In February, Tom's Dad had surgery so Tom went to Carson City for 2 weeks. It was wonderful that he was able to go there and be with his family at that time. Meanwhile, I was home and it was quite a challenging time for me - I got an eye infection, Mick had a cough/bad cold, Melissa had the cold as well as something that made her throw up 5 nights in the middle of the night AND in the carseat, all over the car! I had my first migraine and was in the emergency room for it, Mick accidentally "dropped" one of his crocs out of the window on the highway, and let's see.....those were the main highlights along with the bad attitudes, defiance, and all of us grumpy and missing Daddy.... But the day that Daddy left, we went to the Dole Plantation and had a wonderful adventure. This is us on the Pineapple Express
After Daddy got home, life returned to normal. In fact, better than normal. I always knew that I loved and appreciated my husband, but now I Love and Appreciate him MORE!

So then one day we went on a field trip to the Zoo.
Of course, there's a tree - there's Mick climbing!

Melissa loves animals, almost as much as Gramma Joan!
This picture cracks me up - the Little Princess! She reminds me of my Gramma Irene quite frequently, and I caught it on camera here!
Here's Melissa in our swimming pool. She now wears Mick's old swim vest, and she is able to swim all over the pool, it's great! Mick can totally swim all on his own, he and I swim laps together (well, like 2 laps) and now that Melissa wears the swim vest, she can swim right with us! Now Mommy can get exercise AND have fun!
My son LOVES to dress up! If his dress up clothes are clean, he is wearing them. On any given day, he is either Capt. Jack Sparrow (a pirate) or a train conductor, or a fire fighter, or Buzz Lightyear. Mostly he loves to be a pirate though. We went to a birthday party and they had face painting there, so he had his face painted as a pirate! He fell asleep on the way home but as soon as he woke up from his nap he put the whole outfit on.

Tom has been doing quite a bit of work to our yard outside our unit. The coolest thing he did was he chopped down 3 palm trees and turned them into tiki torches. They are SO cool! There are still 4 more trees that he wants to chop down, move and put tiki torches in those ones also. No longer are regular tiki torches good enough for us - we have to have Palm Tree ones! :-) In this picture, Tom & Mick had just gone and filled Tom's truck with mulch for the lawn. They decided to eat their burgers on the top of Daddy's truck. What Fun!
We went on a field trip to the State Capitol. We found a very cool banyan tree and these particular roots made a great swing! Mick is swinging, Melissa is watching, and our good friend Kanoa is trying to get on the other roots.
On Saturdays, Mommy takes Melissa to music class and Daddy and Mick get to go on "Adventures." Often times, they go to the Tire Park with Makayla, and other times they just hang out and do Daddy/Mick stuff.

On this particular Saturday, Daddy decided it would be nice to get Mick a fishing pole and teach him how to cast and reel. I came home and saw this - what a precious moment between father and son. The camera can't quite capture it but I tried.....
