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!!!!!
