Tuesday hike

Beautiful day for a hike at the Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail, Ricky slept most of the time in his Ergo, which I now wear on my back because it gives me better balance and it gets less hot. This hike was not too difficult and perfectly safe to do with kids and even strollers. 

Christmas pictures

We had a busy weekend, but the weather has been amazing and I had a lot of fun taking pictures for our neighbors and good friends. I love taking pictures of family and friends and editing (just a little) of course it is nothing like the professionals but it's fun. Last year the talented Amanda Berube  took our Christmas pictures, this year Alyson Lofgren took our pictures and I love them. I use a Nikon 500 and Pic Monkey to edit pictures, if you find yourself in a bind and can't book a photographer or just want to save some money get some friends to take your pictures and get creative! Here are our pictures and one that I took this weekend :)

Thank you Alyson for making us look this good 

This is my favorite! look at that little face

Look at this little cutie 

Celebrating Paul's 28th Birthday

Tomorrow is my husbands 28th birthday but since he has to be at work until late tomorrow we celebrated tonight. I made him his favorite meal, which he didn't know was his favorite until he meet me :) My awesome enchiladas, which I only make on special occasions. I went with practical gifts since we have a baby now and Christmas is coming up and we like to save big gifts for that occasion. The best part of celebrating his birthday this year was that Ricky was able to join in on the fun and he really enjoyed singing Happy Birthday and seeing the candles lit.

Love this picture 

so many candles (oooo!)

Happy Birthday Paul! We love you 

It's beginning to look a lot like.....It's still November!

I might be alone on this one but Thanksgiving is in another week and in my book that means that everything Christmas is off limits! until after Thanksgiving of course. We will be visiting another island for Thanksgiving so in case I forget here is my list of things I am thankful for:

1. My family
2. My friends
3. My health
4. That I get to live in Hawaii
5. That I have the luxury to be a stay at home mom
 Living for today, not worrying about tomorrow and trusting God to take care of the rest.

Stop and "smell the turkey"! 

SO thankful for my cute little turkey! love him

                                                   What are you thankful for?

Tuesday morning

Pillbox, the second time around and I have a feeling there will be many more visits.

New favorite way to wear the baby. Tomorrow is Wednesday! Happy Early birthday to our favorite Dad and husband.

The weekend

I was officially off on Sunday, all moms should have a day off. I wasn't feeling well so I decided to just let the mess be a mess and these days that means toys and whatever else Ricky can get his hands on scattered across the floor. He is so active and curious it's amazing because he is still so little and I need about every ounce of energy I have to keep up and he's not even walking yet! I spent Saturday killing myself at the gym and then paid for it every time I went upstairs, on Sunday I felt like I had contracted some fatal disease. There should be a law against moms getting sick, I am feeling a lot better and ventured out on my first ever mommy and baby date! that by the way means some other mommies and me went shopping and for lunch all the while taking up all the aisles in stores with out strollers, then we took a whole bench to breast feed ( it was awesome). I am going to my first ever masquerade (yay!) so of course I had to get a dress.

I love chubby baby legs! As you can see my house is super clean and orderly and Ricky is getting bigger by the day. I especially love how he looks with that little hat. Hope that you all had an amazing weekend. ALOHA!

Campfire game

Happy Friday! 

I hope everyone has an AMAZING weekend, the holidays are getting so close I can taste the pumpkin pie. These days the weather has cooled down a bit so we use our fire pit, nothing fancy just one I got for $30! last year at Target for black Friday. By the way when I say cool down I mean, like 65 degrees (brrrr!) for Hawaii anyway :) There is  a little game I came up with and I am sure there are a lot of variations out there but this is how I like to play:

The quiet game:

1. First rule is there is no TALKING

2. There is no LAUGHING

3. There is no facial expressions of any kind accepted

Those are the rules, now the fun part. 

One person in the group is "it" meaning they will do everything humanly possible to break you. The first person who "breaks" (by violating one of the rules) has now become the assistant. This goes on until there is only one person left. Only the strongest survive! I am always the first to break of course, I find everything hysterical. This was seriously such a blast, give it a try! 

As always, have an amazeballs weekend everyone!
