Boogie boarding

Day 2-3

The past couple of days we have been at the hotel hanging out by the pool. Yesterday afternoon we went to a little beach. The kids seemed to like the change. I think we are going to go to a different beach today that has more stuff to do. I am going to post a video later today.

Day 1

We made it:) It was a long day of traveling but we seemed to survive. We got up this morning at 430am, to fly out at 6am. Good thing my children have at least one trait from me (early risers). They didn't seemed to mind getting up and Connor actually was clapping his hands saying " I am so excited, I'm so excited to go to HAWAII, is Nana there?" Needless to say we traveled for 8 hrs and due to the time change we still got here at 11:30am, which was really nice. We were able to lay out by the pool and to check parts of the hotel out.

Here are some pictures of the place we are staying. I would recommend this place in a HEARTBEAT! It is beautiful, and has everything you have ever wanted at a hotel. It has an area for the kids to dig in sand with their own pool that has a sand bottom and a waterfall. It also has a water slide, and I am pretty sure it has at least 3 regular pools as well. MOM, I think I have found where we will be going on our next family vaca!

Till tomorrow:)

Almost DONE

This will be a short post. I am actually supposed to be working on my finals right now, but I had to take a little break (which means: Checking Facebook and updating myself on everyone else's life via the blogging world).  So needless to say I figured most everyone who lives out of the area probably thinks I am pretty lame. Well Honestly I would have to agree with you, most of the time.

Lately my life has been consumed with school. I have one more week and I will be done!! I graduate next Saturday. The following day we leave for Hawaii, with Mikey's family. I am not sure which one I am more excited for, Hawaii or graduation:)

The boys are doing good. Connor will be three in a couple weeks, and will be going to actual preschool next semester. Lucas is getting big and loves to be right in the mist of everything. He is definitely still a mama's boy and longs for me to be by his side. I wish I had more recent pictures of the boys, but due to my school schedule and trying to work a little bit in between, I haven't touched my camera in at least a month:( How Sad. I am hoping to take lots of pictures on my break, and possible take an online class to show me how to really work that bad boy.

Till next time, hopefully I will have pictures!

Baby Shower

Last weekend we went over to Redding to my cousin Jasmine's baby shower. She got a lot of beautiful things and I am sure that Mercedes will have more than enough stuff:) Well I decided to bring my camera, and had hoped that I could get some more practice with it.

Needless to say I have over 350 pictures, for any of you that are my friends on facebook, this post might not be very exciting for you, I already uploaded them on there. Anyway here are a few of my favorites....

This one was taken by Monica.

This one was pretty dark on one side, so I enhanced and and it made that same side a little washed out.

This one was taking by Monica too.

Jasmine and her beautiful crib, she has four weeks left and she is having a girl.

Bowdy Bear

P. S I have no idea why my text at the top has a line through it and is underlined. Sorry I seem to be having difficulty with posting tonight.

A Sunny day

 Last week when Mikey went to the auction he bought Connor and Teegin a pair of training wheels for Jake's old motorcycle. They were thrilled. He put them on the bike today and they rode around the neighborhood. 

 

 

 

 

I love this picture of the boys. They look like they are having a conversation. Maybe they are talking about riding...? Here is Lucas getting in on some of the action.

 

 

Sorry for the picture overload. I just got another camera, and I am having a lot of fun playing around with it. I think I took almost 100 pictures in about an hour. I just need to figure all the settings out now. 

Stolen

A few weeks ago Mikey and his brothers went to a super cross race in San Fransisco. So Natalie and I hung out at Sheril's house during the day. That night we went to dinner at Ronata's Creperie in Arcata, YUM. We stayed up till 1 in the morning watched a movie and talked. It was a really fun night. The next morning NOT so fun. I came home to find my clothes everywhere, my tv face down on the floor in the hallway, my night stand was gone through, my computer gone, my new camera missing, video camera gone...

At first when I walked in I thought "did we have an earthquake?" It didn't even cross my mind that someone would come into my house and take my things. I felt violated and really weird. I am really thankful that I didn't get inspired to stay home that night. I am  a wimp and I never stay home without Mikey. I couldn't have imagined being home in the middle of the night and someone coming into my home. I would have freaked out and I don't think I would be able to be home alone at ALL. 

The reason for the lack of post has had to do with no computer. I got a computer on friday and now I need to replace my camera. Thank goodness for insurance. All of the things that got stolen were all gifts and that makes it harder and even more annoying that I have to buy everything that was given to me in the first place:(
