Maui

So We are still in maui at beau's dad house, and tomorrow is our last day.. Real life is sneaking up on us. We have had a really great time so far, i mean who wouldn't but this time we have just been HITTING THE BEACH!! Every day all day and i can't be happier about my tan and all the amazing days we have had here. Last year was amazing but this year has been way sunnier!! Griggs loves the beach, hates the water but he has had a great time hanging with Grandpa McNEeley and Uncle Gray. Beaus brother has been here also so it is nice to spend some time with him also. We have gone snorkeling lots this year and i am getting way more comfortable out there, i love it so much but i still get freaked out sometimes thinking about jaws sneaking up on me.. I also took Griggsy to the Aquarium, just me and him :) HE was in love with all the fish!! Its all he talked about, so im glad i could take him. I also got to hit up the Paia fish market, i saw this place on food network on the show best thing i ever ate. Well i was not dissapointed, i bugged everyone to go the whole trip :) Well just wanted to share a little of our trip so far, more pics to come. Aloha-- Now im going to go enjoy this day

Easter :)

Snow, Rain, cold..Thats pretty much how the weather was blahhh. BUt we made the best out of it anyways. Thursday we dyed all of our eggs, Griggs is such a boy and you know boys, they are rough on everything!! So we gave him like 5-6 eggs and let him have at it all of those eggs were cracked by the time he was finished but oh well he had fun!!








Easter sunday the easter bunny gave griggsy his basket and he was so excited.. He had lots of good stuff like a new swim suit for Hawaii a cute easter outfit, a zsu zsu pet, a coloring book ect. Aunty steph also spoiled him with the new chipmunks movie and other goodies! My dad stopped by to watch griggsy find his eggs...oh man that was his favorite part!! he had a blast looking around finding all the eggs. He asked asked me about 20 times to find eggs now :) All in all it was really nice day just to be with the ones you love:)

100 layer cake

I love looking at design and decorating blogs. My dream job would probably planning weddings and parties!! I love doing that kind of stuff. I planned every detail, along with my momma for my wedding, along with my sisters. We make a good team :) Even though my wedding is over i still love to look at the creative ideas people come up with. www.100layercake.com is one of my favorite sites, I really love the vintage inspired themes and the beautiful flowers and food arrangements. plus they have tons of DIY projects... check it out-

Big boy unders

Sooooo we are in the process of potty training.. It's really so much fun :) But i took this pic the other day and i thought oh man he is gonna hate this one when he gets older.. BUT I LOVE IT!!!

28 old years

Well my husband is officially in his LATE twenties :) Happy Birthday babe-a!!! You are my best friend and partner in life! Im so glad and thankful to see our son have such an amazing father and imagine how much fun you are going to have as the years go by. I can't wait to see what happens next for us also.... Our life is just beginning and our ANDVENTURE BOOK has many pages yet to fill ... You are my Carl :)
xoxox love you

Gotta love a bargain

I love downeast outfitters...you know the time when you go there and they have some good stuff!!! Its kinda hit or miss, but beau and i went there browsing and came across some mirrors. Well Griggsy broke the one in our bathroom a while ago so when we found this cute one i was stoked to see it was only 30 bucks!! And it looks way cute in the bathroom :)

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?"

Last night beau and i went to see Alice in Wonderland 3d..LOved it. I have always loved that show as a kid, so i was super excited to see it. I was not dissapointed, everyone kept saying how it looked so creepy but it really wans't at all! Johnny Depp is prob one of my favorite actors and he played the Mad hatter..well like no but him could!! haha but all through the movie he kept asking "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" I kept thinking about that all night cause the riddle was never answered so i did some googling and found the answer....





"They both produce a few notes, all very flat, and are almost never turned the wrong way front."

It's about time

FINALLY!!! One year after getting hitched, i changed my name!! I'm pretty ridiculous, i know this... and the sad part is the only reason i changed it now was because i lost my drivers license..so i had no choice.Well It ended up being pretty painless, i had to spend the majority of the time at the federal building but was in and out of the dmv and the bank! Woo hoo i feel accomplished today that has been on my To Do list for quite some time. Now all i gotta do is get use to Writing McNeeley..I've already written Griggs ALL DAY!! And btw why must every single id picture i take look absolutely RIDICULOUS!! I tried so hard to just have a plain expression.. well she ask me a question the BAM took my pic. So much for a cute picture :)

Sleeping wars..

So last night around 1:30 am griggsy decides to wake up. He cried for a minute so i went in his room to grab him. Well I let him come sleep in our room, which is totally fine..... I just don't want to HAVE to grab his 2 pillow pets, his 4 different blankies, his matchbox car, and his teddy bear too!! Every time i would miss something id have to go grab it...Its 2 am griggs go to sleep!!! haha that kid i swear

Maui Here we come!!!

We are headed to paradise to visit beaus dad the end of April!!! We are so stoked to get up there again see him and go explore Maui again. I can't wait to see how Griggs will react to the beach now that he is a little older. Last year he just ate the sand and that wasn't annoying at all!! I think he will just have a blast playing in the sand now and in the water!! I am already jonesing for some Sansei sushi and some warm sunny beaches! Yay can't wait :) --My only concern dun dun dun.. is the airplane ride with a 2 year old! We will see i guess

Happy Birthday G!!!

I can't believe 2 years ago my BABY was just arriving. He has brought so much happiness into our families!!! I love being his mom and watching him thrive. He is soo smart and witty, he is always making us laugh. I can't imagine how our life would be without this little guy! He is growing so fast, i just have to enjoy every second of this age cause i know he will be 18 in the blink of an eye.
My two favorite people share the birthday March 2nd, my sister and my son! They have such an awesome bond and im so thankful for that! I remember how excited my sis was when i told her my due date, and then to actually have him that day was even cooler. He is always askin for his STEPPY and cries everytime she leaves! I Love you guys Happy Birthday :)

One Year!

Friday February 26th was beau and I's ONE year anniversary! I woke up friday morning to find A rose, the sweetest card, and a gift certificate for a couples massage!! So sweet it really made my week!


This year really has flown by, I am looking forward to many more years with my beau. Love you babe!!

Griggs' 2nd Birthday party

Saturday we threw griggsy's SECOND birthday.. can't believe my babies 2!! He picked out his own theme- CARS and TRUCKS of course. It turned out to be so much fun. Beaus mom, stepdad, and Grandparents drove down from st. george. So it was nice to see them. We had lots of family and friends come by also. We had a pinata which was hilarious and the kids had a blast dancing to griggsys new chipmunk cd and doing some crafts we set up. It was so worth all the man hours i spent planning and getting it all put together! I made the cake which turned out pretty cute if i do say so myself! I just got one of those 6" subway sandwiches btw i under estimated how huge it really was and had to have my dad take it to my house in his pick up!!! He got spoiled by everyone and he was totally worn out today!! Happy birthday baby I love you.
