Here are Jackson and Janette out on the hotel balcony....
And this is our view from our hotel balcony...we actually saw a couple of whales out in the distance this morning....
Janette and I at the beach today....Dang Sexy is what we are!!!
Todd and my boyz hanging at the beach, trying to find a good spot to Skim at....
And of course to end the day, a beautiful Hawaiian sunset! It's Da Kine I like!!! Aloha for Today! Tomorrow its Diamond Head and the North Shore!!!!
And so the time has come for us to follow the rest of you into the world of "Password Protecting" our blogsite, or a.k.a. much like a fine wedding invitation, "you are cordially invited to share in the joy that is known as US!" My plan is to switch over in the next few days, and those who are invited will know. And to those who are not? Well it has been interesting entertaining you, even though I am not even sure who you are??? Either way, we can now have more privacy and enjoy making fun of all those who are NOT invited! Right! Am I right? Well, maybe not. But either way, and until then...please enjoy these parting words....
Here are the two best buddies ... Batman & Robin. We were living on Locust Lane at the time. This is by far my FAVORITE picture!!!
This was 1996. We were living in Sugarhouse. Chandler was in his first year of pre-school, and Alec was excited to go and watch Chandler's Halloween parade.
1997: Our first Halloween at our new home in Bountiful. We were so excited to have a house that was our very own. Todd was actually flying home from somewhere this Halloween, and the boys got lots of comments from people at the airport. (That was back in the days where you were allowed to wait at the gate for your loved one to come home.) Who would have ever known how much time Todd would be spending at the Salt Lake Airport back then...
1998: Chandler was in Kindergarten. He was by far the cutest Court Jester in the class!!
1999: Our first Halloween with Pirate Jack!!! Chandler's Dracula looked more like Eddie Munster. Alec was such a scary Skeleton.
This was either 2001 or 2002. I haven't been able to find a couple of years worth of pre-digital photos. Here are my superheros. I had to get at least one more good year out of the Batman costume. 
2003: We had moved from Bountiful to SLC, and were living in an apartment at this time while we were finishing our house. This was the week that Todd's wonderful Aunt Diane passed away. We were at her viewing this Halloween, so my sister Claudia & her husband Brian took the boys trick-or-treating for us. The girl in the picture is my niece Hailey. We miss you Aunt Diane :)
2005: Jackson was in 1st grade, Alec was in 6th, and Chandler was a big 7th grader. 
same year, I love this picure of Jackson. I think the eyebrows made the costume!!!
2006: Chandler and Alec wanted to trick-or-treat, but didn't want to get dressed up. This was the best I could do with 2 unwilling participants. Alec actually told people he was a hunter. I do have to say, I love the Nacho Libre costume on Jackson.
