This is my baby right now, he could seriously get away with murder…
:D
“How do I get this off so I can just guzzle the thing?”
Look at the concentration…

attempting to capture a wild “alana” on film…
After many failed attempts, we’ve finally managed to capture the wild alana on film. And what an amazing site.
Anyone who has gone in search of an alana knows it is a very difficult task, their camoflauge techniques are utterly amazing.
They utilize their surroundings to sheer perfection.
Notice how she goes completely unnoticed to bystanders.
Most of the alanas we have encountered are no bigger than a seven year old boy of average size.
Take a look at this alana next to an average sized man. Amazing, he has NO idea that she is there!!!
Completely undetected, fantastic!
This alana snuck up behind me as I took a self portrait. NO idea she was there…
Next week, we study the migrating techniques of the elusive alana.
Should be interesting, they tend to travel in silver BMWs, make random stops for spinning lessons and only
wear sweats.
Love you Alana!!! :D
random photos
I was going through all the photos on our camera and found a few randoms, just stuff that didn’t make it onto other posts. So here goes…
Travis really enjoys time with his Nuis (great grandparents). He had some one on one time with Papa Nui
watching the Christmas Specials on tv. 
I was messing around with the camera while we were decorating the tree…trying to get the lighting just right.
I apologize for a few of these, they look a little wonky but, they are just some cute moments.
“Let me take a look at that for ya Mom.”
I was organizing the kids room just before Christmas and Trav got into some of Enoch’s mini Oreos. This is just…well, classic.
OK, so little girl’s hair is fun to play with but, when you can say your son has “Birdman” hair, that’s just priceless.

my sweet, sweet boys
Last Saturday we had some free time and while I was running around the house cleaning and doing laundry, Joe was having some quality father son time with his two boys.
They were so quiet for the longest time so I finally went into the boys room to check on them, and this is what I found…
Joe read to the boys for about 45 minutes.

New Year’s in Utah
We received a phone call on Christmas Eve that Lawry’s brother-in-law had passed away. There was no question that we would be attending the funeral.
We left for Utah on the 29th of December.
David Luck joined us on the ride down and it was actually a lot of fun. The kids both did really well on the drive and we really couldn’t complain.
The funeral was good. There is so much talent on both sides of this family, I’m just amazed every time we visit. It was really nice to finally meet a lot of the family on Lawry’s side. I always hear so much about them.
I didn’t take many pictures while we were there, sorry. Sometimes I’m really good with that and others, I’m just not.
We spent New Years with Bonnie’s side of the family at the Hawaiian Cultural center in Brighton. I think that's where it is? We had a good time talking, dancing, and eating. There was wonderful music and great company.
I was able to get my haircut this trip by Naomi, YAH! LOVE YOU GIRL! And we were able to see Eve and her cute little family. Eve, you KNOW you’re my buddy when we’re out there. ;D
The 1st of January was Auntie Bonnie’s birthday so we were able to spend that time with her and celebrate with family, friends, good music and fun times. Todd, we love you and hope you’re feeling better!!!
Joe and I took the kids down to Provo to meet up with a few friends we hadn’t seen in ages. His friend Nate lives there and my friend Ambrosia does as well. It was really good to see them both and to know that they are doing so well. We hope to see them in the near future.
We also visited a childhood friend of mine, Laura, and her family. She is due in February with her third child and its such an exciting time for them. It was so good to see them again and to catch up. I have so many fond memories of their family. We had made a visit a few years ago when Enoch was little, little but her sister Emily wasn’t there so it was really nice to see her this time around. They all look so beautiful and happy!
The drive home was roomier, because David was dropped off in Provo where he lives, but I think it was a little less entertaining. We all were a little grumpy coming home, but we made it safely.We will miss our family and friends in Utah. Until next time…
Christmas Morn
This will be odd because half of our pictures are on a friend’s camera, Ours was charging during the gift opening. I will post those when I get them. Enjoy!
This was where Santa dropped his gifts off.
This was Enoch’s first meeting with Monty, he just loved him.
He also helped Travis with his toys.
The aftermath…
Miranda hanging with the boys.
The Nerds
Hehe
Messin’ Around with Joe’s New Lens
LOVE the picture of Bonnie. :D
