




Carson has been learning how to make faces, he's so funny!







Kailee got to spend a lot of time with her Great Great Grandma! She even fell asleep in her lap for about an hour!

Great Grandma Lorna's Trip

Grandma Lorna came for a visit last week, and we had a blast. It is easy to forget how lucky we are to live here, but when someone comes to visit we always get to go out and see how great this island is! We had mother's day breakfast on Waikiki Beach, went to the Dole Plantation, Macadamia Nut Farm, Pearl Harbor Memorial, did the drive around the island, and I am sure I am missing something! There really is a lot to do here so we didn't even start to run out of things to do with her! Here are a few pictures from her trip.

Easter and More

Ok, so these are just a bit late, but better late than never right!!!
