Sick/ Palm Springs/ RETREAT!!!

I have been sick since Friday! It's been horrible I just need to be DONE with this crap! Literally! lol Ok, TMI sorry!

Palm Springs! We went out to Palm Spring this weekend. Ken's mom and brother met us out there and took the tram up to the mountain, its pretty scary but still pretty cool! Then we just hung out at the hotel and in the pool... ahh so nice! Would have been nicer if i wasn't so darn sick, but still pretty nice get away! Sorry its a crazy week, hopefully i can post pics soon, if not next week I promise!

Retreat countdown! 3 more days until retreat! So much I need to get done for the retreat, around the house etc before Friday! AAGGHHHH!!! I REALLY need to be DONE w/ being sick so I can get this stuff done and get up to the retreat and have some FUN!!!

Got NOTHING done today while Kaitlyn was at school. I laid on the couch or in bed the whole time! Kassel was great and watched shows most the time (horrible mom I know) :( Then got Kaitlyn from school at stopped over to pick up my order and every one elses orders from socalscrap, then came home, hopefully to recooperate! Next few days are going to be CRAZY!!!

Sorry for the randomness in todays post...

ETA- Kassel is doing GREAT w/o nursing! WooHoo!!!!!

I guess i took up too much space on the last post, so here's the rest of our last day...
Still out on the patio



I know i will get it wrong if i try to spell it so i'll just say at one of the waterfalls!


Playing at the last beach of vacation! Salt Pond Beach, on of our favorite!

In the shuttle going back to the airport :(

Kaitlyn and Kassel being funny at the airport


Since the new camera messed up some of teh dating i dont remember which day these were taken but these are at the Wialua Falls (fantasy Island falls)


Thats all she wrote! Cant wait to go back!

On the plane the kids had a good time... mom on the other hand not so much!


First day heading out to the beach!


My clingy baby with his owie he got the day before from the park.


Here we are at the Salt Pond Beach


Kassel fell asleep on the way to Anini beach and so we slept on the beach for awhile.

Kaitlyn isnt too thrilled w/ the camera lately so this is what most of my pictures of her look like! lol no eye contact!

I was digging a hole and telling kaitlyn i was going to put her in it. She wanted nothing to do with it but Kassel loved the idea, he sat in it and then started filled it up!

Me and the kids enjoying the water

Dad and Kassel


The night of the Luau at Kilohana and the camera was being weird and we couldnt change the settings, so no pics durring the Luau. Real bummer!


Even tho were on vacation Kaitlyn doesnt miss a chance to practice her gymnactics skills!

On the boat up to the Fern Grotto

LOL, Kens Favorite place to eat! Yep you guessed it! Costco!

Think we wore her out today?


Thats my boy getting into trouble and getting into things he shouldnt be!


Just us hangin out at the beach!


Scary old swinging bridge in Hanapepe



I LOVE these pictures of Kaitlyn, Ken says they are a little too sexy but its so funny because she was trying to get her rubber band out of her hair and coulnt. I wouldnt help i was just taking pictures!


My poor boys owie was getting better but still looks like it hurts, besides that i think hes adorable and having so much fun in the sand!


Kassel and I woke up early and went for a walk along the beach, this was right outside out room.


Up at Ke'e Beach the roots are amazing in these trees.



View from our Lanai (patio)

Last few moments in our room, kaitlyn was taking pictures if Kassel and I.

Home!

We're finally home! No we didnt want to come home but yet it is nice to be home! We had a pretty good flight home. We all sat together and were in the aconomy plus or whatever its called w/ the 5 extra inches on leg room, Man could i have used it on the going flight! Kids slept most the flight which was nice but i was freezing and since kassel was asleep in my arms I couldnt get anything warmer on! oh well, the fligt had just a tad of turbulance nothing bad at all. We landed about 5:10 am and got the stuff and found the shuttle to the parkign lot, got screwed the parking rates 80$ crazy! Then stopped over at Nora's to get the dogs, yea it was a FULL car, we were all in the PT! lol We got home, kids stayed asleep, ken and I ate some breakfast then took a much needed nap. Kassel didnt feel like sleeping for to long which SUCKS but oh well. they played outside for awhile and ken set up the tiny baby pool because its so hot out! Hopefully they get tired soon so we can all take another nap! Ken has to do taxes today and then get back to work tomorrow! Its going to be an interesting week or two at work. Hopefully they really missed him while he was gone!
Ok, im rambling and yet about to fall asleep on the computer so im off! BBL to do pictures!

Kauai

Yes we made it to Kauai and have been having a great time! I havent had a chance to post any pictures. I DID have to fly all the way with the two kids bymyself, we couldnt sit together HUGE bummer!! But the kids did suprisingly well! Mom on the other hand not so well! Even with the one drink i got on the plane it was still difficult. Not to mention when we were taking off the pilot told us that the first hour or so so be smooth but after that prepare for some bad turbulance, GREAT! I dont like flying, then having the 2 of them myself and NOW dealing w/ turbulance! NOT fun! and it was pretty bad! Its so hard twlling the kids its going to be ok when im about to crap my pants! lol ya know? Anyways... We leave tomorrow night and get back to CA at 5AM sunday morning. I hope to be able to update soon.
