Life in Hawaii

Well, it's been quite a few months since I last wrote on here and honestly I did consider not continuing a blog and I never really seem to have time to do it.  But here I am, and I glad that I have taken the time to sit down and do it.  So with that all being said, what have we been up to these past months.....the short of it is this....we moved to Hawaii August 2012, Matthias was called as Scoutmaster for our church and I as Primary President.  We went back to the UK to see my little brother get married to the loveliest lady alive!  They both visited us in Hawaii for their honeymoon and I was able to take some great photo's of them at Ko'Olina beach (check out my photography blog for those!)  While in England my little monster Roman turned 1 and last month Noah turned 4.  It's been very eventful and super fun being here in Hawaii.  I thought as I normally do, I would share photos of these momentous occasions....enjoy! Remember to come back again I promise I won't leave it another 10 months till I post again!!

Easter Fun

Image
We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun. Baptism photos at the Temple One last one.....for now!  She was so excited to do an Easter Egg Hunt! Isn't he handsome!  Bruises and all! :) Beautiful girl! Another handsome big, big boy!

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
