We are Daniel and Sara. We met October of 2006 and were married August of 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple. Since then we're kind of in the fast lane. We both got the baby bug pretty early on in our marriage and we welcomed our beautiful baby boy Dmitri in August 2008! We couldn't be happier! Daniel is a Captain in the Army and has his Bachelors in Nursing. We're living in HI and so far are enjoying our time here! I'm a stay at home mommy and am looking forward to finishing school. Blah :} Dan enjoys; hunting, basketball, shooting ranges, movies, *sigh - video games and Halloween. Sara enjoys; crocheting, baking, aquariums, sewing, shopping, swimming and trying to get organized. Dmitri enjoys; trying new food, crawling, bath time, stroller rides, electronics and getting into things he shouldn't. It takes all kinds to make up a family - and we cherish and love our little family! :)

Per the request...

of my number one follower -
Candice [my lil sister]
I am updating my blog.

Well we've been out and about
this past week.
My brother in law and sister in law
are visiting us - so we have a life
this week :}

All the festivities started on Wednesday.
We spent the day at the beach,
and it was AWESOME!
I water was perfect!
So we enjoyed some body boarding,
boogie boarding and [Daniel
and Brian] enjoyed some surf boarding!

It was Brian's first time boogie
boarding and surfing - but he
did awesome! So go Brian!

Onto Thursday Daniel had a
training class - so he was MIA until
2:30. So the rest of us went to
breakfast at Denny's - then Costco
and the Outlets [ooo la la!] and
then to the Dole Plantation for
some pineapple ice cream.
SO GOOD!
Well we headed home around 2
tp meet up with Daniel.
We decided to get a little snorkeling
in - and check out the Ko Olina Resort.
Ko Olina is a resort that has a lot
of different Lagoons. And it's
GORGEOUS!
We went to Lagoon 1 [and Tiffany
and I checked out Lagoon 2]
to do our snorkeling.
It's not an ideal spot - or time
of day - because the water was
pretty dark and murky.
But we still saw quite a bit of fish.
Daniel is braver then me and would
dive down for better views. I'm
not so good at clearing my snorkel :\
Anywhos - he spotted a sting ray
hiding in the sand. Of course - he
had to get a closer look - and when he
pointed at it - it freaked out and
swam off really fast - which startled
Daniel - so that was kind of funny :}

Well after a couple hours of snorkeling,
we went out for sushi. Mmm mmm good!
I was totally in the mood for it - so
it hit the spot.

Today we went to my most anticipated
attraction - Sea Life Park!!!
I am totally in to aquariums and all
that jazz - so I was in heaven!
[Oh yea - before that we went to
the Blow Hole - but onto Sea Life Park :]
It was AWESOME! Small - but AWESOME!
They had a couple dolphin shows
that were so fun - and penguins
and sea lions and manta rays, sea
turtles and fish fish fish! And the most
beautiful backdrop - the OCEAN!
How awesome is that?
So Sea Life Park was featured in
50 First Dates - and in the movie
Adam Sandler trains walrus' - but
there were no walrus' at the park.
Boo!
But anywhos - it was good times.
Dmitri was freaked out by the
dolphins in the show at first - but
he warmed up after a bit.
He really enjoyed the viewing tank
though - which was also my fave!
So fun.
Another cool thing about SLP -
they have a Wolphin. It's the only
known Wolphin in existence.
Here's the info on her - with a pic
She's so cute!
Another thing about her - so far
all hybrid species have been sterile.
But she's actually had 3 babies!
The first died after a few days - and
the second at 9 years old.
She had another in 05 that is
alive and well - and also lives
at the park.

So that was today for us.
Brian and Tiffany went to the
Polynesian Cultural Center - and
Daniel, Dmitri and I went for
shaved ice - and other treats.
Today was a total pig out day
for Daniel and I. Blah.

Tomorrow we're going snorkeling
at Hanauma Bay - I'm so excited!
After that I don't think we've
planed yet.
But I'm excited for tomorrow morning.
Dmitri was being funny & gross.
He'd lean over and put his
fingers in Daniel's mouth - then
into his. Like he was looking for
food in Daniel's mouth. Lol weirdo!
And this was after lunch - so he ate.
Gorgeous Sea Turtles!
Checkin' things out
The coolest thing we found
at the Outlets
A rare moment. Dmitri doesn't
usually do this
More photos from today


K - so we've taken my parents
and Steve and Lorraine to this
blow hole.
Both times the blow hole was
not really blowing.
So here's proof that it blows!
:)

And it blew a lot more
then was on the video.
The water got SO high!
And it was really windy - so all
the noise is wind.
