4th of July - Hawaii Style
so i decided i should probably start posting on here again so my friends and fam won't be mad that they're missing out on things anymore.
i should probably start off with a WE'RE PREGNANT! type thing but that would be a really long-winded post and i think i should start off with something a little easier and shorter so i don't just quit blogging again, amiright?
so for now i'll just say...WE'RE PREGNANT!
(12 weeks)
so let's talk about the 4th of July!
usually this day comes and goes without Matt and i even noticing.
apparently we're old and boring already.
but this year i was not going to let that happen!
after about an hour of poking and nudging and tickling Matt I finally got him to wake up, eat breakfast and put his swimsuit on.
then something magical happened, Matt FINALLY jumped off of Laie Point!
guys, i have been trying to get him to jump off the point for the whole 6 months that we've been here!
of course, he has to do this after i'm prego and can't join in on the fun but still, EXCITING!
he jumped 3 times because he just couldn't get enough after the first jump! now he's addicted!
after all the jumping we headed to our fave beach spot to do some snorkeling.
baby and i really like to float around and look at fishies!
sadly, the conditions were really really terrible so we couldn't see a dang thing and ended up just plopping down on our beach chairs and enjoying the sun.
well, i plopped down on a beach chair and enjoyed the sun. Matt built a great white sand shark!
this kid LOVES to build things in the sand!
our kids are going to have a blast at the beach with him!
after all the beachy fun fun fun we decided to be true americans and hit up mcdonald's for lunch.
MURICA!
yes yes, i cheated on my diet but baby really wanted some fries and a few sips of dr pepper!
i just can't say no to this little stripey bump!
after coming home, cleaning up and running to the store for some supplies we decided to pretend we weren't completely exhausted and make a mexican feast for dinner!
the only craving i've had during this pregnancy so far is the overwhelming craving for mexican food and Hawaii is seriously letting me down!
there's only a couple places here that have decent mexican food but they're all 45+ minutes away.
but this meal we made...oh. my. amazing.
baby and i will have dreams of the fantabulousness of this meal!
deliciously marinated fajitas, homemade guacamole, my sis-in-law's famous homemade salsa!
i say again, OH. MY. AMAZING!
and even though i love fireworks, we're usually too lazy to get out of the house and drive to where they are.
but this year we got to watch them RIGHT FROM OUR BACK PORCH as i stuffed my face full of fajitaguacamolesalsachips!
a little far away but still pretty cool to be able to sit at your house and watch a firework show!
so that's how the 4th of July is done - Hawaii style!

Eve
Happy New Year's Eve everyone!!
Matt and i have a super random tradition of going to a Chinese buffet on New Year's Eve and stuffing our faces until we're ready to pop so i'm definitely looking forward to that tonight!
and we'll see if Matt can actually stay awake until midnight so we can be cute and kiss.
every other night of the year Matt can stay up until 3:00 or 4:00 AM no problem but then on New Year's Eve he falls asleep at like 10:00 PM and can't be woken up by anything.
mystery.

Christmas Recap
Christmas was amazing!!
i'm so glad i was able to finish all my ornament making and get things out in time for Christmas and then Matt and i were able to relax and enjoy some time together.
here's a little Christmas goodness for ya.
best present everrrr! Matt knows i love me some sharks!
Padme got a new bone!
Matt is singing "hey now hey nowwww"

he went to see it at midnight with his friends way back in the day.
true story.

i love it!
i can't believe 2011 is over in just a couple days but i'm so excited for what 2012 has in store for us!

creatin'
i finished my work really early yesterday and decided to do some creatin'.
i love when that happens.
i made some cutie little ornaments like this guy!
i'm thinking about making a whole bunch more like these and opening up my etsy shop again.
hmmmmm...
making these put me in the most christmasy spirit.
i've been listening to christmas music today and begging Matt to let me put up our tree and decorations already.
he said we can't until after thanksgiving but i'm sure i'll wear him down.
also...what is it about mint M&Ms that makes them soooo delicious that i cannot stop eating them no matter how sick they make me??
somehow the bowl finds its way onto my desk and then while i'm working i just pop them in my mouth ALL THE TIME!
no bueno yet SO bueno.

dear patrick's day
saint patty's day is a funny holiday.
but any holiday where you get to dye all your food green is a holiday i like!
for dinner i had planned on making shepherd's pie which is kinda Irish right?
i even planned on dying the mashed potatoes on top green but a couple hours before dinner i realized i was missing some ingredients and didn't have a car to run to the store to get them.
so we had green pancakes instead!
on green plates.
and green Sprite.
in green cups.
with a green straw in mine.
you can't really tell the pancakes are green because they got all toasty on the outside but the inside was green all the way!
and notice Matt is not wearing a green shirt.
he refused.
so this is him showing off his green dinner and also the fact that he will be pinched!
i went for the usual green shirt and went the extra tiny bit by painting my nails green.
no where near how cool my sister is though.
she dresses her kids up in 100% green outfits.
(the nephew on the right likes to refer to St. Patrick's Day as Dear Patrick's Day! so cute!)
and she even dyed her hair green for the day.
now that's dedication to a holiday.
