Life is like a recipe. You've got the fun and yummy ingredients but you've also got the necessary gross ingredients that don't
become something great until all mixed in. Life is the same. You've got your good days and then you've got your trials. Taking
trials by themselves, they're terrible and bitter. But when all mixed into life, you see the blessings and wonderful joys they bring.
Like flour and baking powder, you have your necessary evils. Butter is like the grease of working. Sugar is like the good days,
they make everything sweet. But when all of these are mixed together, you come out with something wonderful... hopefully. When
you mix the elements of life, you also come out with something very... Extraordinary.
Welcome to the recipe of our lives.

Hawaiian Sunrise

We are in HAWAII this week!!




We all (mom, Kev, Der and I, Bailey and bay's friend Abby) arrived around 11:30 am yesterday and after grabbing our giant Yukon, we were off to the beach! 

This morning, we woke up at 3 am and drove 2 hours to see a sunrise. All the way up, the only things said were "Who's idea was this anyway?!" 3 am is so early for something you're not even sure will be cool. 

Turns out... it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. 



You get to the summit (about 10,000 feet) and you're seeing the same view as if you're in an airplane. You're above all of the clouds. 

This is how it looked at first.....








So neat right? Derek wanted to jump and fly through them... we decided the guard rails were put up because of people like him.

Then, slowly, the sun showed up... and it's been said to be similar to a religious experience... and it really was majestic...










NONE of these have been edited... 

Enjoy this cute photobomb from my sister




I love the iPhone 5 panoramas! In the bottom one, the rainbow shape was made out of clouds... so neat.


Then... we went to this breakfast buffet and had cinnamon french toast with coconut syrup... to die for!



Then it was off for a nap and then the pool!

We ended this beautiful Mother's Day with hawaiian shave ice... complete with coconut ice cream!


Hawaiian Shave Ice was all she wanted, and she sure got it!





Happy Mother's Day to our beautiful mothers! We love you both so much!
