Snorkeling Hastings'!

To explain why these pictures aren't fantabulous...we didn't bring a computer, so all postings are done via email while in Hawaii, and the only way for us to do so is on the iPhone. This requires the picture to be taken with the iPhone. So the great pictures that we took while snorkeling this morning cannot be posted to my dismay, but they are coming, rest assured! However unfortunate, we had an amazing time snorkeling and sight seeing. We saw sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and flying fish. We also saw the phenomenal Napali Coast that is only accessable by boat or helicopter. No worries folks, we have plenty of pictures and even some short dolphin videos to come when we get back stateside. We miss everyone, but this vacation has been outstanding this far! More to come, so stay tuned!

Our Hotel

Sorry for the delay on a blog, but frankly I've been too busy sittin' on the beach drinkin mai tais. But, here is the first of many pictures from Kauai. We were walking back from getting an "Hawaiian Ice" across the street and I took this picture from the courtyard at our hotel. Yes, that is the ocean in the background. We can't swim off the beach at our hotel unfortunately, because the undertow is severe. But, we are very much enjoying our time here. But, stay tuned for more to come from various parts of Kauai, Hawaii!

Peepers

As Matt and I were preparing our yard to be neglected for 2 weeks, I heard a small peeping noise coming from above...This is what I found. Luckily, I was able to get a picture of it before the swarm of hornets attacked me. He's pretty cute if you ask me...I think I'll call him...Peepers.

I LOVE KAUAI!!!!!!!


Low and behold, our home for the next two weeks. Yes, 2 count 'em, 2 glorious weeks. Now don't be too jealous. There will definitely be more pictures to come, only taken from my camera, not just some stranger at a website! So, you can live vicariously through me...it'll be great, you'll see. Check back for more from Kauai!

Jessi's New Do (a la Reno)

BEFOREFor Jessi's 22nd Birthday, I got her a makeover...I think its fairly obvious from her face that she loves her new look. Its almost as if it gives her an extra boost of confidence. And rightfully so!
AFTER!!!!!
Oh, and she donated all that lovely hair to "locks of love." Which hits close to home, with our mom being a breast cancer survivor...GO MOM!

Theresa's New Do!

I went to the hairdresser to get a perm, and at the last minute I decided just to chop it all off. I believe she took about 7 inches. Unlike my sister above, they wouldn't accept my hair for locks of love...something about a horrible box coloring job destroying my hair beyond donation quality. A word to the wise, stay away from the box, while easy, it destroys your hair, unless you live in a sub-tropical region. However, I live in RENO...High Desert and all...very dry...box color very bad...but I digress. I do love my hair...
