EASTER
Spring is my favorite time of the year. The smell of fresh cut grass, the perfect temperature and the knowledge of school coming to an end and summer beginning. Easter this year happened to be on my birthday as well as General Conference. Grandma Luthi, Aunt Karen and our cousin Casidy came down to visit for the week. We enjoyed spending time together.

While Kelsee and I were at her swim meet, Aunt Karen helped the kids make sugar cookies. By the time I got home, they were ready to eat...NO MESS!
Maddy made a special heart cookie for me and put a special note on the plate so no one would eat it.
EASTER DAY
SPRING SOCCER
Abby and Maddy love playing soccer. We always enjoy getting out on Saturday morning to watch their games. They both played hard this season and had a lot of fun.
HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY MADISON
Maddy was able to celebrate her birthday while we were visiting our cousins in Hawaii. I didn't take many pictures but she had a great day. We went to the beach, had a picnic, played in the sand and boogie boarded. Later, we enjoyed an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.

HAWAII 2010
For spring break this year we were able to go visit our cousins in Hawaii. We had such a great time. They have already blogged about our trip so here it is in a nut shell...thanks Joey! :)
A new adventure for all of us was night snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. They don't have it all the time, but we lucked out to be in town the week it was available. We rented a few flashlights and were set for a fun evening of swimming around with (who knows what) in the dark... I think the adults were more nervous wondering what might be hiding behind the coral than the kids. They seemed excited for a new adventure. We didn't see as many fish swimming around but were able to see different species of fish that are not usually out in the day. Jared was even able to see an eel. I thought for sure I would freeze to death I have to admit, but after getting in it was fairly comfortable. It was a new adventure!

We also took a drive up to North shore. We stopped in for some of Marissa's favorite pineapple ice cream at the Dole plantation. We still like the shaved ice with sweetened condensed milk but we never pass up on ice cream. All the beaches facing the North shore were closed due to high waves and strong currents. We still enjoyed the view and were able to see the turtles sun bathing and swimming in the waves on the "turtle beach." We made a stop at the Hukilau Beach park in Laie. It was a bit windy, and the waves weren't as consistent as we were hoping for so the stay was shortened, but the day wasn't lost as some made a trip over to Kalama beach in Kailu when we returned.
We enjoyed spending time together going to baseball scrimmages, soccer games, early morning walks and lots of visiting. The three oldest girls slept outside in a 3 man tent. They were nice and cozy. Thank goodness the hard rain held off till after we left. The week flew by too fast. We are hoping to go and visit again before they move.
