3!

For your information: My eggo is prego! Yes- we will have 3 little monkeys! We are excited and when I think about it real hard maybe just a tiny bit nervous. But we feel very happy and grateful that we will be having another one.

This little cake is how I told my side of the family that I am pregnant. I felt sorry for the little teenage boy that had to decorate this cake for me. He looked at me like I was psycho. It probably didn't help that I couldn't stop laughing.

FAQ (frequently asked questions)

Do you want a boy or a girl?
- Honestly we really don't care. I am glad we have one of each, and I can see the benefits of either.

Are you sick?
-A little. More than my other two. I have found I am sick when I am anxious about something or a little stressed. So I am trying to be laid back about stuff as much as I can.

Are you tired?
-Yes. Some from the pregnancy and some from having two small kids and being the primary pres. Is my house nasty? YES! It is hard to keep up on normally, but feeling the way I do has made it a little worse. My plan is to really clean it good tomorrow. Wish me luck!

When are you due?
-July 3. My little patriotic baby.

What are you going to name it?
-Choosing a name is hard. We don't talk too much about it until we know what it is. We don't want to come up with two names when we only need one.

Kauai #3

Here is Trent really happy because he is on a helicopter. We decided to splurge and Trent, Scott, Kami, my parents, and I all went on a helicopter around the island. It really was worth the expense to see all the beautiful places on the island that you can't see unless you are in the air.

Here is a picture from the helicopter of The Naapali Coast
Another view from the helicopter.
This is the little shuttle we took to the airport for the helicopter ride. This was after it was over. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit freaked out at first on that helicopter. I was in the middle in the front, next to our pilot. Once they strapped me in I thought I was going to have a panic attack. I know- I'm messed up. I worked myself through it. The pilot helped because he had one of the funkiest most soothing voices I have ever heard. It was sort-of annoying sounding- but relaxing at the same time. We really should have recorded it. This picture of us on the shuttle was taken while we were having a good laugh about our pilot's weird voice.

This is at Shipwreck Beach. It was really pretty. We had climbed this really big cliff- that is where the picture was taken.

Kipu Falls. That is Trent swinging from a rope swing. It was about a 30 foot drop. He loved it.

That sums up a lot of what we did on our trip. It was a beautiful island. One of the most beautiful places I have seen.

Kauai

This is post #2 of our trip. Here are a few photos:

This is the kitchen in the condo we stayed at.

The Family Room.
Our Bathroom.
This is our bedroom. We all really enjoyed staying there. There was also another room and bathroom in our condo. My family rented two condos.

Wailua Falls. The pictures don't quite capture the actual beauty of this island.

Roosters just wander around wild all over the place in Kauai.

Trent imitating the great 80's flick Karate Kid.

This was taken at Smith's Luau.

Jo Jo's Shave Ice (no I didn't spell that wrong- they don't call it "shaved"). I got a tropical fruit one with macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom. Pretty tasty.

Since my mom will disown me and I have had a few requests for a picture of her surfing- here is a compromise. This was taken right after she fell off. :) Notice everyone laughing. There was even a couple on the beach that watched the whole thing and were quite entertained by it.

At the dinner part of the Luau. We ate so much we were sick.

We're Back!

Trent and I just got back from my sister's destination wedding. Mike and Alissa were married on a beach in Kauai. It was a really fun, beautiful, and relaxing vacation without our little kiddos. I'll make a few posts about this trip. This first one will be the wedding.

Her Bouquet

They hired this musician to play some pretty Hawaiian music before, during and after the ceremony

My dad (or "boyd" as we like to call him) cooking up some of his famous steaks by the pool of our hotel. We had a dinner with Mikes family the night before the wedding.

The Grub

Here is some more of the food. I would also like to say that yes we brought most of the stuff from Utah including the silverware, those bowls, the paper products, candles, and the funky Tikki God. There is a lot more my mom made us all haul over there for the wedding including a huge Costco size box of Sun Chips she fit in my sister Breanne's suitcase. My mom said everything in Hawaii is so expensive, so she wanted to bring as much as she could so she wouldn't have to buy it there. Yeah she was crazy and we all tried talking her out of it (especially me with the Sun Chips), but she actually ended up being right and we used all the stuff she brought, including the huge box of swedish fish and trail mix from Costco.

Here is their little wedding cake. It was an ice cream cake from Cold Stone. One of my family's favorite things right now.

These were bags Alissa and Mike gave to everyone that came out for their wedding. It was a welcome to Hawaii/Thank you for coming bag. It had towels, sunblock, aloe vera, chapstick, candy, bottled water, and a cute box with directions to the wedding and an invitation to a luau.

After the wedding we all changed and went to the beach and pool at Mike and Alissa's hotel. There we rented a paddleboard and a surfboard. Actually my mom rented the surfboard. The lady kept saying to her, "Are you sure you can swim REALLY well?" Finally my mom told her, "It is either now or never." So she rented the surfboard and we laughed hysterically at her. I tried it out a little, but I spent most of the time laughing and taking pictures of her. She would kill me if I posted them, so I won't. But really, you are missing out. Here we are at a Luau the night of the wedding. Mike's mom treated everyone to a Luau to celebrate their wedding. It was an awesome day and a beautiful wedding. More to come...
