A Joyful Life: Maui and a (VERY) Belated Happy 30th Birthday Andy!

We had an awesome opportunity at the end of May to go to Maui with Andy's family. We were planning on going with them for a while, and when we all looked at the possible dates, it made sense to go during that week for everyone, which made for an awesome 30th birthday for Andy! These are some of the fun things we got to do that week!

Beach Time

Daddy and Uncle Ryan had fun burying Noah in the sand.

Pool Time

So relaxing...

Andy's 30th Birthday

30 balloons decorating our home away from home, each with a picture of Andy on his birthdays through the years.

Beautiful sisters, Andy's mom Heidie and his Aunt Sue who came from Florida!

Andy's birthday present: a scrapbook with a letter from all of us, filled with funny stories, memories, and reasons why he's loved.

Posing with the birthday boy.

Andy's other gift from his family: he got to go parasailing!

Luau

We were so proud of Noah - he got up there in front of everyone (along with his cousin Vivian and Uncle Eric) and learned to do the hula!!

Other Fun Pictures

Noah's first lava flow! ;)

Noah got so many compliments on this hat, and the cool thing is I got this on my first mission trip down to Guatemala when I was 16, and now my son is wearing it! Oh, and he had a lot of fun feeding the fish! :-)
