Angie and I went back to where we served our Missions in North Carolina in December of 2011. A wonderful Sister that my trainer and I found over 9 years ago was sealed in the temple. It was an amazing experience. This is in front of the Raleigh, North Carolina Temple.

The hike (walk) to the G

2011-11-22T22:33:00.001-07:00

This picture gives a whole new meaning to King George. If you look close you can see scratches on my neck it was George's way of telling me to pick up the pace. I love the drool coming out because he was snacking on fruit snacks.

2011-11-22T22:31:00.001-07:00

Mom and George at the "G".

2011-11-22T22:31:00.000-07:00

The crew made it to the G. How come I am the only one with sweat rings?

2011-11-22T22:30:00.000-07:00

Awesome shot of Angie and Charles.

2011-11-22T22:29:00.000-07:00

Angie tore up the mountain thanks to 20 second fitness!

HIking the G.

2011-11-22T22:28:00.000-07:00

Charles thought it was awesome that the grass was as tall as him! I have the coolest nephew ever.

HOT Moma!

He only gets cuter...

Plane ride

On our way to Hawaii

Oahu

2011-03-18T23:49:00.002-07:00

First morning at mom's.

The Church.

Chinaman's Hat behind us.

Hunauma Bay on Oahu

Laie Temple

2011-03-18T23:34:00.001-07:00

George did not like how the grass felt. He curled his toes as much as he could.

Elmo in Waikiki

2011-03-18T23:22:00.002-07:00

Oh my gosh! We had just bought this Elmo shirt for George just seconds earlier... Lo and Behold we come across the real deal. He was sooooo excited!

You can't see but there was a huge crowd behind Mckay watching us.

George wouldn't let go of Elmo's hand.

He started crying and screaming. I think he would have gone home with him.

Grand Hyatt Resort

2011-03-18T23:17:00.000-07:00

The hotel

2011-03-18T23:13:00.001-07:00

This is the weirdest thing. It's fruit.

You just eat the rubbery, clear thing in the middle. Tastes kind of like a plum.

Had to do the slide.

2011-03-18T22:59:00.000-07:00

The hotel had a ton of parrots and fish all over, and this black swan was at the front of the hotel and the white one where we sat for breakfast.

Kipu Falls

2011-03-18T22:49:00.001-07:00

You can't tell but there is a trail in all this grass. That white thing in the middle is McKay. It was raining and the mud was so slick. A fun adventure.

McKay jumping.

I meant to post this before the previous one.

Climbing out of the water was the hardest part. It was like a 95 degree angle and pretty high up. McKay is so strong!

2011-03-18T22:40:00.000-07:00

McKay on the rope swing.

Sights in Kauai

2011-03-18T22:28:00.003-07:00

We found this secluded beach after church. We just kept driving on this clay road for 10 minutes and this is where is ended. So pretty.

McKay kept asking the waitress for more and more rolls.

They had this hula pie that was to die for. Ice cream, chocolate syrup, whip cream and macadamia nunts. What more could you ask for.

This is Poipu beach. It's crazy, you'll be laying out and all of a sudden a crowd gathers around something along the shore...it's a seal. They are hilarious. They get onto the sand just right next to you. As they're laying there, if the water hits their feet, they wiggle up so they don't get wet. It is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I wish I got a picture but didn't. I saw 3. So funny!

2011-03-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

Our drive up the Waimea Canyon.

Mckay and his buff friend, Dustin.

2011-03-18T10:31:00.000-07:00

2011-03-18T10:29:00.002-07:00

The chickens are EVERYWHERE!

Whale Watching

2011-03-18T10:26:00.000-07:00

So pretty!

2011-03-18T10:23:00.001-07:00

Had to do the Titanic thing.

2011-03-18T10:18:00.001-07:00

That is the tail.

You can't tell, but there are 3 humpback whales

2011-03-18T10:09:00.000-07:00

As we were headed back to the docks 4 dolphins popped up out of nowhere. They stayed in front of the boat for a little over 5 minutes. So cool!

Happy 1st Birthday George

2011-02-18T21:33:00.007-07:00

Happy Birthday little buddy! We love you so much. In one short year you have brought more joy to us then we ever could have imagined. Thanks for being the best baby boy parents could ask for...

Sesame Street

2011-01-31T21:29:00.000-07:00

George's favorite show is Sesame Street... Angie occasionally has the wiggles on and frankly those dudes give me the creeps, I don't want my son growing up thinking that is what normal men are like. If any of you have watched an episode I think you would agree no four men should have that much fun singing and dancing together. Therefore I will continue to push Sesame Street for my son's sake.

This is one of my favorite pictures if you look close you can see his bottle next to him. Sesame Street and a bottle what more could an 11 month old need?

P.S. I have elmo's world stuck in my head at least 9 out of 24 hours everyday.

Crayon Anyone?

George and Grandpa George!

We love little "G"

George gazing out the front window.

2011-01-10T23:01:00.000-07:00

I ran in the other room to switch the laundry. When I came back...well, see for yourself. He crawled in backwards.

Wrigley loves the space heater.

Love this little guy!

Done with pictures

2011-01-10T22:57:00.000-07:00

I love that you can see his mouth on the other side.

uh oh! where did it go?

2011-01-10T22:56:00.000-07:00

Yes that's me. My bangs look a lot better than they did in 7th grade. Still so weird.

McKay was cleaning his closet and decided to see how many cubs things he actually had. Shirts, hats, ties, flag, blanket, backpack, shorts, jackets, jerseys...If this doesn't say how much of a fan he is, I don't know what does!

Boy somebody's still sleepy. I don't think he gets what Christmas morning means yet.

There, now he's waking up more.

2011-01-10T22:55:00.000-07:00

That's one way to open your presents.

yum, yum, yum

Jory, Cassie, Mindy and McKay on Christmas. (Jamie we miss you!)

Annabelle, Charlie, Simon, Benson, Thomas, a squirmy George, (thanks Tom) Beth, Henry and Maxwell on Christmas Eve in their Christmas Pj's.

George loved his toys.

2011-01-10T22:54:00.001-07:00

George loved the wrapping paper.

Love the chubbs!

George loved Santa.

2011-01-10T22:50:00.002-07:00

Cousin Dylan, Maddy, Aunt Kristy, Emma & G at Aunt Sue's eagerly awaiting Santa's arrival.

George chillin' cousin Maddy at Aunt Sue's house.

The Young Women did a tea party activity. So we all dressed up. Notice the hat. I spent 20 minutes on it. It's a cowgirl hat and I just wrapped a ton of toule around it. (thanks Gaye)

Halloween

2010-11-06T22:38:00.000-07:00

Great job McKay!

2010-11-06T22:35:00.001-07:00

George borrowed this great hair piece from Uncle Beetle.

2010-11-06T22:34:00.001-07:00

George sporting a Winnie the Pooh hat. He was not liking it at all.

2010-11-06T22:30:00.001-07:00

George kills me in this picture. He hates that hat.

2010-11-06T22:28:00.002-07:00

Man...he looks like a little boy in this picture. I'm trying to freeze time, has anyone figured it out yet?!? I love that Wrigley is looking at him from behind with jealous rage. She's moved down the totem pole.

2010-11-06T22:26:00.001-07:00

George was really trying to eat me. I think he was very disappointed.

2010-11-06T22:24:00.001-07:00

Angie's sister, Kristy, was the biggest loser. She has probably 6 blankets stuffed in there... (and 2 balloons).

2010-11-06T22:21:00.002-07:00

$28 and 13 hours later...I'm never making another costume. McKay can be The Man in the Yellow Hat every year from now on :)

2010-11-06T22:19:00.000-07:00

Curious George hanging out before trunk-or-treat.

2010-11-06T22:06:00.001-07:00

McKay as, "the man in the yellow hat". Angie as a banana. And George as himself....curious.

2010-11-03T20:55:00.003-07:00

This is a lady that visit teaches me. This was the best costume of the night.

Can you guess who this is supposed to be?

Hint: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang......

Answer: the kid snatcher

2010-11-03T20:54:00.002-07:00

George wanted a closer look of the nose. If you look closely, you can see him staring at it.

2010-11-03T20:52:00.002-07:00

George is way too into the nose to be afraid.

2010-11-03T20:50:00.000-07:00

George and cute cousin Maddy.

2010-11-03T20:48:00.001-07:00

Emma and Madelyn with George. But George and Maddy are too much into the hay to say cheese.

2010-11-03T20:46:00.001-07:00

Still into the hay.

2010-11-03T20:44:00.001-07:00

George's first experience with hay. It kept him entertained for a good 10 minutes. We could have been there all day.

Fishing at Steinaker Reservoir

2010-10-18T21:21:00.002-07:00

McKay, Ryan and Thomas stayed late to see if they could catch more fish.

2010-10-18T21:18:00.000-07:00

Mom and George taking pictures of each other while dad was fishing.

2010-10-18T21:16:00.000-07:00

Not a lot happening. But the view sure is pretty.

2010-10-18T21:13:00.000-07:00

McKay ended up catching 2 fish this day and 2 the next morning.

2010-10-18T21:11:00.000-07:00

The water was pretty cold.

2010-10-18T14:00:00.000-07:00

Maxwell is my favorite in this picture.

2010-10-18T13:59:00.000-07:00

There is part of a back bone or something.

2010-10-18T13:57:00.000-07:00

The babies were having the most fun.

2010-10-18T13:54:00.001-07:00

This was so much fun... can you tell?!?

2010-10-18T13:51:00.002-07:00

Hey, that's my maiden name!

2010-10-18T13:50:00.000-07:00

2010-10-18T13:48:00.000-07:00

Making the walk to see some bones.

2010-10-18T13:45:00.000-07:00

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. (right Cassie?)

2010-10-18T13:41:00.002-07:00

Awaiting our bus ride to the quarry to see some dinosaur bones. This long neck held very still so we could get a good picture to have proof that they existed.

2010-10-18T13:39:00.001-07:00

Beautiful Vernal Temple. (1997)
