Eggsactly What You Would Eggspect

...to happen on Easter weekend---another broken toe! Even though its April Fools Day, this is no joke. You can't make something this ridiculous up. The Easter Bunny paid the boys a visit two days early (we have VIP status with him) since Isom left for three weeks of training on Easter Sunday. This year Zach was loaded up with Elmo loot. He currently loves the fuzzy red guy and the moon. Gabe received a few treats and a book from a series he got sucked into over spring break. We paid a visit to the mall/rodeo version of the Easter Bunny. You can see from the picture what a success that was. Maybe running my toe into a concrete wall was my payback for mildly torturing little Zachy. I still got a good chuckle out of his sheer terror at being held by the wascally wabbit. Saturday Isom kindly fried up bacon and baked his famous ginger snap cookies for our Easter brunch on Sunday and we dropped him off at the airport. Sunday we enjoyed good food and company, an egg hunt, egg roulette (see Jimmy Fallon for rules), mimosas, an out of sorts Zach (teething plus missing dad equals WHINY), and for the finale---eggstravagant toe stubbing at its finest. This was the hardest compound thus far to collide with my toes. This time the baby toe was saved and it's neighbor the ring toe received a beating. I decided to shield your eyes from the purple swelling that is my fourth toe. Besides, seen one of my broken toes, you've seen them all. Hope you all had a fun Easter celebration and weekend---that was free of broken toes.

I love the rainbow cupcakes. I think steel toed boots would be a very good investment for you.

So sorry to hear about your injury, hope it heals quickly. That Easter Bunny pic is hilarious, my 2 year old niece won't even get within 5 feet of a costume character without freaking out. LIEP, Amy

Ouch! You could cut off the toes from old boots and put them inside Crocs...Looks like a great egg hunt. Wish I could have been there.

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?
