Chan's birthday Dinner

We had a great dinner to celebrate Chandler's 24th Valentines Day birthday!
We all gathered at PF Changs


Meag got him the surprise birthday song from the waitors and free choco cake!



Muah!

Tortugas

Uh! I am so behind blogging! But when I get on a roll I blog!

When Chandler's family came out to visit for a week a few weeks ago we did some fun things! We spent the day out to Ko Olina! We have some friends that live at Ko Olina as well and they were at this private cove at the beach already and they told us to hurry down to the beach because they had 5 turtle just hanging out...

We got there and all of us darted into the water first thing! Here is Meagan feeding one some (seaweed lettuce)

It really was the neatest site to see. They are so calm and relaxed. They are not even scared of you at all. They would eat right out of our hands. They would swim right to us, swim into us- or gently just graze their whole bodies against us in the water.

My brother was out the same time for another golf tournament so he came along- We all thought it WAS PRETTY COOL!


Meagan trying to get some kisses!



The water is so pleasantly warm! Sometimes Chan and I still say to one another "we live here!" "we live in Hawaii!"

The families FIRST time to Hawaii!


A great day with 5IVE large tortugas!

HUGE pancakes

Chandler parents finally came out for a visit! (More post to come)! While they were here after one of Chan's games also Madi-gras (sp?) night we went out to eat at a place called macaroni24-7 or something.. I was feeling like some breakfast...so I ordered pancakes...
THEY WERE HUGE! In the pictures you cant really tell that they are huge but they were! They were wider than my body!
I really could not believe it. My jaw dropped when she brought them out. I thought it was a joke. Afterwards I found out that this restaurant is known for their GIGANTIC famous pancakes!

here is a pic to compare it to my hand too!

Oh MY...

Goodness! It has been so long since I have blogged! I will try to do a blog a night to get caught up! We have been busy busy!


Here are a few pictures of when Chandler played against Dixie here at home in PINK jerseys! They had breast cancer awareness week. So coach made the boys wear pink! It actually was really cool!Chan is number 1 in the picture!

B-DAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANDLER!!!!!

BIG 24!!!

More posts to come!

Comin back to the Island

It was so hard for me to get on the plane to come back to Hawaii because I had so much fun back home with friends and family..but I was ready to get back to Chandler...

My flight from Vegas back to the Island was not bad. Luckily it was not a packed flight and I had my whole row to myself to lay down all the way! I was able to sleep the WHOLE time. I never sleep on planes, so I was happy about that!
Flying always amazes me. Every single time I fly I am literally mesmerized looking out the window. I just love it. I am too, always so thankful for arriving safely with no problems. I make an effort to look my pilot in the eyes and tell him "thank you" sincerely as we all walk off the plane and pass him standing near the plane door! And plus they are always so nice from the cockpit when speaking to their passengers on Hawaiian Air!


Here we are arriving to Oahu and right over Diamond Head an extinct Volcano right East of Waikiki (called Diamond Head because diamonds were once discovered there)
As you can see too, the waves are a decent size in Waikiki (and our shadow;))



Here in Honolulu and Waikiki (we live in the middle of that pretty much!)


This is Ala Moana Beach and Park... Its a nice beach we like to go to near my work and our house that is clean! You can see that huge reef just out a ways from the shore line.. people walk over that to surf and paddle board on the other side (out deeper in the ocean)
My sweet husband was patiently waiting for me to get back to Hawaii- He had a beautiful bouquet of roses for me when I walked out of baggage claim. He is so great! Just knows how to get me every time with the kindest thoughts! I was happy to be home again with him! (our first time apart since we've been married) Its probably good for us but better for us to be together! ;)
Thanks hun!

Skiing

Kenneth and I got a wild hair the day before I was supposed to fly back to Hawaii-we went up to Brian Head to go skiing. It started out being a sunny day.. as the day went on it got a lil gray but it was a great day overall because NO one was at the resort- maybe every 15th chair on the lift had a person. I would say 30 people tops on the whole mountain. Its so much more fun when you dont have to wait. We came off the mountain and got right back on the lift again and again.

Here we are sitting on the lift


We had a lot of fun together




The view from the top of the mountain was surreal.. I loved it

My camera got a lil foggy towards the end of the day because it got dropped in the snow and then put back in my pocket..whoops ;)




I took this picture as we were leaving- I thought it looked cool because of the fog on my lens



Crazy how I go one day from being in Hawaii at sea level to....

Home in Utah skiing at 11,000 feet!

Wonderful!!

I have not had a facial in years! I am too busy at the spa to take time for myself- My sister Desiree is trying to get her Aesthetics room in her house all ready and arranged. I told her she can work on me to try to get used to the things she has in her room so far ;) it worked! She gave me the most AMAZING facial! it was and hour and a half long! I so needed it! I tend to forget how good facials feel- and its my job! No wonder people walk out loving me after their facials! LOL! I sure loved mine! Desi is a great Esthetician! She has the magic touch! Her room is so cute so far! And that bed was so cozy comfy fluffy warm!
