Sunday Brunch Tradition

The last few days of Tutu's bi-annual visit are upon us. Yesterday we enjoyed our Sunday Brunch together at the Hale Ikena on Ft. Shafter. In the recent past, Gabe has been the buffet superstar, wowing us with his six plates of bacon capabilities. He gets his money worth. This visit, Zach proved himself to be a very worthy adversary for big brother. He tried new things like bacon and papaya and devoured old favorites like potato, sausage, and waffles. I know it sounds like we feed our boys a bunch of crap. But, really we don't. It was a special brunch occasion that warranted the morning gluttony. As for us adults, Isom drank his weight in coffee (they serve the best brew here), and I never met a carb I didn't like. Rounding out the pancakes, French toast, and chocolate covered strawberries was our brunch dessert platter---carrot cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, and tapioca pudding. I plan on going for a run everyday this week...and looking into how the boys can get a job working here for a food discount in lieu of pay.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time and the food always sounds so good--no wonder Gabe likes to eat there! Sounds like Zach enjoyed it, too! Picture of you and boys is priceless--as are all the other ones. Give your Tutu a hug for me along with all the Majors men! Love, Aunt Sue xo

Pali Notches: Cloudy, Muddy, Windy, and Scary

Image
Last week I added a "notch" in my hiking/climbing belt...Pali Notches.  Here's my disclaimer: I'm not responsible for your decision to do this hike.  If you are afraid of heights, not comfortable climbing, unprepared for changing weather conditions...don't do it!  When in doubt, don't go out applies for this hike.  That being said...last week I did the scariest hike I've ever done...and I survived! If you have followed my blog for awhile, you will know that the past year my blog has been regularly dedicated to my weekly hiking adventures.  A new hike, a new post.  But, before my hiking obsession, there was a cupcake baking obsession.  A new recipe, a new post.  Clearly I'm passionate about specific things and like to share it on my blog, lucky you.  During the cupcake phase, my sporty behavior pretty much consisted of couch surfing.  So, to be hiking an average of four times a week and eating zero cupcakes...well, I've come a long way.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
