Hoping to go into Labor...

One of my good friends here in Hawaii went into labor after hiking this trail so I thought it was worth a try. Ha ha, it didn't work for me but it was still fun to attempt. Here I am at 39 weeks and yes, most people looked at me like I was crazy as we hiked.
To be together with my mom and sisters it was such a treat. Being that I am in Hawaii, Hilary in Seattle, and my mom and Heather in Arizona the chances of us all being in the same place is rare. I love that they all sacrificed so much, (and their amazing husbands), so we could all be together. The time with them was so special and something I will remember forever. I wish my brother could have made it here too, and of course his wife and my sisters husbands, but that is really asking for a miracle. :)
This picture was taken at the top of the hike we went on. It really is a beautiful view up top. I didn't take many other pictures while my sisters and mom were in town so I thought I would post some of the things we did so I can look back and remember.
After picking up my mom and Hilary we hit Pearl Harbor.
The first night Hilary and my mom were here we went to the beach and it was crazy windy which just made us laugh. Which, by the way, the weather was super lame while my family was here. Definitely a major bummer but something out of our control of course.
My mom and Hilary hiked Maunawili Falls while I taught preschool at my house.
We picked Heather and Joslyn up at the airport and that night us girls went out to dinner in Waikiki. So fun to be without kiddos!
We went to the temple and Polynesian Cultural Center followed by a girls night out at my friends house--made bows.
My mom and sisters hit up the swap meet for some Hawaiian treasures.
Hiked Mokapu
Ate really delicious food prepared by my amazing family! Yum and thanks a ton!
Bennett was born and we had a birthday party! So special to have family here to celebrate.
Thanks for all your help with the girls! We are so lucky to have so much support. I loved having you guys here to do so much for us. Heth, thanks for dying my hair for me too...I am due for another round. :)

Now that Bennett is here, the girls seem so grown up to me. I can't believe Elli will turn 5 this summer! Man, I love this girl. She has made the transition to three so great. She had a hard time the first two weeks but has been awesome other than that.
The girls and their crazy smiles. I have yet to get a picture of them both smiling real smiles. :)
Brinlyn LOVES ducks. One day she wanted to take her nap in her duck costume. She slept the whole nap and woke up as cute as ever!
Brinlyn has grown up so much too and has been pretty easy as we transitioned to three. She knows what she wants but melts my heart at the same time. She still has her "passy and blankie". She has her occasional melt downs mostly in public, still pulls hair, hits and whatever else, but she can also be the sweetest friend. I love this girl!
