Hawaiian Hula

So, it's been a little while since I've updated my blog (what's new). Thought I'd fill you in on the more exciting parts of the past couple of months. We're doing exceptionally well - I'm now 28 weeks along with my pregnancy and no major complications except for the fact that I have a two-vessle umbilical cord instead of a three-vessle. Since everything else from the ultrasound looks great, there is no need to worry I was told.

Steve has had a very busy Holiday season with late night concerts nearly every night. He is traveling quite a bit more due to his YouTube hit with Jon Schmidt. At the end of this month he will be performing in the Phillippines, and last month he flew to Hawaii, and.....I went with him. Who could pass up an opportunity like that?


Yes, it was fabulous! Eight full days without the kiddies. I sure missed them, but I feel a renewed energy as a mother now. Anyway, below are some highlights from the trip. Steve performed at BYU-Hawaii with Jon, and then we spent the next five days on the Big Island.

Whale Watching - saw nearly 50 whales within a two hour period. It was awe-inspiring!

A week of pure relaxation

Our view from the Hapuna Beach Resort where we stayed on the Big Island

7 months prego overlooking the sunset

One of the best parts of the vacation - kayaking to Captain Cook's monument where we had the best snorkeling of our lives!

Visiting the Kona Hawaii Temple. This is actually a very small temple in the middle of a busy Hawaiian town in Kona, but absolutely gorgeous!

Check out the Halema'uma'u Crater. How often to you get to see an active volcano?

Akaka Falls on the Big Island

Performing at BYU-Hawaii with Jon Schmidt - what a fantastic crowd! There's nothing like the fun loving Hawaiian people.
