This is the big picture folks! I have got to say we are one good looking bunch! As I looked around this table while everyone was talking I realized (and it hit me hard) what a great family I have! I am so thankful for a hard working dad and husband, and that I really do have the most amazing brothers and sister! I love them all so much and this was a super fun vacation!
The 4 wheeling ride will forever be remembered! We went on a fantastic ride to see a part of Kauai that you can call paradise. The views are breath taking and have also been featured in many movies. We were trained on how to ride the wheelers and how to stay tucked in if you tipped them. As we were beboppin along the trail which was crazy slick and muddy, Taylor's wheeler broke down and Hailey and Morgan's slid off the ruts and tipped over, no one was hurt luckily and they got to ride in the super duper fast "Weenie Wagon."
There were so many highlights on the trip....Hailey and Dallin almost missed their flight, due to crazy spring rains and high waters, Hailey and Dallin got stuck in a tree while racing Randy and Taylor up the river, where they fell in by a bloated dead pig (this was beyond disgusting for Taylor and Randy who both have some OCD tendencies running thick in their blood), Morgan constantly asked us where his watch was, Jaden had a bad morning, Hailey tipped over her 4wheeler with Morgan on it, and I went home with 2 kidney stones.
This was a little hike we went on! We went to many beaches. Needless to say, this trip did not disappoint, we saw sea turtles, hump back whales, and a dolphin!
This was Randy's first vacation (ever)! I gave him a few pointers, like, one in five airplanes crash, and even if we crashed in the ocean and lived the sharks would get us. He was a trooper with all hustle and bustle of this large family. He was a good sport about everything and spoiled his wife the whole trip. It was better than Christmas to see my husband's expressions and reactions to new things! Love him!
The Houston Crew gave us a warm welcome. Hailey and I could not have asked for better trip. We had such a great time down there with awesome cousins and amazing aunts. I know it made me a little jealous of their families being super close. Everyone had adorable homes and families. It think it was all amazing to see how much everyone has grown up and what cute little families they had. I can't wait to have my hubby meet everyone down there. Thanks for the best food, shopping, and visiting. It is a new favorite and I will for sure be going back!
Randy and I have been super busy with our apartments. We have learned how to tile and have set goals to update our buildings 100 year old flooring an apartment at a time. I often wonder where our time goes but every time I walk into our building I am reminded of the adventures my husband and I have had learning how to do new things. I being a city girl has given me an eye opener about physical labor. My husband is the hardest worker I have ever met and he has given me a better understanding of what it means to do your job at the best of your abilities. He has proved to me numerous times that he is worth more that gold and sometimes our apartment adventures turn out better than our favorite dates!
Morgan and Jaden came and spent a night with us after my grandpas 80th bday party. They were so fun to hang with. Jaden was a true gentleman and Morgan kept us on our toes. We enjoyed a round of mini golf and we went to Iron Man 2.
Easter was a hit with the kids. We had a lot of fun! This is what happens in the country when your kids get matching outfits and their hair done all at the same time and you try to get a pic of it....A tractor goes rolling by and completely ruins all the good efforts taken!
