It's so fun to remember!!!

So I am very very far behind on blogging! So many fun things happened the last few months of the year that I really don't even know where to start to catch up. So I have decided just to go through pictures and post some of the favorite ones they may or may not be in any specific order just something that I want to remember. Plus since we had several family times in Hawaii the places are the same so...now on to the memories!

All in a line as a greeting committee.

Silliness
Cameron's birthday party

More silliness
It's a water gun fight with Grandpa after a sleep over.

Can't resist those little red tomatoes.

Check out the little cast.

After the cast was put on his foot he wanted to come and show Grandma the damage. He is growing so fast but looked pretty tiny with that cast on his foot. It's hard to believe that we all watched as he jumped off the stairs and fractured his foot, he was so brave even though it hurt him pretty bad. Rebecca was his strength.


These women all amazed me at the strength they had this day.

Returning from Hawaii I got home in time to go to Idaho for this very difficult funeral. I was prepared for a very difficult experience and came home edified, strenghtened and comforted by this wonderful family. It was an amazing funeral and we were all touched by the Spirit as we were taught by the Mingo family.

Two of my favorite ladies, Aunt Bernice on the left and Aunt Louise on the right.

Jelly fish right in the Ala wai Canal in Honolulu. Kerry and I walked along the canal and through Waikiki. We took lot's of pictures of the flowering trees and plants along the way.

Another beautiful sunset at Waikiki

While I was here in August Hawaii was bracing for a Tropical Storm that they were really worried about. Actually I was really impressed by the preparations that the city made. While the surf was up and it was really black and we got some rain the storm missed O'ahu and really wasn't an event. This rainbow was just beautiful from our room.

The pictures don't do justice as to how brilliant the color was this day.
