The Most Disgusting Thing You Ever Did See

So me and Haydn have been trying to spend some more quality time together, mainly because we JUST got the internet at our place and Haydn never gets off it. (Milz I know it's for a good cause but I'm pregnant and vunerable)
So we start making some cookies, which is fast becoming a tradition on our Sunday afternoons and Haydn is just finding it a little too hard to concentrate. I have to think of something to keep him focused on and anything BUT the internet PRONTO!
He walks into our computer room and the internet is STILL on and he sees a mate online that he hasn't talked to in like maybe a week (booohooo) and I tell him to turn it off or he doesn't get to feel my preggy belly for 24 hours. Since he just can't bear to be away from the technology he decides it might be a good idea to clean our keyboard which was starting to look pretty grim. I love cleaning so I decide it could be fun............until I see whats underneath the keys, Dun Dun DUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN...................check it out
Is that not THE most disgusting thing you have ever seen? I almost threw up.
So this is the keyboard with all the keys off. Now to save myself from the embarrassment that has already consumed me, in my defence this keyboard was bought with our new computer 7 years ago when we still lived in England. Dad just got a new Mac and gave us this computer and I am pretty sure we have never cleaned it. So what I'm trying to say is that is 7 years of dirt right there, no wonder it is so hideous (not sure how I thought that would save me any embarrassment actually, but just thought I needed to let you know).
Once all the keys were off I left Haydn with the empty keyboard which he vaccumed and disinfected with Cotton Buds and I scrubbed away at the kitchen sink with all the keys, now that's a lot of keys right there, it took quite a while, and I was a bit over it......
....... BUT after the keys dried we had heaps of fun putting them all back in the right spot (I was the clever one and decided we took a photo before we took them all off LUCKY) and then I couldn't WAIT to get on the net and blog about my amazingly clean and disinfected keyboard.
Thanks Haydn this experience has truly helped us bond! (I told you cleaning can be fun!) Love you xxx

This blog was brought to you by the cleanest keyboard you ever did see and a happy pregnant wife ;)

THE BUMP!!!


24 weeks and 1 day


26 weeks and 2 days

So Kristin wanted some baby bump photos and I thought it was good idea to journal some of these.
I hope you enjoy them, because that bump right there is the cause of my almost constant heartburn the last week or so. BLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRGGGGHHHHHH
Pretty huge aye?
It's funny how when I first got pregnant I could not WAIT to get a bump, then I am surrounded by these tiny pregnant women in their third trimesters (well not surrounded just my 2 sisters in law) who have neat compact cute little bumps, and I hate it.
I love being pregnant though, and I can't wait to meet my little girl in February!

True Underdog Story


So in the youth program the have a shield up for grabs at every competition there is. For example, kart racing, boat sailing, etc. For my boys all of this was to much effort and time so we would always get smoked or not have anything at all. (this was previous to me being in the calling). So a challenge came up i was sure we were going to win cos of our Polynesian influence it was Volleyball. Comes to the day and all our stars are pulling out left right and center. I discussed with my councilor weather we still have it or attend. We decide to ring around as many boys as we can and get 5 together. Now these 5 are not the athletic type but if all else failed we still go a feed lol. So to start off the day we win our first 2 and like many things pride comes before the fall, because we loose our next 6 lol. There is always rival wards and ours is takapuna. In the round Robbins they beat us twice and in the last game we didn't even score a point. So they call it a day and get into the championship rounds. So we are in the bottom championship, but a championship nonetheless and who is in it none else but takapuna, and high biscus ward. To its taka vs high biscus taka smashes them 2-0 (best out of 3). We were up now we had a tactic we put our best two servers next to each other because if they didn't win us the game it was all over. So the first game we got smoked and the boys spirits were down. But our tactic worked in the second game and we came back from 6-1 down to win 6-8. The buzzer went and breakfast was ready. i go to the boys do you want a draw or you want to go away champions. They all agreed to play on. Taka was up 5-1 and our 2nd best server won us a point then lost us a point so it was 6-2 with no good servers left so we thought. The out of nowhere comes Fredricko who did these serves that were like sky rockets Taka had no reply and the come back began 6-3 6-4 6-5 6-6 6-7 this was turning into the come back from narrm. This was match point Fredricko serves another sky rocket taka hits it once hits it twice and on the 3rd hit butches it and the crowd went wild Aeroview had done it they made the comeback and were champions. Man i was loving it i was going around giving high fives to everyone the boys were parting like it was 1999. Taka went of all bummed and we were champs. It had to be one of the most successful times in the young mens program and one i will never forget. I was so proud of them and they did our youth proud.

1st Anniversary


Once we realized that out wedding anniversary was on a Sunday we decided that we needed to do something on the Saturday. The only problem is that we were moving Saturday, but we made some time to go out and enjoy ourselves. We went to lone star and I'm not a fan of expensive restaurants but heyyy it was our anniversary. Boy was it good, the meals were massive and filling. It was a good choice, shot jessie. Then we went to movenpick and there had some ice cream. There is something special about the place its at mission bay, where we had out first date and were i proposed. We revisited the chair we had out first date on and the area we got engaged and it was really nice. There was no stress and it was nice to be around jessie. The first year has been great we have been heavily blessed from the lord, which jessie being pregnant and us both having jobs. Im lucky to have jessie and look forward to the years to come.

Forest Gump

So in the movie Forest Gumps shoes are wasted and he said you can tell a lot by a person from there shoes so hear goes. So i have had these shoes for 8 years and Jessie said i have to throw them out so I'm going to blog about them. I got these in my last year of school which was 2001 from a Nike factory for $110. I was pretty stoked at the time, and they have lasted and i think they still have a few more years left. They lasted on the mission and sports and everything really, they gave me the mean toe jams too but don't now (shifty eyes). But the time has come where they really need to go. Apparently i need to blog about all my sentimental cloths so they can be biffed too lol
