Brennecke's Beach

We love visiting all the different beaches around the island, and I am trying to at least get pictures at all of them. The kids have so much fun and love going. The day was cloudy and overcast and did sprinkle on us for a while but the waves at Brennecke's which can be really rough normally, weren't that day. It was very nice and great for boogie boarding. Sienna was in the water the whole time trying to catch the waves. She is getting better and better. So fun to watch!

My trip to Utah

I went to Utah in the middle of January (minus my camera!) and was able to visit so many beloved people. I remembered to steal pictures off of my mom's and friend's blogs so I can post. I have gone to a Retreat that my 1st Spanish Fork ward does for women who live or have lived in the ward boundaries for the last 5 years. I know, I'm crazy, but I couldn't miss it. It is one of the things I look forward to most in the year, like Halloween and Christmas.

We rent a huge home, make yummy food, stay up way too late, eat delicious treats and hang out. It's perfect and I love it. It is such a great opportunity to catch up with so many people in one place. I was also able to see my family and many other amazing friends. I am very humbled and grateful for all of the wonderful people that surround me with love and friendship. I truly am one of the luckiest girls alive because of them.

The whole gang at the Retreat-I love these ladies so much!

It's not easy to find here in Hawaii.

A stop home without it would be incomplete
