So, I haven't posted anything for a really long time because we've been busy. Some big stuff and lots of little stuff that eat away the day. There have, however, been some more blog-worthy experiences that I should share:
1. Trip up North. - Sometimes I get antsy and need to flee life for a couple of days. That's what we did a few weeks ago, and our journey took us up north to the Monterey Peninsula. We stayed in a cute little Inn in Carmel and visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Spanish Bay (where we were married), and of course Carmel-By-the-Sea. The kids had a blast and it was a nice quick trip.
2. Aloha Paul - Paul went to Hawaii for a quick getaway with his brothers and to attend Pat and Carrie's Hawaii wedding reception "Cake & Skate" (as in everyone comes and eats cake and skates on the half-pipe. Yep, that's Laie folks). He also gouged out a chunk of his leg while he was there and got some seriously slutty staples put in his leg from a Kahuku doctor (and I use "doctor" very loosely).
3. Bella's Birthday Part I - We celebrated Bella's 3rd birthday for about a week. The first part happened on her actual birthday,
and that was cupcakes (decorated like Wall*E), presents, and balloons with our little family.
4. Bella's Birthday Part II - The second portion of Bella's birthday was her actual party which was held at the local train museum (because she's obsessed with trains) where we ate pizza, a homemade Thomas cake, opened presents (lots of trains), and rode on the mini birthday train. We had lots of family and friends there so it was a lot of fun.
5. We also got a guinea pig named "Napoleon", took our rabbit, "Nutmeg", to the "farm", had a new ceiling and lighting put into our kitchen, dining room, and hallway, remodeled the master bathroom, and the kids bathroom, and switched up the furniture in all the kids rooms too. I'll post pictures later.
See ... busy.
