Playing Catch up... again....

So, the new-ness and excitement of "the blog" has apparently worn off... I missed Christmas and all of January. Haha! Here's a catch up. Christmas was great. We all had fun and the kids got what they wanted the most from Santa. I was really proud of them, they only asked for one thing this year. Very do-able.. :) So they had a great time too. After Christmas Clayton and I were able to go on an amazing trip to Oahu, Hawaii. It was unbelievable, the best trip of my life! We went to the beach, Polynesian Cultural Center, a Swap Meet, USS Arizona Memorial, Hanauma Bay, and Parasailing along Waikiki's Coast at 1200 ft!!! Very exciting! Ok about snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, (highly recommended) we didn't get to see turtles that day, the surf was a little too rough, but we saw a huge octopus, a cuttle fish that LIT UP, tons of beautiful fish in all kinds of colors and a big, I had no idea how big they were, PUFFER FISH! It was sooooo cool. The only thing that would have made it better was if we were able to see at least one turtle! Oh well, maybe next time. There WILL be a next time! haha!~ When I got back, because Clayton had to stay for work, Parker had a birthday! So I am now the mother of a FIVE year old! I can't believe how the time has flown! He is such a smart kid and he helps me so much around the house with everything. He is a really great kid. So he had a fun birthday, and amidst all of that we had my Grandma over for a visit and had a great time. We were able to go to the Children's Museum at the Gateway, and the Museum of Ancient Life, or Dinosaur Museum to my kids. :) It was a really fun, really busy month. All of that and another kid on the way, whew.... We have an ultrasound scheduled for Tues the 3rd to try and find out why I am measuring five weeks ahead of where I should be!! Yikes. Let your imagination run with that! I couldn't wait two more months to see what's going on. I have had enough with my imagination and it's starting to freak me out! :) So hopefully we can get this cleared up!! Anyway- off to fix dinner for the kiddos. Enjoy the pics......

Kailua, THE BEST BEACH I have EVER been to!

This is Hanauma Bay. Where we snorkeled.
