its like..ocean

This whole month has been go go go. it started of with the end of the semester, meaning finals. Then an hour after my last and hardest final we were on the plane to Hawaii for a week! It was so much fun ( except the six hour delay in San Diego) !!! we went to the beach everyday, ate weird fruits, shopped, tanned, went to water falls, snorkled and saw turtles, a mana ray, and a octopus, and the reason why we went-kasey and suli's wedding. it was the best way to end a semester. the wedding was beautiful, kasey was so pretty, suli was a stud in his brown suit, the weather was perfect and the food was great! i got to follow them around and keep kasey touched up and help them with their pictures. our very last day kirk got to FINALLY do what he was longing to... go surfing. he did pretty good with out knowing what to do! he caught a few waves and loved it. the best part was when he rented the his board and was walking back to the group he had the biggest grin on his face it was so cute! after a long flight through the night with 2 hours of sleep we got home did a load of laundry and headed to Snowflake. it was a shock from going to 80 degree weather to snow! we were not in the Christmas spirit our entire trip because it was too weird to listen to christmas music with our swim suits on! but we snapped back quickly and had a wonderful Christmas! now kirk is back to work and i have tell the 19th tell classes start.

The Monster Mash

This weekend kirk and I had so much fun! we started off carving our pumpkins with Kendra, Randy and Ruthie. Every year i forget how long it takes, I grew impatient so kirk had to help finish mine but they turned out pretty good i must say. oh and we made the best pumpkin seeds ever!!

Ruthie would not stick her hand in so we tried using force but she still would not budge!

my tree and kirks mummy

this is every ones, Kendra's is the witch and Randy and Ruthie's is the skull.

Next we got to watch Ruthie. It was Kendra's Birthday and they were going out on the town so we got to have a sleep over! she is the funniest little girl we love her so much! but she only loves kirk, She would only come to me when kirk was teasing her and late that night when she woke up. We had so much fun with her !

we played on the slide

this is my favorite face she makes (old man faced)! she sucks on her top lip ALL the time

Finally we went over to Kirks bother Jacobs house on Halloween for a party. we had to throw together last minute costums... kirk became and inmate and i went gangsta (and looked like a boy!)
