The Bells Came to Visit

Liz and Brian came to visit a few weeks ago. The kids had so much fun together. We spent a lot of time at the beach and even got a babysitter one afternoon.

Here's to New Beginnings...

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, JASMINE!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day and am proud of the things you have achieved. Here are 21 things that I love about her:

1. Jasmine loves our family and is always excited to see them.

2. Jasmine is super good with kids.

3. Jasmine is super good with animals, especially Ziggy.

4. Jasmine knows how to laugh and her laugh is infectious.

5. Jasmine is very charismatic and makes new friends easily.

6. I admire how caring Jasmine is when it comes to sick people, animals, stories, etc.

7. Jasmine is REALLY good at doing hair (that is why I only let her do mine.)

8. Jasmine is hopeful and seeks to see what the future holds, which is pretty cool.

9. Jasmine is good at putting on make up and always looks stylish.

10. Jasmine is a good sister and us three always laugh.

11. Jasmine is really good at playing video games, especially Super Mario Kart. I wish I was as good.

12. We love having sibling time which consists of playing Life, Monopoly or Phase 10.

13. Jasmine is a good friend and is super loyal to them.

14. Jasmine loves Laie and misses the culture and the people, another thing we have in common.

15. Jasmine is a good listener and I appreciate the fact that I can talk to her about things.

16. Jasmine is fearless: when we go to amusement parks, she's the first to go on ALL the scary rides. I am such a wimp and I can only watch from afar.

17. When we were little Jasmine and I were best friends and wore matching outfits all the time, I miss those days.

18. I love that Jasmine is passionate about our culture and about our roots.

19. Jasmine is a lot more "chill" than I am, she doesn't get phased as easily as I do, which is something I wish I could do more of.

20. I love that when I get excited about a movie or a show, Jasmine will be super excited, too; which is nice because I don't feel as silly. :)

21. She's a Hunt, how can I not love that?! Hehe.

Even though Jasmine and I haven't always gotten along, she is still my sister and still very close to me. I love you Jasmine and am proud to have you as my sister. I hope you have a wonderful day because you deserve it!! xoxo -Y

Blessing of the Waves

Sunday was the third annual blessing of the waves. It was an interfaith gathering in Huntington Beach (wonder if Chelsea and family were there). Articles mention various faiths represented, including Mormon.

Hawaii for Christmas

Whenever we save any kind of money we spend it on travel. 101% worth every penny I must add. So it's official we're coming to Hawaii. Just bought our tickets on Hawaiian for a totally good price (thanks Mariko for being on top of it)! We'll be there from the 14-28th of December. I wish the 14th was tomorrow.

I can't wait to see Pammy, Adam, the Springs, the Jacksons, the DeMartinis the beach....

Hope you can come too.

My Little Bibliophile Pony

This toy was confiscated two nights ago.
You know why? I'll give you a hint. Someone was staying up late reading and that star underneath her necklace causes little LED lights to flash on her cape and in her horn when you push it.

Earth From Above

I loved seeing these images.

Religion Survey

I thought this report in the New York Times was quite interesting.
