HAWAII

We had a WONDERFUL time in Hawaii with our family! It was so nice to get away, lay on the beach and spend time with family.

 We stayed on North Shore with Crystal and Fidel...they go to BYU so we were right next to the Temple. I love the Oahu Temple it is so beautiful. I love walking around the grounds. 

All of us who stayed in their little two bedroom apartment...it was interesting to say the least! But we are so grateful they put up with us taking over their house for a few weeks! 

So pretty!! 

All of these pictures are out of order...Crosby and Aida playing in the water. 

One of my favorite beaches...Sunset I love the waves, most of the beaches we went to had small waves for the kids but they actually loved this beach the best so we should have gone to the fun beaches the whole time!! Aida and Elle who is Jesse's cousin's little girl...so 2nd cousin once removed? We just said cousin!  

Aida, Amber and Fidel...the current was pretty strong but once Aida got in she kept wanting to go back! 

Fidel rolling in the waves...he is such a kid!  

Cute girls playing in the waves

Fidel jumping the waves, Crystal holding Mila and Aida and Elle waiting for the waves to hit them 

 So since I was the one taking the pictures the whole time I'm only in a few of them...I know I am huge and I already have people asking me when I'm due but I'm trying to embrace being pregnant :) So here's me being brave and showing a pic of me in all of my glory! 26 weeks here

International Market Place...2 random birds that you could hold! Aida was too scared of course!  

Secret Beach...we renamed it Mermaid Beach to get to it you walk through all these trees its where they filmed Lost and parts of the last Pirates...the mermaid part hence Mermaid Beach:) Tons of turtles, beautiful water and little waves.

Crosby eating the sand and licking his salt water hands! YUCK! 

Cloudy right when we go to take a picture!

The trees...

 Such a big girl! 

All the girls at the Temple

 Cute girl...I can't believe she will be in 1st grade soon! Its going by way too fast! 

This was the first day we got there...Jesse's cousin Shevaun lives on Base since her husband is in the Navy, this is the beach there...AMAZING water!!  

Chinaman's Hat...Tana, Amber and Aida

My favorite thing about Oahu is the amazing mountains! They are absolutely stunning!

Nana Tana helping Aida and Crosby build a sand castle

This girl is going to be the best big sister around...she loves to play with kids! Crystal and Fidel live in the school housing so there are tons of kids just running around everywhere, Aida had so much fun playing with the kids, pulling the little ones in a wagon and rolling down the hills backwards in a stroller! She made some cute friends that she was sad to say bye to!

At Turtle Bay Resort...Jesse and I stayed here once it was so nice! Crosby was whining so Fidel buried him in the sand and he loved it! He sat in there for a long time! 

Mermaid Aida

The weather was CRAZY! In the morning it was cloudy and windy then within a few minutes sunny and HoT! Aida and I at Laie Point 

Silly girl!

 Amber talked Aida into looking over the edge with her...she was terrified! 

At the PCC we wanted to go for the whole day, we got in for $5! Its all about who you know :) Aida loved going to the different villages but after the canoe show where it started out raining...it got ridiculously HOT we were about to die so we cut out early to sit at the beach.

Making a bracelet 

We went back that night for the night show...Aida loved it! She was exhausted but fought to stay awake to see it all!

Dole Plantation...LAME!! $15 to ride the train and it went up in a straight line then back down the same line!!  

Elle and Aida at the International Market Place

 Waikiki Beach

Aida and I at Temple Beach...we had such a great time...my only complaint was Jesse wasn't there! Its hard to have fun when your husband is alone at home working...yes it was his choice but still we missed him! Aida used to say Disneyland was her favorite place on Earth...except the Temple:) she would even say when she grew up she wanted to live in LA now its all changed...Hawaii is her favorite most fun place on Earth and she wants to live there when she grows up!
