Welcome To Paradise!

Since we didn't get to Hawaii this summer we decided to go the first week of November! This is Ben's only week of vacation time he gets for the year so we decided we all needed a vacation!This year we were joined by my niece Sierra! After hours of traveling from California, Utah and Minnesota, we were all united at our favorite place The Grand Wailea! We enjoyed a wonderful 10 days of relaxation, amazing weather, gourmet dinners, and wonderful company! I am so glad we were all able to spend this time together as a family and what better place to do it then Maui!! With 4 cameras you can imagine the amount of pictures we had!! Believe it or not these are just a few! 

Hello Hawaii! 

 diva! 

Happy Halloween!! 

she LOVED the water!! 

Spa Day!

Zip Lining adventure! Scott and I stayed with Felicity at the hotel, so all the kids could go! 

 Another fabulous dinner! 

the star of the trip! 

Logan House!

Since all of our girls have gone up to Utah State for school, we finally decided to buy a place! This year Vanessa and Stephanie are living together so we figured this would save us some money in the long run! And I'll be honest I am sick of moving my girls every year! This way when they come home all they have to do is pack a suitcase and everything else can stay there! We got this darling townhouse right by the Logan River golf course! The girls are so excited to decorate their place! The upstairs is finished but the downstairs is still a work in progress! But here are a few pictures!

Happy Birthday Nessa!

Today Vanessa turned 19! We opened presents and I made her favorite pasta salad for dinner. Then of course for dessert we had her favorite thing in the world; a ice cream cake from Baskin Robins with white cake, white frosting, and cookies and cream ice cream. This is the one request she makes EVERY year. I think for a matter of fact I know if this was all she got she would be thrilled! She is definitely my sugaraholic! Vanessa is such a blessing in all our lives and we love her SO much!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Minnesota!

Right after the family reunion was over Alex and Felicity were headed in Minnesota. Vanessa was picked to go with them to help Alex fly and get the house settled. Then a week later Madeline and I flew out to join them. Then about 4 days later Scott and Stephanie came out. It was nice to have everyone together and to get to see Ben and their new house. We had a fun time putting the house together and exploring their new town! As you are about to witness this is what we spent 99% of our time doing... can you blame us?
