Happy 80th Birthday Grandma

For my Grandma's 80Th Birthday we all got together at China Sun Buffet for a
Party. It was so nice to all be together celebrating her life. My Uncle Kirk flew in from California and surprised my Mom. Another friend of my Grandma's from CA came up to visit and just happened to be here for the Party. My Grandma was so excited for this party. She was the one who picked out where we were going to have it. We decorated it and was able to get a nice cake and all. It was a wonderful evening. We were even shown an old movie from when my Grandma must of been in her 20's doing some kind of dance with some of her friends she had been taking a dance class. It was so funny to watch.

People who attended were my family and then all my siblings were there with their families except Jared(he lives in Idaho). Uncle Kirk, Harry Kahuhu(Alisa's boyfriend)Kathy, Cousin Lynn, and Uncle Robert.

Grandma we love you and are so glad you live so close now!!

Happy Fathers Day Kyle!

 

For Fathers day this year we just stayed home and relaxed. It was nice is all I can recall!

Congrats on Graduateing Chelsea!

My little sister graduated from high school recently. This is my youngest sister. She was born the summer before my senior year in High School. When Kyle left on his mission she was barely walking. When we got married she was 3. When Gabby was born she was 5. So it is about 18 years apart. She doesn't even remember a time when Kyle wasn't around.

She is an awesome example for my sweet daughters. She graduated with a 3.8 GPA while also graduating with her Associates. We have a program here called running start where you can take college classes at the local college and also get your high school credits. She is super busy she works 2 jobs and is so fun to be around.Chelsea I am so proud of you! Have fun in all your endeavors at BYU Idaho!
We will miss you!

Memorial Day Fun!

On Memorial Day we all decided it was time to have a Hoisington Day of Fun. One of the grand kids saw some pictures of us all playing at a Park about 5+ years ago. So we all decided to do it again. We all went up to Port Townsend and visited 2 of our favorite parks. It was a wonderful Day! We can't wait for the next time we all get together.

Happy 12th Birthday Gabby

Well it is hard for me to beleive that my oldest baby is 12 years old and going into Young Womens. Gabby you have become such a good big sister and example for your sisters. I look forward to seeing you loving YW and all the exciting new steps you will be taking in your life. We love you!

I was surprised by this!

 

One morning when I went into wake up the kids I found Lilly and Lydia both asleep in the Pak and Play. Lilly has been in the pak and play for awhile now. We had to take the crib down because she was climbing out and fell plus the crib was falling apart. We tried to just put the crib mattress on the floor but that was not working. So I put her in the Pak and play. She can climb out of it as well but it is much closer to the ground. It keeps her in for a couple minutes so I can shut the door. She does climb into bed with her 2 older sisters. This was a surprise because the older sister was in bed with her. I love that they love to be with each other.

Spring Break 2011

For Spring Break this year we went to Whistler again. This year my parents were in Japan and my other siblings didn't want or couldn't go so we went with some of the Hoisington families. Mike, Monique and their kids and Steve, Emily, Simon and Brenda.
It was so much fun! We explored the town. Went swimming at our favorite swimming place and just relaxed. We went to library where my kids each picked out books and read them all before we left. We went to the spaghetti factory and just had fun! Whistler is where my kids think of when we go on vacation. When I was a kid it was California. We all had fun and enjoyed every minute with our cousins and family.
