Mark's Soccer Season

 
Mark just finishd his 2011 soccer season. They had a great year, he was captain of the team, got named all pac west player of the week and scored three goals. His first two goals where on the mainland trip and I was pretty sad I didnt get to see them but his third one is a really cool story (we think they might make a movie out of it one day ;) So anyways it was the last game of the season and senior night, so just all around a special day for Mark. He was playing amazing and all game kept getting very close to scoring. Then with seven seconds left he ran down the field and scored a goal. Everyone went nuts his whole team was running around the field behind him and, this is my favorite part, he ran to the sideline and gave me a big kiss before going to celebrate with the team. This was so special because it was quite literally his last touch on the ball in his soccer career as a player. If you know my husband then you know how passionate he  is about the things that he loves and soccer is one of those things. Mark spent hours upon hours practicing and dreaming and he truly got to live out his dreams this season. Well as you can tell I am one proud wifey so bare with me as you look at all the pictures of my cute husband playing in his last season.


 





This is the cute wives club. We all became really great friends throughout the season and it was fun to have other women around to watch the games with.






Oh and  P.S. a little peice of good news, Mark graduates in April yeah, and he got offered the position of assistant coach to the mens soccer team next season. He also works as head over athletic marketing and got asked to continue that job.  So we will not be saying goodbye to this beautiful island just yet! We are very excited about it, he will be coaching as well as continuing his job as head of athletic marketing as well as teaching an online coaching course, he will be busy but getting tons of great experience. We are looking forward to future and can not wait till April.

Hawaii Christmas

Mark and I had a great christmas break here in Hawaii! We where sad that we didn't get to go home but decided to make the best of it and treat it like a vacation. So we both got a week off of work so we could live it up and do all the fun things we hadn't had a chance to do yet! We kicked it off with a fun day at Pearl Harbor! I have always wanted to go and it did not dissapoint. We loved learning about what happened there. The Arizona Memorial was cool to see, we could still see the oil in the water. After Pearl Harbor we spent the night in Waikiki hot tubing and having a blast! Mark surfed pipeline for the first time. He was so excited to be surfing on these big waves, and it quickly became his new favorite surf spot. He made me a little nervous dropping in on 5 foot waves, but I am proud of him for being so passionate about surfing, and for picking it up so quickly1! We had dinner at our favorite restaurant Kahuku Grill.  We did a beautiful hike ...

Family Pics

Over the summer Marks family got family pictures taken. I wasn't super pumped about it at first  because I was 32 weeks pregnant but they actually turned out really cute. She also did a few maternity shots  of Mark and I.  I was not to sure about them at first but they turned out really cute.  Now for a pregnancy update I am 37 weeks pregnant today I have  a doctors appointment tomorrow and I am hoping I have started to progress in the right direction to get this baby out of me. Now for a life update this last weekend was a crazy one in the Davis household. First, Mark had his first game as a college coach, he was very nervous but they came out on top so he got his first win. Second, Mark got a call from the stake president of the Single stake here in Laie last week and was asked if we could meet with him. He asked him to serve as the second counselor in the bishopric. He was very humbled by this we did not exp...

Daxton's Birth

So it is decided I am officially the worlds worst blogger my baby is already almost four months old so I guess that means it is time to put on some updates about him. So I will start with his birth Dax was born after 33 hours of labor and 3 and a half long hours of pushing. They had to use the vacuum on him twice so he came out with quite the cone head. His heart rate also dropped way down so they had to immediately rush him away and resuscitate him. That part was pretty scary I didn't hear him cry for about five minutes. He was a little fighter though and came around pretty quickly. I got to hold him for a couple of minutes before they took him away to the nursery to monitor him. But he did really good Mark got to give him his first bath and I got to go see him in the nursery after I got all cleaned up and nurse him. He did great and took right to it, which I'm so happy about because they had to give him a bottle and a binky before I could nurse him. He spent his first n...
