Axel turns 11

Black light mini golf

Our favorite place and the Birthday song

Axel turns 11!! Axel is such a fun and challenging kid! Axel questions every thing with fierce convention. Conversations and answers are getting harder and harder.  He is smart, loves math and likes to read.  Axel like to play on the Xbox and his computer. Axel keeps us on our toes and has been leading his brothers all the way.  He wants to be a lawyer or robotic engineer when grows up.  He is almost taller then me!  I can't believe your 11. I am in awe of who you are becoming.  I don't want you to grow up but have been learning to enjoy each new phase as they come.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY AXEL!

Last day in Hawaii

Found one more beach to walk on!

Tiny little shells

We love Hawaii  

Got a little wet- had to leave the beach in his undies

Last sun set

On the way to the airport we hiked through some lave fields

It was tricky to walk through
Mom was the only one who cut her leg 

Boarding the plane and heading home

It was so fun boarding the plane from outside! 

Good buy Hawaii!  We had such a wonderful trip.  Thank you for all the memories, the sunshine, the fruit, the ocean and the beaches.  Until next time Hawaii!!

Sunsets and swimming in the ocean

Orchids growing in the hotel

Sunshine on the skin feels so good

 We had a terrible crazy cold week in Minnesota.  Looking back at these pictures of sunshine makes me think why do we live where we do?   I look back at the sunshine and pretend I can felt the heat on my skin again.

The boys relaxing 

Watching the sunset while hearing the ocean is one my my favorite things ever!

Ice cream on a hot day

This man of mine is to good to me
Tiffany's necklace 

Gotta wear shades

The boats at the hotel were so cool 

Waving to the train from the boat

Just chilling 

Aqua Man !!!
