Anyways.........


Eliana and I decided to take a slightly spur of the moment trip to Maui at the beginning of the month. We had such fun visiting with family and just hanging out! It was relaxation that was definitely needed! Nathan and the Z-man stayed back and held down the fort in Texas so us ladies could go on vacation! What nice guys, huh?!! So here are all the pictures of little miss Eliana posing with all the family! What a little camera hog!! :-) Love and miss you all!


P.S I would like to send a special thanks out to Hotel Waipahe Place in Kihei! Thanks for putting us up and all the complimentary games of Yatzee!! Never pass up the opportunity to score 5 on your ones!!! And to my Dad, thanks for everything! Love you guys!

Sharing is Caring!

Zachariyah is so in need of a jungle gym that he has taken to climbing all over Eliana's bouncer!! Even when she IN it!! At least Eliana does not mind sharing...she loves her big brother! :-)

I Couldn't Resist....!

Eliana's two front teeth came in recently and every now and then she'll feel for them with her tongue! She looks so cute sticking her little tongue out so I had to snap a picture!!

A Day at the Park!

We decided to make use of a nice day about a week ago and went to the park! We had never been to this park and were happy to find it was spacious with a stream and ducks! Lots of ducks!! Zachariyah had a blast running around and trying out some of the equipment! He also had fun checking out the ducks, much to the ducks dismay! Eliana slept pretty much the entire time!! But we all had fun none the less! Glad we went when we did because it's been pretty cold since then! And since Zachariyah won't wear a hat or gloves there is not much outside time when it's 25 degrees out! Brrrrr!! :-)

A Conversation With Zachariyah.....well, kind of!

I usually don't film Zachariyah all that much because he never sits still, and he's not particularly talkative. But I attempted it this morning and most of what he had to say was "No"! It was cute though, I was trying to get him to say things that I know he knows how to say and he would start to say it, and then say "No"! Goofy boy! But little Miss Eliana has a cute cameo throughout the video and Zachariyah even gives her a kiss and hug at the end!
