I haven't been on here for a while as you know. But many things have changed since We last talked. I gave birth to a beautifully handsome boy named Bradley Arthur. He is the second love of my life. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful angel in our lives. He is now 6 months and he loves to eat and nurse of course. His favorites are Squash, Carrots, apples, and bananas. He is coming close to mastering the roll over. He loves the outdoors and can lay with his toys for a while on his own. (which is nice when I'm cleaning up) No teeth and he can't quite sit up in his own just yet. But no rush I love how small he is. His last appointment he was 25 inches and 14.5 pounds. He is so sweet!! I love you Bradley!

We also have made a big move, to California. We are living in a new city, house, new friends, new job. Everything has changed. It has been challenging. We were living in hotels all around the California coast. We lived in 5 hotels with-in the short time span of 24 days. We were so excited to move into a new house. There are things I wish I could change, but all in all we have been very blessed. Dustin and I have not been as diligent with prayers and scriptures as before. And yet the Lord has set a side so many blessing for the 3 of us. I love the Lord and the opportunities that he has given us. We have been to Alaska, Hawaii, California, and yet we are still not finished with our adventures.

I have been struggling lately with being a mom. I know I'm a good mother. I just don't know what to crap I'm doing half the time. the questions of doubt are killing me. Why isn't Bradley sleeping through the night? Is he eating enough? Is this right? Am I doing that right? I never received my how to book! Where is it?
I'm just so luck to have a great mother that taught me well. She is so beautiful and so cherished. I'm sure I speak for countless people when I say. Mom I love you and I miss you and You are the blessing in my life the Lord knew I needed.

I hope that I Will be on here more often, until then Talk to you soon.

I have been lazy and haven't been on here for like a year. I hope that all of you are enjoying this time of the year. Dustin and I use Facebook much more often then Blog spot. I will try to be on here more often.

Okay I know Jackie,

I'm not good at this blog thing. I told you in the beginning, but here I am. I hope that everyone has had a safe and exciting Christmas and Happy New Years.
Here in Hawaii it is tradition to party more for the New Years than on The Fourth of July. Crazy right? A lot of people go to Costco and buy the $300.00 set of fireworks. I think that is just a little over board. The streets are filled with old used firework scraps and burnt plastic. It is pretty cool though to be driving on the H-3 ( Jackie you know what that is) and not being able to tell the difference between a firework or Lightning, because of all of the smoke.
I had a great New Years. I'm glad to have such great Family and Friends near and far. I love the Lord and all of the great blessings he has given me. I hope that my New Years resolution stays true. That I can hold my tongue when it is too easy to hurt a loved one, and to be more patient. I love my dear husband and the happiness he gives me. I'm so excited to have my parents come to Hawaii. I love you Mom and Dad. I hope that I can one day be such good, loving, and forgiving parents.
Thanks to everyone that reads this. I love you. (Jackie)

Hello everyone,
Yesterday Dustin and I went in a hike with some friends. The hike went through the Ko'olau Mountains. It was a beautiful day. The weather was great and so was Milo. He did a great job at staying by us and did the whole hike by himself. At the end there is a waterfall that you can jump off. This was a great time. I loved the scenery.


This is the best reward after a long hike.
