Catching up

Warning, Warning, this is the longest post ever...And it only covers October!

Hawaii 2010
We were so excited to be off to Hawaii!! We planned to go for... "anniversary, post graduation,pre baby (no this is not an announcement), and probably never have the money to do it again type of vacation!"



This was our view when we woke up our first morning in Hawaii. So so beautiful





Oh my goodness, I am not even exaggerating when I say this was the best breakfast I have ever eatin. The fruit was amazing and I could have eatin at least 10 pastries! It was delicious and so fresh.


Cute little Hawaiian lady playing and singing in the hotel lobby

Hanauma Bay


Waimea Falls







We had such a blast going parasailing. I'll admit I was so nervous, but it was so much fun!













Beach Day




We had a great idea to rent scooters for the day....



.........but not even 5 minutes after we rented them, I crashed. Oh boy did I feel foolish. Man did it hurt. Luckily it happened the day before we went home and not at the begining of our trip.




But the day ended okay. After iceing my arm/legs for a bit we went out riding for the day.


North Shore

Matsumotos in Haleiwa had the best snow cones with ice cream. They were fun and delicous


Chad wanted to prove that he could climb a tree. Not to bad!

The sunset's in Hawaii are amazing. We just sat on the beach and watched them almost every night.




These aren't the clearest pictures, but here are the fields of pineapples. There were acres and acres of land just for growing pineapple. It was amazing.


Just posing


This is not the most flattering picture of us, but here we are on the airplane leaving Hawaii. Believe me, we did not want to go home yet.


Family Pictures
We had our family pictures taken with Chad's family. All were there except Derek who is serving a mission in Alabama as well as Jared, some how we will photoshop him into the picture, once that's done, I'll post a pic of the whole family. For now here is our little family.





Making sugar cookies, We planned to carve pumpkins as well but chad didn't feel that it was necessary. I was pretty bummed. The cookies turned out great though.




Rascal eating his sugar cookie. (we took away most of it, it would have made him sick) He looked so cute!


Bunco Baby
I was in charge of Bunco for October (my favorite month)so all these sweet lady's came to my house where we played, yelled, ate, and won prizes. It was great. I am so grateful for all these fun amazing women whome I get to play with!













Birthday Boy

It was Chad's Birthday on October 26th. We kept it simple by just going out to eat. Chad has mentioned to me several times that he'd like to go to Red Lobster, but we had never gone in the five years we've been together. So surprise....That's where i took him for his birthday. He loved it! Me on the other hand, I asked the waitress what she would recommend for someone who doesn't like sea food and she looked at me like i was crazy!


This drink was amazing


Chad has been wanting these headphones for a long time. They are pretty amazing, they have great sound and most of the time I don't have to hear the noise.
