Baseball

Jacob played baseball for the first time this winter season.  I'm not a big baseball fan but he sure does look cute in his uniform!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from Bellows Beach!!

Kid Free

For Christmas, Brandon and I received the wonderful gift of 24 hours kid free and an ocean view room at the Marriott.  Here is our reflection on the balcony.

Matsumoto's Shave Ice

Matsumoto's is the best shave ice on the island!  I have finally documented one of our trips.

Peyton is a fan.

But not as big a fan as Brandon

Yummy

Brain freeze!

Peyton's Version of Fishing

First, place the net...

Patiently wait for the water.

...and wait

Here fishy fishy fishy

Yay!  Water!

Wow!  That's a lot of water!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Get me outta here!

Thank you Santa!

The trampoline is the best present for all of the family.  The kids love it and I love having a break!  The kids loved playing with Uncle Payton!  

The boys gang up on Uncle Payton

Going to Work with Mommy

Brandon and the kids met me at one of my photo shoots before Christmas.  We should have known that Peyton would go straight for the water.  He thinks he is so tough, but every time a wave came, he turned to run.  Jacob and Zoe had fun playing in the sand and thankfully didn't drench themselves.

Brandon Re-ups

Brandon signed a new contract with the Air Force and our friend Mike Linder swore him in.  It was a very special day.  The Air Force has been such a huge blessing for our family.  We are very grateful for the opportunities the military has given us and the friends we have made along the way.

I'm so glad some of Brandon's family was able to be here.

Christmas Morning

 I love seeing the kids faces on Christmas morning.  

I just need to wrap him in bubble wrap every time he rides this.

Footed pajamas are my favorite!

I've got a marshmallow gun and I'm not afraid to use it.

Jacob, "This is the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!"

What do you mean?  All these toys are mine?

I love dishes!

Maci likes the trampoline too.

I am one lucky woman!
