Hey, hey!! We've been super busy (I know, I know, I always use that excuse!). In the past couple of weeks I've had a kids church leadership retreat, Mason's birthday, special days at school, sleepover, and a day at the water park. Whew! But, it has all been fun stuff so I can't complain.


Anyway, here are a few pics.

Can you believe he's 8 years old?!
Mason' new camoflauge Bible. Yes, if you can't tell he really likes camo!
Mason and dad working on a 471 piece lego set. This is Mason's biggest set ever!
And, the finished product!

We didn't take the camera into the water park but we did have a fun time. Mason is now over 48 inches tall so he can ride all the slides without having to pass the swimming test each time. Mackenzie rode a really big slide that you only had to be 42 in. tall to ride. I don't have a picture of her on it, but here is a picture of that slide from last year.



I was so proud of her, she didn't cry or anything, but the look on her face said, "That was not fun and I DO NOT want to do it again!" I don't think she's quite ready yet for the big slides! Her and I will stick to the keiki cove. :)

I am looking forward to a normal week although the closer it gets to the end of the school year the busier life becomes. I am really looking forward to summer break. (only 17 more school days!) :)

Congratulations Uncle Andy and Aunt Michelle!

Since they don't have a blog of their own (yet) I wanted to announce the engagement of my little brother Andy and his beautiful fiance Michelle. We are so excited for you guys and the kids are already referring to Michelle as Aunt Michelle. :)

We're not exactly sure when the wedding will be but we're hearing maybe October. For those of you who read my blog but don't know the rest of my family, we are all very close and it is a blessing to be adding another sister to the bunch. God has blessed us all and I marvel at the great and wonderful things that He is doing in the lives of my brothers and sisters. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Mr. and Mrs. Andy Kaup as well as for the rest of my awesome siblings. I love you guys! :)

Finally, some pictures!!

Yes, I am finally posting some pictures. Not much new going on here. Last weekend was great spending time with Aunt Kelly and Maggie. We're glad they got a flight home although we would have loved to keep them a few more days! :) 

"Cheerios" by Mason. We spent pretty much all day Thursday at Sears portrait studio. The kids kept busy by taking pictures of anything and everything, including Maggie's cheerios. 

Mason and Mackenzie at Dole Plantation. The kids and I went there after Mason's dr. appt. when he had strep. What a great mom, to take your child out running around the world's largest maze in 80 degree weather when he has a fever. :( Oh well, we had fun! 

At the park. 

That's about it for now. Have a great weekend!
