Waikoloa, Hawaii

This shaved ice is their small!
Ezra is finally glued together.

One of Hannah's favorites was the black sand beach.
Swimming with the dolphins.
Ezra was steering the sailboat.

Scott and Ezra in the hotel's lagoon.
This boat took you from one part of the resort to the other. They
also had a monorail transport system.

Ezra loved looking at the sea turtles in the lagoon.



Scott earned a trip with State Farm to the big island and took Hannah and Ezra. Their highlight was swimming with the dolphins. The one in the pic is Eva. Their resort had the Dolphin Quest. They went snorkeling in the resorts lagoon and went out on a sailboat snorkeling and saw two humpback whales up close. Most of Scott's pics of the whale are just of the tail because the camera was slow. The whales were jumping in and out of the water. The last day Ezra hit his head on a glass table at the hotel and had to go to the hospital, no stitches but they glued it.

More Easter Traditions




Easter Egg Dye






Everyone had 6 eggs to dye! That is a lot of eggs, but it is so much fun. Hannah's favorite was one she wrote "I love JB" If you have a daughter that is 10-15 years old you will be able to figure out who she is referring to. Ezra's favorite is the one he is holding because it looks like a watermelon, his favorite fruit.

City Easter Egg Hunt




Saturday before Easter was Page's Easter Egg Hunt. Esther was super fast at collecting the eggs. The kids are separated by age and she gathered more eggs than the other 4 year olds that were near us. It was freezing cold! Ezra did not even want to come because it was cold. Noah was too old and Hannah was at dance rehearsal. Luckily on Sunday it was much warmer!

Pre-Remodeling Bedroom

This is where my old vanity used to be. I should have taken a pic of
the old yellow vinyl we pulled out!

This is when the carpet is being ripped off our wall and window.


Do I even want to remember the blue carpet? Only my mother in law can appreciate this remodel as much as I do!

Bedroom Remodeling



s
These are pics of our new room. We built the walk in closet and are slowly moving in.
We have been working on remodeling our bedroom since January! Last week Scott and I were able to move back into our room! Hurray! We have been sleeping downstairs in Jonah's room for the past 8 weeks. It is great to be back upstairs. Sharing a bathroom with three boys has been the biggest inconvenience. But I am grateful we have enough room to fit downstairs. We had new shutters put in our bay window but they were the wrong style so it will be another 2 months before those are put in. We decided to remodel our master bath once we started our bedroom. Today the toilet is being put in! My vanity I ordered on March 4 is now not going to be here until the end of May. Yesterday I painted our new doors and today I am painting the door frames so our project is not quite finished but I wanted to show off what we have done.
