Maui Wowi

Ka'anapali Westin Villas... so nice! It was beautiful in every aspect!
The view from our balcony... Derek snorkeled right out there! and that is also where Jocelyn went into the ocean for the first time, swam in the pool for the first time and had her first Thanksgiving!
This is at the Sheraton where we had our Thanksgiving buffet... so yummy.
This is Laura Harris and Jeff Williams, Derek's siblings, cooking the 40 lb MahiMahi Jeff caught in Maui! It was DELICIOUS! Laura made fabulous fajitas one night... it was a blast with all the tasty dishes

MAHALO NUI LOA, Grammy G! My mom sent Jocelyn this beach tent "dome" for Christmas JUST IN TIME for me to take it! It is SO helpful1 I could enjoy the beach and not worry about her getting sunburnt or sandy! She loved playing with the zipup net! ... as you can see
She loved Maui! I wish she could remember it later in life, but at least we documented the trip, right?! I found this fun swim suit for her! Her lil 2 piece.... she has to live it up now, cause she can't were these later! hahah (can you see she's getting a lil hair in!)
Jeff was bound and determined to get golden brown!Jocelyn and Grandma Christy! SUCH A CUTE PHOTO! So happy we caught the smile! They had so much fun playing together! She's gonna miss you!!!!


Derek snuck of shot of Laura! ;>

I promise it's not painful... she actually was laughing! She found her toes on this trip and keeps snacking on them1

See, lathering up! WE CAUGHT HIM!
Beautiful pool, ya?!

The boys played a lil water bball! Poor Jeff and Blaise had sore feet after it was all over. I guess Dereks "slipper" wearing pays off!


William found Derek's hat! I think he looks super cute in it!
William loved the fishies! They has an amazing koi pond! They were BIG FISHIES

An elevator shot! On our way to Turkey dinner! The kids are with us! I PROMISE! Jocelyn is in her stroller! :>

Needle point..... a lil "hike" we went on our last day! So beautiful! I love the greenery of Hawaii!
Ray & Christy Corbett
Thank you so very very much for inviting us and letting us join such a wonderful trip! We felt like royalty being pampered in so many ways! It was nice to see Maui and family. * But we did miss having the Hammels to complete the family! NEXT TIME!

Will loved these showers! hahaha So cute!
OPS! forgot to zoom out! but turned out ok... that's my girl!
That's my man!
I love him so!
Check out Jocelyn's crib in the background! I must say she sleeps the best at home... but not too bad there!
PAPA! She loves her daddy! DONT LET GO
You are my sunshine my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey
Precious moments
Derek had me put all our initials on his back... there's a slight tan from it! hahaha
Check out that boat!

Signature Hawaii icon
Just the 3 of us! We can make it if we try! :>
Jocelyn is now 5 months old! She's rolling over, sucking on her toes, she has rice cereal for the 2nd time today, she loves standing and being the center of our lives!
STOP....
Lush greenery!
Check out our ride... and the view
Road to Hana .... intro. We didn't drive all the way but enjoyed what we did see.
Will and JoJo watching a lil Toy Story 2, Wall-E, Iron Giant, or Peter Pan!


Her first swim~ she enjoyed it... no crying just amazed i think. So fun to watch her
Maui said a sweet goodbye to us as we left Saturday night. Such a beautiful sunset. Now, you may be wondering what brought about all these photos... as you'll recall our camera died a true death. Santa came a little early and boy did he give us a treat! We got a beautiful camera! I took 437 photos in 1 week! hahah And that's with me deleting some during the week. I love photography and hope to perfect the art and learn all I can. This camera allows for manual settings and so I can someday really manipulate my images. So extactic about this! Thank you, Santa!!!! We promise to repay with photos of Jocleyn!
