MARCH update

Holy Hanna.... I am finally updating!! I've been putting together pictures while the kids have played outside, so I can actually update on what has been going on in our lives!!

Starting with MARCH::
I went to Hawaii all.by.myself.!!! No kids this trip, because I was going out to help clean and pack so that the Sears family could move back home to Utah!! So excited to have them back! It was a quick trip (one week) and it was a lot of hard work, but we had fun while we were at it, and the good news is that they are in Utah again!

(( While the kids slept in the car, me and meg would eat the good chocolates and drink our soso [soda] without them knowing---it was our quiet time...^))

Megan and Andy's Hawaiian ward was so amazing. It is so nice to go to church out there. They make you feel so welcome and like you are family... well, they really were family to Meg, Andy and the kids. Since they were so far from home, they became their Hawaiian Ohana :) It was so sad to go to their ward the week they moved home and hear them sing Aloha Oy! (The Hawaiian farewell song!) I cried through the entire song and I wasn't even the one moving!! They got some amazing lei's as well.

We finally met Jack!! Jack is Ryan's little boy who lives in St. Louis. He gets to come out and spend his Spring Break with Ryan, so we were able to meet him before the summer! He comes out for summers and for the Holidays as well. Jack and the kids got along great right from the beginning. He's a very smart kid and we are excited to be able to get to know him and have him in the family! We did lots of fun things while he was here...mini golf, bowling, movie night and dinner out at Los Hermanos. It was fun to see Ryan in full daddy mode, too ;)

Jack's birthday is in April, so we celebrated while he was here in March. He got a new bike!
