Black and White Wednesday

Taken 4 years ago this month on the North side of Maui, Hawaii. My husband earned a family trip with his work and we all headed to Hawaii for 3 weeks!!

It was a vacation of a life time and our boys still talk about it to this day, even my little man that was 2 1/2 at the time!!

This was late afternoon and the clouds were looking pretty crazy.

Our kids ask if we will ever go back again as a family?? Well if we ever win the lottery which would mean we would have to play the lottery! ha

Maybe if the economy picks back up and business is good again sometime in the future??

It was the most amazing time and I can see why the boys still talk about it like it was yesterday.

Im back home!

I just got back at 12:00am last night or this morning. :-)  I forgot my camera battery for my trip and did not want to spend the money for one.  I'm waiting for a few friends to copy me on the pictures they took while I was away.  It was nice to be kid free for a few days.  It was kind of a crazy trip, the first day I was down with a migraine and it was horrible.  I stay with my girlfriend and her family, she has 7 kiddos.  I did not get to fit everyone in that I wanted to see, there was just not enough hours in the day.  I did have a wonderful Mother's Day at the ocean, it was beautiful and I laid down on the beach and slept for 1 1/2 hours it was heaven!!  I'm sorry to all those I did not catch up with and hopefully next time I will have more time.

I want to say Thanks so much to my girlfriend and her family for taking me in for 5 days and being my chauffeur and feeding me!  The time went too fast.  Hopefully I will get copies of the pictures soon and be able to post them.

We have been back for almost 2 weeks

Visiting old friends from High School, this is also where my hubby and I met for the first time when we were 16!!! Peter Piper Pizza. :-)

We have been back from Arizona for almost 2 weeks and I cant find time to post!  Plus I have not even used the camera until last night at the boys band concert.  Trying to still decorate for Christmas and get the cards out on time.

Our all time favorite Christmas comedy movie is "Elf", tomorrow night we are having an Elf party at our house with some friends.  So I'm cleaning  like a crazy woman and getting dinner and treats together.  My boys want to have spaghetti with syrup for dinner but I think we will stick to the roast, potatoes and carrots I have already planned!!

I also have to bake 1oo cookies this weekend for a cookie exchange and dinner I'm attending in the neighborhood Monday night.  Wow, and less than 2 weeks until Christmas!!

Here are a few pictures from our time in Arizona with family.
