Locks of Love

Katelyn and Lauren heard about a great non-profit organization called Locks of Love that allows you to donate your hair to make wigs for other children who have lost their own hair because of Chemotherapy or genetic disorders. Ever since they heard about this great organization they decided that they wanted to cut their hair so that they could donate it. Thank you Melani and Jackie for cutting their hair! These pictures were taken in the wind and don't give the cute cuts justice.

Mother's Day

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family, Jason and the Girls really went all out to make this day so perfect for me....


First Jason and the Girls brought me breakfast in bed, with flowers, and a cake,

Then everyone got ready for church without needing any of my help, Jason even Got Chelsey ready for me!

Then after church we took the girls on a walk on a nature trail near our house.

Thank you Jason, Katelyn, Lauren, and Chelsey for a perfect Mother's Day.

My Hard Worker

Chelsey Walking Around the House

This is how I found Chelsey after a long morning of opening cupboards and then emptying them, unfolding the just folded laundry and running around the house making messes so that could have something to clean up. She is always willing to do her part, even if it exhausts her. By the way, I wasn't kidding about her really loving this chair! She is probably really sleeping in it to guard it from anyone else sitting in it while she sleeps.

Chelsey's New Chair

Granny gave Chelsey this chair for her Birthday, and this is how she sits in it.

She loves this chair! She is also very territorial of it.

Chelsey turns 1!

The beach at our Hotel

The elusive Kauaiian rooster, Jason had to search far and wide to get this shot. He scouted for three whole seconds off the balcony of our hotel room before he was able to see this rare island rooster.
