Zak got to ride in this raft the whole time we were up at the reservoir. He got to 'fish' with help from his cousin Thomas. He absolutely loved it and loved this camping trip.<br />

Grandma sure knows how to get these boys nice and relaxed. Lotion, cuddles and movie. <br />

We had the most fun June going camping in Ladd Canyon at Beaver Creek with Nate's sister Shauna and her family. They are fabulous campers and showed us the ropes on how to camp in style even with no bathrooms or firewood to buy. =) Zak has been way into wanting to learn to fish and this was the perfect opportunity for him to do so. His cousin fished with him at the lake forever and would catch fish and let him reel them in and then also release them back into the lake. Once we hiked back to the campground from the lake, Thomas took Zak to the creek where they continued to fish. He loved every minute of this camping trip. It was a beautiful spot and I really enjoyed myself too. Cole enjoyed throwing rocks and just being able to be outside 24/7. A week or so later Nate's parents had a condo for 10 days up in Seaside and invited us to spend some time with them there. We stayed for about 3 nights and overlapped a night with Nate's sister Shelbey and her kids. Zak absolutely loved this trip as well. He's missed playing at the ocean and got to do that, PLUS play in the pools and hot tubs so he and Cole both really had a good time. It was nice to overlap a night/day with Shelbey too so the kids could have some fun cousin time. Nate and I got to go out at night on our own to explore the town once the kids were in bed and his parents would stay with them. So we all had a nice vacation there.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760203475301988059.post-84978615692443903142012-07-17T20:24:00.001-07:002012-07-17T20:24:45.909-07:00May<u><b>MAY</b></u><br />
In May, Zak finished his first year of preschool. Here, they can go 2 days a week when they are 3 so next year he'll get to go 3 days a week.. Zak loved it and made some good friends in his class. The last month they went to the fire station on a field trip and enjoyed some water parties and BBQ's. Nate finished his first year of medical school in May as well! One year down, three to go. He did great! I was amazed at how well he was able to manage school along with husband and fatherly duties. We sure appreciate all his hard work and dedication!<br />

So I its been a month or so (like two months) and a half since I started trying to lose weight. I have had good days and bad days. I bought a deep fryer for hot wing, sorry for all the die hards out there- gotta maintain a high quality of life, and life without hot wings is not a life for me! Despite my weakness, I still lost weight- 10 lbs from my last blog, and 16 lbs total! Yeah, yeah!. I also started P90x. My best day was like this: I got up at 5:30 am and played basketball, then I came home and did P90x, I ate really well this day (less than 2000 calories), and then I ran 3 miles that evening. I think that if I would have had more days like this I could have lost more weight. My worst day was to the effect of- I did nothing, ate a lot of bad food and ended the night with cookies!. The good news is my drive to lose weight is still strong. I also lost a few inches from my belly and thighs- and my chest, which I was hoping would bet bigger from P90x- can't win all the battle at once I guess. Here is some pictures for you all so you can all see the 2 inches I lost from my stomach.

Graduate school and medical school has taken as much toll as I will allow. Within the recent years many things have happened to inspire to to get my body into a more functional state. These reason's are as follows:<br />
1. I have become the fattest Hogg brother in the Norman L. Hogg family- unacceptable!<br />
2. My father was diagnosed with Diabetes- in med school I learned that this type of diabetes can be cured and prevented in most cases via a more healthy LIFESTYLE!<br />
3. My mom had heart surgery and was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. This disease is mostly genetic, but a healthy LIFESTYLE can delay the onset and decreases the amount of stress on the heart prolonging additional heart complications that can be associated with CAD!<br />
4. My stomach sticks out further than my.................................chest. <br />
5. I want to be able to play sports with my kids. I tried to keep up with Zak on a recent 3K he forced me to do and realized that I couldn't. Unacceptable! <br />
6. As a physcian I will have to encourage healthy lifestyles- practice what you preach Dr. Nate Dogg!<br />

We had a fun little visitor come and stay with us for about 4 days. Yes, Kable came to play with Zak and Cole while his Mike and Amy were in Vegas. It was fun so fun being able to have him stay with us for awhile! I have a picture of us in Idaho, so apparently we went to Idaho, but I don't know what for. Oh, I think to meet Jeff's girlfriend and just hang out. We stopped in La Grande and Nate's sister Shauna's house on our drive home and got a little bit of snow! Not too eventful. <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aAG45TSUkMs/T4PLz1EYlqI/AAAAAAAAEbg/GL3L7M-3UHI/s1600/DSCN4676.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aAG45TSUkMs/T4PLz1EYlqI/AAAAAAAAEbg/GL3L7M-3UHI/s400/DSCN4676.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729647242224637602" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DIanFzVt06A/T4PLsjXi-MI/AAAAAAAAEbE/JvlNmP_9_Og/s1600/IMG_0984.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DIanFzVt06A/T4PLsjXi-MI/AAAAAAAAEbE/JvlNmP_9_Og/s400/IMG_0984.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729647117214087362" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Opdhg_3OnIY/T4PLsfhsxvI/AAAAAAAAEa4/os_kdZjUsDg/s1600/IMG_0975.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Opdhg_3OnIY/T4PLsfhsxvI/AAAAAAAAEa4/os_kdZjUsDg/s400/IMG_0975.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729647116182931186" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8ELQU-RtAXc/T4PLryNZgQI/AAAAAAAAEaw/2Ga9DJcvvqA/s1600/IMG_0973.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8ELQU-RtAXc/T4PLryNZgQI/AAAAAAAAEaw/2Ga9DJcvvqA/s400/IMG_0973.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729647104018186498" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4qHNbfTX_3c/T4PLrgzfUCI/AAAAAAAAEak/Io9h-8LwQyg/s1600/IMG_0969.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4qHNbfTX_3c/T4PLrgzfUCI/AAAAAAAAEak/Io9h-8LwQyg/s400/IMG_0969.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729647099346112546" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J1AbVa4imV0/T4PLs0mNdsI/AAAAAAAAEbQ/ozvoP0FNF-Y/s1600/IMG_0009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J1AbVa4imV0/T4PLs0mNdsI/AAAAAAAAEbQ/ozvoP0FNF-Y/s400/IMG_0009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729647121838995138" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />March</span>: March was full of fun! Zak's preschool went on a field trip to a museum and the Soda Shoppe, we went to Heppner for St. Patrick's Day, and went on a family trip to Seattle for Nate's spring break. Heppner goes all crazy for St. Patty's Day. Nate and I, Mike and Amy and my dad all went to a smoker and watched some rad boxing the Friday night before. Saturday morning we got up and walked around "town", participated in a Welly Toss (our team won 2nd place! ha!), watched a parade and hung out at the park. Nate's sister Shelbey and her kids came and met us for the parade and to play at the park afterwards. It was fun to see them and get our kids together! Seattle was next. We got home from Heppner on Saturday and took off to Seattle on Sunday. On Sunday we just had dinner with my cousin Scott and his wife Adrienne and their daughter and then chilled. We got up on Monday and went to the space needle, children's museum, Pike's Market Place, Waterfront, Aquarium, then dinner. The boys were EXHAUSTED by the end of the day. We walked so much and it was so cold out but we had a lot of fun. The next morning the boys slept in late so we leisurely headed out to the North Bend outlet malls and then just headed home so Nate could study the rest of his spring break for his tests the upcoming week.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zZdlTNNiNjQ/T4PJmGylmUI/AAAAAAAAEaM/5CH09EuiZR0/s1600/DSCN4829.JPG"><img style="display:block;

font-style: italic;">April: </span><span style="font-style: italic;">This month isn't even half over...but I thought I might as well catch up to this point. It started out with a bang! On April 4th Zak had his tonsils and adenoids out. He wasn't having a ton of obvious trouble with them but they were just abnormally large and his dentist, pediatrician, ENT pretty much all thought they should come out. So after MUCH stressing, and almost cancelling his appointment many times...April 4th came and we were to be at the hospital by 6 a.m. for his 7:45 a.m. appointment. He was super brave going into it but having them wheel him away back into surgery was definitely not fun for me. I thought that would be the worst part because afterward I could just cuddle him and he'd have medicine, etc. but that was not the case. Watching him come out of the anesthesia crying..with itchy eyes/nose looking uncomfortable was so not fun! BUT he did well and has been working on getting all the way better ever since. He pretty much refused to take his pain medication 90% of the time but today was the first day that he took no pain medication and ate almost completely normally AND acted/played normally...so hopefully things just keep getting better and better. We also had some fun visitors...Nate's brother Jeff and his girlfriend Kelly came and visited us for Easter weekend. We colored eggs, frosted sugar cookies, went for walks, went out to eat, Jeff hung out with Zak and ton and built blanket forts and it was great having them!</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vQOUhqoXCGw/T4O-iqd0yqI/AAAAAAAAEV8/3GkLQnX7EX0/s1600/DSCN4851.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vQOUhqoXCGw/T4O-iqd0yqI/AAAAAAAAEV8/3GkLQnX7EX0/s400/DSCN4851.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729632653669616290" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2cEezE_12E/T4O-iMrUjTI/AAAAAAAAEVw/eAGDA7-cc4Y/s1600/DSCN4849.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2cEezE_12E/T4O-iMrUjTI/AAAAAAAAEVw/eAGDA7-cc4Y/s400/DSCN4849.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729632645673159986" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V3PT9Nh8T9w/T4O-hkRIUEI/AAAAAAAAEVk/3dnHpDqw0Uk/s1600/DSCN4848.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V3PT9Nh8T9w/T4O-hkRIUEI/AAAAAAAAEVk/3dnHpDqw0Uk/s400/DSCN4848.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729632634825887810" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7HB7N-jycLk/T4O-hGDhrmI/AAAAAAAAEVY/0GAKZ3O__TY/s1600/DSCN4846.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7HB7N-jycLk/T4O-hGDhrmI/AAAAAAAAEVY/0GAKZ3O__TY/s400/DSCN4846.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729632626715766370" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WOYZG6By9fg/T4O8bP_8spI/AAAAAAAAEVM/Aa-d7qrEqds/s1600/DSCN4833.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WOYZG6By9fg/T4O8bP_8spI/AAAAAAAAEVM/Aa-d7qrEqds/s400/DSCN4833.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729630327282643602" border="0" /></a><br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760203475301988059.post-13188511028435498322012-01-07T20:39:00.000-08:002012-01-08T22:13:42.939-08:00Last 3 or so months in an attempted nutshell!Oh great....my last post was in SEPTEMBER!!! Wow. I'm awesome. Guess I'll try to give a quick overview of what we've been up to since then!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br />October highlights:</span> In October my little sister Jillyn and her 2 kids came to visit us. Nate was busy with school and her husband had a busy week combining so we thought we might as well get together for some fun! We did a craft, took our kids to the park multiple times and stayed up late chatting! Zak went on his first field trip with preschool to the pumpkin patch where they got to do a hay stack maze, a slide on hay stacks, a hay ride and pick a pumpkin to take home. Nate's school also hosted a harvest festival where the kids did a pinata, went on a hayride, did 3-legged races, etc. We did trunk or treat at church and then took the kids trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T2aGha3lEU8/TwkhKaIns6I/AAAAAAAAEMA/2PVClRV3ocU/s1600/DSCN1490.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T2aGha3lEU8/TwkhKaIns6I/AAAAAAAAEMA/2PVClRV3ocU/s400/DSCN1490.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695119666484589474" border="0" /></a><br /> Zak's 1st field trip to the pumpkin patch!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zvSoxvxF_fU/TwkhI0l0yMI/AAAAAAAAEL0/dDHORlByVmw/s1600/DSCN1546.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zvSoxvxF_fU/TwkhI0l0yMI/AAAAAAAAEL0/dDHORlByVmw/s400/DSCN1546.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695119639226665154" border="0" /></a> One of 3 costumes Cole debuted on Halloween.

CRAZINESS! Nate totally surprised me with a Kitchenaid mixer! I never saw it coming! I was super excited! What a sneaky and awesome husband I have! We took a long overdue trip to Utah for Thanksgiving and got to see both my grandmas and a bunch of my cousins. We hadn't been to Utah since before we moved to Hawaii (over 2 years!) so it was great to see everyone. We also got to see the Garners who were some of the first friends we made in Hawaii. They live in Utah now and drove to Ogden to hang out for an afternoon. So fun! The boys did great traveling but both got a 24 hour bug while we were there which was no fun. All in all a great holiday!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WvIIenQoiqc/TwkmVSCCHAI/AAAAAAAAEOs/rOSgNwCkJqM/s1600/DSCN1605.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;

Holy uncomfortable.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">December highlights: </span><span>In December my sister Amy and her son came to visit us for a couple nights. Her husband was going out of town on business...and as usual, Nate was busy with school so she came to Christmas shop and hang out! We didn't get too many pictures because our kids got sick but we had fun hanging out! We went to a "Christmas parade" in Selah and were surprised to see about 4 cars drive by and then it was over. I think we stood there shocked in the shortness of the "parade" longer than we actually watched a "parade." It was ok though, we got to take Zak to see Santa who was there, went out to dinner and then went Christmas shopping as a family. It was a fun night that we hadn't even planned on having. Cole got his first haircut by my friend Leah. Cole started taking some significant steps and started walking! Santa came to Zak's preschool. We went to Idaho for Christmas and got to see the lights downtown Caldwell, visit lots of family and friends, celebrate our 5th anniversary (which I have no pictures of), spent a night in La Grande with Nate's sister's family, and just hung out. Zak and I got sick over Christmas with sore throats and fevers but we still had a great time. Back to our anniversary, we just went to eat at the Cheesecake Factory, shopped and stayed out overnight with no kids! Thanks grandmas and grandpas for watching our kids! =)<br /><br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-txoRigBzz4s/TwkvEeap9jI/AAAAAAAAESY/1G3TOFqg5z4/s1600/DSCN1698.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-txoRigBzz4s/TwkvEeap9jI/AAAAAAAAESY/1G3TOFqg5z4/s400/DSCN1698.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134957717550642" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bqtEkwIJObQ/TwkvD-MrfZI/AAAAAAAAESM/NhVB2_aggbM/s1600/DSCN1700.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bqtEkwIJObQ/TwkvD-MrfZI/AAAAAAAAESM/NhVB2_aggbM/s400/DSCN1700.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134949068995986" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p5zUFXOXCSg/TwkvDvwxojI/AAAAAAAAESA/OgFRkk7RHoA/s1600/DSCN1694.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p5zUFXOXCSg/TwkvDvwxojI/AAAAAAAAESA/OgFRkk7RHoA/s400/DSCN1694.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134945193861682" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ughEK4NyWMM/TwkuhnbVqkI/AAAAAAAAER0/FT4qtcW3zEM/s1600/DSCN1692.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ughEK4NyWMM/TwkuhnbVqkI/AAAAAAAAER0/FT4qtcW3zEM/s400/DSCN1692.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134358840912450" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DFl2oSM_jz0/TwkuhCaCsAI/AAAAAAAAERo/aYGdZDRFPfM/s1600/DSCN1685.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DFl2oSM_jz0/TwkuhCaCsAI/AAAAAAAAERo/aYGdZDRFPfM/s400/DSCN1685.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134348903362562" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JMPb_vlaf8g/TwkugWcsu6I/AAAAAAAAERc/ReDzXSxG_lc/s1600/DSCN1682.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JMPb_vlaf8g/TwkugWcsu6I/AAAAAAAAERc/ReDzXSxG_lc/s400/DSCN1682.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134337103346594" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0KBGLPPBE4M/TwkufSeXarI/AAAAAAAAERQ/WMR0BLNL_gs/s1600/DSCN1675.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0KBGLPPBE4M/TwkufSeXarI/AAAAAAAAERQ/WMR0BLNL_gs/s400/DSCN1675.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695134318856727218" border="0" /></a> Zak coloring/snacking with cousin Eli.

We had 2 families over for a small New Year's party here in Yakima. It was great ringing in the new year with friends. Nate bought me a plane ticket to HAWAII!!! Woooohooooo! 6 days with no kids and sunny beaches and GREAT friends!! Can't wait! Leave the 20th! Now for the big news......ZAK turned 4!!! He was pretty excited for his birthday. He was so excited to turn 4 like his friends across the street (who are now 5!) I had planned on not making him a cake because each year on his birthday, he never eats the cake. So I planned on ice cream sundaes but when I told him that, he insisted he wanted a cake. He asked for a chocolate cake with "no white and no sprinkles just chocolate." So that's what we did. The most basic chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with no decorations or anything that might not taste right. Just chocolate. Well we went bowling and to Burger King (Zak's choices) then came home and opened presents and then I asked if he was ready for cake and ice cream and he kept saying no, he just wanted to play with his new toys. After a bit he came in and asked if he could have a popsicle! I was like "No way! We have cake and ice cream!" So FINALLY he was ready and I gave him cake with a slice of vanilla ice cream and he ate ALL his ice cream and one bite of cake! That's it. Good thing a made his chocolate cake! haha Some of Zak's favorite things are animals. He loves watching national geographics on animals, cartoons about animals (Wild Kratts being a favorite), he loves giving us random animal facts, loves playing superheros, loves trains, and wrestling. He is such a good brother who is almost always willing to help make Cole smile when he's fussy or share his snacks with him when Cole wants a taste. He's great at helping Cole walk (even though he doesn't really need it anymore) and is always there to regulate on other babies that might take something out of Cole's hands. =) He loves helping me clean and cook and is definitely a rule-follower. He's such a good boy and is great at telling the truth. He stresses a little more than Nate and I which we're not sure where he gets that. Almost every morning when he wakes up he comes and gives me morning loves (a big hug/snuggle). He moved up to the Sunbeam class in primary at church and feels like such a big boy. He likes to show us how big his muscles are, how tall he is, how fast he can run, etc. We just love him to pieces!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eHcWcryViBU/Twk145Z0UCI/AAAAAAAAEUg/5yo2xnXHY9A/s1600/DSCN1741.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eHcWcryViBU/Twk145Z0UCI/AAAAAAAAEUg/5yo2xnXHY9A/s400/DSCN1741.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695142455384756258" border="0" /></a> Zak's uneaten cake and gobbled up ice cream.

He was super excited the days and night leading up to it...then the morning of, I couldn't get him out of bed. I kept telling him it was preschool day and he kept sleeping. Finally, I told him I was going to go to preschool without him and he shot up and out of bed. After he got ready he ran outside and yelled to the bigger kids who were walking to school or bus stops "Guys, I'm going to preschool today!" Very matter of fact- like. It was so cute how proud he was. The first day was just a one-hour day and parents got to stay. So we saw where his cubby would be and met other kids in the class, which quite a few we knew/recognized from church, and sang songs and explored the classroom and had cookies and juice. Zak is so excited to be going to school. I'm also quite excited for some free time for 2 hours 2 days a week! haha</a> Although I can not believe I have a kid old enough to be in preschool!! We love this boy and I'm so excited for all the adventures/field trips and projects and things he'll learn in school!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N1yL-NO4LEE/Tm2OFRf20LI/AAAAAAAAEJc/u1YCiZ0CHhQ/s1600/DSCN1412.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N1yL-NO4LEE/Tm2OFRf20LI/AAAAAAAAEJc/u1YCiZ0CHhQ/s400/DSCN1412.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651329328667349170" border="0" /></a>I could not get this boy to just look at the camera and give me a nice smile.

<br />This is a little sloppier than his normal crawl...but he just hates performing when I start the video. Actually most the videos of him crawling have Zak jumping the way so Cole doesn't get the toy (Zak's) that I put out for him to crawl to.

On June 15th we sadly left our home of two years in Hawaii to move back to the mainland. We were sad to leave Hawaii and really sad to leave the friends we made there, but have been super excited for our next adventure which would be moving to Yakima, WA for Nate to start medical school. So we are now here in Yakima, getting to know the area and meeting new people etc. We found a 3 bedroom duplex that is super close to Nate's school and is surrounded by a lot of young families which is fun. So between getting into Idaho on June 15th and now, we have visited family in Idaho, visited Nate's sister Shauna and her family in La Grande, vistited my sister Amy and her family in Heppner, visited Nate's other sister Shelbey and her family in Pilot Rock (all those sisters live in Oregon), came to Yakima to find a house, back to Idaho to visit family and get our stuff, camped, moved to Yakima with the help of Nate's parents, Nate's mom had chest pains while helping us move and ended up having open heart 5-bypass surgery here in Yakima, so we got to have all the Hogg siblings visit our new home here, my sister Amy and her family also visited to help us try to get as moved in as possible before all the Hoggs got here, mother-in-law did 2 weeks of recovering in Yakima, then we all went back to Idaho, then back to WA, and Nate has just finished his first week of school which has been all orientation. He's definitely liked what he's seen and is ready to just get school started. Hopefully that was all understandable. Before we left Hawaii we spent a lot of time trying to get all the things done there that we loved to do and wanted to do one last time before we left and also trying to spend time with our friends that we knew we were going to miss. The last little bit before we left we got to do a beach day at Waimanalo with our friends and play volleyball which was so fun....like ususal. Our good friend Holly is a dolphin trainer at Kahala Resort near Waikiki and so we did a dolphin encounter and she was the trainer that did it for us which was super cool. Nate and I went on a date to the revolving restaurant in Waikiki called the Top of Waikiki and then walked on the beach and chilled for a bit. We hiked Koko Head a couple times and spent time at Ala Moana Beach Park. We ate yummy Asian and local/Hawaiian cuisine that we'll miss and walked around Waikiki and just hung out with friends. Our friends gave us an awesome going away party the night before we left and it was a lot of fun. We loved our time in Hawaii and all the awesome new things we got to experience because we lived there. We were so lucky to have made such awesome friends there that we'll hopefully be able to keep forever! Now pictures of it all...hopefully in some type of order! All the pictures are in the exact opposite order of how I wanted them. So if you start at the bottom and scroll up, then they will be in chronological order! =)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvXFqKjl4zI/Tj3KeG7rtnI/AAAAAAAAEIE/fIOX4GI301c/s1600/DSCN1365.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lvXFqKjl4zI/Tj3KeG7rtnI/AAAAAAAAEIE/fIOX4GI301c/s400/DSCN1365.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637884927143556722" border="0" /></a> All the Hogg siblings with their mother the night before her surgery.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BE-VPrA1uDU/Tj3KeeRuGuI/AAAAAAAAEIM/-j_pvCcd4Vo/s1600/DSCN1374.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BE-VPrA1uDU/Tj3KeeRuGuI/AAAAAAAAEIM/-j_pvCcd4Vo/s400/DSCN1374.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637884933410003682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d8mwJnGKNdM/Tj3JI59MhII/AAAAAAAAEHo/--oWlzw3TD4/s1600/DSCN1351.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d8mwJnGKNdM/Tj3JI59MhII/AAAAAAAAEHo/--oWlzw3TD4/s400/DSCN1351.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637883463371359362" border="0" /></a> Cole, Stephen, Paco (dog), Nate, Zak and Jeff at Succor Creek<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8HhblEnZYEM/Tj3JIjwATYI/AAAAAAAAEHg/W6kZRb2YVQo/s1600/DSCN1349.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8HhblEnZYEM/Tj3JIjwATYI/AAAAAAAAEHg/W6kZRb2YVQo/s400/DSCN1349.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637883457410452866" border="0" /></a> Zak couldn't wait to fish!

We went with my friend Becca and her sons Bentley and Jackson. Zak and Bentley loved checking out the dinosaurs and REALLY loved digging for dinosaur bones and checking out the gift shop. The dinosaurs looked awesome, but there weren't quite as many as Becca and I thought there would be. The boys didn't seem disappointed though..so I was happy. While we were there they also got to check out a show in the planeterium....I had to duck out early to nurse Cole, but Becca was kind enough to stay in their with her boys and Zak. The part I saw was pretty boring, but Becca said it got a lot more exciting after I left.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aMazxJgm4HI/TY5GZu7f0uI/AAAAAAAAEAI/1PvBxi56s_g/s1600/DSCN0964.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Poor kid got slightly jipped because I was so MISERABLY pregnant and Nate was super busy with his masters thesis presentation. But we managed to get him the 2 things he REALLY wanted which were chocolate cake and green ice cream (mint chocolate chip). Grandparents on both sides sent him super fun gifts and he also loved his balloons. At 3 years old Zak is loving dinosaurs, cars, trains, and is potty trained! He loves playing basketball and tackling with his dad and is an awesome helper when it comes to baking with me or setting the table for dinner. We sure do love him!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hTsL6zyd5Bo/TW75C94DutI/AAAAAAAAD74/yrDNXgx8w8o/s1600/DSCN0803.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hTsL6zyd5Bo/TW75C94DutI/AAAAAAAAD74/yrDNXgx8w8o/s400/DSCN0803.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579670817723366098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HW7sfAK0x_M/TW75CnfyBnI/AAAAAAAAD7w/42FYDR3aM1o/s1600/DSCN0799.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HW7sfAK0x_M/TW75CnfyBnI/AAAAAAAAD7w/42FYDR3aM1o/s400/DSCN0799.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579670811715962482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mBm3FXRzvjE/TW75CeYDTII/AAAAAAAAD7o/e9pWPbw34KI/s1600/DSCN0798.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mBm3FXRzvjE/TW75CeYDTII/AAAAAAAAD7o/e9pWPbw34KI/s400/DSCN0798.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579670809267620994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wjvxemx807c/TW72g2uDWuI/AAAAAAAAD7c/YRaL97W81d4/s1600/DSCN0797.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wjvxemx807c/TW72g2uDWuI/AAAAAAAAD7c/YRaL97W81d4/s400/DSCN0797.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579668032663542498" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760203475301988059.post-38411414692079774772011-03-02T16:47:00.000-08:002011-03-02T17:07:59.721-08:00Our new baby boy is here!!!This post is WAY overdue...like most of them have been. BUT, on January 19, 2011 we welcomed our baby boy Cole Steven Hogg to the world and our family. He came at 5:29 p.m. and weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. Labor was quick and easy and we just love him to pieces! Here's a video of Zak meeting him.<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxQC_s-j99uSkcsagb-sY1FyuICyyqU9lRX_RjHGk-zaI76r5mxwWeNn7Y_YKrBIU8ZzrEp0BqWX93JKFYrrQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760203475301988059.post-25617119532387236282011-01-13T23:53:00.000-08:002011-01-14T03:49:40.313-08:00Trip to Idaho, Christmas, Anniversary, misc. CRAZY<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CCCCFF;">Quick Catch up on Us</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CCCCFF;"><br /></span></div><div>So I haven't blogged in forever like usual but a lot is going on lately. December was busy with our anniversary and Christmas and starting to really focus on potty training Zak. January has been busy with Zak's birthday, lots of changes and things going on at church with the new year and my being in the primary presidency, Nate preparing and presenting his masters proposal (and passsing with flying colors, I might add), we're in the process of moving to a bigger apartment, and I'm 9 months pregnant, so we'll be expecting our second little boy any day now. We're busy, we're happy, and doing well! This pregnancy has been quite a bit different than my pregnancy with Zak...but no major problems or concerns so that's awesome. Although I may need to post a picture of my feet...if you can even call them that. They're huge. Swollen. Balloons. Zak has done awesome with his potty training and it has been a fairly unfrustrating process. I think I waited long enough to potty train him that by the time we really started working on it, he was ready and although not super willing at first, came around very quickly and was old enough to understand when I just told him point blank that we ran out of diapers and don't have anymore. When he started asking me to go to the store to buy some more so he could #2, I knew a boy old enough to ask his mother to go to the store to buy diapers was old enough to learn to use the potty. He's done awesome. He loves wrestling and playing basketball with Dad. He also loves to characterize everything into boys and/or girls. Like if he and Nate are playing basketball he tells me to watch out so they don't get me, because basketball is for boys. And he's always looking and my jewelery and nail polish telling me it's for girls. Tonight he told me girls eat salad and boys eat goldfish. Boys run and girls walk. Boys have big muscles. And every once in awhile we'll be in the car when a song comes on the radio that is being sung by a girl, and he asks me to change it to a boy song, which is any song that has a boy singing. He cracks us up most the time and knows how to push our buttons the other times. He's excited to be a big brother and always tells us that he's going to share his toys with the baby. We'll see what happens! I haven't uploaded pictures from his birthday yet...but I will get on that soon!..hopefully. But this post is carazy long anyway so I will cut this part off here!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663300;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663300;">Aloha Oe to the Garners!</span></div><div><br /></div>This is Zak and his good friend Julien saying farewell. Julien's family moved to Utah while we were visiting our families in Idaho over Thanksgiving. This was the night we were flying out. We were so sad to come back to a Garner-less Hawaii.

Woa I'm getting old! ...we flew to Idaho to visit our families for Thanksgiving. Nate hadn't really left the island since we've been in Hawaii (year and a half) and needed a break from work. We had a lot of fun catching up with family and relaxing Idaho style. We got to see Nate's little bro, Steph, who'd just gotten home from a mission, meet Nate's little brother, Jeff's girlfriend, Alyssa. And see pretty much all our siblings except Parker and Sarah who live in St. Louis and Steele and Kiersten who live here in Hawaii. <div>Zak got much better acquainted with all his cousins on both sides and loved playing with his grandparents toys and in the snow. He got to see cows, horses, tractors, trailors, etc. All the things he loves to look at out the window while we'd drive.</div><div>Nate also got the opportunity to interview at the University of Utah for medical school while we were home. He drove through a crazy snow storm to get there on the 28th...interviewed the 29th and drove back to Boise and then we flew back to Honolulu on the 30th. We're so proud of him for getting an interview and hope to hear good news in the next few months!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTAV7bahHXI/AAAAAAAAD6s/qygkbJfJdQ4/s1600/DSCN0708.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTAV7bahHXI/AAAAAAAAD6s/qygkbJfJdQ4/s400/DSCN0708.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561969650518007154" /></a>Playing basketball with Grandpa Berg at McDonald's playland.

Christmas Eve we had a marvelous prime rib dinner with our neighbors Heber and Olya and Nate's brother Steele and his wife Kiersten. It was a great time! Then we drove downtown Honolulu to check out Christmas lights. Then we went to our friend Mark and Marty's to have dessert with them for Mark's birthday. We then went home and read the Christmas story out of the Bible as a family and opened one gift and put Zak to bed. Nate and I had a great time wrapping and setting up for the morning. Christmas morning we got up and did Santa stuff... and then Heber and Olya came over again and we had breakfast and did presents from each other and family. The rest of the day we just relaxed and then did Christmas dinner with our friends the Moss's who just had a new baby a few days before. We spent the evening with them and had a great time. It was a very relaxing holiday for us!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANyVRsybI/AAAAAAAAD5c/vjMlvLD4wyA/s1600/DSCN0766.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANyVRsybI/AAAAAAAAD5c/vjMlvLD4wyA/s400/DSCN0766.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561960698158565810" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANyHEm7RI/AAAAAAAAD5U/eyxfBCy8FZI/s1600/DSCN0773.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANyHEm7RI/AAAAAAAAD5U/eyxfBCy8FZI/s400/DSCN0773.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561960694345559314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANx1-Id3I/AAAAAAAAD5M/pMn33ru_JEs/s1600/DSCN0774.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANx1-Id3I/AAAAAAAAD5M/pMn33ru_JEs/s400/DSCN0774.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561960689754994546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANxtnrNdI/AAAAAAAAD5E/0UjASy-q2dw/s1600/DSCN0783.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTANxtnrNdI/AAAAAAAAD5E/0UjASy-q2dw/s400/DSCN0783.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561960687513318866" /></a><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;">4th Anniversary</span></div><div><br /><div>Nate and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary on Dec. 23rd. I didn't think Nate was really even thinking about our anniversary...especially because he'd been having a super busy month at work and hadn't even been able to put too much thought into Christmas. I was kinda planning a back up plan for him in case he didn't get around to planning anything. So I talked to a friend about maybe babysitting and thought we'd just go out to dinner or something and maybe do some Christmas shopping. We take turns planning our anniversaries...this is why I was trying to not take over! haha Anyway, Nate totally surprised me with tickets for a sunset dinner cruise in Waikiki on the Star of Honolulu. I was excited to be doing something that sounded so romantic as well as relaxing and kind of quiet. I was also a little worried that the food would be too fancy for my tastebuds but everything ended up being really good!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTAKhvZcAnI/AAAAAAAAD44/yLSYL8ahLpc/s1600/DSCN0750.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTAKhvZcAnI/AAAAAAAAD44/yLSYL8ahLpc/s400/DSCN0750.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561957114577683058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTAKhXpxweI/AAAAAAAAD4w/VKftbLHSlYo/s1600/DSCN0728.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TTAKhXpxweI/AAAAAAAAD4w/VKftbLHSlYo/s400/DSCN0728.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561957108203766242" /></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The buildings with green roofs in this picture are where Nate spends his days.

We thought it was a great idea to get out of the house, enjoy some nature, wear Zak out, and do a hike we hadn't done before. Little did we know we were about to embark on one wet, rainy, muddy, slippery hike! Zak and Duke loved jumping in the puddles (and the river for Duke). Zak also loved throwing rocks in the river. He wasn't so sure what to think when it really started raining, but we had a great time. I didn't get pictures of us with the Hiatt's...but they were there too. Trust me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TLO2rIvDOcI/AAAAAAAAD2Q/z32FpidwiWI/s1600/DSCN0556.JPG"></a></span><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TLO2rIvDOcI/AAAAAAAAD2Q/z32FpidwiWI/s1600/DSCN0556.JPG"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_coSiD4K4-aA/TLO2rIvDOcI/AAAAAAAAD2Q/z32FpidwiWI/s400/DSCN0556.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526962019909188034" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC9933;">Holy humid!

I start getting overwhelmed about posting again because I'm so far behind but i'll try to give some quick highlights of what we've been up to.<br /><br />I left off in February. Hmmmm I have no idea about what happened in March or April we'll see if I have any pictures from those months to remind me. In May, Nate finished the 1st year of his 2-year Masters program and University of Hawaii. He did awesome and has really enjoyed his research. Zak and I took a trip to Idaho to visit family so Nate could get in some extra studying for qualifying exams and the MCAT. Zak did AWESOME on the airplane and slept pretty much the enitre flight from Honolulu to Salt Lake. He stayed awake from Salt Lake to Boise and just played and looked out the window etc. He loved seeing his Grandma's and Grandpa's on both sides and some cousins and aunts and uncles. We were a little bummed the weather wasn't better.... it was freezing....but we still had a great time. We were in Idaho for about 3 1/2 weeks and were ready to be home again by the end. Zak and I were both missing Nate like crazy so it was good to be reunited. And I got some flowers from my sweet hubby when we got back to the house. =)<br /><br />June seemed to fly by. Nate woked and studied hard for the MCAT while Zak and I had some beach days to make up for our lack of beach in Idaho and had fun catching back up with friends here. Then this month Nate took the MCAT. YEAAAAAAH!!! He has to wait like 30 days for his scores to come back but I'm so proud of him for how hard he studied and worked and I think he did AWESOME! <br /><br />Zak is 2 1/2 and is getting so big. He can count to 10 and knows most of his letters. He can say short bedtime prayers by himself. He has a book of dinosaurs and can name them all and tell us whether they're plant-eaters or meat-eaters. Still not potty trained....but my goal is to actually start trying to potty train him asap. =) When he needs to go poop he goes into the bathroom, shuts the door, poops in his diaper and then flushes the toilet. So we're kinda missing out on the biggest step....but hey...we gotta start somewhere. He loves collecting rocks whereever we go so he can save them to throw into the ocean the next time we go. So at pretty much any given time you can go through my purse and find at least a few rocks...or find them in random places at our house. He loves finding bugs and squishing them, running playing cars, trains, animals, dinosaurs...etc. He's very protective of me these days and let's Nate know if he's not playing soft enough with mommy. =) Or if I say something and Nate says something different, Zak gets pretty worked up repeating what I said to Nate. Zak loves when Nate comes home and LOVES to have Nate play tackle with him. He likes to get thrown on the bed or do little flips (with nate's help) and all those things that mommy's just aren't so good at. <br />I did the summer reading program with Zak that the library puts on and he LOVES getting new books and reading them over and over. He got to earn some prizes too which was fun. <br />We have so much fun taking Zak out and doing stuff as a little family. Zak's definitely a stubborn little guy and knows what he wants and when. We love him though and are so greatful he's part of our family.<br /><br />I guess that's kinda it for now. Sorry it's kinda random. I feel a little scatter-brained but I finally did a little bit of catching up at least!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760203475301988059.post-26862072582141001272010-02-10T23:43:00.000-08:002010-02-11T01:07:03.525-08:00Yes, it's true..I updated our blog!Where to begin??? I guess I'll just summarize our recent happenings by month and try to give you a quick overview of what we've been up to the last few months. <br /><br /><EM><STRONG>NOVEMBER:</STRONG></EM> Hmmmm, I can't remember too much of this month. My 25th birthday was on the 17th. We celebrated Thanksgiving with a big group of friends all of which had no family on the island and weren't going home to celebrate. I think there were almost 30 of us there. It was hosted by our friends Kellie and Darrick who live in a high rise with a big room they can reserve for parties, etc.so that's where it was held. It was a lot of fun. Looks like I can't remember too much more of this month. Oh ya, Nate's brother Jeff that had been staying with us since August went back to Idaho and my friend Sadie came and visited. Lots and lots of fun! <br /><EM><STRONG>DECEMBER</STRONG></EM>: This was a busy month as I'm sure you can all imagine. Although I don't have many pictures from the holidays because my camera decided to break on Christmas EVE!!! Yes, I was quite upset..but we did get a few picture from our disposable camera we got that night. This was our 1st Christmas we've celebrated totally on our own. (Oh, and our anniversary was on the 23rd) We just hung out on Christmas Eve for the most part and had a BBQ on the beach (Magic Island) with the Garner Family. Steak, shrimp, fruits and veggies, salad..Mmmmm. That night Nate and I had a blast getting the house and gifts/stockings ready for Zak. Christmas morning was so much fun watching Zak realize that all the boxes that had been under the tree had fun things inside of them! For quite awhile after Christmas he'd bring me random things asking me to open them...things that don't open. I think he just thought everything had fun surprises in them after Christmas. We all got spoiled and had a nice relaxing day. Until Nate and I fell asleep for a mid-morning nap when there was a knock at our door with our neighbor telling us Zak was out playing in the parking lot! SCARY! Woops! Anyway, he was safe, don't worry. =) We had dinner with our friends Dan and Ann and had lamb and mashed potatoes and rolls and salad and had AMAZING bread pudding for dessert. Although we missed our families, we had a great time with just our little family on our first Christmas alone. <br /><EM><STRONG>JANUARY</STRONG></EM>: There's a couple we know from Idaho who are living on the North Shore in a beautiful 4 bedroom 4 bathroom house right on the beach. They were in Idaho for the holidays and their son's wedding and let us stay at their house over New Years. Nate and I went up on Dec. 30th and then Dan and Ann and their son Teague, came up the 31st to help us ring in the New Year. It was so relaxing getting out of Honolulu and just having a real kitchen and yard and our own beach to chill at. We snorkeled and laid out and then had a fun time watching all the crazy fireworks that were going off, off all the different shores that we could see. Zak's 2nd birthday was Jan. 6th. We threw him a little party at Chuck E. Cheese and he loved it. He got spoiled by friends and family and probably just a tiny bit by us. I made him this snake/caterpillar/creature cake and he was not impressed at all. Apparently he's only interested in chocolate cake b/c he got a free slice of chocolate cake from Chuck E. Cheese and he was all about it and it didn't even look like a cute little snake thing! Oh well I guess...I tried. Grandma and Roger vacationed on Maui and then, lucky for us, came to Oahu! They took Zak and I out to lunch one day and we went for a scenic drive while Nate was at school. Then, their last night here, they took Nate and I to dinner and on a little shopping trip! It was so much fun to see them and spend some time with them and get spoiled by them! =)I can't remember if anything else happened this month... <br /><EM><STRONG>FEBRUARY</STRONG></EM> (as of yet..): Nate's birthday was on the 4th. He turned the big 2-7! We made him bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast. Then, he worked and schooled most of the day. Then we went and got him some sa-weet snorkeling gear. Then we went to eat at Buca di Beppo with Brint and Brea while our awesome friends Olya and Heber watched Zak. Then we came home and had an awesome ice cream cake (made by me)with Heber, Olya and Stephanie. We're horrible planners...so sorry for other friends we didn't have come celebrate with us..it was all very last minute. Promise. =) My friend Brea colored my hair caramel brown. Um, and I think we're now current. WOOOOHOOOOOO! Sorry I didn't write in a very interesting way... I was just trying to hurry and bring us current without getting into major details and typing 4 million pages. So now for the pictures! <br />*Drag cursor over picture for caption, or part of a caption.
