Professional Prego Pictures!

I love each and every one of these pictures! It will help me remember and cherish this special time of helping to bring another one of Heavenly Father's spirits into this life! We are so excited and anxiously await his arrival!

La'akea was not in the mood to take these pictures...

Neither was Makaio...

But I think they still looked pretty cute taking these pictures.

Kamalei was even more adorable kissing my belly! So sweet yeah!

He was too cute hugging it too!

I am pretty huge! Can you believe my due date is not for another 3 weeks!

Wish I did a manicure before we took these!

She is so creative!

I love black and white photos!

My friend Alicia States, who is a freelance photographer in Utah, was home for a month. I decided to ask her to take a few pregnancy photos since this may be my last pregnancy! I love the pictures of me and my boys! I thought they turned out great for such a last minute thing. And as miserable as I feel being so huge...I actually think I still have that pregnancy glow about me! Doesn't look as bad as I feel! Enjoy!

Prego pictures with my boys!

I guess I should be happy that at least everyone's eyes are looking at the camera?!

It looks so painful for these boys to crack a smile...guess no ones in the mood for pictures today!

It is so hard to get these 3 boys to all smile at the same time! At this point, I think daddy's patience was running thin! Did we get at least ONE good shot?

Too bad this one is back lit! Its one of my favorites because the boys all look so candid and cute!

I definitely needed help getting off the ground after this shot!

I wanted to get a few pictures of my baby bump and my 3 sons before the new little one arrives. Tomorrow I make 37 weeks so he could come at any time! Here are some fun shots that daddy took today!

The Finishing Touches on our New Home!

More caulking between the shelves and trim and base boards need to be done before the final coat of paint can be done in each room so there is still a lot of work to be done. The granite counter tops should be delivered on Monday the 26th of April, so my contractor can start installing them in the kitchen, on the wet bar, and the bathrooms, and then I think we will be left with finishing up the flooring throughout the entire house! I can't wait until it is done and I can move my whole family in and get settled! Did I already say this is so exciting!

These river rock stone make up the custom made walk-in shower floors in our master bathroom. Our contractor has been so creative in the design of it all. Amazing!

Beige Travertine tiles make up the walls of our walk-in master bathroom shower.

The upstairs family room and laundry room will be this serene sage green color. This is a picture of where the wet bar will be.

The other 4 bedrooms will be the same neutral beige color as the bathrooms.

Matt's office and the entire downstairs kitchen, dining and family room will be bright yellow! My happy color!

The first coat of paint in all the bathrooms! A pretty neutral color.

Our contractor custom made our beautiful front door!

Do you think we have enough cabinet space in our kitchen!

Cabinets in the kitchen are being installed!

Yesterday we had to meet with our contractor to go over some things at the new house. As they do the finishing touches on the interior, its beginning to get very exciting!

Another Blessing of Bed Rest!

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream for Breakfast! Delicious!

Since I am unable to go to work. One of the major blessings of being on bed rest is sleeping in and spending some quality time with Kamalei before the new baby comes! This is what I woke up to at 8am yesterday morning, April 22nd...he helped himself to the ice cream in the freezer all by himself!

The Blessings of Bed Rest

As of April 12th, I have been on bed rest. This baby wanted to come a little too early and the doctors said he need to "cook" for at least 2 more weeks! (Kind of like when I was pregnant with Makaio.) This is the busiest time at work for me AND one of the more busy times at home because we need to prepare and pack to move into our "new home" that will hopefully be ready mid-May. Everything for me has come to a screeching halt because Matt is still in the middle of his volleyball season and I am physically unable to do anything being on bed rest. It has been stressful but we have been on the receiving end of many blessings because of this...I have had family and friends that have helped us in so many ways with dinners, watching my boys, cleaning, laundry, packing, etc. in the last week and a half that I am very grateful for. But the biggest blessing, as you can see in the picture above, it the opportunity to spend time with all of you despite these circumstances. Thank you for everything...my heart is full of gratitude!

What happened to March!

All of these pictures were taken on April 13th and it took me this long to upload them all!

Some kind of GRAY cement boards that lay over the red and black liners in the master shower. Looks pretty heavy duty to me!

Something RED on the shower floor lining...

Three layers of stuff...(no idea what it's called) were placed in the Master walk-in shower to prevent leakage in case the tile cracks! Something Black...

We let our contractor choose the tiles for the bathrooms and I love it!

The tile for the boys bathroom shower are almost done and they are currently working on grouting it.

A counter with a door to the laundry shoot and shelves have been made for the boys bathroom so mama doesn't have to carry the laundry down the stairs!

Custom shelves were built for Matt's office closet!

Rods were placed in all the other bedroom closets!

Shelves were built in the walk-in closet.

The banister has been installed in the stairwell.

Here is La'a's and Makaio's bedroom closet and doors. With the white trim around the closet and windows.

So it's April 23rd and time has just flown by! Regarding the new house, most of the month of March was spent on doing the dry wall. Hanging it, taping it and texturing it. Who new it would take a whole month to do the dry wall...but Willie did an excellent job! It looks really nice. The first 2 weeks of April was spent on putting the the trim around the windows and doors and hanging the doors and shelves in the closets. Take a look!
