We Miss You Friends!

Last Saturday our good friends the Rules moved away.

We have shared a lot of great memories with them

and will miss them dearly. We wish them the best

and know that they will make many new friends and

touch their lives as they have touched ours.

Good luck in MO! We love you!

Happy Birthday My Friend!

Okay.  This is a test to see if my friend Jill really checks my blog as 

often as she says (even though I don't post that often!)  

So, Happy Birthday Jill!  I hope your day is full of a bunch of nothing.

No sharing time.

No dinner making.

No dishes.

No whiny kids.

No laundry.

No cleaning.

No responsibilities!

Just a nice, relaxing, enjoyable day filled with family and friends who love you!

And of course, GIFTS!  (I'm crossing my fingers for ya!  "Kris, Kris, Kris, Kris!")

Now, what time is it?  PARTY TIME!

Welcome to Paradise!

Welcome to Kauai!

Truly a Tropical Paradise.

 

 Thanks to Simplyfun (Matt's board game buisness)

and my niece, Alayna for watching the kiddos, 

Matt and I were able to go to Kauai at the end of May.

Now, we have been to Kauai before so I knew 

EXACTLY where I wanted to go first.  

Jo Jo's Shave Ice!  They have the best shave ice

EVER!  No joke.  Picture this.  First you start with

macadamia nut ice cream, then layer with shredded

coconut, then finely shaved coconut flavored ice,

and topped off with some coconut cream.  Delicious!!

If you ever go to Kauai you must stop by Jo Jo's.

You won't be sorry!

Me in Shave Ice Heaven!

After that we did things like go to a Luau...

Go see a lighthouse...

See Puff the Magic Dragon...

And beautiful waterfalls...

And colorful peacocks... 

(Doesn't that look fake? So gorgeous!)

And chickens??  Yes, LOTS of wild chickens.

And my favorite picture of all, a surfboard fence...

Oh, and of course more Jo Jo's!!

We had a blast and loved hangin' with the top

SimplyFun consultants.  If it wasn't for them we

wouldn't have got to go to Kauai.  

So THANK YOU guys!!

Keep up the awesome work!

All in all, it ROCKED!  Can't wait 'til next year!

Until then, hang loose.
