Vacation in Hawaii!!

We have to wake up the girls at 3:00am to get to the airport for our 16 hour trip to Kauai and they both are happy and excited to be going! We are so lucky to have easy-going girls...they are good travelers! Here Alexandra watches a Dora video before taking a nap on the plane.
Elizabeth turns 5 months old the day we fly to Hawaii! She is rolling all around now and grabbing things really well...she especially likes to grab Ali's hair!
Our first night at the Marriott in Kauai...THANK YOU Grandma and Grandpa for bringing us here and sharing your timeshare condo...we are SO lucky! What a beautiful place!!

We are so lucky to have a condo to cook all of our meals in...(thanks Grandma!)...but one night we get dressed up and go out for a nice dinner! Here is the whole family minus my step-sister Erin & her husband Tony who are expecting the birth of their little girl in a few weeks!
We got one where we are all smiling! Amazing!! :)
Grandpa and Grandma enjoy lots of time with their granddaughters!!
This is our view from our balcony...what a gorgeous place to relax!

Then we take a trip to Waimea Canyon...SO beautiful!!
Here we are at Spouting Horn where the water comes through the lava rock and makes whistling noises.

Aaron and Mandie's Wedding

On our way back home from Hawaii, we stopped in Denver for a wedding! Chris' high school friend, Aaron, married his beautiful Mandie at Red Rocks in Colorado and Chris was honored to be a part of the wedding party. We are so lucky to have been able to attend this beautiful event! They are the cutest couple and it was so fun to see them married!

Oma and Opa look so nice too! It was so nice to have them there with us! They took the girls home early and let us dance a while longer!! Thank you Oma and Opa!

Happy 4th of July!

We drove over to a neighboring festival...Alexandra got a taste of small town fairs with a snow cone and some kiddie rides! She told us, "I love this festival!"
