I know, I know, we have been to our 50th state a lot lately....but we just can't seem to stay away! We went to Maui this time around and it was beautiful. We went with some wonderful friends, and enjoyed spending time and catching up in paradise!

Catching a few waves...


the water was amazing!


Beautiful island views!





These pics are a little out of order Sorry. Anyways, we stayed at a beautiful hotel, with water slides, awesome beach, and beautiful artwork around, and this is the only picture we got! We were too busy going down the water slides, and jumping off the roped swing. Hopefully we can go back again and get some good pictures!







Black sand beach on the Road to Hana...which i didn't go on btw, i have heard the horror stories of car sickness! Too bad i missed out, by the looks of this picture, it was very beautiful!


Waiting to go out and snorkel. We snorkeled quite a bit on this trip. We saw turtles, eels, and David and Olivia saw an Eagle Ray!
Down at the blow hole, having gun!

My Shining Stars!

Our stake had a roadshow a couple weeks ago and our ward participated in it. We had a blast! It was a lot of work but the kids had so much fun. The stake theme was "The Right Stuff". Our wards skit was "Giselle is on a quest to find a man with the Right Stuff". It was so cute. All of the kids did a great job!
Here are my favorite stars! Olivia was a handmaiden to Giselle, and Tyler played a singing Indiana Jones, one of Giselle's potential suitors.

Brotherly Love!


Giselle with her Handmaiden's! Aren't they so cute!

Giselle with all her potenial suitors!

Some of my cute Mia Maids!

The fearless leaders! They did so much work...it wouldn't have happened without them!

Most of the cast! I couldn't get everyone in! I need that wide angle lens!


Our stake put these on every four years, I think all of the adults will have recovered by then!

Wicked!

Olivia and I, went on a girls trip to San Fransisco a few weeks ago.

We saw this!!!!!
It was amazing.... David asked me if it was as good as Phantom, and Le Mis, and I answered him with a resounding YES!!! I bought the soundtrack today. As Eliza and I where eating our lunch listening to Defying Gravity, I found myself with tears rolling down my cheeks! What a nerd I am. What can I say...it is a very moving song, as is all of the songs are!

Dinner before the show...our poor waitress, there were eleven of us picky girls!

After the show...waiting patiently for the cast to come out and maybe get an autograph!!!

Yay, our patience paid off....Olivia got Elphaba's (Teal Wicks) signature! She was so good!

Doesn't she look like she is about 16?

The next morning we went out to breakfast and wandered around Union Square and walked up to the Ferry Building!




This is after our breakfast....we where all so full we didn't eat lunch that day!
What a fun weekend...good friends, good food, great entertainment, and spending time with my Olivia... I will have to that more often!
