SOLD!!

2009-08-21T18:25:00.000-07:00

That is what we want to hear! We are currently in the mist of tiring to sell our home is this economy... "good luck." That's what people keep saying and i agree. Pros and Cons... Our house has to be clean at all times... yeah can't think of anything else. But anyway wish us luck!

So I wish I could...DANCE!!

2009-08-05T21:24:00.001-07:00

So after years of dance classes and trying out for the dance team and soooo...not making it I have lived through this show. I have thought that everyone in the top 8 have been really good and now that its down to 4, its stressing me out. But now that we have Kaydince the dream lives on, ha ha! Hopefully she has the same desire i have but also the capability. This is my favorite dance i think so far its a though one but it makes me cry every time!

She is so... funny, happy, winy, cute, smart, and the list could go on. She has such a personality! We are so blessed to have her in our family and home!

Days four, five, & six!!

2009-03-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

FOUR!! North Shore, it was kinda cold and way windy as you can tell the waves are huge!!

theres a spot you can look at the sea turtles but can't go past some ropes.

friday night we went to a graduation of one of edee and kyles program... there was a massage bed... she is so funny!!

Five!! Downtown Waikiki!!

we shopped and walked and got ice cream!!

this tree has the roots growning out of the branches out of the ground

had to stop to see the dog,

it was tring to say hi with his pawn and scared her.

SIX!! The gardens for brunch, and the beach!!

This beach had the best wheather the best sand and water!! It was awesome!!

Day Three!!

2009-03-12T17:50:00.000-07:00

Today we got up around 6:30 am like usual, then we went to Pearl Harbor this morning. I wasn't quit expecting what i felt when we got there. I don't know what is was expecting though, just another tourist attraction I guess. We got to the main visitors center, its all free but they give you tickets for a group. As a group you watch a movie about what was happening right before and right after the attack plus obviously during. Then you get onto a ferry and ride out to the memorial of the USS Arizona... the ship sank in shallow water and parts of the top of it are still pointing out of the water. The memorial is built over the ship, when you get off the ferry you are able to walk on a small platform of "the" ship but they ask you to walk quick and not stop to take pictures on it... then you go up to the structure where you can look down into the water and see the ship. There is also a large wall that has all the names of the men that died. It was such an emotional feeling being "right there" and seeing those names... given how they died... your heart goes out to them. For me it was a very thankful and greatful feeling not only for those that lost there lives for this country protecting it, but also for my family... how greatful i am for Kevin & Kaydince.

Day two!

2009-03-12T01:36:00.000-07:00

We went to a swap meet this morning... then we went snorkeling with some fish and turtles at a bay. The bay is a nature reserve and you pay 5 bucks to get in and the beach is great sand, the water is the best you can get and we had so much fun!!

HAWAII!!

2009-03-11T12:01:00.000-07:00

We have arrived!! After our first flight from Salt lake City, to San Fransisco 3 hour layover and then on to Honolulu we are here! A couple poop diapers, and throw ups later. We hit the ground running... this morning is march 11th we started out going to the beach to show kaydince at 7 am. (time chance 4 hours). So enjoy... we will be posting new pictures to document our trip everyday so watch for them!

look at that curly hair!

MOM! ITS SNOWING!!

Kaydince was so excited to see the snow on Saturday, she didn't like being in it very much but she liked looking at it.

How many times can we get sick!!

2008-12-09T08:57:00.000-08:00

So through the fall we had our share of sickness, but i guess it just gets worse as it gets cold. So, kaydince was sick, then I got it... now she has it again, so do I and most of my family! We just love it so much we don't ever want it to go away! Kevin is also in Texas as we await the decision to move or not to move. After talking to him yesterday the flu has hit, and I hope it doesn't come back with him on Friday! Yaaaahh! Kevin will be home on Friday, it will be the longest week 1/2 ever! We love him and miss him!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO KAYDINCE!!!!!

Health Update

2008-10-09T21:24:00.000-07:00

Monday the second round of stomach surgery came for Kevin. This time a hernia from the previous appendix removal last November. He is doing well, up and moving around small amounts at a time but then lots of sleeping! Which he needs. He works so much, he needed to slow down for one min. Tonight he wasn't so happy... He had fallen asleep on the couch and kaydince stood up next to him to play and apparently thought the tape on his stomach was a toy... I think it scared her a little when he woke up saying "ouch" a little loud. He gave her a hug and made sure she didn't cry but it was funny.

Getting ready for Halloween!

2008-10-02T18:54:00.000-07:00

Since this year is Kaydince's first Halloween, yeah! I have decided to make her "trick or treat" container. So I got some ideas from Roberts and this is what i came up with... it kinda looks like poo but I like to think of chocolate instead. I liked the brown colors better then the black, green, and orange. I think it turned out cute. I think a good idea is to make one of these each year (it has a lid) and store the Halloween costume in it and date it, with a picture so you know what year its from and encase you want to have another child wear it later... plus when kaydince gets old enough she can paint it herself. I don't know, I am trying to make a tradition. I know some day I'll have to get rid of them but to store them and keep them organised in a fun way we might try this.

Kaydince hasn't had real pictures taken of her before so i desided its about time. She did so good!! she smiled and laughed... they turned out so good. The girl there did an awesome job!

The women

2008-09-11T16:30:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to see the movie "the women" it comes out tomorrow. Its one of the movies i have been remotely excited to see, and seeing as though my birthday is on Saturday... I'm going to see it!

Our new car

2008-09-10T13:59:00.000-07:00

Kevin and I have recently purchased a new car. His Jeep Grand Cherokee (RIP) has had a lot of problems the past year or so. Kevin works for a vinyl company driving around to peoples houses and giving them bides on their fences and such. Well that makes having a dependable car for him impossible(way too many miles). So we now have a Toyota Sequoia. It drives great, every time we get in the car to go any ware Kaydince falls asleep. Other then the gas its awesome. Once gas prices go down a little we will be great. We paid an awesome price because everyone is trying to buy little cars and hybrids. Its like they all panicked and in a couple months when gas starts going back down everything will equal out a little. But for those of us that like suv's and couldn't really afford them before, they are now an option. Some people might think its not such a good idea to buy larger cars then you need, or say "why not buy a little crap car pay it off, and so on..." But this was the best option at the time so here we are. I just get so tired of car problems, and having to replace parts.

Kids

2008-09-09T09:38:00.000-07:00

If any of you have kids and know the show "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," you'll know what i'm talking about. I haven't ever been a fan of mickey mouse. Not that I didn't like him, I have always watch The Little Mermad, and other things. Well Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is on the playhouse disney channel in the mornings and my daughter loves it. She is only 9 months old but with her breakfast I'll turn it on. The best thing about it is when mickey comes on the screen and starts singing the opening song she giggles and laughs. She laughed before but only when she wants too. Its fun to watch her grow and to see her personality forming

One crazy time!

2008-09-07T21:06:00.000-07:00

Its funny how you imagine life, "when I grow up." Life comes at you fast, it seems a lot faster these days. My name is Monica I have a 9 month old daughter that lately doesn't want to go to sleep when shes tired and fights it until shes passedout, and husband I love and am so luck to be with. Kevin and I are total opposites pretty much all the time, it works out well most of the time... other then when he is laughing at me when i get so mad and want to scream which in turn make the situation worse. Kevin and i met march of 05, and married December of 05. He is so hansom!!

Well after moving 3 times during our marriage we bought a house October of 06. We both have always wanted a house with a white picket fence and kids. Well can you guess what came next... yes we got a dog. A little Yorkshire terrior named chewy he was awesome until he was stolen out of our yard its still a sensitive subject.

After 9 months to the day of crazy hormones and cravings (you can say "you don't have cravings," well guess what i did!) We were blessed with a beautiful daughter on December 1, 07. she looks like and loves her daddy! She loves me too(she better) but she gets her craziness from me. We have nicknames in our home. Crazy #1, and crazy#2 it changes daily who is who.

She has grown up so fast, her 1st birthday is a couple months away and i can't believe she is crawling up the stairs saying dad-dad, and almost eating toddler food. she is the best baby, even though she is a poo at bedtime she is awesome. She has been summoned to wear a correctional helmet for the shaping of her head, they say it wont be too long before it can come off.

Well with this blog you can enjoy the craziness of our life, please enjoy.
