Coming Up...

...General Conference.
...Because of General Conference we get to see so many family members. Ryan's parents are coming all the way from Illinois (really just to see Gavin, but we like to think it is for us too). Jason and Jenna are driving down from Idaho to join the fun too. I love when the Gardners are in town because that means some great game playing. Its a good time. My parents are also coming into town along with my brother, sister in law, and two adorable little ones! Its always fun seeing Cameron and Owen together because they are only like 2 weeks apart and yet, they are so different. I just love it!
...Brock coming into town. (I mean Becca). haha. Becca (who I still refer to as my roommate even though its been 2 1/2 years since we've actually lived together) is stopping through Utah on her way home to AZ and I am seriously SO excited! You see her evil husband got into this evil school named Ohio State and took her far far away. (He really isn't evil but the school still is, right Ryan?) But now she gets to spend like 3 whole days here, so we are way excited. Days of holding her baby boy who I've never met! (evil Ohio!), shopping, watching Gilmore, getting our nails done, eating in and eating out, etc. Can't WAIT!
...Ben and Shalon's baby boy is on his way (almost). April 30th is the big day as long as the little boy can wait that long! We wish we were gonna be there to see him in the hospital. Hopefully this summer we'll get to see him!

If anyone else wants to make the list, we are accepting visitors at any time and donations for mini-vacations too! We're excited for all that we get to do in April!

Prepare to be Jealous

It is really hard to just pick a few pictures to put up on the blog since we can't really post all 200 pictures we took (that would just be ridiculous). But I had to choose some and although there are still a ton on here, let's just say there is more where that came from!

Hawaii was so much fun, we want to go back so badly. It was so beautiful and warm and did I mention the Beach was involved so it was perfect! Here's to hoping another trip like this comes our way soon!

SNORKELING!

Our Family all in Hawaii together. While we were there we celebrated our 2 year anniversary and Olivia's 6 month Birthday. We miss her so much but feel so lucky to have had her if even for a short 37 hours.

Ry and I in the lushness that is Hawaii. One of the valleys on our Sunday drive.

Another amazing sunset. I'm telling you, every night was breathtaking!

This is a picture of the hotel's swimming pool. It's an infinity pool, so basically it looks like the pool just flows right into the ocean (it doesn't, but it makes for a really cool picture).

An awesome picture Ryan took with the nice camera. This was really taken at like 9 at night and yet, it looks like it was taken in the daylight. Pretty good if ya ask me.

A view from the hotel property. We had amazing sunsets every day we were there. It was great!
