Hawaii

So we've been back from Hawaii for quite awhile but life has been busy. Derek is back in school and working at Master Auto Parts and as a math tutor at COC. I am working at American Eagle still, unfortunately, but on Wednesday I'll have my second round of interviews to be a personal banker at Wells Fargo. Anyways enough about that...Hawaii was amazing. It was my first time and I just loved it. We did so many fun things: Volcano Park, The Highest Point in Hawaii with the NASA Telescopes, Scuba Diving, Hapuna Beach, Luau, Kayaking, lots of games, sun, and fun. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. I wish i could share them all with you.

At the village by the Tutu's House. The last fishing village
Our Kayaking adventure that ended with me getting beat up by the lava rocks. My knee was bleeding so badly and my legs were all scraped up. I was seriously scared that the sharks were going to smell my blood.
I'm obsessed with snow cones and Hawaiian Shaved Ice is to die for.
The Kona Temple. It was so beautiful.
On the black sand beach. The water was so warm.
At the Waipio Overlook.
Everyone at the luau. That was so fun.
At the Volcano Park
In the Lava Tubes
City of Refuge.
Derek's Grandparents backyard. It was awesome

We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr...

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

Owen at 6 months

  This is my little Owen and he is the most handsome little boy ever. He brings so much joy to our lives. He is an excellent napper, happy 98% of the time, and a great little brother. He laughs at every thing Brooklyn does and is so patient as she pulls and pokes him while they try and play. Here is a glimpse of Owen James at 6 months old: He sits up and loves to play with anything put in front of him He drools like nothing I've ever seen before Can roll from front to back and back to front but mostly rolls from back to tummy Loves tummy time Is obsessed with Brooklyn and Peek a boo Isn't the best night time sleeper but he is getting better every day. He gave me 6 hrs last night...to bad it was from 6 pm to 12 am instead of 12 am to 6 am. Once he's in a deep sleep he does great but just has a hard time getting to sleep at first Smiles at everyone so he can show off his dimples Blabs mama everyday all day but I don't think he has connected it yet...
