A Kauai Christmas


Well because my life isn't interesting in the least bit, I decided I'd post some photos of our trip to Kauai over Christmas, cause that was interesting! We had a wonderful time with Tysons family, they are wonderful people! I'll post a few pics of our favorite times!

This is at Spouting Horn, it was pretty awesome to watch the water being forced into a lava tube, and be shot up in the air up to 50 feet. This one clearly isn't 50 feet, but its still beautiful none the less.

This is Ty and I before we left for our date night. (one out of the two times we got ready in Hawaii!)

This is of the Na Pali Coast, truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen

Here is a pic of one of the many pods of dolphins that were swimming along side our boat for awhile. For those of you who don't know, I love dolphins, I used to want to be a Marine Biologist just so I could work with them, clearly that didn't work out. So now my dream is to swim with the dolphins, one day I know that'll come true!

Here we are on the beach, for the first time in my 26 years of life, I almost felt comfortable in a bathing suit! It goes to show that if you work hard to improve your self-image and body, many blessings come, like wearing a bikini and not totally looking like a beached whale!!

Christmas Eve at our beautiful dinner at the Princeville Hotel.

This is a picture of the beautiful pearl ring Ty bought me for Christmas, although we agreed that going to Kauai and all the activities we did there was going to be Christmas. He always spoils me and the poor guy gets the short end of the stick, I'll make up for it one day!

Here I am mad that Ty spent that much money on me when we said we weren't going to spend any!!
My beautiful sisters in law Laurel and Vanessa, I always wanted sisters and never got them until I married Ty, I truly am blessed, these two girls are amazing and two of my best friends!
Here are the men doing manly things at Queens Bath.


Ness, Laurel and I learning to Hula at the Luau.

Ty and I cheesing it up Brennan style at the luau.

Brennan and Barrett showing us how to really cheese it up Brennan style. (Brens the one in the red) Quick story about Brennan style, whenever Brennan tells a lie, you ask him after if he's telling a lie and he always says no then makes pretty much that exact face he's making in the pic! Man I love those boys!

Ty and I getting ready to go on our Zip N' Dip. Yes, yes it is true, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were there at the same time we were, not in our same group or else I totally would have pictures to prove it! I acted like the cool person who didn't recognize them, just stalked them through a window whilst I pretended to look at snack foods, OH YEAH! I'm good

Ty and Laurel having a blast during the dip portion of our trip!

Here is the whole gang, minus my beautiful mother in law Jillene who was taking the picture. All in all, it was a wonderful trip, and I have to give a shout out to the big man, Kim, my fabulous father in law for paying the bill for most of the trip! It was indeed one of the best vacations ever, and one of the best Christmases ever!
Now I can't wait for more vacations, I really want to go on one with my family, so I'm really prayin for you Nate to make a cruise ship, not only because you're a fabulous performer, but because its a guaranteed trip and new post! You got this little bro!
