Family Pics by Aaria Photography

Our awesome friend, Jana Ale offered to take our family pictures a few weeks ago and they turned out amazing! Her photography business is called Aaria Photography and I highly recommend her, she makes you feel comfortable and is really good at taking still pictures but also somehow captured a ton of sweet candid moments! I love them and I'm glad that we were able to take some before we left Hawaii. Thanks Jana, we love you! Here are a few of my favs..

Ok...I know that was a lot!

Christmas Break

Honestly, I started writing our whole story about how we had to fly standby from Honolulu to Salt Lake and I got so frustrated writing out that I had to quit! It was like I was re-living it again! No thank you. So the abbreviated version goes like this: We were trapped in the Honolulu airport for about 5 days (sleeping nights at Ka'i's Aunty's house) and my brother Zack bought us a ticket to Kauai just so we could get to the mainland were we figured it would be easier to get on a plane. Nope. Still no luck and ended up renting a car and drove from LA to Vegas where we missed our plane by literally 1 minute. SO FRUSTRATING. We were planning on staying the night there and trying the flight in the morning which also looked promising but they decided to implement this new rule where standbys could no longer fly out on weekends. Really? So then we rented another car and drove the rest of the way to Orem. Making the whole trip about a week long--We started trying to get out the evening of Friday the 14th and arriving the morning of Friday the 21st. Needless to say Elsie was quite the little trooper. We also celebrated our 2nd Anniversary in the Honolulu airport! Wahoo!
