Brenden's Christening was a sweet special day.

Baby boy stayed quiet and calm throughout the ceremony,

The weather was absolutely perfect,

Taco cart was delicious,

Cupcakes yummy,

Kids had a blast in the jolly jump,

and all of the special gifts were very sweet and thoughtful.

Thanks everyone from near and far 
for coming to share this special day with us.

Brenden :: 17 Months

Happy 17 month birthday my love!

+ My sweet love is getting to be such a big boy. He is so smart and independent. He wants to climb up the stairs by himself..standing, swim in the ocean alone, and walk in the street without holding hands...omg. It kills me.


+ Baby boy has so many teeth that I lost count. They just keep cutting through and he doesn't even fuss. Good thing because he loves to eat food. His favorites to date are: cuties, grapes, pasta, cheese, and crackers. Oh yeah, he loves mini marshmallows and whipped cream!

+ He loves, loves, loves the outdoors! He enjoys running around outside, picking up rocks, sticks, and dirt. It is so much fun watching him be so happy, until it's time to come in.....he throws a fit.

+Brenden loves to say hi and wave his hand. It's the cutest, he will also say bye bye in his deep raspy voice. I love his sweet cuddling, kisses on the lips and warm hugs. They make me feel so happy! But he gives his daddy more....he just loves him.

+And he is soooooo handsome.....and knows it. He gets too much attention from everyone sayng that he is the cutest baby. OOOOH I love that boy!

Aloha from Maui

We are back in Cali,

but still on island time.

It feels great to be back at home.

However, our first day back was pretty jam packed. 

Our flight got in at midnight,

Kylah had school, Ryan had work and I had a busy day with my B.C.

Maui was awesome!

Grandma Lynn treated us to this family trip

and it was wonderful.

Thank you!

The cousins loved spending time together 

and the adults had a lot of fun.

The house we stayed at was beyond gorgeous and

just perfect for all of us to have our own space. 

The kids loved that we had our own elevator!

We did a lot of relaxing...

in the beautiful pool,

the beach,

snorkeling,

walking and driving around the island,

"Local Boys" shave ice was our favorite,

shopping of course,

enjoyed a Luau,

had a yummy Easter Dinner at Tommy Bahamas,

and too much drinking and eating the entire time.

Ryan and I even made time to get a massage.

The baby loved the water sooo much, it was crazy.

He is my little golden boy with his tan.

Anyway, I have lots of pictures.

Next is Kauai in June.

Enjoy!

He slept the first 2 hours of the flight.

This is what he did the next 3 hours.

Happy Easter!

This rocky pool entrance was great for babies!

Waaaaaah! That is "I want to go in the water."

He loved the water!!!

Morning walks were amazing.

The pool waterfalls were Brenden's favorite.

Loves his Daddy!

With uncle Dan.

Kids in Lahaina.

My little Hawaiian boy knocked out.

Omg! The kids loved having our own elevator, It was definitely overused.

Walking around the mall!
