Seriously I feel WAAAAAY bigger this time around! I put on my "Photography pants" for a wedding I'm about to leave for and they are seriously tight!!
Time to bust out the stretchy stuff soon. Luckily I haven't gained any weight though. I'm hoping for it to be like last time - I gained only 15 pounds with Ryenne and she weighed nearly 10 of it!

A Southern Breakfast
Here I am after a nice brunch of roasted potatoes with onions, sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs sipping on my homemade sweet tea...
I've had this craving for almost a week now! I finally felt well enough to make it this morning.
So many updates... Well for all of you readers who don't know - RYENNE IS GONNA BE A BIG SISTER!!! Such a huge, happy surprise for us! I'm almost through with the first trimester (two more weeks to go) and I hope that I'll feel better by then!
I have so many pictures to put up, but I can't find my special card reader for the little camera. I took Ry to the beach a few days ago and got some really great shots. Then we played with a big pot outside and I got pictures of her sitting in it. I felt so bad we didn't have a pool for her so I went to Wal-Mart and bought one. We'll probably put it up this afternoon. She's such a water baby! I can't wait to post recent pics of her. Need to find that darn card reader!!

Some Pics Finally!
These are all from the past few days on the big camera. The little camera is still chalk full of new images that I'm just too lazy to put on the computer! haha
I especially love the one of her hugging her Pepper Dog and the one of her scrunching her face. She's such a funny little girl!

I wish! I wish!
We're all feeling back to normal thank goodness! That cold really kicked our butts! It's still stormy and rainy out here in Haiku every single day. I think it hasn't risen to above 70 degrees since we got home.
I have pictures to put on here, but they're on the other computer so I'll do that later.
Ryenne is growing a flourishing - she is amazing. She watched a cartoon today called Dragon Tails and the kids say "I Wish! I Wish" to go to Dragon-land. So Ryenne hopped off the couch and started saying "I WISH! I WISH!" It was the cutest damn thing ever!
She's been napping like a champ since I quit drinking anything with caffeine a couple weeks ago. I never knew that her non-napping was related to me being a coffee addict! I've been so relieved to be getting one to two hour naps out of her daily. With the cool weather I've been prone to nap with her =)
Been checking out real estate online in various places. Don't think I'll ever get to leave Maui but one can hope! hahahaha

We're home now but...
We're sick!!
The flight home went well - Ryenne was awake the entire time. We left Huntington Beach at 5:30am and I thought for sure she'd go down for the plane but she didn't. We got back home at noon and Peter was already sick a few days in Anaheim and Huntington Beach.
I started getting stuffy headed and by that evening, we both had full blown head colds. Ryenne has been totally fine. She's been sleeping well and is super active. Peter and I, however, have been sick this entire time.
He's had to take time off from work to recover which has hurt us financially big time. But resting is what we both need right now!
I'm hoping that we'll be 100% better really soon!

Dinner with Mariflor & Glen
Mariflor and Glen drove up from San Diego and we had a BBQ dinner at Lucille's BBQ. Ryenne was such a good girl and LOVED ribs! That was her first time having them and she kept saying "More! More!"
DISNEYLAND!!!
Ryenne has blown me away at Disneyland. I figured she was going to be way too young to really appreciate this magical place. But upon entering, her eyes grew big and she pointed out characters and has had the most gigantic smiles on her face.
While she's too young for the big rides, she has enjoyed many rides. Among her favorites are the Tiki Tiki Room, the Winnie the Pooh ride, Buzz Lightyear, and the Casey Junior Train.
Our first day at Disneyland was on Wednesday and we stayed in the park as long as we could but got too cold and had to go back to the hotel (Isn't SoCal supposed to warm?). We did California Adventure on Thursday and went back to DLand on Friday. But by Friday the park was PACKED and we didn't ride anything.
The moment we stepped onto Disney property, I felt like I was 6 years old again. It's been amazing to experience Disneyland through the eyes of Ryenne. As we went through the park and she was so excited, all I could think was "GOD BLESS YOU WALT DISNEY!". It's truly amazing and magical.
Ryenne met several characters, but her favorites by far were Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger. She kissed Pooh's nose and wanted to eat his honey out of the honey pots!

More Oregon Pictures
Here's some pictures from our last days in Oregon. I think I mentioned before how amazing the house was that we stayed in - we had to get a picture on the front porch! The group picture is all of us "The Gang". It was so much fun hanging out with everyone! And the picture in front of the fireplace is our 'Ohana and the Utrillo 'Ohana - just before we're leaving to go to Anaheim!

Oregon Pictures So Far
Today was a beautiful day! We went on a horse drawn carriage ride today. Ryenne was in heaven. She loved the horses so much! It's cold and beautiful out here. The snow is magical and sparkles in the sunlight.
It is a strange place though - definitely not as culturally diverse as Hawaii is. This entire time I have not seen one Asian person, any black people, and I only saw three Mexicans. Strange!!

We Saw Snow!!
We're in Oregon right now for Heidi & Aris' wedding and we woke up this morning to see snow falling for the first time! It was so amazing! We're staying in a 5000 square foot home in Sunriver with an indoor pool. It's an amazing home!
We're taking lots of pictures and will be posting soon!
