april
first night in maui.
craig at secret beach. 

we had the entire place to ourselves. it was magical.


you know what else is magical? fruity drinks in a pineapple. just ask tess. 

our favorite horse. 

more drinks near the pool. 

tess' kind of snorkeling!

tagg in paia.
we loved visiting the HUGE turtles on ho'okipa beach.
but didnt necessarily love the fresh coconuts.

we love having momo with us. 

getting some much needed sun. it was VERY rainy spring.

what is it with dads throwing their kids high up in the air? idk. but they love it. 

and tess sure does love craig. 

beach!
pool!

the boys had a constant rotation between body surfing in the ocean, catching lizards in the bushes & playing in the pool. they were loving life. 

my mom watched the kids so craig and i could go have a nice dinner out. the sunset was gorgeous. 

easter!

the easter bunny made sure huck didnt feel (too) left out back at home in seattle. i am beyond grateful to my amazing MIL and the other girls who made it possible to be baby-free in hawaii. the only way to be!

the hotel had a nice egg dying set up. 



happy easter. 

more fun at our favorite pool in the universe. 



i took craig to black sand beach for the first time this trip. he liked it. especially the crazy road to get to it. 

torch guy. duh.



PURE HAPPINESS.

we love our nightly walk to the ice cream store.


and the kids can never get enough of chasing the torch guy around. 

literally swimming with the massive turtles.




we rented the huuuuuuuge megalodon paddle board this time so we could all go together. it was very fun. 

balloon animal ariel!

craig does such a great job playing with the kids. 

and finding flowers to put in tess' hair each night. 


girls ready for dinner.


we sure do love maui. 


such a fantastic week together.

but we were happy to be back to huckymomo. and tess is the best sharer. 
huck and wilder. best cousins. 

tess' first official haircut.

she wanted to know how we could glue the hair back on her head....

walking cotton on a beautiful day. 

my absolute favorite humans. 

girls night out for amy's birthday. 

sully has had a great time playing baseball this year. hes even been called up to AAA! 

and its been quite the season of wrestling this BUSY guy at his brothers' games. im grateful for grandparents who come to help.



she wanted to be called nephi for a few days. shes one spiritual giant. :)

tucker and lauren came to visit. we had fun bbqing and going to tagg's baseball game. i love getting a picture with my brothers. 
grant's parents came into town so we allllll got together (for the first time in 25+ years) for ice cream. it was very fun catching up. 
craig threatened to get rid of the girls because they werent laying eggs anymore. a few days later..... i went and found these beauties in the coop. haHA! 


sully and johnny are the best of friends. they spend every single waking moment together. true love right here.

picking flowers from our yard.
