Spanish Words of the Day

The teacher told Pepito to use these words in a sentence. Pepito replies:

1. Cheese---Maria likes me, but Cheese fat.

2. Mushroom---When all my family get in the car, there's not mushroom.

3. Shoulder---My fren wanted 2 become a citizen but she didn't know how to read so I shoulder.

4. Texas---My fren always Texas me when I'm not home wondering where I'm at!

5. Herpes---Me and my fren ordered pizza. I got mine piece and she got herpes.

6. July---Ju told me ju were going to tha store and July to me! Julyer!

7. Rectum---I had 2 cars but my wife rectum!

8. Juarez---One day my gramma slapped me and I said, "Juarez your problem?"

9. Chicken---I was going to go to the store with my wife but chicken go herself.

10. Wheelchair---We only have one enchalada left, but don't worry wheelchair.

11. Chicken wing---My wife plays the lottery so chicken wing.

12. Body wash---I want to go to the club but no body wash my kids.

Are you laughing? I stole this from my friend April's blog... I can just hear the Spanish accent--especially with my CORONA, CA roots. And, after seeing Twilight and hearing Edward's SPANISH ACCENT the whole first half of the movie, I have a little espaniol on my mind. I know, I know, he is English, but where did he learn his American accent, from a Spanish speaker??

December

November just snuck right pass me as I re-read my favorite vampire series.... Greg was out of town last week (until Thanksgiving) and I snuggled up on my bed, turned on "Eiego" for my boy, and read my little heart out for 4 days. My, what a relaxing last week of November I had! Now its back to reality... I just checked my email--Yikes, I will deal with that later.

I am thrilled for the holidays... kinda sad I'm done with my shopping, though. I am really hoping that Tyson will let me put wrapped presents under the tree... we'll see (I think I am hoping for a miracle, there). It has been fun anticipating and now getting ready for the holidays in our new home. I bought three coordinating Christmas wraps, with a grand vision of beauty when I put all of our presents under the tree.... I HOPE my vision will come true. No tree yet, for us, hopefully soon though, then there will be before and after pictures of the destruction, I am sure.

Here is some video of Tyson--my ALMOST 2 year old. He has been soooo much fun. My friend, Jessica, mentioned that from 18 months, through just over 2 yrs was her favorite "stage" of development. I doubted that I would feel that way, because I LOVE me a new baby... but I have to say, that I have a tie going on right now. I had to stop watching Jon and Kate, plus 8 for a couple weeks because I was taking so many videos. I felt a little envious that they got to have a camera crew follow them around getting so many of their kids' precious moments on film. I knew I was on the brink of insanity when I started hiding the camera and trying to get those “too cute moments”. So, the following videos are of me trying to get all of the cuteness in to a couple minutes.

Tyson decided one day that he wanted to go to school. I'm not quite sure where he heard about school, but off to school he went... Kind of.

This one is me trying to get some cuteness out--we didn't do too well, but doesn't he look dashing in his Thanksgiving outfit??

Just to catch you up--- In case you forgot (I don't know how you could have with my spazy pregnant writing style), here is an updated shot my me and my girl. So, Greg put the kibosh on the "Nakie" shots at 20 weeks last time (a VERY sad day for many of you), but since you have been ROYALLY jipped this time around, I decided to throw one last bare-belly shot in... Here we are at 22 weeks. (Yes, I am sucking in.)

So there you go, all of November in one LONG post... Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. We did! We have much to be grateful for!

Tutu or Tennis Shoes....

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
and the winner is

Tutu

We would have been thrilled either way, but it appears that Tyson will be having a baby sister! Yea!

The baby looks very healthy, and very fabulous. No signs of thick, black hair yet, but since I have "marginal placenta previa", I will be getting another shot of her in 6 weeks. I can only hope that she has the hair that Tyson did :)

Here are a few shots of our baby girl:

And just in case you were doubting...

Time for a Vote

The time has come to vote on the most important issue of the month ;)

___

Will the next Trapnell baby be a boy or a girl??

PS-Your vote doesn't really matter--the gender has already been decided (Greg took that upon himself 5 months ago) but lets see what you think...

Polls close on Friday, November 14th, at 12:00. Good Luck to you!

OUR FIRST SNOW

It was so exciting (and a bit chilly) to wake up this morning to a white blanket of snow covering everything in sight. It was cold last night, with maybe a drizzle or two, but no signs [to me] of a morning winter wonderland. Tyson saw the snow and said, "Mommy, snowman!" He is not a genius (well, maybe he is), I had just read Snowmen at Night the day before. What timing I have!

I made Greg go out and snap a shot this morning before he left for work--our First Snow!! How exciting. (PS-This excitement will not last all season--not even the rest of the day if it is not melted by the time I have to run errands this afternoon:)

Top 5

Yesterday Greg [lovingly] called to me by my 2nd name: "WOMAN!" when I accidentally unplugged our satellite connection when I had vacuumed earlier. Anyway, Tyson and I were in another room, and all of the sudden he began yelling, "Wooman! Wooman!" and laughing. This got me thinking about all of my favorite sayings of his, and who they originated from...

Here are my Top 5 Favorite Tyson Sayings to date:

1. "Shoot, baby!" -- He usually says this when he falls down. Sometimes I hear him say it when he is playing and his trucks/airplanes crash, or when something else in his make believe world goes wrong. I will have to say I am guilty of teaching him this one. Whenever he'd fall as a youngster I would say, "Oh! Shoot Baby, are you okay??" I guess he was listening, and/or he fell a lot.

2. "Oh dang it!" -- This phrase most often is said when he is frustrated and can't accomplish whatever he is trying to. This is our warning that tears are on the way. Both Greg and I say "Dang it" so we'll give a point (or a strike) to both of us.

3. "What you think 'bout that!" -- This was my favorite for a while. Tyson says this when he has the "nerve" or is really hyper/trying to get us to laugh. I said this once to him when we were baking cookies, I decided to roll the dough in sugar and when I finished I said, "What do ya think about that, huh?" and he repeated it. I laughed so hard that I believe I may have encouraged him.

4. "Whoa, baby!" -- This is clearly my fault. Can you hear Greg saying that (the correct answer is no, he is not a cowboy). When Tyson does something tricky or dangerous I say, "Whoa, Baby!"--still do.. It's cute when he says it on his own. I guess the real cute part is the face he makes--like I just escaped my death. Aren't I cool?

5. "NO-WELL, MOM!" -- This is my fav right now. Once when I was vacuuming Tyson kept wanting me to watch him do things and I told him I would watch in a minute. He went to the top of the stairs (I was half way down vacuuming them) and yelled (twice), "No-Well Mom!" as loud as he could. Once I figured out what he was saying, I almost fell down the stairs. That one is all Aunt Faith's fault. Once we got separated in the Gap and she had Tyson. She told him to say, "Noel, where are you?" to find me--I guess he remembered my name. It was so funny to hear him call me Noel...

6. "No help, Mommy" -- I remembered this one when I was trying to find the video clip I knew I had of #3. This one is kind of funny, kind of sad. And he says it for almost everything now. I guess he is rapidly approaching the ripe-old age of 2. I am pretty sure he came up with this one on his own... Dang it!

Happy Halloween

I cannot believe that it is NOVEMBER!!! That means Christmas is just around the corner. I have to admit, I am kind of anxious to have a white Christmas (although forecasts tell us that we'll be having a white Thanksgiving as well :( I guess that's fine as long as we don't have a white Easter... Too Much!) All of my Christmas shopping is done for Tyson. I am still trying to find the right sales to get his "big boy room" together. He and Greg put his bed together yesterday... that was fun. Now we'll just let him get used to it for a month before we begin TORTURING ourselves.... How on earth will we get him to sleep in his own bed?? Feel free to send ideas :)

Halloween was surprisingly warm. We did the ward Trunk-or-Treat on Thursday, then a family Halloween get-together on Friday. Tyson fought putting on his WIMPY costume both days, although by the end of Friday night he was quite enjoying himself. Tyson was a doctor/surgeon, although you could hardly tell since he didn't want to wear his "earrings" (stethoscope) or mask. It was the least costumish costume I could find. He looked (and I am sure felt) like he was wearing PJs. Who wouldn't want that?? He said he wanted to be a dinosaur, but I just knew there was NOT A CHANCE he'd keep that costume on. Maybe next year he will choose to be something a little more fun. Greg and I were (of course) not fun ourselves. I did get Greg to put on an orange shirt (maybe that's where Tyson gets his love of this holiday). Trick-or-Treating was nice, though. Tyson thoroughly enjoyed that, and once I got him to quit grabbing tootsie pops and go for the chocolate, I enjoyed it too!~

The Pumpkin Patch

We FINALLY got to go to the Pumpkin Patch!! I dreamt of little baby pictures in a field of pumpkins last year in FL--sadly, there were NO patches. This year our baby is a bit older, with his favorite phrase being, "NO HELP, MOMMY!", but we managed to have fun nonetheless.


**Remember his favorite words as he tries to lift daddy's big pumpkin on the porch steps :) **

It's THAT TIME Again!

Not for pumpkins, candy and costumes (although for some of you that IS what you've been looking forward to, until now, of course)--but for the NAKIE pics of my bare white skin! YEA!!! The Trapnells experienced a miracle in July, and after the much anticipated confirmation on Wednesday, we are happy to announce that the belly shots will resume! (Maybe for the next one I'll finally have abs--probably not.)

_________________________

Now, (for those of you who are wondering), I DO feel kind of silly doing this--not taking the pics, just posting them--but this blog was mine first and I like to embrace my pregnancy(s)... So, enjoy and/or mock, but here is a flashback, and a look at things to come.

PS--I would love to check out anyone else's growing "bump"-- what a miracle! (The real miracle is that it goes away, huh??)

Tyson (12 weeks) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Tyson (18 weeks)












NEW BABY (12 weeks) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .NEW BABY (16 weeks)












So, I am almost 17 weeks along, and feeling great. The exhaustion has passed (whew!) and now I am on my way to stretching out all of my favorite clothes. Greg and I are thrilled, and we are hoping Tyson will be too. He loves babies, but will he love it when it's HIS baby???... only time will tell. My due date is April 3rd, but, I am of course hoping for the premature water break at 38 weeks.. one can only hope. :)

Tag 4-4

Usually I dread being "tagged", but this was a fun one. Especially when I did it!

The tag is to go to your picture files... open the 4th folder... then open the 4th picture. Here is what mine is!

Any guesses who this is?? It is not Tyson...

I believe it is customary to tag someone(s) else, so I tag: KRYSTAL, AMYEE and JULIE. Enjoy!

Is it only the 2nd week in September??

This month is kind of crawling by. It has been raining and cold, kind of nice, but kind of early. Hopefully we get one more warm streak before the SNOW! Tyson has been playing outside as much as his mommy can stand it. I feel like I should since we are shortly going to be held captive inside our bare walls when the snow hits.

Here is Tuff Stuff on his motorcycle. He got a bloody nose when he fell face first down the "tall tunnel" at the park. PS.. I did not ask him to pose like this, but in case you were wondering, those are his muscles!

Here is a little funny from Tuff Stuff: Yesterday Tyson was trying to get his pants on or something, and I asked if he needed help. He said no, because he is 2 now, you know (not really). A few minutes later I saw that he had completed the task and I said/asked, "Did you do it?" to which he replied, "I doed it." I love the way he composes his thoughts right now. Just this morning before Greg left for work, he said, "Getchu (get you) Daddy!" and started running. That is because, of course, we always say, "we're going to get you!" before the big chase. Just the funny little moments of life :)

So here is a not so funny moment of life. Thanks to Tiffany and Jessica, the only two people I know whose children enjoy removing diapers, my fear has come true! Twice this week I have walked in on Tyson (who is supposed to be sleeping) BARE BUM NAKED holding his treasure either peeing, or just have peed all over his bed. I know I should be grateful that it is pee and not the other, but still... I HATE changing those crib sheets. And of course, the first day was on Monday, after I had just changed his sheets. Good thing I thought it was kind of funny on that day (only because he covered the pee up with his pillow when I walked in.. then showed it to me and said, "Yuckie, pee-pee!")

GROSS! He is kind of obsessed with peeing right now. He loves to go "peep in the pody" (No, I am not trying to potty train, not even close). So, I spanked him on day 2 of the peeing parade and he was just devastated over that, then when I put him to bed yesterday he said "No, no pee-pee. No, no diaper." To which I replied, "That's right. Mommy with give you a spank if you take off your diaper." Anyhoo, I decided to just go grab the tape (Tiffany's solution) and tape that baby shut, just in case, because I don't really enjoy spanking him. So, we'll see how nap time goes today. I haven't resorted to the backwards sleeper yet (Jessica's solution). Hopefully we don't get that far!

And I know I need to post pictures of the house. I PROMISE I will take some on Monday--that is "cleaning day" for me.

Back to REALITY

Well, I must say I was a little shocked to see that my last post was nearly a month ago. I have a feeling that September will bring more updates.... I hope.

There is nothing fantastic to report. The rest of my shutters will be installed this week. I guess that I what I am looking forward to most in the near future. I will post pictures, because the ones in my room are very lovely. Our home is great. It is kind of one big SHELL of a house. It is fun though, to SLOWLY fill it-- I guess.

It has been CHILLY! Yikes. Greg and I have been joking with our neighbors, who moved in just before us, and who have landscaped (we have not), that we are praying for early snow this year (to hide our DIRT). We didn't really mean it! It rained and hailed most of the day on Monday, and it has been FREEZING ever since. Of course when I say "freezing" I mean it for me who most recently lived in Florida and before that in Las Vegas, but few will deny that it has been cold. See, this is what happens when I don't have a reason to post--I BLAB about nothing. I hope no one is wasting their time reading this rubbish.

On a more interesting note, Tyson is talking like a 3 year old. That is fun. I hope my next baby only stays in the "newborn stage" for a couple weeks (because I love that just-from-heaven newness), then jumps right on in to 18-24 months. His jabbering may have something to do with the fact that he is the one I speak to all day. We are boosom buddies out here. I guess I should find him a friend. Greg is a titch worried about the amount of time we spend together, although he was VERY impressed when Tyson sang the Itsy-Bitsy Spider to him when I said one night, "Let's sing Daddy a song." We tried to get it on video, and OF COURSE, he could not remember the words. He is a funny little guy.

We have no complaints out here... just miss a few people we have left along the way. It seems to be taking a long time to make friends, but then again, I have been basically hanging out with Jon and Kate and their 8. (I just love that show--Jon needs to stand up for himself though).

Hope Fall is bringing in a little cool weather and relaxation to you all!

2 weddings and a move

I am SLOWLY recovering from July... Tyson and I got here on the 1st or 2nd (kind of foggy on exact details) and then Greg arrived the NEXT DAY-- he drove, we flew, and he almost beat us! Do you think he was ready to be done with school?!?! Anyway, I will spare you the sweaty, dirty details, of unloading the truck, and just say that with the help of Lacey (my sis) and Jeff (Greg's brother), we got unloaded and settled in just 2 1/2 days. If Scott had been here I am sure it would have taken just 1/2 the time---oh well, at least we got his help loading the truck--Thanks again!

On the 3rd day at our new home, my family arrived to get ready for the "double trouble" weddings. We took off for the weekend for a quick 4th of July get-a-way at Bear Lake (our summer hangout)... It was nice to be forced into relaxation, if only for a couple days. Once home we got back to finalizing things for the weddingS.

The weddings were wonderful.... That is all I can say. It was lots of fun to be a part of the duel celebration (that kept on going, and going, and going. Tyson and I just got home a few days ago from the LAST reception in Lafayette, CA. We are done traveling--until next week when we go BACK to CA for Court's homecoming..... YIKES! When will summer be over!).

Here are a few pictures from the past 6 week. Skipping the move, and beginning with the Bear Lake vacation.

Tyson and his best cuz Kaden riding a “4-willer” at Bear Lake. Notice the large protruding mass blocking his eyesight—that would be from his kamikaze ride down the CEMENT basement stairs a few days after we got here. Yes, it was Greg who was “watching” him.

Another shot of the HUGE forehead

Happy 4th of July!

Tyson and Kaden hanging out in Grammies special pool. She fills the pool with warm water for these little boys. Aren't they lucky?? (PS--I don't think she ever did that for us)

Amidst all of the craziness at our house, Daddy decided that it was time for the Pacifier Fairy to visit. So, much to my dismay, she did. It took Tyson a week of sadness to get over the loss of his little buddies.

Tyson wandering in our backyard. Isn't it pretty?

Wedding Pictures

Lacey and Jeff got married on Tuesday, in Timpanogos, and Faith and Shaun got married the next day in Salt Lake. Each couple had a luncheon on their wedding day, and then we had a joint reception on Wednesday night, after Faith and Shaun's luncheon.

__________

A quick shot of my mom on the morning of Lacey's wedding. Did I mention she went to the emergency room two nights before the first wedding with TWO kidney stones! Greg's sister, who is an angel and an ER nurse, rescued us by hooking her up to an IV the entire day before the wedding. We finally flushed out one of the stones, but due to LOTS of pain and nausea medicine, my mom was kind of a ZOMBIE at the first wedding, and still part-zombie the next day.

Greg and Tyson on "Pink Day"--Lacey's wedding day.

Tyson kickin' it in Grammie's wheel chair... She was so EMBARRASSED to use this!

Lacey with the kids-- Madison and Kaden (Leticia's kids), and of course, Tyson.
A quick little family photo at Lacey's wedding. Tyson, like his father, loves the warmth of my "neck". Any woman who is holding him, soon discovers this. He is such a boy!

Faith and Shaun Garff (with a tired little boy, "Ty-sooon", as they so lovingly refer to him)

I made Tyler take this picture of us. Greg and I got married in the Salt Lake Temple and our photographer, like every other photographer, stuck us up in this cavity for a picture. I thought it fitting to get an updated family picture. (PS-Tyler has NO interest in photography, so we were VERY lucky to get his one and only shot.)

The brand new Rich family, at Faith's luncheon

Zach and our FAVORITE sister-in-law, Jenny

As mentioned before, we had a reception in Utah and then two more in CA that followed. Due to my responsibilities as sister to two brides, I did not take pictures at those 3 events. They were fun, though, so I will try to get my hands on a few pictures, just to make sure I hold the World Record for longest post. (I feel like I am playing Settlers of Catan, and I already have the "Longest Road" bonus points, but just to ensure that I keep it, I am going to build a few more roads... That is what I will be doing when I add to this post.)

Oh David!

If I wasn't feeling that it was time to have another baby about 3 months ago when Tyson started talking up a storm--I am REALLY feeling it now. Here is Tyson reading his FAVORITE book to Greg. PS-I used to hate this book.... BORING, until I saw how much Tyson loved it and could [possibly] relate to it. Enjoy while I finish composing the marathon "catch-up" blog post.... my specialty.

Long Overdue

This little "FYI" is long overdue, but I just wanted to let anyone reading my blog to know about this cool new hair accessory I have stumbled across. One of my good friends out here in Florida has started an awesome new company--knotheads. These little hair things are very functional and fashion friendly. Check out the website for ways to order and how to use them (not hard at all!). I love them (and so do the contestants on American Idol. I believe they have even been featured in a couple magazines). Check the site out when you get a chance... very cool.

I attached a picture to peak your interest--and you know that it would be a picture of me if Greg would take one! But, since he won't... Here is my favorite use for Knotheads on a hair model...

Tyson FINALLY gets a baby

My boy (a bit like his momma) has a slight obsession with BABIES. So, as we were scanning the isles of Dollar General for some coloring books and play dough (I was babysitting my friends kids and didn't have much for them to do, with most of my stuff being packed up and all), when Tyson started yelling "Beeby, Beeby" instead of the usual, "Ball, Ball" it got my attention.

He has an unusual interest in babies (I am sure I have rubbed off on him slightly), and since this interest is a good one, I decided not to squelch it--I gave in (it was tough for me) and bought him his first baby doll (at least we found the one wearing blue!).

Once we had checked out with our coloring books, play dough and baby doll, I loaded Tyson in the car and called my mom (it was only 6:00 am in CA). She was sooo happy. She has a whole collection of the mini baby dolls herself. She was my easy reveal-- I was a little concerned as to what Greg's reaction would be.

He generally doesn't care if Tyson plays with "girl stuff" (we aren't too worried about him.. he is pretty much ALL boy. We both figure that a little Barbie/dress-up play is only softening our little rock). When Greg came home for lunch Tyson had moved on from his baby, but I made him show his dad what he got. Greg said, “What do you have, buddy? Oh, a baby. Can you give it a love? Good boy.” And that was the end of that.

So Tyson gets to keep on loving his baby doll!! Yahoo! Maybe it will bring us good luck :)

PS--I did NOT pose that pic... I snuck up on my loving boy. He is a natural!

Jax Ponderings

We have just 9 days left here in Jacksonville. I can't believe it. I have been packing like crazy and trying to squeeze all I can into our last week here.

The humidity is pushing me out... I am grateful for it, only because I would want to stay if it weren't here. So the one negative to Jacksonville (the humidity--REALLY bad for my hair), becomes a new positive, sending us off to bigger, better things.

I will always have fond memories of our time here. I had my first baby here! No one but my mother expected that to happen. I remember when I was in Las Vegas, a mere 3 hours away from her, dying to be pregnant. She told me that I wouldn't have a baby there--- it would be too much fun for us. I was very sad to see that she was right. Anyway, thanks to St. Luke's Memorial Hospital for my AMAZING baby (and delivery, too). I have tracked our time here in Jax with Tyson. Now that he is trying to be a 2 year old, it is time to go. He needs a backyard and some grandparents near. And his mom needs his dad to have a job. :)

I have been taking pictures and videos (of course) of my Tyce (<--- new nickname in honor of SYTYCD), so here is just a little update of my boy SPECIFICALLY FOR LINDSAY who requested it. Sorry for my STILL annoying voice and commentary, but Lindsay insists that those are the reasons the videos are fun to watch. Hope you all enjoy the clips at my expense :)

Yes, I love that he says "no", "no way", "ewww" and "yuck"...

A Plug for Sandy

A dear friend of mine, Joan Jolley, gave me some books for Tyson before he was born. I don't think I read any of them before he arrived, but we read them all of the time now. All of the books were written by Sandra Boynton. She is a very clever little rhymer. My favorite book of hers is called Hippos Go Berserk! I just read it to Tyson last night, and, again, was amused.Other books by her that we have and love: But not the Hippopotamus, The Going to Bed Book, and Moo, Baa, La La La!

ALOHA

Here are just a few pictures from our fun trip. ENJOY!

First, our home away from home

The view outside our bedroom window

Here's our group:

Greg and myself, (we are the TAN ones with smiles on our faces), Greg's brother, Chris (future business partner), his wife Sheri, and Greg's only sister, Laurie (front and center).

___________

So here is a little Kauai Fun Fact: Kauai is full of CHICKENS! There are chickens all over Kauai, just running around free. Greg says that long, long ago there was a big hurricane and all of the chickens got out and they have been roaming free ever since. I think they are even protected--they don't mention that in the travel brochures :) It is so funny to be basking in the beauty of Hawaii and then hear the clucking of hens, and peeps of chicks in the bushes near you. And it is really funny (and by funny I mean annoying) to hear the "roost" of a rooster (what is the cock-a-doodle-doo called?) not only in the morning, but all throughout your vacationing day. Chicken haters: BEWARE.

Everything else about Hawaii is just as it is portrayed in the travel brochures. The temperature is always perfect, the occasionally storm lasts only an hour or so, then it's back to perfection. It is not too hot, or too breezy. It really is the most beautiful, relaxing place I have been (which, granted, is not saying much since I am not a world traveler--But I don't go around saying just anything is beautiful and/or relaxing).

So for the girls on the trip, laying out (away from kids) trying to get a little sun and catch up on the Hollywood gossip was FANTASTIC. It was too much relaxing for Greg and Chris, though, to sit and read magazines and lay out. They found other things to do while we were enjoying the sun. Here are some shots of them "laying out".

In addition to laying out, we did this amazing hike recommended to us by our good friends, Scott and Jessica. The hike was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! We hiked along the Napali Coast (shown in the pic of Greg and I) to Hanakapi'ai Falls. This is Greg and me at the beginning of the hike. We hiked in 4 miles to the waterfall, and then, yes, that's right, 4 miles back out. I do not think I have ever hiked 8 miles in my life. I was VERY tired, and my feet are still recovering, but it was definitely worth it. Please note pictures do not do this place justice.

Greg and his sister, Laurie.

The resting spot, 2 miles down the mountain.

The last 2 miles were hiking in the mountain and to the falls.

HERE THEY ARE! Pretty, huh?

After our strenuous activity (the hike) we spent the rest of the week relaxing/recovering. We did the sunset catamaran tour of the Napali Coast. Best buddies ;)

Our last night in Kauai we spent watching the sun set and being sad about our return to the "mainland".

So there it is--I was off having way too much fun to post on my blog. Hopefully I can learn how to balance it all, because with another crazy summer ahead of us, there may be another month of post free Trappy Trails.
