Finish Soon!!

Soo I posted about our last 3 days in Hawaii. My computers being suprer slow, it took almost 2 hrs just for that so Ill post about the first 3 days later.. Enjoy!!

Friday in Hawaii

Friday the Fmaily all drove up to North Shore. Its about a 45 min drive. Of course in Hawaii it doesnt seem that long because its all gorgeous and a scenic drive so we all enjoyed it. We hit up the Famous Mosumotos Shave Ice. I thought, really how differenct can shave ice get, but it Was better. The ice and flavor was different. YOu can add ice cream and sugar coated beans. Super Yummy. Even Kadence had her somee. After that was the stop at Pearl Harbor, Im horrible and even though I did want to go. When we first got there I was kinda like> Ugh. But once we got to walk thorugh the huge ships that these men lived on it was really interesting. The small spaces the lived in and kept their things had to be tough. See the picture were my kids are on the bed? Well there was one above and one below. Lined in a room very cramped with about 30 beds. Has sucky!! Im am very htankful for the men who serve our country. After that we headed to Sharks Cove (before we left I was checking places I wanted t ogo and this was one of them) It ended up being a place were Pete went as a kid. It said it was good for kids to snorkel because its shallow. But its also tiny tide pool with little crabs and fishes all over.



We saw TONS and the kids LOVEd every minute of it. It was really pretty to. We saw a whale out a distance and just for a minute but it was pretty neat.

Saturday in Hawaii

<










Saturday morning we headed up to Turtle Bay (Pete, the Kids, and I got a room one night here, while the rest the family stayed at the Other Hotel)Pete wanted to make sure he went here because he has memories going with his Dad. We glad we did. This part of the island was not city at all. Lots of pretty beaches, especially the one the Hotel is on. We snorkled right outside our Hotel room. All the family came down with us Saturday morning to swim. The kids had a blast and Pete and I had lots of fun snorkeling together. I didnt go out as far as he would of liked. I have a small fear of the ocean so I was surprised I even did what I did. Only because the water was clear =). After a long water day. The family headed out and we headed to the room to shower and off to the buffet. I stuffed my face with all the King Crabs legs I wanted. All 3 kids conked out before their food even hit the table.

We were hilarious getting back to the room and got lots of stares with 3 sleeping babies. We spent the night there. I HIGHLY reccommend this resort if anyone planning on Oahu. We wished we were there longer.

Sunday in Hawaii

Sunday was our last day in Hawaii. We were dreading heading home. Unfortunately the side of the Island we were on was rainy and cloudy (Turtle Bay , were we had planned to spend some more time almone just our small family) So we decided to drive slowly back down south shore to meet up with the family and check out a few more beaches along the way.

(Kadence and I in Matching dresses)

We made a few stops, one being the temple. Ive seen pictures but it was still fun to stop by. The picture is just of the tmple and not of the family. I was in a sun dress and bathing suit and felt a little out of place so it was a quick stop. We then met of with the family and did a little shopping. The boys got necklaces with a wooden paddle with their pappas initial engraged on it. After we headed to the beach to get some pictures of Kadence in her $3- Hula outfit.
She was a hit> people were Lovin on her and asking if they could take pictures. You have to admit, its stinking cute! After swimming for a few hours it was time for dinenr at the Yard House. Jaiden even tried some muscle. It must have been finger licking good cause thats exactly what he was doing =).
Then we said our goodbyes and headed off.

We hoped all kids would stay awake at least until we boarded but no such luck .Jaiden was out at the rcar rental. Thankfully we got all the luggaged loaded> with Pete taking a few trips back and forth. One more kid and airplane is close to inpossible. Jaiden managed to walk onboard and is glad he did.. He peeked in at the pilot and the Pilot let him come on up. He sat in his chair and all. I told him how cool that was cause mostly when you in the pilots seat its one not being used anymore. He was pretty excited!

Easter Hunt!!

My boys did an Egg hunt earlier with the ward but here pictures with my Family Saturday during conference. My family always gets together conference weekends and the kids all have a blast, but the Easter Egg Hunt was just a plus of course.

1ST Baby 9 weeks

Alisha has been pregant 

Not familiar with Babies!!

Ive just been laughing lately when we go out to eat as a family because weve been gettign this same thing happening to us and It too funny. One day I order a root beer and Kadence tiny self is in the high chair next to me. The woman waitress proceeds to ask me what I would like to drink. I thought maybe she didnt hear me.. But then said she thought to root beer was for Kadence (WHAT???, this was when Kadence was like 6 months old). Then weve had numerous times now were they'll make a comments like what weould she like to eat or oh, nothing for the little one. Or give her a paper and crayons to color with (which is a LITTLE more realistic). I just have to laugh because its rarely that they've just been nice by asking, its almost as though they think were wrong or rude for not ordering her. Soo funny. I just am surprised by the MANY people who just arent familiar with babies. I know untill your a mom you may not know that much.. but really> a 6 month old with ROOT BEER. come on people. I just laugh to Pete as they walk away.

Startin Trouble!

Soo a few days ago Petes mom and out family went to the Meadows Mall. Inside they have a play area for the kids to run aorund... which I think is awesome.. just like town square. Anyways, Pete and his mom walked off to look around and stood out watching my kids play. There was this one little boy right in front of me who I watched spit on 2 kids (eewww!! - I was hoping it was his siblings) So I kept watching him> he looked like a little punk, and he better not spit on my kids. Soo then he of course starts playing with Jaiden. At first hes rough and I assume Jaidens going to get mad >> But thats how boys play, especially Jaiden. So for a while Jaiden plays with him and I call Jaiden over. I told him if your having fun playing rough thats fine BUT if you dont want to anymore or he gets too rough then say something or come to me. Anyways this goes on them just being fine for a while. This boys mom has to step in a few times to stop him with other kids (she did less than I thought she should have and a little too much texting) but eventually this kids grabs Jaidens arms and starts swinging him around and twisting his arms, about to hurt him, I was about to step in just as Jaiden throws up his arms (like fold across his face, and shoves the boy off him. THATS RIGHT. I know some of you moms might not think thats something to be proud of. But im was!! Im glad that Jaiden stood up for himself and then walked away before getting into it more. The boys mom looked at me and I thought !?!? Really?!?! your kid has been a problem for like 30 min, you should be surprised someone else didnt do somehting sooner. Pete came back and I told him, he was almost upset with Jaiden untill I told him all about this boy>> and then one second later he was picking on some little girl. Good for you Jaiden for sticking up for yourself, but trying to play with the punk kid noone else wanted to play with =)

Dentist

Soo Jaiden has been complaining about his teeth hurting and now we have dental insurance so I took the boys for cleanings and X-rays!! My poo child> Jaiden has 7>> yes.. thats right> 7 cavites (I dont even think ive have that thought out my life, the doctor said some people just have really bad teeth no matter how much you brush =( and Rylan has 2 teeny ones. So Jaiden obviously needs to split those appointments into 2 and then one for Rylan. 3 visits total> yes, im breaking it down for a reason. So now they have this new thing were they gas the kids and there half out of it so its better for them and the dentist> NICE right, Oh except for the fact that insurance doesnt cover it and between those 3 visits that alone was going to cost me $525 WHAT> im paying $1000 dollars for my toddlers horrible teeth already. So I started thinking about it and thought> Ok what if I get the Dentist to do it without and I BRIBE (OH YEA.. MY FAVORITE) my children that if they can make it through with just the shot they get to pick out a good toy (about $30) and Ill save a butt load of money (eh, $500>> but that enough for me). So I did it. Rylan made it though his first shots in the mouth and 2 tiny but not so fun cavities. He cried during the shots but did rather well. The first cavity took literally like 1 min the drill and fill, and the 2nd one the dentist started putting in clamps and stuff Rylan DID NOT like>> thatnkfully I was able to talk him down from his freaking out and we got through it. Rylan was NOT liking the numbing feeling that took a while to fade off but he was super excited for his Buzz light year wings. Jaiden hoepfully will get through his next week and the following.

9 months!

Kadence is now 9 months old! I cant believe how big shes gotten. Today she was suppose to go for her shots but yesterday she was sick so I swapped for a sick appt. Shes got a ear infection and a simple cold. She 19 1/2 lbs.

-Kadens=ce still wont crawl>> Shes mastered rolling and can get all over so I think she'll be waiting a while longer. (Fine by me =) )
- She now say dada and hi (while she waves her hand> Cutest ever)
-She loves her food and snacks
-She now can pick up teeny things but its so adorable, she doesnt use her whole hand to grab, she pokes out her pointer finger and touches whatever it is she wants, and drags it back to her hand to grip.
-She is NOT a cuddler. Notice I have a picture of her laying on me, I MADE pete take one just so I have one. Ever since she was tiny she gets so mad if you lay her on your chest. At church its horrible because she wont go to sleep with me holding her. My boys were huge cuddlers so this is a change>> and I DONT LIKE IT!!
-She wakes up extremely happy. If you pick her up while in a dead sleep shell start smiling before opening her eyes.
-She loves being spoiled!


Oh yea!! cant forget this new thing>> She throw little fits. If shes sitting on the ground and you leave, or she tired or whatever.. she put her head to the ground between her knees with her little body folded in half and just cry like that.

WE LOVE HER!

Lots of Rain!!

Its been raining alot here lately.. the boys are loving it. I love it (except for the part the my housebroken dog decides he doesnt want to go out IN THE RAIN to potty so he does it inside. They went out one day while Rylans still in his Pjs (Check out his cute tiny butt... its so cute in pajamas)

P90x

So Pete and I are jumping on the banwagon with so many of you out there doing P90X. We have friends who got us the cds months ago and we did 1 or 2 workouts and quit. Well, Im going to Hawaii in 2 months so Im getting motivated. Today will be our 2 day WOOHOO right. I know many more to go and I hope we stick to it.. but this post isnt about us. Its about my boys (especially Jaiden) who LIKES to do workout videos. He stuck with me for about the first 20 minutes of Plymetrics =) haha. Swinging his short legs over the stool and all. Too stinking cute. He'll randomly be laying on the floor and start doing crunches. Hes soo funny. I had to put a few pictures up. Disregard me in the pics =)
