Modest is Hottest, Ladies. "I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder. - Emma Watson
I loved this!  THANK YOU Emma Watson for being a good role model!!!

Not sure why blogger won't let me post all the posts I did of Hawaii... I am sort of  heartsick about it!

Hooray

I am so excited!!! I had been working on my Blurb books (blog - scrapbooking books) I was 2 years behind so.... I was determined to get those done before the end of this year so I could start on this year and get back on schedule. I got an email that offered me 20% off if I ordered 2 books by August 26 so I have been working so so so hard to get those done and I just got them ordered!!! Hoooooooray!!! So, now I really need to catch up on my blogging so that my book for 2011 will go quickly and easily! It was looking and in 2009 and 2010 I posted a TON! Hundreds of posts... so far this year - 27. WOW! I need to get working! But not today, I am so sick of being on the computer!! So today I am catching up around the house and then next week... I will finally finish Hawaii posts and hopefully get done with most of SUMMER!!!

Kindergarten Program!

Russells end of the year Kindergarten program was so cute! He was chosen to say something that he loved about his year in Kindergarten and he said, "Learning from Mrs. Hale". She was so thrilled! They sure loved eachother and Russ is sad to leave her class!

Every year after the wards annual Fathers and Sons camp (Man Camp!) Russ and Jonathan go on a hike! This year after the hike Russ was surprised with a trip to the air show! He was THRILLED!

Hawaii Day 8

Last Day! 

Had to take a few more pics of the place...

 And take another swim! I <3 salt water!

 These Jeeps were awesome!

 We were here a LOT!

 Driving through the tree tunnel was amazing!

 We had to see on last lighthouse before we left!  (Ok, I did, and I drug everyone else with me!)

 Ninini Lighthouse!

 Me and my love!

 The whole gang!

 One more waterfall!  Opeka'a!

 My Dad showing us a crazy plant:) 

 We went to Kalapaki Burger place for dinner! 

 And then headed to the airport, where we boarded early and arrived in Phx early! 

 Oh, here are a few more random pics though.  J thought it was appropriate to take a pic of me here... can't image why?!?!

 A cruise ship we drove past, it was soooo huge!

 J in a chair that he loved!

 Nice!

 We passed these crazy frogs every day.... hmmmm...

 My fav pic I took the whole trip!

 As much as we loved our trip it was incredible to be home with the kids!  It is really true, the most precious jewels you will ever have hanging from your neck, are the arms of your children!
