For those of you who may not know, my Uncle Ric and Aunt Jean stayed with us for 3 weeks to help out while I was away at an Army school. Thank you so much for your help and thank you to my Grandma Hathway for helping with plane tickets so this could happen! Being away from my girls for the 1st time for a whole
17 days was the hardest thing I have ever done, and I can't tell you how great it was to know that I had family taking care of my girls while I was gone and Josh was working 12-14 hour days.
Once I graduated from Army school we had one day to play before Ric left, so of course, we went to the beach.

Beautiful Kaneohe bay. water is so beautiful it looks fake

We went to the local Kaneohe Marine Corps Base Exchange so Uncle Ric could pick up a few Marine things, like this backpack. Then he made Kylee carry it.
ha ha Just Kidding Kylee wanted to help! Uncle Ric just wanted to carry her!
Ah, part of the reason for Uncle Ric and Aunt Jean's visit. To watch/help with the girls while I was away at the Army Warrior Leadership Course. No pics of my school...they dont allow that sort of thing. But here I am after graduation! Many people from my unit came to see my graduation, so in Hawaiian tradition, I got lots of leis!
Thanks husband for all your support before and during my school!
love Lexi's expression. this was the night before i left for school
we ordered the islands best pizza, Bostons Pizza. Yummy but expensive!

easter morning. of course, she went right to the chocolate
playing with some toys the easter bunny brought her
i love her face here, too. she picked up her new dolls for the first time.
Princess Belle and the Beast. And you can lift the Beast's shoulders and head off so he becomes the Prince.
Playing with bubbles the Easter bunny brought her
The Easter bunny brought her an Elmo book, too. we've had to play with that every single day.
her new dolls kissing :) we didnt even show her that, she just did it.
Awww, such a good dad. Josh jumped right in and started playing with Kylee and her new dolls.
