Our girls have been taking some fabulous art classes from Sister Olson in our ward. She is so talented and we're grateful that she is passionate and a good mentor to our children. These pictures are from the end of a 6 week course.

The Kona Hawaii LDS Temple 1/09

We couldn't go to Hawaii without taking pictures at the temple. Jesse and I took turns doing a session while we were there. It was a lovely experience.

Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm 1/09

John, Annie and Julia


We tried to do one big thing a day, and then do the pool and relax the rest of the time. This day we went to a seahorse farm. It was WAY overpriced, but it was a unique experience. We got a one hour tour of the facilities and got to feed and hold the seahorses. The girls were enchanted.

Annie is such a beach bum.
