My sweet, stubborn, sassy 2 year old, Penelope. She says her name "Pee-nail-lope." Love her. 

We have had a rough week since we returned from our vacation. Remington started with a fever on Saturday and then the hand foot and mouth disease rash started Monday night. All of the kids have had it, but I haven't ever seen it this bad. Poor Remmy. 

Then Penelope followed with a UTI come Tuesday and it's Friday night now and the fever hit her Wednesday and the hand foot and mouth disease rash showed up on her legs with a very uncomfortable itchy night and it's only just beginning. We are ready to be all healthy and go see Santa Claus tomorrow! Wish us luck! 

More Hawaii! A road trip to the "Grand Canyon of Kauai." 

Snow cones! The best with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the bottom. Tony holding Penelope's famous star floatie. 

New friend Ella with Sunny and Paisley at the pool. 

Cave exploration. Beck could have stayed there all day! 

This picture sums up Beck and Penelope's relationship. 

Red Eye flight anyone? 

We left for Hawaii early Monday morning on the 24th of November. The flight was long, boring, and stressful! But we all survived and make it to the sun and 80+ degrees. 

I think Penelope's favorite thing is the beach. She loves to play in the sand. 

We visited a cute park and the kids ran around for quite a bit. 

Beck doesn't love swimming with fish, but he does it to appease his dad. 

My beautiful kids at the park. 

We also stopped and visited a lighthouse on one of our drives. 

Beck and Paisley are loving the underwater camera and also the GoPro camera. 

Thanksgiving dinner was late at night and yummy. I actually had pork tacos and paisley had chicken and fries (as usual) Penelope had grilled cheese, but Beck and Stephen had traditional turkey and stuffing. Beck's came smothered in gravy, so he did the best he could to nibble at it without a disappointed look on his face. 

Paisley loves running in and out of the surf and hanging out with cousin Sunny. 

Remmy likes his mama to hold him and also to eat sand. 

We attempted some family pictures this morning. Thank you to Michelle for pushing the button! I am joy estate company with how they turned out, but they are a family pic, so I can't complain. 

Beck and Stephen were able to go downtown to the Seahwks pregame festivities and I think that Beck had one of the best days of his life at all the activities and he even saw Sydney Rice! (Although he was too nervous to go and ask for a picture) Then Stelhen and Beck went and watched the game at a restaurant. 

Paisley has learned that she can text me from Stephen's iPad. (Stephen is called Daniel Craig in my contacts) I love her cute little text messages. And for the record Stephen and I were not fighting. We were arguing over who was going to set up Carbonite on the computer for backing up my pictures.
