We walked to the park just 1.5 miles down the road. It was a good walk but Nate and Addison were both tired. I tried carrying Nate but I decided pushing both would be alot easier! Nathan bought me flowers for my birthday.

Obviously Nathans phone takes WAY better pictures than mine. But these are my flowers after they all bloomed.Nate loves holding his sister... I'm not so sure what she thinks about it.We bought a paint set for Nate. He loves to paint, and has painted almost everyday since I he's had them. We are having a blast. The weather is great! We have started going to the pool in the mornings so Nate can get some "Dad Time" in. Nate is missing his dad during the day but we are gettin through it. Addison is growing, she is finally 11lbs. She smiles alot and is a very good baby. I have been scrapbooking and reading some books when I get a second to myself. All in all we are loving our home here in Texas!

The DRIVE!

Well, last friday we packed our car and at 4:30am saturday morning we loaded our kids in the car and took off to Texas. They both were amazing. Nate had cars, books, handy manny tools, coloring books, and FOOD, to keep him occupied. Addison just hungout and only fussed when she was hungry or the sun was in her eyes! It was awesome. We drove all the way to Amarillo Tx and stayed the night there, woke up and left by 8:30am. We drove to Dallas to drop off Ryan Wilder. Once we left there we only had 3 1/2 hours to go. Nate and Addison slept for 2 1/2 hours when we hit a bit of traffic so we had to stop quickly. I was so relieved when we didn't hit the car infront of us...when we got a little bump from behind. The guys following us in our car rear ended us!! AHHH!! Nothing at all happened to the truck but $2500 worth of damage happened to our car. Thank goodness for insurance. Nate is driving around a rental and I have the truck! It has been nice to have the truck this summer. We are going to be able to get things done when I need them done. We are able to go to the park and do other things fun for our family.
Nathan is enjoying managing this summer. He has a fun group of guys to work with. Sales are going good. He was pretty nervous to start up again. But he was able to sell the first home owner he talked to and hasn't stopped yet.
The apartments are super nice. I love them. There is a hot tub and a pool here, which Nate loves. We are loving the warmer weather. Our plans for this next week are to go to the zoo, before it gets HOT, and to go to the park.
We are finally settled. The only thing I am missing is a broom!

HAWAII 2009! SO MUCH FUN!!

All of these pictures are going to be random but Hawaii was so much fun! I am so glad I was able to go. I didn't get in the water a whole lot cause I am a chicken and prego.

This is just all the guys waiting for another wave!! If we would have let them they never would have left the water.

These are different mountains we passed on our drive. In between most of the cracks were beautiful waterfalls.

Just some surfer we were watching! It was awesome!

We went out to lunch and I looked over on the trees and plants and saw huge snails so we moved one to the fence. They played with them for a while while we waited for our food.

SUNBLOCK!! I put it on in the morning before leaving my room, before we left for the beach, at the beach when we got there, and a few times while we were there and i still got fried!!

The temple was closed for construction. I wanted to go through but we couldn't. It was beautiful though!!

All the guys talked about jumping off but some didn't really want to. Then the wives started going and the men that stayed behind felt obligated to go jump! I was funny.

Sunset at Pipeline

We went to Matsumoto for their famous shaved ice. I was good but Nicole Wilder and I thought the snow shack in Rexburg was better! It was crazy how busy it was.

This was our view while we ate lunch and saw huge snails.

At the beach by our house Bryan and Nate opened a coconut and everyone ate it!

Driving in the car!

One of the fire dancers at the poly center.

This is were we stopped for lunch,where the snails were.

USS ARIZONA

Cool trees

The best place to go snorkling they say. I don't enjoy my face in the water so I didn't stay out long enough to say.

More Firedancers

Getting ready to find out where we are staying.

Hunama Bay!

It's a long hike down to the bay to go snorkling.

Waiting for waves.

SICK.

Even worst. EWWW

Just got done seeing the show. The fire dancers were the coolest.

Two seconds later a huge wave came in and washed everyone off the rock but me! Thanks to Doug for holding my intertube so I didn't get washed away, but he cut his toe pretty bad, sorry! That was the only time I was in the water without my tube, scary for me. I hate deep water.

I decided to round up all the wives for a picture cause none of us wanted to get wet. So we stood 5-7 feet away from the water. Sure enough a big wave came in almost knocking us all over. Sorry for getting everyone wet!

Kyle and Melissa, Nate and Me, Ryan and Nicole at the beach by our house!

I wanted to see if i could climb a coconut tree. I CAN!! It was pretty cool, I didn't dare go to high cause if i were to slip I would hit my belly. This is me heading back down. I got over there heads before I went down. I wish I wouldn't have been prego.

Hanging out at the beach, everyone (well most of us) came in for some lunch.

Nate going for the waves!

GO BSU!!

We went to Bosie a few weeks ago to see Nathan and Nicole Kent!! It was so much fun hanging out with old friends again, it made me want to move back to Boise. We played games and watched movies. Nicole and I got our husbands to play CLUE. If anyone knows our husbands CLUE is not one of the games they like to play but we made them anyways, it was pretty fun. We went to a Boise State football game!! It was so much fun, I miss going to games!

It was freezing cold but we had tonz of fun. It was so good to see our friends!! Miss ya Nate and Nicole, we need to get together more often!!
