Adventure might be begining

Well we have had a busy weekend since david has been gone. Some good beach time and hanging out wiht the kids. There is a chance our adventure could start tomorrow. There are two flights that are good options tomorrow. One to Las vegas and one to california. So keep your fingers crossed that we will make it no problem to nevada. I am counting down to see my family and friends. I just widh david was with us. I will let you all know how this adventure goes. I am sure you are all dying to see how it all turns out.
I will see some of you real soon(hopefully)

Strike three

We dropped David off at the airport this morning. He off to go underway. He will be gone about a month and a half. It was sad this time because I have David give each of us a blessing every time he goes. After we were done with that Brooklyn just started crying so hard saying she didn't want daddy to leave today. Then when we dropped him off she got a little teary eyed and had the sadesst look on her face. She said all she wanted to do was call grandma Diane. So we did and she was better after that. It just killed me that at 4 1/2 years old she was able to grasp more of a sense this time of what is happening



it hasn't even been 24 hours( as of now) and already I miss David so much. The kids were great today. I couldn't have been more blessed with good kids. We went to the beach today for about four hours. We went with our good friend Audra her kids and our friend Chantell.



Dawson doesn't really care for the water so I really got to relax on the beach for a few hours. It was nice. It was really neat because we saw a submarine surface and then a little while later we saw it go back out to sea. We went to Hickam beach. It is on the air force base. This beach was awesome.



I have some fun stuff planned with the kids. We are going to see the fireworks tomorrow night and then I think make pizzas together on Saturday. We are just going to play play play for a few days.



I am going to take the mac flights( they are military space available flights) to either hill air force base of Nelli's Nevada(L's Vegas area). It will be an adventure but once I have a diet coke and a cafe rio salad in my hand it will all be worth it.


So all you friends in Utah if you want to get together let me know.

David if you get a chance to look at this. We love you so much and miss you. Thanks for working so hard for us. We hate to be away from you but thanks for doing your job so well. I cant wait to talk to you when ever that maybe. You are the greatest and I love you so much.

Bellows Beach


This little gem is what we found for an overnite adventure. The beautiful beach of white sand and turqoiuse water. The beauty of a place is called bellows. It is a military beach. during the week they close it to the public. On the weekends they open it up to the public. We have been there twice before but they were but on really windy and rainy days.

They have camp sites you can stay in, camper cabins, or cabins. It is hard to get a reservation for more then a night and on a weekend. Well david has two weeks off ya-hoo. (side note we are playing and playing and loving having daddy home) We were trying to think of fun things to do while he is off. We decided to call bellows and see what they had. So we went there thursday night. We had such a good time. we were right on the beach. It was a two bedroom cabin we stayed in. The kids had a blast. We had so much fun we are going back on monday for another overnite.

Our home away from Home.

When we first got there we played mini golf. We had the course to ourselves. The kids had fun. Dawsons way of golfing was picking up all the balls and dropping them in the hole. Landon really stuck with it longer then brooklyn did. He is 100% boy. He loves his sports.

The next tiger woods

Each unit comes with a picnic table and a grill out side. So david made a yummy dinner of grilled salmon, asparagus, twice baked potatoes, watermelon, and chips and salsa. It was so yummy and who could forget the s'mores. So we ate our hearts out. David took the kids looking for crabs at night while I put dawson down.

It was such a good time that we are going back on monday night. There is so much to do there. They also have tennis courts, a playground, tons of thing you can rent, a walking/biking trail, and so much more.

I highly recommend this for anyone that needs a little get away. We had such a good time and the kids loved it. It wa snice that since it was during the week there was hardly any one there. IT was a nice gem to find one we will come back to often.

THe kids would only let me take this if I said they could be sillly
Yummy watermelon

Five Stars

We have started a new thing with each of the kids. They have to earn five stars and they can pick a prize of there choice. Brooklyn had decided to earn a day with mom to go see the Hannah Montana movie. She then said that she wanted to invite her friend Gracie. So me and Shirlyn told the girls they had to each earn there stars. They did a good job at earning them.

These two girls were so excited to go to the movie. They were so cute and good during the movie. I do have to say I was a little worried about sitting through a Hannah Montana movie, but it was actually pretty good. I have to admit I came home and downloaded some songs from the movie.

So we got the theater almost to our self. We were set with popcorn, candy, and soda. At the end of the movie they played songs during the credits. Gracie and Brooklyn couldn't wait to get out of there seats and dance.

These two girls are like peas in a pod. I am so glad the Brooklyn has such a great friend. Thanks Gracie for earning your stars so you can come with us. Brooklyn I am so proud of you for earning your stars. I hope you had a fun time.

Movie Time, YEAH!! Dancing Girls

Six great years!!

Happy Anniversary David,

I can believe that it has been six great years already. each year just gets better and better.

I would never have thought that when I got married I would have three kids and be living in Hawaii. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

David is the best husband and father ever. Here are some things why he is the greatest:

*a great father
*Genuine
*down to earth
*loves me
*funny
*always makes me laugh
*always provides what our family needs
*Values his priesthood
*is a hard worker
*takes the kids on Saturday and Sunday mornings so I can sleep in
*Knows when I need a break
*takes the kids when I need him to
*is a great friend
*a good listener
* a great cook
*is totally good looking
*patient
*keeps me grounded
*helpful
*smart

I could go on and on but I want David to know how much I love him. David, you mean the world to me. I couldn't be happier were we are right now. You have given me the greatest gift ever. Well there is actually three. They go by the names of Brooklyn. Landon. and Dawson. Thanks for trusting me with the kids. Thanks for always meeting me on what to do with the kids. I love that we want the same things for our kids. Thanks for all your help with them. You are such a great father to them. There are many days they count down until when dad comes home. You are always taking situations and teaching them. As challenging and fun as it is to have three young kids. Being there mom means so much to me. They are such great kids. They look up to you so much. Thank you for always bringing me back down to what really matters. When ever I am stressed out you are always reminding me that it is okay and to just take a step back rather then give up. Thank you for taking the time to made date nights a priority. You are the greatest. I have such a strong support from you in all that I do. I love that you have more faith in me then I do. Thanks for making me a better person. You are the greatest thing ever to come into my life.

I remember when we got married that morning riding in the car with my parents to the temple I was nervous but then I saw Terry's car (her red jimmy was the first car I saw )in the parking lot and I just wanted to get in and see you. When I did I was immediately calmed. I love that has never gone away.

The one thing that means more to me then anything is that you have chosen me to have in your life as your wife FOREVER. That no matter what happens to me, you, or the kids that we will always be together. That feels pretty good to have found someone that loves you and wants you forever.

Thank you for taking me to the temple six years ago and saying You are the one I want to have by my side forever and eternity. That was the best day of my life. To have our lives start together and forever.
I love you so much. Thanks for seeing me the way that you do. I couldn't be happier. You are the best

Happy anniversary 2009

Could it get any better???

I see this picture and I think could it get any better? I mean really???

The last few weeks have been busy and crazy. Allot of ups and downs. David has been working so hard and work so he has been putting in extra hours. He is doing amazing things though for his department so I am so proud of him. Dawson has hit a phase that I would like to fast forward to a few months when he is out of it. we are trying to potty train Landon. He is doing well but he has had a few days in there. Luckily I think the end on his accidents are nearing the end. Brooklyn is being her cute self. Keeping us on our toes. Through her little tactics it reminds me to just keep laughing. She is super excited because she gets to move up to a dance class with the big five year old. So cute

So this weekend seemed to come and go to fast. It was a weekend were I was gone Friday night. David had plans with his friends Saturday night. Saturday and Friday afternoon were busy. Then it was Easter and that was filled with activities. So today being Monday I decided that for family night we were going to throw dinner in the car and head to the beach. It was so nice to be there. We had a good picnic on the beach.

The kids pkayed in the sand a little in the water. Dawson loved throwing the sand and scooting on his tummy all over the sand. It was great.

The other best part of the night was being able to just sit and relax with the one that means more to me than anything. Drum roll please David. He is the greatest. He has been working so hard at work and at home. He is so good with the kids and seeing when I need a break. He is always making me laugh. He always makes me realize that I can do things. He is always reminding me to stop take a breath it is going to be okay.

Love this man

Thanks family for a great night. It was fun to get out all together and play. Now that the weather is nice lets get to the beach more.
