One Last getaway before Baby arrives!

I want to start this by saying THANK YOU to Mimi and Papa for so lovingly caring for our boys while we were away...they had soo much fun and already miss you...we know we couldnt take trips like this without you!!


Kris and I had an AMAZING 4 day weekend in Pebble Beach. We actually honeymooned there but Kris has never golfed the course. He was thrilled to golf with a friend and also the CEO of his company...and to shoot really well to top off the day. I myself enjoyed of course relaxing in the spa and had a few much needed maternity spa treatments. (my back has been killing me this time!) I wish I could put into words how unbelieveably beautiful PB is and the weather was perfect.

Saturday night we went to a dinner with some people from Kris's company and not knowing the name of it found ourselves at Fandango's a great restaurant that we had eaten at the first night of our honeymoon. It was fun for us to return..and a nice surprise!

Pre- Easter Festivities

We had such a fun day getting ready for Easter. We walked to the park by our house where they have a fun easter hunt/party for the kids every year. It was Carsons first time, he found a bag of gummy bears and just kept saying "open..open" and wouldn't pick up anything else..so, I just started picking up for him. Gavin and Collin dyed Easter eggs and decorated their easter rabbit hutch ( like a gingerbread house). It was a beautiful day and we spent a lot of time in the yard planting a few flowers..every boy's favorite activity because it involves so much dirt!

Hawaii

Well, As I started to post pictures from Hawaii, I realized how few pictures we really took! I guess we were having too much fun. Our trip to Turtle Bay was wonderful! Starting with the flights , everyone (ok...especially me) was very worried about this part of the trip. Kris was sweet enough to put Carson and I in First class, it was soo comfortable for me and my big belly, swollen feet, aching back and not to mention serious flight anxiety.. etc. The fam was in the row behind us and a big THANK YOU to Mimi for changing 2 dirty dipers in the tiny plane bathroom..not an easy task! We were so grateful to land in beautiful Hawaii. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time just lounging and letting the boys play. Kris and I went snorkeling and saw some sea turtles...hmmm..not sure how I felt about this at the time...too close for comfort..but still amazing. Papa and Kris had a great time parasailing and Gavin and Collin loved their private horse back ride along the coast. Kris and I even found time to attend a session at the Laie Temple which was a neat experience...just beautiful. We had a wonderful trip and were sad to leave...Gavin and Collin LOVE Hawaii and even after 8 days there were tears when it was time to go. Cant wait to return!

Soccer

Today was Gavin and Collins last day of soccer, they have really learned a lot and gotten quite good! Carson really wanted to join in on the fun but watched from the sidelines with his own ball. Great job Gavin and Collin!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Yeah, I think we are up and running again! The boys are at such a fun age and really get into holidays..I dont know who is more excited...me or them! The Leprechaun's turned lots of things green in our house and we had a green breakfast and dinner! We even had a surprise visit from Aunt Ashley! We did really miss our Daddy who was in San Francisco though!

We're off!

We are off to Hawaii!! We are so excited to have Mimi and Papa going with us! Hopefully when we return I will be able to load pics to my computer....hopefully....Aloha!

Just Feeling Grateful

Today I am feeling especially Grateful for my sweet husband who is always so positive and can always help me to see the bright side of a situation and almost always make me laugh in the process. When I need him he will drop everything to help me. (today :) He is a wonderful father and priesthood holder and spends much quality time with our boys and they love spending time with him...they Adore him! ( as do I!) Kris, Thank you for all you do to make me happy and make my life easier...and keeping me laughing all along the way, I soo appreciate you!...Love you babe~
