On Maternity Leave!!!

I was suppose to work for another month, but the child I was watching was able to have his grandma come watch him sooner....which has been an early blessing for me and more time to spend with my boys. Aaron is in California for two weeks and we will play and relax until he gets back. Looking for some bonding time with my boys....before we add a little princess into the mix :)

(You can see her nose pressed up against my belly....34 weeks)


Here are some recent pics...

We took the boys to watch some of the UH players who have played NFL do a camp for local kids. Aarons brother, Nate is to the Right of Izzy

Sometimes the boys like to help Daddy play Xbox

 I have been slow at potty training Israel...but it could be beneficial because Boomer wants to try

 One night we decided to head to the beach early and let the boys play before everyone else got there

 The loooovvveeee the sand!

The boys  scarfing down food at one of my work play days.....

 And mommy and daddy at a UH basketball game...with boys at grandmas.

Counting down to Daisy Birth...



5 Weeks Left!!!!

Maybe this angle shows the tummy angle better....LOL



So my computer does not want to turn my pics the right way....and Izzy likes to jump in my picture to say he's the big Bro again!



Went whale watching but I think my Shark may have scared them away...

Boomer and Israel ready to look for Whales...we had a picnic in the back of daddys truck

And we didn't see whales...but some awesome waves...

And a beautiful sunset

And my handsome boys...Izzy who loves to cheese and Boomer actually looking at the camera...

And two boys who really do love eachother :)

I think I can get used to pink...

We can't wait for Daisy Myra coming in April. I really should post more often then when I have babies.....We are feeling very blessed. Our boys are amazing and Israel will tell everyone, "Brother is my best friend". Israel has been telling daddy from the beginning that he's having a sister.

FB or Blogging....

Beautiful Logan Utah Temple grounds..had to still a kiss

My favorite boys. Aaron with Israel and Boomer

Me with my youngest, Boomer

To the tune....."Backstreet Boys are Back!" Da Ilaoa's are back...oh yeah! Lol

Ok...so I don't have self control to do Facebook and Blogging...but I have some friends who seem to be bloggers and don't ever go to FB....and the opposite....so that I can keep up with my friends...I need to keep up with my blog. I can't promise to update it all the time....but since my last post...My second son, Boomer is older than Israel in the last pictures. My husband was deployed, who is gratefully home now....and we are living in Hawaii instead of hanging out with those cool girls in the pictures in my last post. I will probably update a little more later with little thoughts here in there....

But in a nut shell....I'm still in love with my hubby Aaron...about to celebrate 10 yrs of dating. We are now blessed with two wonderful boys....who are 2yrs old and 7months. I watch a 15mos old through being licsensed through the base...and I am a counselor in YW....and every once in awhile I still get to take a shower :) and I try to be out and about as much as possible in this beautiful island. I have already forgotten how to add certain things to my blog.....so I will just add some most recent pictures from my sister Grace's wedding in Utah last month....

Some Highlights

Here's some highlights of the last two weeks....

For almost 2 weeks, Israel has been sleeping through the night 10-6. If he's not doing that, he's going to sleep closer to 8:30 and waking up for a feeding around 4:00. He's been doing great at the nursery at our gym so momma can get in some good work outs.

Israel is really starting to smile and flirt for some ladies....We got to go eat breakfast with my friend Krystale and Ashley(?)

Israel is liking his new Buddy Bodee. They get to hang out while their moms hang out this time at Sally's house.

While the boys are hanging out or taking turns sleeping, the girls get to do girl things like cupcakes and talk.

Aaron hardly calls at night...on the 4th he called just as the fireworks were starting. It was fun having him as much there with us as possible. Sally and Kristen's gets were great for the fireworks. It was a fun day celebrating what our husband's do for us.

Kristen and I took our kids down to visit the girls at YW camp. They were so good...

Even when it was way pass bed time :)

Addie let Izzy try her pool out...he's looked happier, but seemed to enjoy it.

So we moved on to the big pool and got to hang out with the Petersons and Vierigs again.

I love being able to stay home and have little play days for Israel. We still miss daddy and he's been able to hear Israel talking a little bit to him when he does get to call.
