We are Having a BOY!!!

We found out last week that we are having a baby boy!! We are both thrilled. I was nervous because the little guy was hiding the whole time and the lady had to keep shaking my belly to get him to move. Gabe had been saying it was a boy all along but I wasn't sure either way.. I would of loved a girl to dress her up in all the cute little girl things, but I am equally excited that it is a boy. It makes it even more exciting to see Gabe so thrilled. I have been saying that I am going to be the one and not him limiting the baby purchases. If Gabe could have his way everything our little guy wears would be Lakers gear or sports related. We have already picked out his name. Gabe got to chose the name for his first son and of course he chose Kobe. I think it is cute too. His name will be Kobe Oliver Benjamin Eyerly. So if you notice his intials spell his name just like Gabe's ititals spell his name and they will share the middle name Benjamin. 21 weeks down 19 weeks to go hopefully!

Hawaii

The last couple of weeks have been crazy. I was home for about 3 days out of the last 17.. Our first big adventure was Hawaii. Gabe and I flew down there on Sat the 3rd and stayed until thursday evening. It was amazing. Neither of us had ever been and we can't wait to go back either. We stayed in Maui with some friends of ours that use to live in lubbock. We had the best time. We went to the beach, hiked up to waterfalls and enjoyed all the small shopping towns. One day we took a 6 hour boat ride, where we saw dolphins, whales and sea turtles and stopped in two locations to snorkle. Snorkling was one of my favorite things we did. We also drove up to the top of the tallest mountain on Maui and watched the sunset. Here are a few pictures...I am still waiting on our underwater pictures so we will see how those turned out. It was such a beautiful place!
