Hawaii

We were able to go to Hawaii this summer for the first time and we had so much fun. We have had this planned ever since Terel and Julie bought a time share there a couple of years ago, and finally went with them and also Alisha and Dave. We went to Kauai and it was so beautiful. We did alot of fun things. It was a much needed vacation and it was nice to get away. Thanks for the fun trip you guys!!

Hanging out by the beach and snorkeling.

This is the luau that we went to. It was a lot of fun.

We did a catamran boat ride which was a lot of fun. We saw lots of dolphins, went snorkeing, and saw the Napali Coast. It was beautiful.

These pictures are of some differnt places that we hiked to.

We hiked down to a huge swim hole that you could cliff jump from and also do a rope swing. I was a big chicken and didn't do either one. I have the biggest fear of cliff jumping. But it was pretty!!

We went ziplining one day which was a lot of fun other than the day before i had layed out and burnt the back of my legs. Can I just say OUCH!!

This was at the ferngrato. We took a boat ride to see it.

We wanted to watch the sunset go down one night so we went to this beach. It was so beautiful.

Going Private

Mylee's 1st birthday

We celebrated Mylee's birthday over the weekend and it was so much fun. We had a barbecue and went swimming. A lot of our family members were able to come so it was a lot of fun to see and hang out with everyone. Thanks to all those who came, it means a lot to have the love and support from our families. We did Mylee's birthday theme in Mickey Mouse and of course her favorite thing was the Mickey Mouse balloon that we got for her. As soon as she saw that she got so excited and just wanted to keep touching it.
Its so hard to believe that a year has already gone by since we had Mylee. Her birthday was kind of a bitter sweet for me, I guess because it made me realize that she is starting to get passed the baby stage and is now starting in the toddler stage. I have absolutely loved this passed year, she has brought so much joy to Jesse and I.

Opening presents

Mylee's Mickey Mouse cake

Here is Mylee eating her cake, she didn't know what to think at first but quickly figured it out.

Swimming

We are so excited that the weather is nice, Mylee loves to be outside so that's where we are most of the time. We decided to take Mylee swimming and this was the first time that we have put her in the swimming pool. She loved it and was so excited! She liked kicking and splashing in the water. It is so fun doing all these things with her, I can't believe how big she is getting and will soon be one. Time goes by way to fast

Mother's Day

So this year I was officially a mother on mothers day. It definitely made me reflect on how thankful I am to be a mom and how much happiness I have found in it. I know I am always expressing this, but I have found such a fulfillment in being a mom and truly love every minute of it. Its hard to even imagine what life was like before we had Mylee, what joy we have found through and with her. I feel so thankful and blessed to be her mom. Jesse was very thoughtful and made a video of me and Mylee for Mothers Day. I got home from work on Saturday night and he said do you want your Mother's day gift early,(which shocked me because he doesn't like to give gifts early) so I jumped all over that and said yes! He kept telling me Mylee is just to excited to wait she wants to give it to you tonight.(I think he was the one that was to excited to wait). So he let me watch the video, which turned out very cute. Thanks, it was very thoughtful and sweet! I love you guys so much!!
