Ryan on Good Morning America!

Ryan and two of his friends from the Blackhawk course were on Good Morning America.

This video was taken right after the boys graduated flight school.

When you graduate, you receive a set of wings that are worn on your uniform.

So that's why the sign says "Got our wings".
Forward to 2:04 in the video. Or enjoy the whole thing :)
 
Good Morning America
 

Horsies!

Today we got to go on our trail ride.
Ryan didn't get to go though :(

Before the ride started we got to witness this.

Apparently he was unable to make it to the porta-potty.

Here we are on our horses.

My horse was named "Hombre".

We couldn't remember Joe's horses name.. so we called him "Butch".
Erika's horse was named "Skippy".

Me and my Hombre again.

Weekend Update.

Here are some pictures from our weekend.

This is when we picked up Joe and Erika from the airport!
If you notice, the leis are made with alcohol :)

Thursday night we went to Dave & Buster's and this was our big prize.

Here we are about to start our 4-wheeler tour.

The place we rode the ATVs was the place they filmed Lost and Jurassic Park.

Here is Joe as a dinosaur

Here we are in Godzilla's footprint.

Here we are on a Lost site.

We were inside of a bomb shelter. Note how dirty I am

After the tour.

Saturday we missed our horse back riding slot so we went to the beach.

Sunday we rode jet skis in the ocean.
We didn't get any pictures but it was really cool.
Tomorrow we are going to take the horse back riding tour that we missed Saturday.
Ryan doesn't get to go though :(

And now for the real thing.

Let's see.. where to begin?

Well, Joe and Erika are flying in tomorrow!
We have had our house for exactly one week and we already have visitors!
I am not sure what all we will do when they are here but I think there is a horse back riding adventure on tap.

I am going through some pictures so I think I will use them to update.

This is at the Honolulu Zoo.
I just couldn't resist posing with hippos.

Ryan and I loved that they had different animals hanging out together.

This guy reminded us of Duke.

This is before we went to the "Magic of Polynesia" dinner show.
I thought that is would be pretty cheesy but I really couldn't figure out the illusions.
It even snowed at the end of the show.
We ended up having a really good time, the magician made a helicopter disappear.

We got the keys to our new house the following morning.
And on Friday all of our household goods arrived.
Since then it has been nonstop unpacking and sorting.
You really accumulate a lot of junk between every move.
I am glad that we move so often because it forces us to take inventory of our belongings.

I got my car back last week, the same day we got the keys to our new house.
There are two chips in the paint but they were really nice about paying for the repairs.
We took an estimate in to the claims office and walked out with a check.
Too easy :)
Now the claims for my damaged household items is not going so well.
So far my broken list includes; my washer, my outdoor fire place, my bowls, a dresser, a painting, and a coffee mug.
Lots of dents and scratches on our furniture as well.
And a nice oily black footprint on our couch.
The company that came to deliver our things said that it was one of  the worst packing jobs they had ever seen.

The countdown until the pups arrive has started!
Only 12 more days!
We have been buying them toys and treats everytime we go to the store.
They should be pretty happy when they come home to all of their new loot.

Well, its getting late.
I love you guys.
Stay tuned.

Quick sneak peek!

Hi guys!
I am sorry I have been neglecting my blog.
The cable man just left so I decided to log on and share a pic.
Here is the one and only room that is complete in our new home.
The kitchen, of course.
Always my priority:)
