Big Boy Bed

This is the way Everett's room has looked for the last 3 and a half years. Yes, my 3 and a half year old was still sleeping in a crib! He has always done so well at bedtime and I have been really hesitant to change anything in his routine. But I know that he can't be in a crib forever.

So today we took apart his crib and put away all of his surfer pictures....

...and put together his big boy bed! We spent most of the day today rearranging furniture and putting together Everett's new room. He has been so excited about his new "tractor bed."

His room turned out really cute and I am loving the bright colors!



I just hope that his room isn't too fun, and he decides to play instead of sleep! This is the only decoration left over from his nursery and we decided not to take it down. What a lucky little boy!

Hawaii

Last month Jeremy and I took the boys to Oahu for 10 days. It was such a great trip! We got to visit with one of my closest friends Kiana who lives in Oahu. It was so great to hang out with her and her family. I haven't seen her in about 2 years, so we had a lot of catching up to do. Jeremy also ran in the Honolulu marathon while we were there. He did very well finishing even quicker than we thought. We did quite a few activities while we were there, but mostly we just hung out on the beach with the boys!

The plane ride was an adventure in itself, but the boys did pretty well.


Everett loved this boat ride that we took. We even made it out to pearl harbor one day.


This is the lagoon that was right outside of the condo we rented. We played here almost everyday.






The condo we rented was in Waikiki and ended up being even better than expected! Besides having this lagoon just steps away, everything was within walking distance. I hope we can stay here again one day.



Hope to see you soon Hawaii!
