over the rainbow

Note: You should probably play some Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole to read this post. I promise it will enhance the experience :-).

We took the little dude on his first vacation to Kauai Hawaii the beginning part of June for freeeeee, thanks to the extreme generosity of Scott's mom and step dad!! Thanks Mark and Martie!! It was a whole family vacation with the Steele siblings and parents and it was so much fun!! 

I have to say I'm a huge fan of getting to hang out with my hubs and baby for 24 hours a day for a whole week!! I was not a huge fan of being the XL with all the XS women though! I know I just had a baby and really I'm not that self conscious about myself (at least I'm not when I'm my regular weight of M/L), it just made me wish for the body I had when Scott and I got married. I gained 55lbs with my pregnancy and have only lost 40lbs of it, plus the 15lbs I gained after the wedding trying to get knocked up...looks like it's time to get my butt in gear!! OK, no more body woes & back to the vacation! Here are some of my favorite pics of the week:

Hanalei Bay, my favorite place on the island!

I think Scott was jealous he didn't have a matching hat :-)


In case you didn't know it's pretty hot & humid in Hawaii. I think it's funny the boy was just laying like a lump on a log here (aka daddy). It took us all a day or two to adjust to the weather.

Shrimp tacos!

Waimea Canyon

I'm pretty sure this is my husbands first selfie in his life, so I had to post it. Haha!


Waterfalls everywhere!

(can you tell my husband is the main picture taker)

Babies first ocean experience...don't mind the cleavage :-)

We went on a plane ride around the island!! It was soooo cool!!
