ALOHA!!!! Hawaii with the entire FAM-DAMILY!!

Hawaii from July 23rd- August 3rd.

Here is a quick recap- we arrived on the evening of the 23rd. We ate dinner and costco and headed to the North Shore located beach house where we were staying. The house was awesome! It was tiny and had no air conditioning at ALL! but it was a screamin good deal so we couldn't really complain. The largest capacity this house has ever housed before us was 9. Our party had 17... yeah it consisted of 3 bedrooms a tiny living room/kitchen and 1 bathroom... really... that says enough about the trip right there, but I'll continue just for fun. That night crey and the boys(my brothers, brother in-law and nephews) headed down to the ocean which was approximately 15 steps away from out back door. Talk about perfect! The next day we visited the Dole Pineapple plantation, it was fun very informative about how pineapple was a multi-billion dollar idea and the pineapple ice cream at the end of the tour made it all worth while. The next day we visited Pearl Harbor, this is a very cool place to visit - however- I would NOT recommend taking a 2 year old and a 1 year old...Seriously!!!! The next day we went to a swap meet super fun! I got 2 swimming suits for $20.00 you can't get that kinda deal here that's for sure! The next day we went to church. It was so fun to see that even the locals wore crazy flower printed dresses and not just us tourists. After church me and crey went and walked about a mile or so along the beach and saw some turtles it was so so sooooo fun to see them so close. I'm talking within 2 feet. Monday - I believe we finally had a chill day, which was well needed. We spent the entire day on the beach and it was SO FUN! I can't exactly remember what we did the rest of the days but we had a lot of fun, we went into town one day Halewia and I loved this city. We visited Hunama Bay, the snorkeling was awesome here... it was a little over crowded and I probably wouldn't ever go here again but it was cool. One day we hiked Diamond Head, it was about a 90% incline going up over 500 steps and once again I would NOT recommend bringing a 1 or 2 year old on this... and the fact that 3 of us girls were prego didn't make the hike amazingly enjoyable. We chilled a few more days and got our relax on, on the beach. One day we went on a hike with our friend Kylie who lives in Hawaii- lucky girl! and even though this hike was completely free and it poured the entire hike I would have to say this hike was the highlight of the trip for me. It was incredible! The boys all did some cliff diving and it was like we was walking through the set of lost. Thick jungle fun-nes. One day we went to the PCC this was a super fun attraction. It's pretty pricey but if your parents are paying by all means partake. I had low expectations of what to expect and I was PLEASANTLY surprised with how entertained I was. There were a few days that Crey and my brothers surfed, skimmed boarded, body boarded, and did some stand up paddle boards, and the whole while I had to sit my butt down on the beach and just watch =( . That was probably the hardest part of the whole trip for me. I love playing in the ocean and I was so sad I couldn't do anything but a little snorkeling and swimming. oh well Hawaii will always be there so I guess I will have to go back when I am not pregnant. I have been once before to MAUI and I had the time of my life so maybe I will take Crey there someday. All in all Hawaii was an awesome trip - having such young kids with us in such a tiny house made for some seriously sleepless nights for all of us, but it was still a blast and my parents paid for everything so I can't really complain about a thing. My feet just about doubled in size on the plane ride home so I was a tiny miserable... ok I was really miserable the entire flight and they only do red-eye flights from so that sucked, and my 2 year old nephew ended up screaming for about 45 minutes and everyone on the plane wanted to kill him but that's what you can expect when you take a 2 year on a 6 hour plane ride.

The pic above is at the dole plantation. Awesome flowers everywhere!
These two were taken in our back yard. The one above is one of my favorites of me and Crey
Look how stinkin cute my nephews are!!!!
Crey getting his surf on. I was so jealous.

Good times snorkeling. If I wasn't so freakin scared of sharks I would have enjoyed it a lot more!
My big belly. In hawaii we felt the baby move for the first time, Crey was sitting right next to me so he felt it when it moved, it was so cool!

This was some of the most delicious sea food EVER!!!

PROMOTING ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!!

Hey guys..

Crey's company (GoDavis.biz) is doing good, but we want it to do even better! 

So, we found a company in Davis County that does vehicle wraps (Goodson Signs). Crey did some trade with them, and he wrapped our Xterra.

Here is how it looks! It's Awesome! We have already had tons of people talk to us about it...anything to get more business right?

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!

The first test showed me 2 red lines I gasped and tossed it to Creighton telling him what 2 red lines meant. He insisted I use another just to make sure. Well I had to wait 15 minutes because I had previously emptied my bladder on the first test. Then.... BAM!!! a second stick indicating positive! P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T ! Not satisfied I grabbed Crey and headed for Walmart. It was 11:45 p.m. at this point and we just so happened to bump into his brother and sister at the store. But no worries my husband is a fast thinker he just mentioned how he hated being out of milk, we said goodbye and pretended to head to the dairy. We waited until they left and quickly almost old lady-ish dashed to the women isle. I snagged a box of 2 you can never be to certain with these things. We got home and well... as the pictures indicate all 4 came out positive. So after the sheer shock I realized wow... i'm going to be a mom.

I called the Dr. and 3 weeks later they gave me my first ultrasound and we saw our babies heartbeat. That moment was awesome. Lately I have been nauseous almost 24/7 and have no appetite for food =( this breaks my heart because as anyone who knows me can tell you I LOVE food! I mean really really really LOVE food. And the problem is if I don't eat somewhere around every 2 hours the pain and nausea triples. Oh the joys of being pregnant. Don't get me wrong with this story that I don't want to have kids... I want kids!! I just always thought I would more prepared and less surprised. But I guess this just makes it that much more fun. I couldn't be more excited and December 9th seems like a life time away.

This is how we told our families, seeing different reactions to his shirt was PRICELESS!

ELDER GREEN going to BRASILIA!!!

Crey's other younger brother Elias just got his mission call and is going to Brasilia!!!  He definitely thought he was going state side, but he was beside himself with excitement when he saw he was going to Brazil!  Crey is stoked for him because he also served in Brazil and knows what an awesome missionary his little brother will make!  WE are so proud of you ELIAS!!! 

Look how fetching cute Ell is!! 

Elder Green - home from TEXAS!

This is Crey's oldest younger brother Michael.  I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him before his mission.  So after a year and a half of marriage I got to meet Crey's little brother that I heard so many awesome stories about.  I got to chat with him the night before he flew in and I told him small hug at the airport would suffice and we would worry about establishing a friendship later.  He agreed.  It didn't take us more than 5 minutes to see we were going to be buds!  He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met.  He reminds me a lot of Crey and that is a way good thing! He is an awesome brother in law!!!  I married into the coolest family EVER!!!

I love this pic of Elias, this is right after we returned home from the airport.  What a good DAY!

My 23rd Birthday!!!!

So basically if there was a nomination for most romantic husband in the world award I would have to say mine would be the winner!

GET THIS! -

So I have been telling Crey for months that I really wanted a Tahitian pearl to put on a necklace like his moms.  Most of the time when I would tell him I would have a huge grin on my face and we both understood it was just wishful thinking.  

WELL he took my birthday to a whole nother LEVEL!! He called up his dear sweet Grandma Carol and asked her a few questions next thing I know he takes me out to lunch and tells me to close my eyes and hold out one hand.  Did I have any expectations or suspicions of what was coming??? NONE!! so next thing I know I am holding this gorgeous 10 MM black tahitian pearl in my hand!!!  I basically jumped out of my seat! Here is a picture!

Then to make my night even better he took me out to dinner to one of my most favorite restaurants... The Macaroni Grill and got me some delicious chocolate cake to eat with a candle in it and all!

As we were waiting for our food we decided to write a list of our top 10 things about each other. 

- I will have to say the "Booster Upper" is my favorite =)
