For our one year anniversary and baby moon, Keith and I made our way back to Kauai (our favorite Hawaiian island so far).

Since our last trip to Kauai was jam packed with hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, zip lining and a glider tour around the island, we decided this trip would be much more low key. And that it was…we literally did nothing but lay by the pool, walk the beach and surrounding areas, eat, watch movies and sleep. The place we rented was awesome and we had an amazing view of the beach and bay. The best part was sitting on the balcony with Keith (minus our phones) where all we did was talk and enjoy each other’s company.

It’s crazy to think that was one of our last vacations sans kids but we’re looking forward to taking them there someday. With that I end this post with Aloha!

Happy Anniversary to my loving husband, best friend and baby’s daddy. Looking forward to another fun-filled (and most likely sleepless) year!

Here’s to many more! ❤

That was one of the best quotes of the weekend courtesy of Sunny Noh. 😉

To back track…earlier this year, the girls and I had talked about planning a trip somewhere for our 10 year college graduation anniversary. Seriously can’t believe it’s been that long already! After some back and forth, we landed on Lake Chelan – a local destination where we could get plenty of sunshine.

The girl’s trip was this past weekend and although were only gone for a couple of days, we sure had a blast. From laying out in the sun, to pizza and Cards Against Humanity, to wineries and shenanigans at Señor Frogs, we enjoyed every minute of it. This was my first time going on a girl’s trip where I couldn’t drink and let me tell you…it was not as fun being the sober one but I still loved hanging out with my best friends.

Here are some photos from the trip – mainly all from Kerry’s camera since I barely took any (boo!):

Keith and I have a ritual before bed – he reads and I watch videos (usually trailers on IMDb or YouTube videos). The other day I came across a video that Conan O’Brien and Dave Franco did together last week. Usually Keith gets annoyed if I watch more than a few videos, but this time, he was intrigued. The video is about Conan and Dave joining Tinder, a social networking app that allows people to meet others in their area – pretty much a dating app.

Anyway, I’ll let you watch the video on your own but man did Keith get a kick out of Conan’s fake name. I haven’t seen him laugh that hard, well since the previous day. I make him laugh often. 🙂

I know I said the baby’s nickname was going to be Big Foot but that’s been overruled by Keith and it’s now Chip Whitley.

My cousin, Amy, had her baby back in April and I was one of the first to meet her! Growing up, Amy and I had dolls that we called our babies and now she has a real one!

The best part about meeting my niece was that Amy and Aaron named her middle name after me. I’m still so honored to share my middle name with this little munchkin.

In preparation for our summer BBQ and gender reveal party, Keith took on the task of reworking our backyard.

The previous owners had filled the backyard with bushes and shrubberies that we didn’t care much for. We decided to strip out what we could and make the grass area as big as it could get. After a couple weeks of manual labor, Keith with the help of our good friend, Mike, was able to finish the job. I’m very proud of my husband for taking this on – he went in with no knowledge of landscaping and ended up with a beautiful new yard!

The first two pictures below show the step-by-step stages Keith took in getting our yard in tip top shape. If you look closely in the first picture, you’ll see Pearl taking her last poop on the old grass before it was taken out. The last picture shows the final product – “try my product” (inside joke between Keith and I).

Keith and I planted some pretty petunias in the front yard this weekend. They definitely help class up the front of our house, thought Pearl’s not too impressed.

That is all.
