Our hawaiian getaway!

Isaac and I decided that we had better get a little vacation in before I get too big and before the baby gets here which by the way isn't til October(for all those people who keep asking me if I'm due anytime now!) So we went to our most favorite vacation destination ....Hawaii! It is where we first met and started this major adventure you know! We got friends and family to watch our four very dissapointed children that they were getting left behind and wisked away to Oahu!! we left on a red eye flight on thursday/friday and got to Honolulu at 6 am Friday morning! we rented a car and went straight to our hotel the Queen Kapiolani on Waikiki! We checked our bags b/c check in wasn't until 3pm, changed into our suits and went to the beach! It was magnificent!!! Laying out with no one asking you to get something for them or breaking up arguements or keeping tabs on everyones where-abouts! just laying in the morning sun wiht the sound of waves crashing on the beach! we both totally fell asleep and relaxed for hours! Did I mention that I love Hawaii? we bummed around the beach and waikiki most of the day and then we checked into our room around 2pm! I (the big pregnant one), took a nap and Isaac ran Diamond head! Go Isaac! After getting all cleaned up and dooled up we went out to dinner at the Shore Bird, where we had our first official date 14 years ago! It was amazing! we got an ocean view table and watched the sun set on Waikiki! It was magical! The whole weekend was terrific! we went to all our old stomping grounds all our favorite beaches and of course all of our favorite treats (Matsumotos!) We saw dear friends and old teschers/coaches and just majorly enjoyed every minute of our time there! It wasn't nearly long enough but with four great kids at home we couldn't stay longer! If we could we would totally move back there in a heart beat! LOVE IT THERE! Isaac and I are such a great match it was so fun to be there with him and laugh and relax and eat up every minute together! Here's some pictures of paradise! Eat your heart out!

Christmas at the Gornichecs

Ok so I was so not in the frame of mind to take pictures WHILE we were decorating but here is the finished product!

My 3rd Annual Christmas Guitar Recital

Well, it was so much fun but I have to say I am relieved it is over! I have 15 students right now and 2 of them are my own! Needless to say it keeps me busy! I really enjoy it though and I have some really great kids and adults that I teach. only 11 sudents could make it to the recital and Kerri didn't get a picture because I was playing with her! I am so proud of all my "kids" they all did a teriffic job!

THE Picture!

I told you it was out there! I don't think people actually believed me! So Proof! Here it is! Josh, Fergie, Me, and Isaac! I have my lovely I don't want to smile because of my braces smile on but oh well! It's Josh and Fergie! Enjoy!

Hailee's Big Day! Her Baptism!!

Here She is the most gorgeous little 8 yr old in the world! It was such an amazing day! Nana and Papa were there, Grandma Kris and Grandpa Luwayne, Papa G and Nana Vicky! Aunt Mandy, Uncle Scott, Parker, Bailey and Ty! Uncle Luke and Aunt Michelle, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Jake, Uncle Josh and Aunt Mckinna, and so many of her friends! She is quite the popular girl! Papa gave the talk on baptism and did a wonderful job. Hailee and I were going to sing a song but when we got up there I got about 2 words out and got all choked up but she carried on like a pro and sang all by herself beautifully! She is just so big! Isaac baptised her and all the boys mentioned above helped confirm her! It was such a beautiful day! She looked angelic as she came out of the water and she felt the Holy Ghost as she felt her Fathers hands layed upon her head! Can you believe I have two kids that are accountable now? That's just crazy! I am so grateful for the gospel, It guides me and strengthens me everyday and I am so blessed to share those feelings and blessings with my children! It's amazing to watch your child choose to be baptized and see the changes it brings to their lives! Isaac and I are extremely blessed!

Halloween!

Yes I am just now posting my pics for Halloween! My kiddos were sooooo cute! By the time Halloween finally came I was trick or treated out!
