Brady sitting up so big- 5 months old already.
SOOO tired!

I can't get enough of those cheeks! I love to kiss on them! =-)
Brady is the happiest, always smiling, most social baby I have ever seen. I just can't get enough of him!!!!

Tim, Mal and Brady in our private hot tub at Snowbird resort. (NO, Brady is not naked----look closely and you can see his yellow suit! )

Ashley and my little Prince!!

Brady's First Taste of Cereal....

We decided to have Brady try some cereal since every time we sat down to eat, he would sit in his bouncer and pull himself forward to look at our plates of food and would just stare. I feel so bad because you know he wants some. He wasn't quite sure about it and still isn't loving the cereal to this day.

Also, the joys of motherhood! Check out this picture where he spit up all down my black shirt. Good thing he's so cute or I would be angry that I am dirty and stink, but I don't even care! I love him so much and am so happy he joined our family. I have the two most wonderful kids! Mallory is 4 and Brady is already over 5 months old! Time goes WAY too quickly.

Kauai, Hawaii!!!

We had the most wonderful and exciting trip spending 7 days in Hawaii with 15 people and 4 of them being kids 4 and under!!! We stayed at a condo right on the beach with my parents and then our cousins stayed 2 doors down. We did so many fun things and got to visit lots of beautiful sites. I couldn't just post a few pictures, so here's a bunch of the week! Enjoy! Here is the view from our condo deck!

Our Hawaii Outfits!

Tim and Mal playing in the ocean

Tim, Ash & Mal at a cave on Kauai

Mal and Brady, becoming best buds. She can make him smile when nobody else can and she loves that!
Tim, Ash, Mal & Brady at the church on Kauai after Sacrament meeting. What a neat experience.
Mal all ready for church. The people at the ward there were SO nice and friendly.
Brady hanging out in his carseat, which he did a lot that week.

My parents anad us having a picnic

Mal and a couple chickens. Chickens were running around all over the island. Cars would have to stop for them to cross the streets, it was crazy.

All of us at Wiaema Canyon
Tim & Brady at Wiaema Canyon

Here are the 4 kids under 4 that were on the trip. It made the week very exciting with NEVER a dull moment. We loved it and wouldn't have changed it.
Tim and Mal spent about 90% of the trip in the water...they are both fish. Mal learned to swim on her own on this trip from one end of a large pool to the other. She is amazing, not even 4 and can swim all on her own with no help.
My two angels. Enjoying the Hawaii vacation.
The fam visiting all the sites
An amazing waterfall, it was beautiful!

We hiked to some falls which Tim jumped off. It was about 30 feet tall. It was very overgrown with lush greenery all along the path just like this. Brady was done.....as you can see here.
My cousin Natalie, Myself and our girls, Kate & Mallory in the ocean
Wasn't planning to swim this day...but at this stop, Mal convinced us otherwise. So, hence the swimming in her clothes!
Brady...standing on his own at 2 1/2 months in our rental van. He wants to be so big!
Tim and Mal at the pool with the ocean in the background. Beautiful!!
On the plane....what a long 6 hours with 2 kids!!
