The Shueys: ALOHA!

ALOHA!

So alot has happened in the last week. We are finally here in Maui and I have a few moments to catch up our dedicated fans. My mom has made note that she has checked our blog everyday and still hasn't seen any updates so mom....here ya go. We got to the airport last Tuesday and awaited our flight from LAX to San Fran. We were supposed to do a touch and go but the other flight ended up getting delayed so we were there for about an hour and a half. Kids were great. Then the LONG flight to Maui. Kole slept the first 3 hours of the 5 hour flight, Maxx slept the first 2 hours of the flight and my wonderful daughter slept the LAST 20 minutes of the flight! Just like her mama....she might miss something! She was so confused when we landed that she wanted to get back on the plane because she thought we were in CHINA instead of "The Maui" as she has named it. Everything went smoothly until we realized that they lost my bag and I didn't get it until 6:00 the next evening.

Any who, we have had the most amazing trip. The kids adjusted super well and the first thing that we did was take them down to the pool. The kids pool has a water slide and within an hour Kady was climbing the stairs to the top all by herself and we caught her at the bottom. Kole tried it but it went entirely "too fast" for him. He was just fine in his inflatable tube and cruising the pool.

We have had some of the most amazing food here (I mean.....gotta post about food right!) Lets talk about the sushi!!! FREAKIN AMAZING!!!! Wade has it all planned for us to move here....he is even trying to stop in to the local architects office to see what kind of stuff they are doing! Ok, so I am going to throw in some pictures real quick for your viewing pleasure!

*DISCLOSURE**** Please prepare yourself...the following pictures are so wonderful it may send an uncontrollable urge in your direction to steal my children!

Kole is our first born! (well at least a whole 2 minutes before his sister!) Kole was born 5 1/2 weeks early and had a little bit of a rough start. He was in the NICU for a couple days after birth (his lungs weren't quite ready for the world) and after coming home he developed RSV at 2 weeks old and was taken back to the hospital for a 5 day stay. Boy oh boy you would never know it now! He will be 3 on March 5th and is a big strong boy. He loves firetrucks and helicopters. He isn't big on change and likes his things just so! If you ask him who his best friend is he will reply "My Daddy"! His favorite time of day is about 5pm as that is when he stands at the door and waits for "His Daddy" to come home. He loves to ride on the quads, "vrooms" as he calls them and loves to help Wade or my brother fix anything. It takes him a little while to warm up but once he does watch out....you will have a sidekick with you the rest of the day!

Our precious little girl! Kady is our only little girl (and if you have met her you understand why I say it like that!) She was definately meant to be the only little girl in this family. She has her daddy wrapped up tight around her finger and that is exactly where he is happy to be! She is very outgoing. Loves to ask people questions who they are where they are going, if they want to come over and play! She is the leader of the pack. She was potty trained before she was two, has had her own room and a big girl bed for the last few months and loves having her own space. She is definately a tomboy at heart! Although she loves wearing dresses and bows, carrying purses and wearing high heeled shoes...she is the one that I find in the backyard digging in the dirt for dinasaur bones, trying to catch lizards and watching the bugs crawl! She is amazing!

Our newest addition Maxx Rene'! Maxx decided that he was going to join our family a bit early! After going into labor at 35 weeks (5 weeks early if you are unfamiliar with pregnancy terms!) the Dr.'s were unsuccessful at stopping it so after monitoring me in the hospital for 12 hours they decided to do a repeat c-section. (It was the plan from the beginning just not that early). Well, delivery was fine but the little guy was definately not ready to be here. He had an initial cry but soon encountered problems breathing. He was immediately taken to the NICU and was intubated and was given a PICC line on IV's and everything. However....after the LONGEST 11 days I have every experienced in my life Maxx came home to join our chaotic family. It is just wonderful having him here!
