I think it's time to post about what an awesome time we had in Maui.

at 06/25/09 8:53AM

What we did- hiked up, down and around a volcano-Haleakala.

Walked miles and miles of the most beautiful coastline you will ever see.

Snorkeled aformentioned coastline.

Drove the road to Hana and another road that is even SCARIER!

On the scary roads we saw watefalls, black sand beach, blowholes, lava caves & tubes, fish taco stands, papaya, bananas and mango growing wild, and so much more.

Stayed in a beautiful, spacious condo at a VERY good price.

Went to a luau.

Went on a sunset dinner cruise with my Adam.

Just plain had a good time.

A few pictures:

Looking down on Haleakala.

Okeydokie. I got an ugly volcano picture up and then my computer started running a scan, therefore slowing everything down. Will post pics later!

One beautiful picture! I am REALLY glad you got to go and had such a great time!

I have had a horrendous day and I am too exhausted to get into it. But we are fine, dad is fine. No results, just major drama. I will try to talk to you tomorrow.

by backtoblack at 06/25/09 11:57PM
see you sunday july 5th!

by mullenpatch at 06/26/09 11:47PM

2am and I can't sleep.

Jet lag? maybe. Over exhaustion? maybe. Easern Standard Time? maybe. I think I saw the sun rise twice yesterday. My days are blended together. I'm a travel wimp. Next vacation, no more than 3 hrs. difference!

Are you in Hawaii now or are you home?

by jerzgirl at 06/10/09 8:30AM
Saw the sunrise twice? That must've been a strange experience.

by desi at 06/10/09 10:03AM
glad you guys are home. don't forget to post pics!

by mullenpatch at 06/10/09 4:11PM
i didn't have a window seat, so i didn't have the two-sunrise experience.

by miss_lester at 06/10/09 5:53PM
How long of a flight was it? You will have to post soon all about your trip and put pics up!!!

by tandielq at 06/10/09 10:59PM
Can't wait to see pictures!!!

by joes_wife at 06/12/09 8:57AM

I don't think that three and a half months of not posting is that bad!

at 05/18/09 5:32PM

I'll post anyway.

Things from the past few weeks- graduation and trips.
Things going on in the next few weeks- graduation and trips.

That's it in a nutshell, but to be more specific I will say that these two

graduated from FC on April 30. Congrats kids! I have two cousins who also graduated so a bunch of extended family and a few friends gathered at our home afterward for a partay!

Sabrina then raced up to Indiana to visit a wonderul friend. Last weekend Jesse went to Seattle for the wedding of a great guy. Now he and Adam are in Yellowstone. They waved to me at Old Faitful hile I watched it from my computer. They're having a great time!

On May 10, these cool kids from church were honored with a graduation party

On May 29, this one will graduate High school

He looks more like the guy on the left now.

Yes- they do grow fast. What now? We're going to Hawaii! Anyone sick of me saying that? Now, I just hope we can get a flight!

Enjoy Hawaii for me! That was my first pick for our 15 yr anniv trip. But Jeff didn't want to go. So, we are going to Seattle - which will be lots of fun, I am sure! Wow, Sabrina graduated!!

by tandielq at 05/18/09 9:32PM
Well, you KNOW I am glad for you guys! You have a great memorable summer comung up!

by backtoblack at 05/18/09 10:30PM
Happy graduation year for your family. What a busy month of graduation. Very fun!

by crazy_mama at 05/19/09 12:44AM
have a great time. they do grow so fast.

by mullenpatch at 05/19/09 10:01AM
I've taken longer to put up a new post than you have. Congratulations on all of the graduations! Have a great time in Hawaii!

by tanja at 05/19/09 2:35PM
Great photos! Sorry we didn't make it to the graduation party. We were coming back from Miami (Sean's graduation) and had a little car trouble. We were hoping to show up there...

by joes_wife at 05/20/09 12:02PM
;-) Well, he definitely wants to tour the Boeing plant (you know those A&P mechanics...) and sea kayaking around the San Juan Islands. Not sure what else... had thought of going to St. Helens.

by tandielq at 05/26/09 11:10PM
aww, great pics!!! Too bad Sabrina couldn't stay with me here longer...

I think we'll survive. :) We actually have some left over chicken soup in the fridge and whenever we feel like eating (which isn't often with this sickness), we can get some of that. But I'm mostly better now, so I think I'll be able to do some more cooking and what-not now. Thanks for asking though..

You noticed that huh? I'm not really all that into Hispanic men, it's just Kinda a staple. I'd prefer names like, Jack, or Johnny, or say Edward. but you don't picture guys with names like that dwelling on a deserted island as cabana boys or something do you?

by backtoblack at 02/27/09 11:19AM
i saw your comment on her blog...did you buy girl scout cookies? If so, where can i get some?

by create_a_way at 02/27/09 3:19PM

by miss_lester at 03/02/09 5:41PM
LOL! yeah, i would like to ask her.... except i wouldn't want to deal with her trying to start an argument!

by miss_lester at 03/04/09 5:36PM
It was fun! (except the immoral parts) I think we were the only family (besides our band-mates) who wasn't drinking or smoking!

by verny_mack at 03/14/09 9:55PM
Yes, hunting keys can be an adventure, if you have no other choice.

by backtoblack at 03/14/09 10:15PM
I wondered if it could be from allergy stuff.
I kinda like "Williwam." Hahaha.
No, but it's Barry and Melanie and their family from NC. And yes, "William and the Hancocks" does sound like a band name! :)

by verny_mack at 03/19/09 10:05AM
the hillsborough job fair is on june 10th.

by miss_lester at 03/29/09 1:46PM
Wow, that's crazy.
I knew there was one near 41 & 54, maybe that was it.
There were more than 20 homes in Wesley Chapel that were damaged by a tornado. It was really intense. The tornado even flipped over a parked SUV.

by verny_mack at 04/15/09 1:05PM

You are worse than me about postineg! I knew there was a reason we get along so well! Hey, when you go to Hawaii, please tell me you are going to Pearl Harbour. I want PICTURES, and documentations!!!

I am the proud parent of 3 adults.

at 01/08/09 9:01AM

Yes, my youngest turns 18 today. Although strange to say it, I don't consider him to be all grown up. They all will always be my babies. There are still so many turns and twists in the road and I'm looking forward to seeing what they are and where they lead. Alex has always been the clown of the family. Not just a clown, but I think "Mr. Personality" fits. Although you might need to know him well to see it this way. Even when he was only a couple of days old my mom said, "this one is going to charm his way through life". That has definitely been a true statement!

You have wonderful children. You have a great family.

by tanja at 01/08/09 11:05AM
18! It seems just yesterday he was 10! Time flies when you have children!

by mullenpatch at 01/08/09 11:15AM
NEVER!! MUWAHAHA!!!!

by miss_lester at 01/08/09 4:17PM
THE MOTOR IS MINE! ALL MINE!! :-p

by miss_lester at 01/08/09 4:17PM
i like the florida picture you put on my blog :)

by miss_lester at 01/08/09 4:18PM
Happy Birthday to Alex! What a proud Momma! You have a wonderful family!

by joes_wife at 01/09/09 3:11PM
Happy birthday to Alex!

by jerzgirl at 01/10/09 10:38AM
Thank you! I love taking pictures at the beach, though, that could just be "I love taking pictures, period." I've thought about being a photographer. Maybe I'll just be a mix of make-up artist / hair-stylist / photographer. :)

You're right - I was going to babysit for a family, but they ended up making other plans with another babysitter. Too bad. But I had fun. :) I would have gone anyways, even if I didn't have anyone to babysit. This was the VERY FIRST conference I've been to in FOUR years where no one has needed me to babysit! It was weird. :)

by verny_mack at 01/12/09 5:47PM
Oh, and no. We all went to the conference, minus Spencer.
My cousin (Jason) got married in Texas.
