Our HONEYMOON in PARADISE!!!


Well here it is as promised... Pics from our honeymoon in Hawaii!

This is us waiting to board the plane to get outta here!


Sunday morning in Maui. The banana tree outside our condo... on our way to the beach.
Danny checkin out the snorkel gear while I lounged on the sand.
Sunday afternoon we drove to Lahina and walked around and had dinner on the beach at Bubba Gumps
Our attempt to see the sunset
in Lahinia... we missed it.Danny posing at bubba gumps on the famous bench in the shoes... laughed our bums off.




Monday morning we decided to get up at 2:30 am and drive to the top of the volcano... we could not even begin to say the name... and watch the sunrise. It was so freaking cold and we had nothing warm to wear. I about froze my kahooties off!
finally here it comes...

It ended up being absolutely beautiful! I am so glad we did it!


Monday morning after getting back from the sunrise and a little r and r, we drove the famous Hana Highway... it was so much fun. We took a picnic and our snorkel stuff and stopped along the way to play in the water and eat and just enjoy beautiful Maui!



These are just some of the water falls and places that we were able to stop at on our 5 hour drive around the island!

Tuesday morning we took surfing lessons... we have pics of it but I don't have them on my computer yet... and it was so much fun. Danny seriously kicked butt, me on the other hand... I surfed to the shore only three times in the two hour lesson, but hey, I think my arms got a little stronger from paddling out!


Tuesday night was our last in Maui so we got dressed up and went to a nice dinner... It was fun and way way good! It is really hard to find somewhere without all seafood in Hawaii, but somehow we finally hit the jackpot!



Wednesday was a travel day for us... our little hop to Oahu. We got to Oahu around 4:30 and then we just walked the streets by the beach and did some shopping. We had dinner on the beach at Burger in Paradise and went back to the hotel!!!



Thursday morning we went to the North Shore and went and did a session at the temple... then we spent the day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was a blast. We bought us some Hawaii gear while street walking Wednesday night and wore it to the temple on Thursday... How cute is my new dress? And not very often do you see a Hawaiian mens shirt that isn't cheesy but I really liked this one we found Danny.



Us at the temple on Oahu after our session... That temple is BEAUTIFUL!



Another pic in front of the temple...



The boats at the Polynesian center... Danny REALLY liked the girls in the yellow dresses... they could definitely swing those hips





On Friday we went to Pearl Harbor... This is us out on the USS Arizona. It is such an amazing sacred place... very cool feeling there.







We went to this little hole in the wall place on the side of the road to find some lunch... it was actually AWESOME pizza. We loved it. PS. Check out the disease on my mouth. Guess there was way too much kissing, pineapple and sunshine going on. Danny still kissed me even though my lip was grosser than gross! Man, he MUST love me!





We took a tour of the Bowfin submarine... it was way fun. This is us driving it and the one below is Danny sleeping in the bunks!



This is us at the USS Missouri. It was awesome. It is the ship where the papers were signed that ended WW2.







And last but very not least... the one and only sunset we were able to actually see happen in Hawaii. We missed it every single night. I told Danny we absolutely could not miss it the last night. He drove all over creation trying to find me the perfect spot to watch it. This was a naval pier we ended up stopping on. It was beautiful!







Aloha Hawaii... thank you for treating us so well and we can't wait to visit you again!


And thanks to you babe for taking me somewhere I had always wanted to go... especially for our honeymoon. I can't wait to share it with you again someday! I love you!

stAy at HoMe mOm!

Well, it is finally here... my very first week as a stay at home mom. It has been totally awesome. It seriously is my dream come true!! It has been very entertaining and a little hectic at times, but overall awesome! We started Kam potty training on Wednesday and it has been so good. She hasn't had an accident since yesterday morning and she even pooped on the potty this morning. I was telling Danny last night, I never in a million years thought I would feel such a sense of accomplishment by someone peeing on the potty. Man, my life has changed in the last year! Kadee is doing so good in school and I am having so much fun watching her learn and grow up so fast the last month. So, anyhow, this mom thing is all I thought it would be and more. I can't get enough of the girls or my wonderful husband. I am so thankful that he is taking such good care of us and giving me this wonderful chance to stay home and be the mom I have always dreamed of being. Honey, have made every one of my dreams come true. I love you!

Mrs. Danny Aguirre!!!




Well, I am back from Hawaii and the honeymoon of my dreams with my best friend and new husband, Danny. Everything went so great. The night before the wedding we had the dinner with our families and it was amazing. It was so great to hear all of the things that our families thought about us getting married and made me even more positive that Danny is the one I wanted to spend eternity with! The wedding went off without one complication... other than my hair piece being left in my trunk... sorry for the wait people. The ceremony was amazing. Before we went into the sealing room we were in the Celestial room for about 25 minutes and it was so cool to sit there with Danny knowing that we were about to make a covenant that would bind us for eternity and this is always what it would be. It was so surreal. After the ceremony the day continued to go wonderful. It was so fun to have so many friends and family at the temple and at the reception to share in our love. It made us so happy to have all of you there. Thank you so much for the efforts you made to be there. We went to Hawaii on our honeymoon and it was unreal. I really do believe now that Kollette was right, Hawaii was made for me! We spent the first half on Maui and then went to Oahu. We have tons and tons of pics I will post, but I need to find the SD card from the trip.


I am happier than I ever thought possible. I never in a million years would have dreamed that this is where life was leading me, and I am so so so grateful that this was the destination. Danny is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I feel so content and complete, as cheesy as that is, with him in my life. I love Kadee and Kambrie so much and I am so excited to help mold them into the great people that they are. I loved the wedding and the honeymoon but I am so excited to get regular life started. The last two nights going to sleep with Danny next to me and waking up to him here is amazing. It is starting to feel real and it is AWESOME! I couldn't ask for anything more. I love you baby!

laSt mInuTe dEtAils...

So, here it is... two days until the wedding and I am doing all of the last minute stuff.. you know the appointments that you can't do until right before the big day. Today Danny and I went and got our marriage licence... which is ALOT easier than I would have ever imagined. Tomorrow I have an appointment to get a body butter drench which I have never had before, but hear is amazing. On Wednesday I get my nails and toes done and TADA... complete... ready to marry the man of my dreams. But the most important appointment of all I went to tonight... and I am here to tell all of you "never in a million years would I do that" girls... the Brazilian is SOOO the best thing you will ever do for yourself! You totally just need to do it. Take an 800 mg and go in and get the wax down. Best $45.00 I have spent in preparation for this wedding. So, there it is girls, my secret is out. JUST DO IT!

7 days...

danny and kadee at the new house playing the new
wii princess game that kadee got for her birthday...
dad looks so into it!

Well, here we are, down to the very last week. I can hardly believe it to be honest. Danny and I were talking last night and it totally doesn't feel real to either of us. You know, we knew last February that we were going to marry each other... so it seems like we have been talking about it FOREVER and here it finally is, about to happen in 7 days!!! We are getting everything finished up and getting ready to move Danny and the girls over this weekend. It seems like life is really already going on here although sometimes Kam or Kadee want to play with something that is still at nana and papa's house. It will be awesome and such a relief to just be married and settled. I can hardly contain myself. I can't believe that this is really here and really happening. Life is so good and I am so glad that I have not been the one calling the shots up there... that someone knew ALOT better than I did, exactly what I needed to make me happy and whole and make my life complete. It was so worth all of the wait and patience. I also know that Grandpa Sherd and Grandpa Merald had their hands in this... The last few days, everytime we sing "I see the moon" I tear up... I know that they are watching down on us and smiling. I miss you both like crazy! Danny and the girls are the best thing that has ever walked into my life. Eternity sounds AWESOME!

Just Kidding... Danny had some pics

So, I just realized that Danny does have some pics on his camera, so I loaded them and here are a few random things we have been doing this summer!

Our little family at the good 'ole parade in Coalville... the girls got about three bags of candy!
Kadee and Sadie with the bunnies at the fair in Coalville

Oops.. can't figure out how to flip it... sorry girls... side view! LOL
Our attempt to all sleep in a two man tent in Papa Carl and Grandma Terry's backyard... When it started to rain and Danny nor I had been asleep yet, we ended up in the house at 3 am. We definitely had fun though! Danny and I at a cook out at Mom and Dad's house


Our family trip to Lagoon... Chris and Stacey and their girls went with us. This is Kambrie and Kadee on the boats. I think this is the one and only ride that Kam did not completely freak out on. She loved it! I think she thought she was a princess in a parade! It was so cute!


Danny and I on the ride Wicked! Stacey and Chris took turns with us keeping the kids and going on adult rides.

Our family at the end of the day at Lagoon... Kambrie fell asleep getting her bum changed... man what a long day for kids. We all had a blast though!
Kadee and Kambrie playing chef at Nana and Papa house. They love the pink kitchen and creating all kinds of things!


So, there it is... finally some pics of our family. I gave you an update of life on the next blog though... this should put a smile on those "hey you never blog anymore!" faces!

Three weeks and counting!!!

Well, we are officially on the serious countdown! Three weeks from tomorrow I am going to marry the man of my dreams... and get the family I have waited so long to have. I am so excited. I have still gotten so much flack from all you for not posting regularly, but I will guarantee a post next Wednesday with many photos and then regular posts after that. We are finally going to be hooked back up to the Internet... yes, my computer with pictures and all. So, get ready everyone, you are going to get sick of me bragging so much about my little family.

To give you all an update, I have moved into the house we will be living in. I love it! It is a little four bedroom two bath house with a fenced yard and even a garage. The girls still want to share a room and across the hall is their playroom. We turned the other spare room into my craft room, which Danny refers to as the crap room. He loves me though. And I might even let him hang one of his Spiderman posters in that room... It is definitely not going in the bedroom or the living room like he insists. Anyhow, we are loving being there and feeling a little more settled. The girls just don't understand why all of their stuff isn't there yet, but I am so glad that they are feeling so comfortable there and wanting to sleep there. Should make for an easy transition... It actually already feels like we are a little family... We do it all there, meals, playing, baths, the girls sleep there with me on the weekends... the only problem is Danny has to go home at night, but good news... only a few weeks more and He NEVER has to leave again. Hallelujah! We are excited! Also, the big news at our house this week is that Kadee officially started Kindergarten yesterday! She turned 5 two weeks ago, so she was able to start school this year. I can not believe it. I went to pick her up from school today and she came walking out with her backpack on talking to her friend and I totally teared up. Man she seemed so big. She is lovin it and says that her new friend at school is Mrs. Redd, her teacher. She is all of the sudden not such a little girl anymore, and frankly it is kinda sad. But, we are so proud of her. She is so smart and we know that she will do very well in school. So, there is a little bit of an update and I will give you some pics next week. Hope life is as good for all of you as it is for us! We are SO blessed!
