What a long strange trip its been...

OKay, I have been super busy since my last posting. So for those of you who view the blog, Im sorry. I have never been so busy in my life than I have been in the last month. But there is an end in sight. I will have my chemistry final and sociology final tomorrow, so I will be freed from school until fall, yea! Caleb started baseball and Mitch is coaching again so they have been busy as well. Aubrie is doing dance class and swimming so she is busy and it keeps me going as well. Caleb has piano, hiphop and baseball. And when you put church callings and other obligations in the mix, you can see why I was busy.

Caleb had a little concert at Robyn's and did well. He is making good progress.

I am still working out with my trainer and at the spa and seemed to have hit a place where I am just not losing any more weight. Maybe my heart and attention just hasnt been into it right now either. I need to get back to 100%. My progress is at 17 lbs. So that is still something. 35 more to go.

Mitch had Fire prevention last week at the civic center and the theme was Shrek and he played Donkey and did such an awesome job! No one thought it was him. He worked so hard at getting Eddie Murphys voice down and he did it!Nice job honey.

We also celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. Love you Chitchel.

And then we went to my sister Tara's wedding over this last weekend. It was fabulous. She was such a beautiful bride. I feel bad though because I didnt even get a picture of her. I will post one soon. It was nice to see family that came. It was in Utah and its always nice to go there. That just about sums up thispast month. Hopefully I will have mre time to post more!

Hawaii...The Crew

What an awesome trip we had to Hawaii! It was such a beautiful, relaxing place! We enjoyed everything we did and will always remember it. Thanks Dad and Mary! Here is a picture of the crew. Dad, Mary, Tara other sister, Lacy my stepsister, her husband Jeff, their son Breyton, Russell(stepbrother) and his wife,Ashley. ANd of course, US!

Our first view...

The Royal Hawaiian

We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki. It was beautiful! It is located right by the Waikiki strip which had some great stores. You could go down this street and see a Louis Vitton right next door to a local surk shop which I found funny. There was also a mall and courtyard that was so pretty. At night they would light tons of tiki torches up and down the street and around the hotel. One night we got the best massages ever and it was so relaxing to hear the noise of the beach and the dim lights of the tiki's. They greeted with us lei's and neat necklaces. One of the pictures below is a view from our room. Awesome!

Just hanging out...

We loved just hanging out at the beach and at the pool. Dad had rented a poolside cabana and so the kids went back and forth between the two. Mitch also tried surfing with Jeff one morning. Looked fun guys. We all got great tans!

Parasailing

Mitch, Caleb and I went parasailing with Jeff (lacy's husband) Russell (my stepbrother) and his wife Ashley. It was fun until I got sick. Yes, I puked on this too. Obviously I get sea sck and motionsickness! Caleb was so brave, he loved it. Mitch and I went up together and it was scary. But you could see a great view of the beaches, Honolulu and Waikiki beach. Great experience!
