Seriously?!

I was reading my Us Weekly on Friday and it was flipped to this page (and no, I don't watch this show). Tate was sitting by me on the couch and looks over and points to each person and goes "daddy, mommy, Tate!" over and over again. Are you kidding me Tate? Please tell me I look nothing like Tori Spelling. I think I would have rather him mistaken me for one of the dogs on the bottom.

Hawaii

Jord and I just spent eight Tate-less days with his family in Oahu...and it was fabulous! I missed my Tater, but it was so great to get away and not have a 2 year old whining and clinging to me the whole time. And he had much more fun anyway staying here with my mom and Meg all week--he had lots of people to play with!

We did everything from cliff jumping, snorkeling, and cave swimming; to Pearl Harbor, movie tours at Kualoa Ranch, and FOUR HOURS at the flea market. We had so much fun...

These were the grounds at the condo we stayed at in Ko'Olina

Pearl Harbor

Waimea Beach where we cliff dived and went cave swimmingTy, Josh and Jord in the cave. It was so fun, you'd get sucked in and spun around, then spit back out. I jumped in shortly after this just in time for a big wave to smack my head into the ceiling of the cave.

Me and Chace at Sea Life Park

Jord skim boarding on our beachKualoa Ranch was the coolest place. It's thousands of acres of land, and lots of movies and tv shows are filmed there. So we got to take a tour of some of the places--like Jurassic Park, Pearl Harbor, 50 First Dates, and the show Lost. This was the famous tree where they hide from the T-Rex...After the movie set tour we got to take ATV's out and ride all over the ranch--it was beautiful! This is Jord getting ready to go..Me, Kallee, and Sis after driving the ATV's. Ya, that's not a tan--it's dirt. We were filthy after getting off those!

I was so excited to come back and see Tate, but I am now going through post-vacation depression. I just want to go back and lay on the beach.

Cinco de Mustache '09

Before

After

This year was the second annual Cinco de Mustache party with Jordan and his friends. We had to do the party a day early, but it was still just as fun, and just as ridiculous.

We're so proud to call them our husbands.

And I'll have you know, Jordan went to jury duty like that. Amazingly he got picked and is now Juror #1....apparently they were looking for someone with serious amounts of facial hair.

...What we did while Jordan was busy growing out his beard...

Tulip festival at Thanksgiving PointHmmm, notice how the sign says "please do not climb on exhibit"

The dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point--totally lame but Tate seemed to like it
I randomly find these on my camera....I have no idea who took the picture.I spent a weekend at my Grandma's house with my mom, Meg, Brooke, and my aunt Shauna

Tate loved mowing the lawn with Jordan. We're hoping in a few weeks he'll be good enough to send out on his own and do it:)
