go to hawaii
and get mark to photograph you. because he's amazing. one of the nicest, coolest guys you'll meet who is also really good at what he does.
i adore this family of my sister's and i want to cry these are so great. those kids! that water! those kids!
i wish i had been there to jump in, fully clothed, with them. i lived in hawaii my junior year of college and would have stayed longer if it hadn't been for chip waiting for me on the mainland. it worked out well for me (i still like chip a lot), but it really has been too long since i've tasted that salt water and breathed in the plumeria. it has also been too long since i laughed with mark and his beautiful and passionate wife patria ruth. . . so go. for me. swim, lay on the beach, sail, surf, be photographed, drink fresh coconut milk, watch the sun rise and set and be happy. then tell me all about it so i can live vicariously through you. and then take it a step further and show me the pictures that mark took; test my will power. . . because there is a little part of me that will want to implode with envy on the inside.

I was seriously loving these pictures when I saw them too, I love love loved them. Is that the patria that lived here for a bit a few years ago? I met her and her daughter at one of Erins b-day parties I think. I didn't realize that this is who that was... does that make sense? Awesome photos. Someday I will go to Hawaii...sigh...
yep, they still look cute over here. Hawaii is amazing, amazing to visit, I'm sure even more amazing to live for a while. So much more depth than we got to experience in 2 weeks. I wish I could live everywhere.
Such amazing pictures. Sarah has a beautiful family. Jealous!
beautiful pictures!! all 5 of my siblings went to BYUH - basically everyone but me. really seems like the right way to do college.
**i'm trying to talk bryan into going to maui - you guys interested?
pam- yes. i'm always interested. chip thinks we should do europe first, while we are on the east coast and all- you interested in touring with chip again??
jeanie- yes, that is the same patria!
AWESOME pics! I haven't been to Hawaii yet, but I've also wanted to. Trav. works with a family that is from Hawaii and they make me want to go even more.
oh wow those are amazing. Katie I'll live vicariously and die with envy right there with you. it's been too long!!
Such a fun post, thanks Katie! I totally remember chatting with Jeanie at that birthday party, I was so excited to meet one of Katie's cool sisters. How do you guys stand being away from each other? (: Sarah, Jeanie, Katie - you guys are so awesome! I love how all of you are brilliant, creative and gorgeous! It was fun to see your parents too. Luv, Patria
AMAZING! I just went on Mark's blog and I'm DYING. His shots are amazing but those of your sister and fam are seriously the best. Wow. A million wows. You have to go out there too with your brood. Maybe stop by the quiet house for old time's sake.
Hey love reading your blog. Maryann told me a few months ago where to find you and have loved catching up on what you are up to. One of my sisters wanted to know what Bobby was up to, and if any of your sisters have blogs. take care
