Hawaii, Part 1

What can I say about our trip to Hawaii? We didn't do anything spectacular or outrageous. All we really did was eat all kinds of food and spend time with family. It was truly like going home. Mike and I are already plotting ways to move back there for good. In the mean time we'll just have to look at pictures.

We stayed right on the beach for the first week.

We got in a lot of fishing.

Eryn loved the beach so much she asks me everyday to go back. When I explain that there's no beach in Idaho she gets pretty mad.

Great News!

I have a little piece of information that makes me happy. I'm talking the best news so far this year!

In 4 days I will be sitting on an airplane headed for Hawaii. Eryn and I will be staying for 3 weeks. I'm so excited.

Brushing of the Teeth

Eryn came into the room and said, "Mama, I'm brushing my teeth." Now, normally this wouldn't make me cringe but that is not her toothbrush, nor does it belong to me or Mike for that matter. She found the new costco pack and decided to open every single one. On the positive side, it looks like she only used two of them. Oh well, it's just one of those days where we aren't accomplishing much. Do you ever have those days? You know when it is noon and no one has their hair done or is dressed in presentable clothes. And yes, that is her Cinderella princess dress she is wearing.

'Caught this 4-lb bass in a "secret" pond in Boise. The weather was gorgeous with temperatures peaking the lower 70's. I LOVE Spring!

Is it April already?

March went by too fast. I'm still getting used to blogging so I left some things out that I probably should have written about. This month was pretty eventful:
1. Happy birthday to me!
2. I quit my job! I knew this would happen after I made that big long post about me working. I really liked the job but I'm glad to be home again.
3. We bought our airline tickets for our trip to Hawaii!!!! 53 more days, baby!
4. This was the first Easter that Eryn actually "got" things. Meaning she got excited to have an easter egg hunt, broke, I mean colored, a bunch of eggs, loved her Easter basket. It was really fun watching her experience all of these things.
I am looking forward to April because the weather should be getting warmer and I'll be able to wear slippers again (well I still do sometimes but my toes get pretty cold.)

I think I might be Crazy...

So I bought 60 boxes of cereal. Yes, 60. Mike has already told me I'm crazy so you don't have to unless you really feel the need. Mike works for Supervalu (the parent company of Albertsons) and sends me emails of all the sales coming up. The Cereal sale was just too good to pass up. I bought 60 boxes of cereal for about $0.40 each. I guess you could say I went a little overboard but I could resist. We now have a years supply of cereal. My favorite so far is the stawberry delight frosted mini-wheats. I'm not a big fan of the chocolate peanut butter pops. (any takers?)

Please excuse the messy house.

Here is princess Eryn dancing to the Cinderella theme song. This is such a funny stage. She makes us laugh all the time.
