Tolman Family

I know this is late, but we went to Las Vegas a couple weekends ago for a birthday bash/family reunion. It was so fun to spend time with all of our long-lost family. We hung out by the pool and went to Lake Mead. Jessica had so much fun hanging out with all her cousins and uncles. Uncle Greg and Uncle Randy were particular favorites. We were also lucky enough to be there for Brielle's blessing. She was such a doll! Here is Arista, Grandma, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Deanna, and Mom.

I just found these pictures that we took a few months ago, but I thought I'd put them on anyway. Jessica and I took a trip up to the Phoenix Zoo (about 3 hours away) with a few of our friends from our moms group. It was so fun to see Jessica interacting with all the animals. She had so much fun! What is a cow doing in a zoo, you ask. I don't know. Two little lovebirds sitting on a tractor... Staring contest...Jessica won. She loved the monkeys so much, she wanted to go live with them! Don't worry - it's a statue.

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.
