Family Reunion

So, I'm supposed to be packing right now, since we're moving this weekend. But, I decided I deserve a little break since I just got 3 whole boxes packed. This is a little out of date, but I wanted to post some pictures from our family reunion. This year Paul and I were in charge and we had it up in Island Park, ID. I was very stressed about it, but it ended up turning out really well. We spent one afternoon at Yellowstone and the rest of the time playing games and just hanging out at our cabin. Lauryn had so much fun and still asks to see her cousins. Here are some pictures. I can't get the captions to go by the pictures, so I'm just going to describe them below.



1. Smores around the campfire.
2. Cousins waiting for Old Faithful.
3. Paul and I at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone.
4. Getting steamed by one of the Geysers. It was like a rotten egg sauna.
5. I can't remember what this was called, but it was so cool. It was crystal blue and you couldn't even see how deep it went.
6. Family pic at Mesa Falls.
7. Group cousin pic at the cabin.
8. Kids taking a dip at a creek in Yellowstone. Lauryn threw a MAJOR fit when we made her get out.
9. Lauryn, Ainslee, and Logan: cute little cousins.
10. Making giant bubbles with the cool bubble wands Grandma got for everyone (one of Lauryn's favorite parts of the weekend).

Where we've been

So, you may all be wondering where the Pahulu family has been for the last month and a half. Well, let me briefly tell you why we haven't been blogging.

1. Our internet went down. Actually, it got cut off because the owners of our apartment messed something up. So, finally today we took matters into our own hands and got our own service. I am so happy to be online again. This is so sad, but I have barely been able to function without it.

2. We have been super busy! We had a family reunion that we were in charge of and that we had to plan and organize without the internet! It went really well though and I will post some pictures later.

3. The most exciting reason: I'm pregnant!! I'm almost 11 weeks along, due March 10. I have been feeling SO sick. I don't know if it was because I worked full time during Lauryn's pregnancy, but I don't remember being this nauseous. Hopefully I'll feel better after the 1st trimester is done.

Anyways, hopefully some people still check this thing. I promise there will be more regular posting from now on!
