What's up everybody? Not much here, just still enjoying Hawaii. It's been nice because since about August we've had visitors just about every month. My sister Sarah and her family came in August, my mom came in September and my sister Shannon and her family came out in October for the Boise State game. It was pretty funny, the other day we were talking about cool people being doctors and stuff and Shannon said "can you believe Taylor Swift is a Doctor?" After laughing for about two days, I told her I think you're meaning Taylor Seare my dear:) I was so disappointed I couldn't make it to NYC for the World Series, I found a sweet deal on airfare, it was the game ticket that was a killer. One of these days we will all half to meet up half way, I think a good half way point would be California. But if you have already come that far, you might as well just come all the way to Hawaii. I'm still expecting to see Noah and Taylor here this upcoming spring to celebrate their upcoming achievements. I think both of them are just scared to come out because I might beat them in golf, cereal eating contest, pancake eating contest, I could go on and on. Noah, you and I still need to have an ice cream eating contest. Hopefully you don't try and cheat kinda like Ryan Allen did in the cereal eating contest. My grandma eats her grape nuts quicker than Ryan ate his Honey Bunches of Oats. Well hope all is well and hope to see everybody soon. You guys are always welcome!

Aloha from Hawaii!

What's up everybody? Nothing much here, same as always: school, work, beach, blah, blah, blah. My sister Sarah just came to visit with her family and my mom will be here on the 29th! I just found out that my sister Shannon and her family are coming out for the Boise State vs UH game the end of Oct. All these visitors but none of them are SLACKERS from NYC. Hope all is well.

This hog gets 100 mpg.....no really!

Since Christy complained that we didn't post any pics from when they came, here ya go. It was pretty weird to try and get in the Christmas spirit drinking hot cocoa and bein sun burnt like crazy!

There's trouble...Me and my new brown haired woman!

The Aldrich girls

Little nervous giving Kyler and Ashlynn a sparkler

There's my new ride!! Sorry Ian, a Vespa requires a motorcycle permit!

Hello everybody, we sure missed everybody this last weekend while we were moving and cleaning out our old place:) It was about the same being here and moving and being there and moving, there was no Josh Griffeth!!! SUCKA!!! We love our new house, much more room, no more traffic, plus I get to ride the silver bullet to work everyday! Now when you guys come to visit, we will have plenty of room! Hope to see everybody soon.

Aloha from the Big Island.....

Coming off the plane on the Big Island

We just got back from probably our first ever Aldrich 5 family vacation ever. For my birthday/father's day, we took a three day trip to the Big Island. It was pretty exciting to see the volcano, the black sand beaches and the resort we stayed at was amazing. It was pretty rough having to leave Hawaii and come home to Hawaii:) Next stop Maui!!!!!

Some more pics and videos......

No that is not David Beckam!

Shanny and I on a rare date night

I found out that soccer is not really my thing, just when I thought my legs couldn't look any shorter or thicker, I saw them with shin guards on!

It's a rough life but somebody's got to do it......

The kids just hangin around!

Look at the surfer chick!

Our favorite place in the whole world, the North Shore

Ashy just being Ashy!




Hello everybody, it has been awhile since we have posted anything. My Mom and sister Sarah just came out recently but it was kind of sad when they left because now we have no visitors to look forward to. Not much going on here, just the same old, same old. Beach, work, kids and I just started graduate school, I think I am a lifetime learner:) We hear from Christy that everybody there is prego, there's not much else to do during economic times like these! Well hope all is well and we hope to see any of you guys soon!

Shanny's women's 10k!!!

Shanny completed her first big race today! It was a 10k that went up and into Diamondhead then back down to Waikiki. She did it with her friends Lisa and Lindsay, they seemed to have a lot of fun. This last week the Coast Guard Dr. finally found me fit for full duty so it looks like I will have a job and we'll be living in Hawaii for the next three years!!! Then who knows after that?? The next event on the Aldrich family calender will be next Saturday's Hale Koa Biathlon, it's a 5k run and a 1k swim, should be lots of fun. In April, Shanny and I might attempt to do a 10k together with me pushing a two kid jogging stroller and her pushing the single kid jogging stroller but we'll see if we are that brave. Noah, just to let you and Ryan know that since the Nets game, I am still working on my lats like crazy! Hopefully one day they will measure up. Talk to everybody later.

Lots goin on with the Aldrich fam!!!!......

Shamu swam, biked and ran then finally 1 hr. and 35 mins. later finished my first Triathlon!!!!! IIt was a sprint distance which is a 500 meter swim, 13 mile bike and 3.5 mile run. It was pretty fun, I couldn't have done it with out my cheer squad (Shanny, Kaleb, Kyler and Ashlynn)!!!! We also just celebrated Kyler's 4 year birthday. Kaleb just lost his first tooth (talk about feeling old!!!). Ashy is just being Ashy, she is for sure the boss of the house:) Well, we miss everybody lots and hope all is well!
