Hawaii in Detail

For the full-detailed report and many more pictures of our Hawaii trip...check out the Cochran Family website (on the right) Kerri is a much better photographer than I will ever be!

More Hawaii Pics

Our last night in Maui we went to a luai. The food was interesting, and the dancing was amazing. If only I could shake my hips like that!

ALOHA!

Aloha from Hawaii! Our trip has been nothing short of fabulous! Here are few pictures to make you jealous! I will try to post more as the trip continues.


At the airport, waiting with excitement!



All of us (Jeremy & Kerri with us) at arrival of our villa.

TRIPS

Ethan's new found (and very expensive) love is flying on airplanes. Yesterday I was explaining to him that mommy and daddy are going on a trip. I told him he would get to stay and play at Nona & Pappy's house while we were gone, but we promised to come back and get him. He quickly agreed until he realized we were going on a plane trip without him. This was very upseting to him until I explained that we would be going on another plane trip very soon with him (thank goodness we have another trip planned).

He loves everything about flying...rolling his "Cars" suitcase like all the other adults, boarding, snacks on the plane, and looking out the window. He is constantly talking about riding on a plane. Last month, I had a business conference in Florida. So, Ethan came with us on the trip. Here are some pictures of his adventures.

Some Random Moments

Nate and I took Ethan to play golf one afternoon. He is very interested in golf!

One of my favorite pictures of him!

The first day of school...I can't believe we had enough time for pictures.

Our messy peanut butter day! The boys love PBJ!

Creative Fun

This summer we have really been trying to think outside the box for some of our fun activities. Now that the boys are old enough to play (or should I say...get into mischief) together, they have found some interesting things to do. The picture below is a frog they found in the backyard. They had a blast...I'm just not sure the frog thought the same!

Ethan "skating" in the coke boxes.

This is when we were stuck at home with the stomach bug (which we enjoyed for four weeks this summer...I would never wish that on anyone!!) That is why they are both in diapers...which is funny since they are wearing the same size! And yes, that is CD cases all over the floor, and they are in the entertainment center!

Ethan helped me make brownies one day, and Lathan helped with the tasting!

Cruise in Review

My wonderful husband, (who works very very hard) won a cruise in July through Toyota! We were both thrilled when we found out. I was completely looking forward to going, but sad to leave the boys for almost a whole week. Of course, they were in good hands and were fine. While on the trip, we went to Atlantis, enjoyed reading on the deck, participated in Bingo (which we almost won), saw several shows, relaxed in the spa, and got lots of needed rest.


This is Atlantis in the Bahamas. We spent one day enjoying the facilities. You could really get lost...it is very very big. While waiting in line for one of the water rides, we ran into a family from College Station. Small world, huh? And just for all who are curious....the suite across the towers goes for $100,000 per night with "only" (as they stated on our tour) a four night minimum stay. Nate had to close my mouth after I heard that!

Our dinner was usually during sunset... so during our last evening, we decided to watch the sunset and eat later. The clouds blocked the view of a true sunset, but we loved every moment of it.
