More pictures just for fun.

Okay, so this picture is a bit unrelated, but here is a picture of my family on Memorial Day this year by my cousin Cheyenne's grave. It is a special time every year that we get to go visit family's gravesites and remember and tell fun stories about them. This is a smewhat random picture, but I was noticing how huge my belly was in this picture - this was taken on my due date, but little did I know that she wasn't to be born until two weeks later. I remember feeling so huge and uncomfortable, but looking back, I look at that and I think to myself, How could she possibly fit in there? Especially looking at her now...all fifteen pounds of her? Wow. Next time I won't complain. The fact that she was in there is amazing!
The paparazzi sneakily shot this picture of us walking out to Shark's Cove. Not the greatest or most exciting picture, but I like it because we are heading out to do our favorite thing...snorkeling. I had only done really mild stuff before, but this was hard core! Not really, but it was still so much fun. We saw huge fish that just swam right up to us, and lots of other cool stuff. It's amazing that there's this whole other colorful world in the ocean. This place was the best snorkeling on the island...and not a very touristy place, which was nice. My mom watched Reagan for a couple of hours and we took advantage of it! I will admit...I was a little freaked out at first, but only because I heard this dad with his kids a little ways ahead of us saying "Oh, that's scary," or, "Hurry, swim away from that," or the worst: "Look! It's a SEA SPIDER." Having a definite fear of spiders, this one was the worst. But, I eventually talked myself into it. If I was going to die, at least it would be in paradise.

Here is little Penny the Pirate in her swimsuit. She's bootylicious. I tried dipping her feet in the water a few times, and she did not enjoy it. She really needs to lighten up.

Tiana, Reagan, and me matching. Well, not really me, but I always want to be in every picture apparently...

It looks like you guys had a blast in Hawaii. I also went once to drop Lesha off for school (little did I know she would be changing her mind and come back with me). I had a blast there. Penny is so cute, what a doll!! I love to see all the new pictures of her.

Just wait til I post my 28 week pictures this week. I have gotten rather large and while I try to exercise everyday, it has gotten to the point where it is just a bike ride on Saturdays.... last month I gained 8 lbs in one month!!!! I am predicting I will be HUGE if before she comes out if this continues!! Oh well, it's worth it in the end... right???
