More Road to Hana

A tiny cave on black beach that runs to the ocean. It was really cool inside. Mandi has pics from inside I have to gets these from her.



Me sitting on the black beach. The sand is thicker it was weird. Mandi and I collected some sand from the black beach but were later told it was bad luck to take it home with us. The day before we left was when the plane crashed into the Hudson River so we decided to leave the sand in Maui. :)



A nice over look of black beach and the ocean. Isn't it Beautiful!



The ocean crashing up on black beach I love watching the ocean do that. The way the ocean moves onto the beach and the rocks is very interesting and powerful.

Road to Hana

A tree on the road to Hana. Made a nice picture we thought.



One of the little waterfalls on the road to Hana. The road to hana has approximately 600 curves and 54 bridges!!! We road in the Mustang convertable that America and Liliana rented. We were on a time crunch so we didn't get to enjoy all of the road to hana but what we saw was beautiful



Black Beach, The rocks the sand it is all black!!! Isn't that crazy. Aparently a few more turns and curves down the road there is Red Beach but we didn't have time to go there too.

One Tree!!! Yes One Tree

This one tree makes up an entire little park, I forgot what it is called but it is amazing!!! It just growns branches and re-roots itself into the ground and grows another tree!!! It is so cool. Sorry there is no climbing on the tree.










Well we first ran into this tree at night so here is me sitting at the base and founder of all the of branch trees.

Old Lahina Luau

Me and one of the Performers. Before the Luau he was making coconut flakes using real coconuts I don't know but it was incredible. And just look at the view!!!



Some ladies learning a the basic hula steps.



The luau starting but the camera I took with me didn't take photos in dark places worth a darn so this is the 1st and last photo I took. If I get other copies from others I will post more but it was a great show and tons of food!



8 of us at the luau. All the girls from the office here in AZ that went. Alecia is taking the picture.
Back row - Rafa and Liliana
Front row - Me, Norma, Elisa, Mandi, America and Annette

Whale Watching

The Beautiful beach and Ocean just outside out hotel. Isn't that water just so blue!It looked just like this in real time.. Gorgeous I tell you gorgeous!!



Mandi and I on the boat waiting to leave the dock to go whale watching and snorkeling. Mandi's face looks a bit scared. As we left the harbor and boats would come in I would point and say look Mandi that whole boat of people and not one attacked by a shark! I am so glad she went.



A Northern Humpback Whale that came right up to another boat on the ocean. Isn't that incredible?!



All 5 of us on the boat. Back row L to R, Alecia and America, Front row L to R, Mandi, Me and Liliana. I love my short hair but the wind in Maui had it in my face a lot. :)

First Couple of Days in Maui

Me, Alecia, and Mandi we all roomed together. Alecia is from Dr. A's office in Utah she was AWESOME!!! We had so much fun together and she was such a trooper being put in a room with 2 strangers that have known each other since High School. This was our first day of class, I know boo hoo a seminar in Maui, Hawaii!!!



Our first day on the beach in MAUI!!!! L to R, Mandi, America, Me and Liliana. We along with Alecia hung out most of the week, I laughed so hard it was fantastic!


Mandi and I on the beach near black rock right outside our hotel we could literally be on the beach in 5 mins from going down stairs and across the walkway to the beach. It was awesome.



The view of the beach and the back of the hotel from our hotel room. It was beautiful and spoiling to wake up and see that for a week!

Snorkeling at Molokini Island in Maui, Hawaii

Some of the fish we first saw when we got into the water.



Yep a White tip Shark that was in the waters around us.. we didn't see him thank goodness! We all would of been out of the water! Mandi is deathly afraid of sharks and this was her first time on a boat and in the ocean we were all in shock!!



All 5 of us.. From L to R, ME, Liliana, America, Mandi and Alecia



Molokini island is about an hour boat ride out to the middle of the ocean we saw a lot of Northern Humpback Whales, they come from Alaska to the waters of Maui to mate it is amazing! We saw some dolphin that played in the front of our boat they were so cute. It was a an excellent trip!

Happy Birthday Jarae!!!!!

On January 2nd 5 years ago at 12:20 AM my sweet pea was born. The instant love I felt for her the moment I found out I was pregnant. I loved the feeling of her moving around in my tummy and how personal it was just between the two of us. I know I am weird I enjoyed that part with both my kiddo's

Jarae of course wanted a Hanna Montana cake so walmart was kind enough to provide me with the edible decal to go on the cake for free! Score!!! I was cutting off the edges to the cake cuz they were a little hard and Jarae proclaimed she didnt want 'crust' on the cake at all. So I proceeded to cut all the 'crust' off the cake spoiled yes but my princess only turns 5 once. :) So the cake wasn't the preetiest to frost if you can imagine because the inside of the cake was very moist and yummy. But no one seemed to care. :)

I can't beleive she is 5 though. Makes me sad that it has gone by so fast and happy at the young girl she is and how incredible she is. She is so beautiful and so smart we just love and enjoy her so much.
