It's been forever since I've posted an update on me and the fam ...
But I couldn't miss a chance to share the celebration. I can't hardly believe that I'm so OLD! I spent an eventful day in a windstorm in Moab ... quite a birthday!
I'm having a sleepover at Lani's today, then heading to Park City for the weekend with the girls. Should be LOTS of fun ...
I'll post more later ...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thought I'd better share the evidence that the Kendrick family survived an adventurous trip to Gardner Village for a group photo ... too bad there's no way to experience all of the off-camera moments that went into this! We had alot of fun and then went to Ted & Tami's for a delicious Thanksgiving meal. What fun!

Work Trip to Hawaii???!!!
Who would have guessed that anyone would send me to Hawaii ... for work?! How lucky am I? I spent the last week (10/26-11/1) in Honolulu for a psychiatry conference. Anyone who would spend a week indoors in Hawaii needs psychiatric services!
I wanted to share a few highlights from the trip:
Nikki & I arrived on Monday morning. We went straight to the hotel, got checked in, had lunch at a local burger place (Waikiki Cheeseburger with grilled pineapple & fresh avocado!) then went for a drive to the North Shore to explore. We drove to the Laie temple (closed for renovations) and took lots of pictures of the beautiful landscape.
Tuesday, we had to do a bit of work ... just getting registered for the conference and a quick trip to Kinkos. The rest of the day was spent at the beach. For the afternoon and evening, we went back to the North Shore to see the sights at the PCC. We spent several hours wandering around the villages, then attended a luau and the evening show. The show was incredible ... worth the cost of the ticket, just for that!
Wednesday was a real work day ... we had to man the exhibit booth from 9 am to 3 pm. I spent most of the day running around looking for our boxes and recreating some materials, only to have the boxes arrive at 2 pm. Oh, well!
Thursday: after a few hours of work in the a.m., we decided to head to Haunama Bay for some of the best snorkeling in the world. We were in the water by 1 pm and snorkeled for about 4 hours. The highlight was definitely seeing the giant sea turtles. Turns out, Nikki's kind of a "turtle whisperer" like I am the "eagle whisperer". She just kept spotting them ... we swam right along side of four different turtles!
Friday: we had to work all day, but wrapped up the booth quickly so we could get to Shark's Cove on the North Shore to snorkel in a secluded little spot. We spent several hours in the water, finally deciding to get out of the water when it started to get dark. (A little scary to be swimming in shark waters after dark ...)
Saturday: got up early and went to the super-swap at the Aloha Bowl. For sure, the most "crap for cheap" that I've ever seen in one place! We spent several hours looking and buying, then went back to the hotel for several hours by the pool. At 3 pm, we packed the car and headed north (again!) to see what the wind had blown in ... all week long we'd been hearing about the tradewinds and the HUGE waves that would be coming with them. They weren't kidding! We watched the surfers out in the ocean, tackling 10-20 foot waves. You can't imagine the sound of that size of wave when it crashes ... kinda like thunder and a mini-quake! INTENSE! We stopped for a quick visit at Turtle Bay to see one of the local old-timer turtles, named Brutus, then headed back to Honolulu. We had a delicious Italian dinner before catching the red-eye flight home.
What a trip!
Here's some fun photos --

Not quite the same shot as the last time I was in Hawaii on the beach ... I tried to clean up my act! (Sorry for the cleavage!)

HIGHLITES from our trip to Boise!
We had a great time over the Labor Day holiday. We went, intending to spend a long weekend with Kris & Beau. Those plans changed when Beau got called out on a fire early on Saturday morning. (Which is why he's absent from all the pics.)A short travel log: we went out to dinner and walked around downtown on Friday night, then went to the Farmer's Market on Saturday, swam in the river and the reservoir on Sunday, played Guitar Hero late into the night, and drove home late in the day on Monday. Lots of fun details are missing for now, for the sake of finally getting some updates on our lives on the BLOG! Here's some pics you'll enjoy:
Rylee riding the BRONCO! (Maybe she'll be a future Bronco?)
The fam out in front of the school ...Kris and Willis at Lucky Peak:
Rory's favorite part of the trip ... HUGS from Willis!
Swimming in the Boise River ...
Rylee's crazy face ... I think it's happiness for the deliciousness at Shige's?!
Kris and the kids at the Farmer's Market:
We had a great time. Wish we could have stayed longer. Can't wait for another trip to Boise ...
