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......

2009-05-29T22:49:00.000-07:00

The kids just hangin around!

Look at the surfer chick!

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!!!

2009-03-01T22:31:00.000-08:00

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!!!!......

2009-02-21T18:09:00.000-08:00

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!

More pics from the Griff's visit.......

2008-10-16T19:13:00.000-07:00

I still don't know why my back hurts.........:)By far the worst wipeout so far, walked away with a bleeding foot and leg (which made Aubry not want to get in the water anymore because of sharks:) LOL! Plus a broken fin on my surfboard.

Well, it's a sad day......

2008-10-13T00:31:00.000-07:00

Look at the nerds that were sitting behind us on the train at the Dole Factory!

Well, the Griffeths have come and gone. We have had so much fun with them and were so glad that they got to come visit us in paradise. At one point it almost felt as if we were all out here on vacation together and were suppose to return home to NYC together also. I do have to say that Aubry got the 1st place trophy in surfing, Shanny with the Silver medal and Josh with the bronze:) Josh seemed to come in last in almost everything he did in Hawaii. (golf, surfing, etc.) Thanks for the King-Size candy bar, fountain soda and bucket of Diet Pepsi, I think you still owe me $1.60!!!!!!! Maybe next time! We sure do miss you guys and can't wait to see you again!!! If you ever want to quit your job, you always have a place to stay. We'll be posting more once our ghetto computer and camera will work with us. Muchos Maholos D.B.'s

TWO MORE WEEKS for the Griffeths!!!

Brokeback Mountain meets the NHL! As you can tell by the red face, I'm a little out of shape:) My little Tomboy!! She's a BOISE STATE FAN!!!!

Hello everybody, sorry we haven't posted for awhile but things have been a little crazy lately. Since posting last Shanny has gotten a part time job working the front desk at Regis Hair Salon. It's pretty nice because it gives her a little break but it's a big change because we are so use to having lots of time together. Call me MR. MOM! Who would have thought that after living in ID, UT and the North East that I would learn to play ice hockey in HI. We are getting so excited for the Griffeths to come. I just found out that they will be medically discharging me so we'll probably only be here for another 6-8 months or so. Even though we have only be here about two months, we have all fallen in love with it here. It's just to bad that it is so expensive out here. If there is any way that we can find a way to afford to stay, we probably will but I more than likely see us moving back to the great Gem State! Well I hope all is well with everybody and we sure do miss you all. Hope to hear from you soon.

This just in...........

2008-08-11T20:12:00.001-07:00

The Griffeth's have scooped in and taken first place right out of the hands of Christy and Ian in the race to win the sacred title of the "ALDRICH's BEST BUDS"!!!! At 5:30 a.m. Hawaiian Standard time, Aubry called and notified Shannon that they will be coming to visit us in OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thus meaning that they will have a full two month head start on Christy and Ian's December trip! This putting Christy and Ian in a far behind second place and as we all know from when "No Fear" shirts were cool, Second place is the first LOSER!!!! Well folks, that is it for today, the bronze medal is still up for grabs. Thank you and good night!!!

New @ Sea World, the SURFING WHALE!

2008-08-06T18:20:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's true, in Hawaii, even whales surf! Kaleb had his first day of school on Tuesday, despite being 1 of 2 white kids in the class, he did really good. For those of you who have not seen Susie and Taylor's blog lately probably haven't seen that Susie just completed a race. Shannon and I were one of the lucky ones who got to watch Susie race. Susie did really good, we were able to take a picture of her right as she crossed the finishline. You can tell how excited she is by the look on her face. I just want to say #18, you're my idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's no South Beach but........

2008-07-29T22:48:00.000-07:00

We went to the beach today, as we'll probably do pretty often:) I do have to say that without the tampons and trash, Christy and Shannon reading their magazines while Ian and I chase the kids around, the beach just isn't the same. Ian and Christy took the lead in the BEST BUD category, they booked tickets and will be visiting in December! Can't wait!! I started work on Monday, I do have to say, I think I'm allergic to work:) Hope all is well and there is still time to place second in the BEST BUD category!

We have finally arrived!!!!!

2008-07-18T21:57:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody, we have finally arrived in paradise. We have been here for a week and love it so far (minus my speeding ticket-SH*$!!!!) We just found a nice townhome that we will be moving into on the 23rd of this month. Of course the pictures have the owners stuff in it, I don't want all of you to say that I"m wishy-washy and bought all new stuff! After watching the MLB All-Star game and seeing NY, it made both of us a little home sick. We'll keep you updated but we miss everybody lots!
