Gingerbread Houses

We had our friends, Brad and Amber Holt over to make some Gingerbread houses. Like I said before, ours doesn't even compare to Wes and Amanda's but we had fun anyways!




It takes alot of concentration :)

And that's pretty much how it went... Brad ate the candy.. Amber made the house :)


If you look closely you can see Brad's contribution... the dirty snowman... or snowwoman I should say.


And the finished result! Mine and Ed's on the left, Brad and Amber's to the right

In my defense... ours WAS nice until Ed decided to use his "artistic" abilities and slop icing everywhere.

A day at the Spa...

I treated Ed the other day to a relaxing foot and leg spa treatment! He soon fell fast asleep which is when I took advantage and stole some pictures.


He looks kind of scary really... but at least his pores are clean

Our Honeymoon

Aloha! As most of you know, we spent our honeymoon in Hawaii. It was beautiful! Im sorry Im not better with the camera. Even when you see the scenery in the pictures it just cant compare to being there in person but I tried!



Sleeping on the plane

Venturing out our first day there to find the beach


This would be Waikiki beach. Our hotel is nestled in there somewhere.


Our day at the beach, dont we look like we're having so much fun??

This old crazy guy next to us starting doing some sort of Yoga routine on his surf board before heading out to catch some waves.


Don't know if you can see the big hand somebody made in the sand




My model husband thinking he can wear a flower in his hair and look cute.


The view from our hotel room, the beach was off to the right
Ed relaxing on the sweet bedspread!

A submarine in Pearl Harbor


An anchor to one of the ships


Sorry, I forgot to turn this one. It was a clock that belonged to the Captain of the USS Arizona that sunk in the Harbor. The time is frozen to the hour the ship sank.

This memorial is in the middle of the Harbor directly over the sunken USS Arizona which claimed most of the casualties in the attack. The bodies are still inside the ship.


A map of Pearl Harbor
These plaques have the names of all who died that day. I couldnt even fit all of them into one picture. It was very humbling being there and reading about all that history.

Getting ready to go shopping


This was the start of our drive up the coast to the Temple on our last day



There was some really nice scenery behind his head :)

It would have been a nice picture if the traffic light hadnt popped up out of no where.








The Hawaiian Temple





A view from the top




This is in the back of the Temple where they have a small cemetery, and where you can go and pick coconuts from the trees.

Okay, has anyone seen the show, "Dog the Bounty Hunter"on TV lately?? Well if you dont, you're missing out. Anyways, Ed thought I was crazy but I made him take me to the place where most of the show is filmed. It was only a few blocks from where we were staying. If we had went during the day I probably could have met the Dog! I was so disappointed.

I always bug Ed because everywhere we go he always knows SOMEONE. It doesnt matter where we are. I thought we were safe in Hawaii... turns out I was wrong. This is a friend that Ed grew up with here in Calgary, he is going to school at BYU and working at the Polynesian Centre near the Temple (which is why hes dressed like that)
