New Camera

Whit got me a new camera for christmas, but it didn't come until yesterday....(don't worry they're refunding us some shipping money!) But I thought I'd share some pictures with the new camera!!!

I was taking a picture of myself....and this was my awesome face!

Here's Scooter! He would look at me then when the camera flashed he'd look away....

He finally looked at me the entire time....but he looks mad.....We then went to Matt and Cindy's to check out their new t.v. and Hallie wanted to be in a picture but was showing off her binkie!Then uncle Whit grabbed her and got her to smile!I was still playing with the camera and she came and stood by me, so I asked her if she wanted to take a picture with me and she smiled....but then didn't look at the camera when I took the picture! haha what a funny one!

And I couldn't forget the new addition to the family....here's baby Dave!!! He wouldn't turn his head though.....

But then we place his head in the right spot so I could take a picture of his cute chubby cheeks! What a cute little man!

Well this is just the start of my pictures with the new camera! I haven't even had it 24 hours yet..and I already have taken a ton of pictures! I had an old school camera from like 3 or 4 years ago that was a big block....and this one is so slim...I just hope I don't drop it! Well let me know if you like how clear it takes pictures and stuff!!! Thanks Whit for the great camera!!

CHRISTMAS TIME!

This is our cute tree!!!

This Christmas was by far the best one that we have ever had, mainly because we're married and have someone to spoil! It was so fun to be with both of our families and share the true meaning of Christmas, and remember the birth of our savior! On Christmas Eve we had a candle light dinner with Kristi's family, then went to Whit's grandma's house to play games! Then we went back to Kristi's parents to stay the night!

We woke up at 5:50 AM....yes that early, to open presents with the family! We were so excited because we got CAMPING GEAR! Luckily my parents got a big enough tent for Mr. Whit to stretch out in, and they got us a double sleeping bag so Whit can keep me warm! (Whit thought that it was just for him though.....) I had Whit open my present to him at my parents house, because I was opening my present from him at his parents! Whit got a BBQ Grill! I got him that because everytime we make hamburgers inside it gets kind of smokey.....and also cause he wanted one!! We also got some scentsy candles from Tiff, and a cute decorative M (for Miller) from Britt and Josh! And I can't forget what Justin got us....an AWESOME cassette tape that we can listen to in the car! What a cutie huh?

So after Kristi's parents house we went to Whit's parents house! So Whit being the clever one that he is, made everyone go in the front room by the tree, and I had to come in last to see my present and lo and behold this is what he got me.........

YES THAT IS A PIANO!!! OH MAN I WAS SOOOO SURPRISED! And yes I did cry...haha I was soo happy! I have my VERY own now! So exciting! I played it all day on Christmas, then we moved it to our apartment later that night so now I can play it anytime I want!!!!! Whit got a funny thing from Derek and Julie....it's a big HULK poster so when you plug it in there is fog in the backround! We also got some games, taboo from Heidi, and a Scriptures game from Whit's parents! We also got a new laundry basket...cause ours was really small for 2 people! And we can't forget the candy! That is all that Amelia and Hallie talked about....we would ask them what they got from Santa and they said, "CANDY!" Oh kids are so cute!!!

Christmas was so fun this year, I loved seeing the traditions that both sides of our families have, and remembering the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and everything that he has done for us! And most of all I loved being with my amazing husband! I couldn't ask for a better man to be with! I'm so grateful for everything that he has done and continues to do for me everyday! I love you Whit!

So since me and Whit got presents for each other, we decided that we needed a present as a family! Guess we were a really good family this year, cause this is what Santa brought us............

Now we can't complain about not being able to "see" the t.v. anymore! haha THANKS SANTA!

Gingerbread Houses!

On Saturday we made gingerbread houses as a family! We all had so much fun putting them together! Amelia and Hallie had fun too, cause they wanted to eat all of the candy instead of use it to decorate with, what funny little girls!

Matt, Cindy, and Little Dave with their Gingerbread house.Adam and Heidi with their Gingerbread house.

Our cute Gingerbread house! Can you see the W and K on the front windows? SO orginal!
Derek and Julie with their Gingerbread house! Don't know why Derek isn't looking though!
This was such a fun little project! We can't wait to do it next year!

Jazz Game

My work gave us 4 tickets to the Jazz vs. Chicago Bulls row 12 baby!!! It was such a great game, one of those off your seats one! UNFORTUNATELY the Jazz did lose at seriously the last second of the game.....But we had so much fun!

Here is Whit and IAnd the rest of Whit's dates: Heidi, Nicole, and of course the wife me!
We had so much fun, thanks to JT Steel for giving us the tickets!! GO JAZZ GO!

HONEYMOON IN HAWAII

For our Honeymoon we decided we wanted to go to Hawaii, because one, Kristi's never been there, and two, after you're married when do you ever get to go fun places like this right?

This is us taking a tour at Pearl Harbor, the bay is behind us!Standing over the USS Arizona....uhh we're excited!

The Arizona underwater, yes that is oil surrounding it still!

The Memorial that showed which boat was which!

We found our anchor......it's huge huh?

Those are HUMONGOUS goldfish! They were attacking the cement below us, because everyone kept feeding them. It was crazy to see them flap around and fight over their food!

Look it's a PINK pineapple!!!

Can you see us in the stack of pineapples??? Peek a boo I see you!

Whit and his Pineapple float! I just got pineapple icecream covered in pineapples on top! DELICIOUS!!!!

Just leaving the mother ship on our way to go parasailing!

AAHHH WE'RE PARASAILING!!!!

HOLD ON!!! Look how high we are!

We got the longest ride probably because we were the only ENGLISH speaking people on board!

We wanted to make sure we got our parachute in the picture!!!

Yes, that little thing down in the water is our boat!

We only wanted to go parasailing but because we had to wait so long for everyone else they threw in snorkeling for free!!! Oh yeah!

Look how close they are! The captain on board kept throwing bread into the water and the fish were going CRAZY! On our way back to shore we saw a HUGE sea turtle, but this was our last pic on the film so we couldn't take a picture!

We decided to just drive up the coastline on the west side of Oahu and we found these awesome cliffs that had huge waves crashing up against them!

We waited for a while to take this so there could be a huge wave.......

But of course I got the bigger wave in my picture.......

Okay lets try this one more time....still nothing........

Then the mother of all waves hit, and toppled right over me and up to where Whit was taking the picture.....I thought I was a gonner for sure.....and yes I was drenched!

We continued driving and found this beach that had probably 7-9 feet tall waves right along the shore so Whit decided to go play in them! He got thrown by one of them but luckily he popped back up!!!

Okay now you can't go to Hawaii without going to see the temple right??? We did a morning session, and it was so awesome! This temple is GORGEOUS!

Here is a picture of the temple all by itself!

Heidi told us of a really good place to eat that is by the Temple and Polynesian Cultural Center called Papa Ole's! So we stopped by, but Papa Ole decided to close it the ONLY day that we were up there! So this picture is for Heidi!! We ended up eating next door at Domino's, which was still good!

At last we made it to the Polynesian Cultural Center!!! First stop of course...FIJI!!! Bula Vinaka!!! They asked people to come up on stage that were on the honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary! We got to learn a Fijian dance...SO AWESOME!

Next stop NEW ZEALAND! Since I am a quarter Maori we couldn't leave this tribe out of course! It was fun to see the Stick game that Aunt Marlena taught us Spring Semester for Whit's dance class, and also to learn how to spin the poi balls! TRUST ME ITS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!

We had a blast on our honeymoon and wish we were still there! A week in Hawaii was a dream come true, just like when I married the man of my dreams! We can't wait until we've got money to go back again! We miss the awesome weather.....none of this cold/no snow stuff!!!!
