Oahu

By Sarah

The turbo jet flight was a blast to Honolulu. Kaelah enjoying sitting

right behind her Aunt Amylynn & Uncle Scott. Amylynn was well

supplied with yummy suckers & Kaelah didn't even have enough time

to finish it before we landed. While in Oahu we visited the Polynesian

Cultural Center (where Dan got a kick out of my speaking Mandarin

with employees instead of paying attention to the presentations),

Waikiki Beach, the USS Arizona Memorial, the Aviation Museum of

the Pacific (which my grandmother was one of the founders of), and

took a tour of the USS Missouri. Dan & my favorite part of our short

stay in Honolulu was the USS MO & the fire dancing during the show

after our luau at the PCC. (Hi, my name is Sarah & I like very long

sentences & use parenthesis too often in my blogs.) Kaelah liked

everything except when she didn't get her way. (: Our trip home

went soooo much better than our trip out. Precious Kaelah was

spreading sunshine better than a knife spreads butter. She even

took a break from making people laugh to fall asleep on both our

flights and loved just being around her mom & dad. Of course she

totally freaked out when I left to go do Girl Scout stuff this morning

& then when Dan left to go to Boy Scouts tonight. I can tell she

would love it if Dan ever had a work from home situation but the

poor man would never be able to get anything done. (:

So there is the biggest vacation we'll take in years summed up.

Believe me, you don't want to see all 600 photos. (:

Wow...those vacation pictures to Hawaii looks so awesome! I'm glad that Kaelah did so well on the flight there and back! That always makes a difference.

Wow, that is awesome that you went to Hawaii. It is great for your sanity as well that Kaelah did so great on the flights. I am slightly, okay super jealous!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
