Hawaii Trip!

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii!!! As we wrote in the last post I won a trip so we were in Beautiful Hawaii for about 6 days! The babies did awesome while we were away! It was so hard to leave but we knew Charlie and Reese were in great hands and we couldn't pass up an opportunity for a free trip to such an amazing place! I had to pump the whole time but we were able to travel back with all the milk stored on dry ice- thanks continental airlines!! And Reese did just fine adjusting back to mommy and her milk!!
Anyway, We stayed at our first four seasons resort and it was incredible! The company had planned events and dinners that were just unbelievable. It was wonderful while we were there - truly paradise! We put a lot of thought into moving us all there..lol...but are happy to be back with the bebe's and to our home! Here are some pics...

Heading to a Luau

My aunt Susie and Jimmy! My Aunt just moved to Hawaii after reuniting with her high school sweetheart (my dad and his family lived in Hawaii when they were young and aunt Susie met up with her high school sweetheart at their reunion a few year ago- how sweet huh!) We met up with them on the way home!

Aloha!

Craig and I are in Lana'i Hawaii! I won a trip with my work,  through one of the top manufactures I sell "Kimball Office",  for a trip to Hawaii to a Four Seasons Resort! Only thing is that it had to be this week...which means if we made the decision to go we would have to leave our sweet babies (with Reese only being 7 weeks old)
It is Bitter Sweet but after lots of pumping and WONDERFUL parents who are supportive and offered to stay with Charlie and Reese, we decided to come!! It is amazing!! And although we miss our bebe's so so much it is so fun to be together and catch up on some sleep. It is BEAUTIFUL here!
Will post more when we come back! For now..ALOHA!

Fun with Cousins

We had a wonderful time while Ty, Cruz and Brooke and Jason were in visiting from CO a few weeks ago. We miss them so so much already! Ty is now 3-1/2 and Cruz is about 17 months (only 6 weeks younger then Charlie). Below are some pictures of some fun family time.

Sip and See

My sweet sister and friend Maria had a Sip and See for Lily Reese last weekend at Molly's House! It was for our local friends and family who had not met Reese yet and we had a wonderful time and a great turn out!

Thank you so much Aunt Molly and Meea!

Party Girl passed out...Poor baby, the party wore her out! She had a ball and is very blessed to have so many people who love her!!

It's Mardi Gras Time!!

 Last weekend we took Charlie to a parade near our house (with Reese and my parents too) and Charlie had a ball! He was amazed at everything and danced with the marching bands! He loved all the beads and left with lots of great catches! We hope if this weather clears up we'll catch more parades tomorrow and on Mardi Gras day!

Wow-look at all my beads, I can barely stand up straight!

He danced for like 30 minutes straight- we were cracking up!

Happy Friday!

My sister-Brooke, brother-in-law- Jason and their boys (Ty and Cruz) are in visiting from Colorado for a long weekend! We are having so much fun hanging out with all the kiddos! Charlie loves having his cousins around to play with. The other night they danced to Mardi Gras music and had us rolling laughing! Will post pics soon.
Charlie had a relapse of RSV so we are back to his treatments- poor baby! He has been getting up in the middle of the night so needless to say we are getting hardly any sleep with the 2 of them up all hours. We hope that Reese doesn't get it!!
Have a Happy and Healthy Weekend!

Hope you all have a relaxing weekend as Charlie's has started off!
