Ketchup- Mustard!

It goes with out saying that its been A LONG time since I have blogged. Not only am I completely lost with this new blogging layout thing, but I am so far behind that I don't even know where to begin. I would love to catch everything up but for your sakes, I wont make this a huge post. You're welcome. Heres a mini Ketchup post .. get it? Ok only I thought that was funny huh!

Work update.. I got a job working with Tim at Infusionsoft. It has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I work in the Finance department and basically I call people and ask for money. Now you may think " what a boring job" but man I have the BEST co-workers around. Its basically like working with family. We pick on each other, pull pranks, and we've even gotten some pretty epic story telling (inluding dance moves, actions, and even song) from some of the men.( cough cough Bret Crosby!) I also work with some of the most brilliant people I have ever met in my life. I feel like a guppy in a shark tank and very often I feel like I don't deserve to be sitting in front of them. Most of the time I have NO idea what they are saying but they are awesome enough to either explain it to me or just allow me to nod my head and smile to let me feel included. I've learned so much there already but what I thought I knew is squat. I'm ok with that because I realize there is always room for growth and they are sweet enough to help me get there! This is one of our outings that we got to have.. Our boss Sam took us to Golfland and we got to dink around and play arcade games for our Friday afternoon. Its ok if your a tad jealous. ;)

Tim plays flag football for the Infusionsoft team. Him and his little brother Matt are hilarious to watch run around. Matt runs so blasted fast that you can hardly see his legs and Tim is always right there with him to guard and protect him. I LOVE going to their games and cheering them on! This was a practice before the game.. I wasnt fast enough during the game to get anything but blurry boys on a green field.

Baby Update... This is the one I know everyone is anxious for.. We are in the last inning here! BOO YA! She has had a few complications and scares along the way but the doc is very surprised and pleased that she has made it this long. She tried coming a few times in the early weeks and we had to slow things down, now that she is allowed to come out, shes gotten a little too comfortable and stubborn. Being stubborn was one of my qualities I prayed she wouldn't inherit, sorry in advance to her future husband for that one! I have had some pretty mean contractions in my back this week and she is riding lower than ever. I hope this means things are moving along and we will have her here soon! This has been an incredible ride. Lots of tears and trials along the way but I could not be happier. I have loved being pregnant! The kicks and wiggles have made my heart so happy.. Although I love being pregnant, I am SOOO ready to hold her and have her here!! Hopefully my next post will have some pics of the baby! WOO HOO! 37 weeks big! This was last weeks pic.

Tim +Tri = Baby Love

Warning This post is super long and contains TMI! Read at your own risk!!

As a few of you may or may not know, Tim and I want nothing more than to be parents. We had had a few hard times last year with loosing 2 of our sweet babies. I genuinely questioned if I would be able to muster the courage to try again. Thankfully I have a persistent husband who is so supportive. With his love, and a little( or maybe a lot) of help from modern medicine. Tim and I are THRILLED to announce that we are going to be parents!! WOO HOO!!

I found out in October, 2 days before my 23rd birthday. When I told Tim I was pregnant he said
" Babe I love that you are so excited but I already knew"
Seriously man, that's the epic reaction I get!! I had to laugh a little because he actually really did know. He had been joking about it for about 3 weeks and a few days before we found out he kept saying..."Its cause you are pregnant" I wasn't sure if I loved him telling me that or if I was supposed to be upset at that remark.
We told our families within minutes of finding out but kept everything pretty quite until our doctor decided to "clear" us of the scary zone. Apparently for most people that is 12 weeks.. for us, 17 weeks! BOO! How could I wait that long to share the excitement! I failed! I did tell a few people.

At 18 weeks, my little heart broke. One night about 8ish, I felt like something was wrong.Next thing I knew, I was bleeding. My heart sank, I immediately started crying and yelled for Tim to come in. He called my mom (shes super woman she knows everything I swear) and held me as I cried on the bed. We then called our doctor( who is AMAZING) and headed to the hospital. I cried the whole way there. I was even slightly upset with Tim because he stayed totally cool and kept telling me that everything was alright and I knew I was about to disappoint him again. When we were all checked in they put us in a room and we waited and waited. Tim kept trying to make me laugh by singing random songs or saying funny movie quotes. I didn't know how to take him. After 4 and a half hours of being poked and violated, they gave me an ultrasound! I was so excited until they wheeled me away without Tim! WHAT THE!! I cant do this by myself why take me from my husband come on now people!! The tech asked me if I wanted to know the sex of the baby.. I told her no. ( Am I a nut case, who waits to find out the gender with the 1st baby) I blame the hormones, fear, and possibly the fact that it was 1 in the morning. They brought me back in with Tim where he just came and held my hand while we waited for our results from the ultrasound
( They would not even tell us if they could see a heartbeat until a radiologist came in to read the results to us..I was super not ok with this!) Tim was so sweet in making sure that I was comfortable and that I was the best I possibly could be.. We waited until 2am ish and Tim had had enough. He went and got a nurse for me and made her tell me if the baby was ok. All she could tell me was that there was a heartbeat. RELIEF!!! They released us shortly after that and we went home.

One week later we were scheduled for our gender ultrasound..the night before, I could hardly sleep. Excited was an understatement!!! We went to work and it felt like the longest day of my life. (Our appointment was at 3) My sweet little momma drove down from Snowflake to be there with us for the big unveiling. When we got in the room, I sorta worried about things because of the week before. The first thing our tech did was show me the heartbeat and I got tears in my eyes. Our Tech was fabulous. She showed us all the little parts and organs. She set my mind at ease by telling me that everything looked perfect. Suddenly in the middle of her sentence she says.. Oh its a girl. ( I was looking at Tim when she said it so I snapped my head to look at her and said " what did you just say?" She said " You're having a little girl!" Oh the tears in my eyes. I looked at Tim to see his reaction..
"I knew it." He just smiled at me so big! He was so excited. I couldn't help but smile. ( Tim had NEVER called the baby 'him" or even 'it'. ) This baby was ALWAYS a girl to Tim. He knew it!! He was so excited. He wanted a girl so bad and now I am happy to say that Tim and I are so excited that we will be the proud parents of a sweet baby GIRL!! It really is such a blessing and we love her so much already. I love every single second of being pregnant, and I am so grateful for every ache, pain, and sleepless night!!! We are so blessed to have the chance to be parents. And we are grateful for the trials that we have had in order to get to this point. It makes everything all the better!!

And because No post is complete with out a picture..This is THE ONLY one I have of my belly.. It kinda just looks like a chub but I promise there is a baby.. 15 weeks pregnant here.

Family Pics 2011..

Tim has always been so sweet to humor me and take pictures. We hadn't had "family" pictures taken since we were first married so for Christmas I finally got some update pictures for mi casa. We work with one of the sweetest photographers in all the land. She is sooo talented and patient. I will tell ya'll a secret, trying to get a normal picture out of Tim and I is nearly impossible. Mostly because we feel so awkward taking pictures and bust up laughing every 3 seconds and the poses we come up with are quite the failures. Krista and her hubby David were INCREDIBLE to work with and I could not be happier with the results. If you want her info, holler at me you won't be disappointed. Here are a few of the ones we love.











And here are a few of the candid shots that Krista snagged while Tim and I were goofing off. Love them!








This one is Tim's brilliant idea. hahah

Tim was being a vampire. You know you're jealous of this. haha



We had such a blast working with her! I can hardly wait to update our picture frames. SCORE...

I stink at blogging.

Obviously it has been some time since I have last updated my blog. Maybe that's because I am lazy or maybe its because I don't have time.( were gonna go with the second option here folks) So let me just update you on whats been going down at the Reidhead house. In the last 7 months we have.

" We may not have it all together, but together we have it all." Love you family!

Love me some Sundays!

Sunday is easily my most favorite day of the week and I will tell you why..

1. I get to hold Tim's hand and listen to him sing in sacrament. ( He hates that I stop singing and look at him "funny" but his voice is one of the first things I fell in love with. How lucky am I that I get to sit next to my very own Michael Buble?)

2. I have the coolest calling ever! I was teaching with Tim and we taught the 7-8 year olds...Now that he has his new calling I was moved to a new class. I teach the 6-7 year olds in Primary. I have a GINORMOUS class and most of them love to be the center of attention. (loudest class EVER!!! ) My first 2 weeks really made me question if I was capable of teaching productively. I had convinced myself that I would not be able to handle that many kidos. I felt SOOO incapable and unworthy of such a great responsibility.

Let me tell you what though, I am so glad I have an amazing primary presidency that had a lot more faith in me than I did in myself. I LOVE my primary class. I can not wait to get in and teach them! I LOVE that my little girls find me before I get to the primary room. They ask to hold my hand or sit by me, they beg me to sit on my lap and cuddle in close when its cold in the primary room. ( Its the coldest room in the building, they even keep a stash of blankets for the kids). I LOVE that my little boys invite me to go watch them play soccer or come play basketball at their house. haha kids are the greatest. I am learning soo much from these little angles. I really love working with them!
3. Sunday naps. I am one lazy Susan when it comes to Sundays. I can make it through normal days without a nap but Sundays are something else. Half way through the day, I fall asleep wherever I am planted. Something is so wonderful about Sunday naps.

4. NO WORK! My job is pretty awesome but having a day with Tim not working basically rocks my socks. I love not having to do anything! Writing this I am sorta feeling like a Sunday Slob. hah don't judge! My house is a mess right now and I could probably be doing laundry but its Sunday... and therefore its cool if I don't worry about it.

Conclusion. ... SUNDAYS ARE THE BEST DAYS EVER!

Discovery

I went to the grocery store to buy mascara today. I walked around while I waited for the Saturday lines to die down a little. I normally try to grab a few cans of fruit, beans, or meat every time I go to walmart as a food storage add in. As I wandered the isles, I discovered this lovely tempting bottle of happiness.. and without thinking, it went into my cart.
When I got home I started putting things away. There it was just staring at me saying " I am worth the calories just go for it" Clearly I am easily tempted because I quickly remembered the delicious strawberries that had been screamin my name all day from the fridge. Tim started laughing when he saw that I was covering my strawberries in the heavenly goo..


And I am just now discovering that this glorious chocolate hazelnut heaven is the reason that my tummy hurts. I cant just eat one....Bad discovery.

In a nutshell

I have not posted in awhile, I do better writing things down in a personal journal but since I have recently decided to delete my facebook I will try to keep my few faithful readers up to date.... so in a nutshell...

In January my 22 year old Tim was called to be the Elders Quorum President in our ward. The night he was called, I laid in bed thinking to myself how funny life is. It is interesting to me how we are not in charge of our lives, only our decisions.The consequence of our decision is based on our ability to choose right and wrong.. If we are doing what we are asked to do and making good decisions, a higher source guides our lives step by step. Often taking our hands and placing us just where we should be. Tim constantly reminds me to do the things I am supposed to. ( Not that I need help with that people just sometimes I forget my tithing on the table or I may have left my primary book on the couch..twice.. don't judge me!) I could not go through this life with out him. I am just sure I would be lost. He amazes me.

February- Tim started his new job at infusion soft which is totally rockin his world. He LOVES it! I cant wait to ask him how work is going at the end of each day. He gets so excited to tell me about his day and what he has learned. I never hear a bad thing about it. They even give him breakfast every day.. WHAT THE HARRY! WHY DON'T I GET BREAKFAST!? Oh wait, that's because I am lazy and just don't want to get up to make it. We feel so blessed that he gets to have a job he loves...and free breakfast every day! YAY WOO HOO!

Nala got a haircut! Oh that little dog has me so wrapped around her finger...paw? Wait what? HAHA Seriously though , That little dog is my baby. She gets cute clothes.. and her hair all done up. ( that's what she gets for not having a baby in the house) but don't you worry your little heads friends... she loves it. I am pretty sure she loves it even more now that she is freezing all the time. Oh boo maybe I am just mean. BUT she really does bring a little umph into our house. We love that little fluffer!


BECAUSE NO POST CAN BE WITH OUT A PICTURE.. TAKE A LOOK AT NALAS SASSY NEW HAIR CUT! SOOO CUTE!

Welp, There really is a billion things more that happened in the middle of all this but like I stated at the beginning of this post.. this was a nutshell story! Hope you are all doing amazing!

Sweet temptation

Tim was recently suckered in to buying a few things from coworkers and families in the ward. I swear if you ever have a kid doing a fund raiser, go to Tim...he'll probably buy three of whatever you are selling. His recent buy..2 tubs of cookie dough! Oh sweet mercy Tim are you trying to make me fat!? How about the fact that its my favorite kind of cookie dough EVER.. I can hear my butt getting bigger every time I open the freezer for a bite of that sweet heaven!
My stars why must you be the only thing I crave all day long you blasted white chocolate cookie dough! You are torture on a day off!! I can't resist your charm and glorious taste!
So to all my friends.. don't judge me when I gain 10 pounds and look like a balloon..you'll know what its from!!

I love the Holidays! I wait all year for November to come around and say hello. I know I am a nut, dont judge me but I am constantly reminded of the awesome season every time I step foot out my door!! FINALLY GETTING COLD!! Ok Ok its not cold enough yet for one of these..but soon maybe!


November is the month of Thanksgiving( which I am sure you already know) cant wait to enjoy some fatty amount of food and fall asleep! Here are just a few things that I love about NOVEMBER!

1. FAMILY!! ...I LOVE spending time laughing and running around all the different theme parks like crazy people! I love watching my nieces and nephews soak up the magic of Disneyland! I love taking thousands of random pictures with my siblings doing awkward things while we wait in line! And I LOVE our weird family tradition to get old west pictures taken at Knotts Berry Farm on Thanksgiving day... We've done these silly pictures since before I was even born.


2. This man!! I know hes included in the family part.. but He deserves his own slot as well! Double Tim! I am the luckiest girl in the world! He puts up with all my crazy rantings about how we should decorate for Christmas the day after Halloween. He even cleans up after me when I make banana bread! He sings me Michael Buble's "Everything" When we get ready for bed. Oh I could go on and on.. I am so blessed to have him in my life.. So grateful to spend the holidays with the man that stole my heart! Hes so hot!

3. PIE!! It is the only time all year I am not judged for eating large amounts of apple pie! Oh heavens throw some whip cream on it and I am one happy camper.. We spend thanksgiving in Knotts Berry farm and let me tell you a little somethin somethin.. they have more kinds of pie than you can ever imagine.. yes be jealous!
Just looking at this apple piece of heaven makes my mouth water! HOOORAH!!


4. Weather! I love that the weather is cooling off. I wish we had more proof of the seasons changing...but I will gladly accept the fact I can open my windows at night.. all the proof I need is my very low electricity bill( no ac means low bills!! yay!)


5.CANDLES!!! There is something that screams fall and its the smell of my Christmas candles.. laugh at me you might.. but I light those things in November. Tim wont let me decorate quite yet so I get the Christmas spirit by lighting candles!



6. Christmas music! Anyone who knows me can tell you Im in love with Christmas music! It is my happy music! Tims been listening to it against his will and I think secretly he loves it!

Well I hope you all are doing wonderful and loving the holiday season! Stay Safe and be thankful!

... I'm a slacker thats why!

SOO much has happened since I last posted... why has so much happened you might ask, well I would be glad to tell you why...BECAUSE IM A SLACKER THATS WHY!! I have completely neglected the blogging world because of no other reason other than I am failing as a blogger! haha so here goes the mini readers digest version.
1.) Tim and I enjoyed a lovely vacation with my sweet older sister for a weekend.. there are a trillion pictures and since I am that little slacker, I am not gonna post them yet. BWAHAHAH
2.) I quit my job at the Physical Therapy office and now work in a wholesale boutique supplier called POUT IN PINK...if any of you have a girl out there, this might be the store you become addicted to quickly. not gonna lie, I dont have kids and I spend my paycheck there to stock up. It really is pathetic. Pretty sure I need a child.. (and just you wait when that happens Ill get a boy haha). but go check out the site poutinpink.com and be amazed!
3.) Tim and I hit 1 glorious year of marriage!! I could write the longest blog post in history about how much I love and adore that man, but Ill save that for the picture post that I plan on doing after we celebrate our anniversary a month late ( yes im a slacker at marriage sometimes too dont judge me! hahah)
4.) I decided that I am going to start doing hair again for less than HALF of what you would normally pay in a salon. so if you are interested in that shoot me a text, call, email, facebook, or post on this bad boy!
5.) my baby sister is gettin hitched this weekend so tim and I are plannin another road trip home!! cant wait for the glorious weather!! Thats right..be jealous! haha

ok sorry this is the lamest post ever! no pictures, no details, nothing really interesting for this one!! hope youre all doing well!!

AWE LOVE

Let me just start by simply stating.. I really do know that I am a blogging slacker. I get so caught up in stalking everyone elses blogs that I forget to do my own blog. I really am sorta a boring person but maybe here are the latest updates on Tim and I..

Last weekend we were able to travel to Utah for the Reidhead Family Reunion. This is a huge event that happens once a year. This year, I got to be a part of it and it was such a blast!!! We could not decide if we wanted to take our little fluffy puppy along for the ride. We did not know if we could leave her behind but were sorta worried that she would not have an easy ride.. but alas, we could not leave this little face behind. We just love her too much to forget her if even for a few days.




We left at 7pm and I was sooooo tired, however, we made it safely and were ready for the days events...even if we were mostly asleep. haha We got to the reunion and I realized, that I did not know half of Tim's cousins ( which was not really a surprise because there are about 7 million of them) We played some sweet games and ate some delish food!!! Then of course... we took a few pictures!!















Then we headed off to pizza hut for lunch!!! During our waiting session.. the girls got hungry and as I sat across the table from them, this is what they were doing...maybe we needed to feed them faster!






Then we got our pizza and bam..it disappeared!



After that we went back to the park and had dinner and a slide show of the growing family that surrounded us! What an amazing and beautiful experience it was!! I love the Reidhead family! I am so blessed to be a part of it!

Shes all grown up

Last Weekend my little sister came down to the valley to go wedding dress shopping for her big day! In my head she is supposed to be little forever and always be a child but it was super fun to see her as a bride! We literally spent only about an hour at the dress shop. She tried on some gorgeous gowns but picked the very first dress that she tried on and she looks PERFECT in it! I wish I could post a picture but, I dont want to ruin the surprise!

After we went shopping my sweet little mommy took all the sisters out to Olive Garden...YUMMY! Then we all headed to the mall.. these pictures are not the best because I took them on my phone. Apparently you are not supposed to take pictures of things in the store...too bad! BAHAH

This is Lacey and her firey redhead bridesmaids. .. such firecrackers but such sweethearts!



Tiff Really Felt this bow showed of her feminine side.. or her fish side.


I could not help but laugh when Ella popped behind Tiff so awkwardly for this picture. Tiff had no idea she was standing behind her. I love my sister in laws!


I am so glad Lacey is getting ready to join the married club! Shes such a fun little thing and it will be nice to have her move closer to me once she is married! I just love my seesters!!

In the last few weeks...

Well the last few weeks have been a little crazy and my blogging has gotten a little backed up.. so here is a catch up post.. yes its long, Ill try to keep it as short as I can.. HERE WE GO!

June 24, 2010 was my surgery date. As many of you know I had the biggest miracle of my life with this surgery... Everything went really well, minus the fact the mass was WAY bigger than expected and had some fingers attached that wrapped themselves around nerves,arteries, and bones in my wrist. They tested the mass for any signs of cancer and everything came back negative! We are both really relieved at this point! My mommy came down and was SUCH A BLAST! That little woman is super mom Ill tell you what! I am so lucky to have her in my life! I wish I had a cute picture to post of her adorable little self we probably would have freaked out with out her!
Although Not fully recovered, I am doing amazing and can FINALLY touch my pinky to my thumb and move my wrist in a circle!! Its been 3 years since I could do that! ha But seriously folks, we could not be more grateful for our surgeon. Dr. Fitzmaurice is the man!!! He did the mass removal and a carpal tunnel release on my hand, so there are 3 little scars.

This picture is 5 days Post Op and looking good!! (These next 2 Pictures are taken with my phone and are not such good quality.)



I think this 8 days Post Op..Still some bruising but not too bad as far as scaring will go!! woo hoo..


As previously mentioned, Tim and I now have a new addition to our little family! She is probably the funniest little puppy EVER! Tim gets her to growl and her growl sounds something between a high pitched cat purring and human doing the Spanish r sound ( if that makes any sense at all) She brings such a joy to our lives and she really is so stinking cute.Plus she is getting fat, which makes us love her a little more because she is a fat chub chub! haha We took her to the vet for a check up and she did so good.. then we took her to Snowflake with us for the Fourth and she slept the whole way there and back. She runs after us if we go up the stairs but sometimes cant jump the stairs cuz she is so small. She has to sit right next to your feet if you are not playing with her. She does not leave our sides. We are so grateful for a sweet little puppy that loves to be loved!





My baby sister got engaged... It was sorta bitter sweet for me, mostly because in my head she is supposed to be a baby forever. She literally just graduated this year but her fiance is a stud!! Such a good man and he is perfect for her! I am very excited for her!!!! CONGRATS LITTLE SIS!

The Reidhead family is SUPER athletic!This year they decided that they would play in the snowflake softball tournament.Tim did not sign up fast enough,but truth be told, I was really glad that he was there to sit with me.. I was only a few days out of surgery and I was feeling rather needy.. we did not take a whole lot of pictures this trip.. I am not really sure if that is because we were so busy or if I was just lazy.....Lets go with the busy excuse!

I love my darling hubby!! He does such a good job putting up with my photo addiction!! Hope everyone had an amazing holiday!!

We're expecting

Lately I have been feeling slightly baby hungry...ok not really slightly, more like insanely baby hungry!! HAHAH I'm almost certain its because I have had some little babies enter my life latey... Here are just a few of the important babies that we have welcomed in to our lives in the last month!!

This is my older sister's baby Zoey. She is such a cuddle bug and she is so sweet! I wanted to steal her away from my sister, but alas...she would not let me. .. out of all their kids, Zoey is the only one that looks like my brother in law. She is soo cute and little!! We love her and wish we had more time with her! ( They live so far)
This sweet little boy is Jaxon Reidhead. Oh he is SUCH a sweet little man. He has the biggest eyes and just wants to tuck in his legs and cuddle with you....Tim is so cute with him, it really really made me excited to see Tim holding Jax! Oh he is a doll!! We love him!!

This little angel is my best friend Jonique's baby! She has SOO much hair ( as you may be abe to tell) and she has the sweetest temperment I have ever seen in a baby! When we were at the hospital with her parents, Tim told me that she made him want one.. Those were words he had not said to me and actually meant. She must be special! We love her!

Well although we would love to have one, its just not in the cards for us quite yet!! I really wanted a cuddle baby that I could just love on and take care of. Tim finally broke down and told me that he would get me something.. This is what we got!! Oh such a joy! We bought her from the nicest lady EVER whom we just enjoyed talking to! We found our little baby and we get to pick her up pretty soon!! We are SOOOO excited. Its a good alternitve for a baby..and a lot cheaper. haha So no baby quite yet, but someday soon...WE HOPE! For now though, we will love on our little baby puppy and she will be the most spoiled puppy ever!!!!

I made Tim take me to petsmart and buy the cutest softest PINK (naturally) bed that we could find and pretty much all the accessories that she will need...all PINK!! HAHA I love this puppy already I can NOT wait to have her in our home!!

We do not have a cute little name yet for her, so if anyone has any sweet ideas we could really use the input!!!

hawaii 2010!

Tim and I were never able to take a honeymoon after we got married because of work. Once we realized it was entirely necessary for a break to keep our sanity, we started planning a vacation. ( and by "we" I mean "I") i looked for months for a sweet deal and finally found one to MY favorite vacation spot ever!! We spent 10 days in Heaven!! I never wanted to leave, but ill admit, it was nice to come home and sleep in our own bed and see our families. This is going to be a huge picture post. Ill try to caption the pictures but I think they pretty much speak for themselves..

On the bus to our hotel.. We woke up at 5 that morning to travel and its really easy to tell we were tired...but still so stoked to be in HAWAII!! WOO HOO!


Tim and I really wanted to go to the temple. Its gorgeous and we were able to see some awesome people there!!


This cute couple lives in Hawaii. Kilie and I went to high school together, and I had not seen her since....We both married the boys we sent on missions. She helped me through a lot, and I don't think she ever even knew it.

Tim and I were going to be big tourists this trip.....Apparently so was the couple taking the picture with us! hahaha

I love all things history so it was a huge deal for us to go to Pearl Harbor. Its such a unique spot to tour. It was so quiet, people were so respectful, it was clean, and they even had survivors of the attack at the front so you could talk to them. It was really neat to see it with Tim.

Sometimes, Tim is a big kid. He cracks me up.

Conversation with Tim regarding this propeller....

"Tim look a flower!!"

"Trina that's a prop, they use those on ships to move."

"I was wondering why they would want a big metal flower."
We went on lots of tours.. This one is my favorite cuz it takes you to places like the Dole Pineapple Plantation...And they have ice cream there!!

Tim the Pineapple!!! So cute!

As a pineapple I can hula!!

Reidhead Pineapples!!

Anyone that knows me knows I could literally live on Ice cream...This ice cream could change the world! ...NOT JOKNG!!! Easily one of the most fantastic things ever!!!

hahah guess what kind of nut they grow here in Hawaii!!! we got free samples.. AND ice cream, BEST TOUR EVER!!

just cuz he is so good looking!! owe owe hubs!!

Craziest wind EVER!! It just about knocked me over!

Hunama bay snorkeling!

We got to go to the PCC...AKA, one of the funnest days of our trip!! Our favorite island was Samoa.

This man loved Tim's laugh, but then again, who doesnt? ahah Tim thought he was the funniest guy and would burst our laughing in spots where nobody else got the joke. I love his laugh, and his random bursts of giggles. It brings me so much joy!

They threw Tim this woven square ball thing and he was SO excited about it. hahahahah He is so easy to make happy! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!

They were so much fun to watch!!!Canoe Parade..

This is before the dinner!! SOOO good.. I think we would get fat if we lived in Hawaii because the food there is ...INCREDIBLE!!!!

We spent almost every day in the water! We loved the ocean and all the little fishes that were in it!! The water is so blue that you can see your feet when you stand in it!! We loved every minute.. well minus the mean sunburns! haha

We got to go snorkel with all the fishes.There were LOTS of big fish in the water that day, and some crazy waves that made me sick when I just floated so we had to constantly swim.

Tim Loved the water!!

Conversation with Tim while we were enjoying the sun....

"Trina have you ever built a sand castle?"

"Yes honey, I was like 5"

Couple minutes pass......

"Trina have you ever covered someone in sand?"
"Not that I can remember...why ?"

"Can you cover me in the sand?"

Tim digs a hole and jumps in, I start covering him

" Tim I feel like I am 5 again"

"I feel like there is sand in my pants"
HAHAHAH I LOVE MY HUSBAND!

I had to write him a love note in sand!!!

Kickin back and relaxing, this is at our hotel .

HAHAHAHAHA nice buns hun.

We were ready to go home to our house, sleep in our own beds, see our sweet families, and spend some time with our best friends!!!

Apparently they were excited to see us too, this is what we came home to.. HAHAH needless to say, we felt pretty special!!!

We had SUCH a blast relaxing and just doing whatever we wanted when we wanted. It was a nice break from work and an AMAZING time together! I loved having Tim to myself for 10 days! Im sooo glad that I get him for eternity!! We are so grateful we got the chance to go...we've even started to save for next years trip!!!!!
