Panama

Well, this is a little belated, but we went to Panama last weekend. It was so fun! These are the Castillos - Hank's favorite people in the world. He taught them on his mission and they were nice enough to let us stay in their home, drive us around all weekend, and cook us delicious food.


This is my new friend Rosi. She was so sweet and she spoke English! Hank wanted me to learn Spanish so no one really spoke English around me, but when I really needed to understand something Rosi would translate for me. (Check out my super-swollen feet!)

We went to a cultural dance celebration with President Monson presiding. It was really cool.

When we got home Rosi dessed me up in her authentic Panamanian costume. That headdress was so heavy! It was after midnight, but it was still about 80 degrees and that dress was hot!

This is the beautiful Panama City, Panama LDS Temple. There were tons of people there and Hank recognized a lot of people from his mission.

Lol, your feet and that dress are both so cute! Glad you had a good time and got to experience such an important part of Hank's life. You're really pregnant now, I bet!

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
