Zachy Turns Two

Two years old! We celebrated Zach's second birthday this past Wednesday. Thomas the Train (pronounced Domas) party hats, a ride on the Pearlridge monorail, cupcake date with buddy Jennings, homemade strawberry train cake (noticing a theme?) and a Big Wheel (preparing him for his future in a Motorcycle Club). 



What more does a little boy need? Zach was still vehemently claiming to be one, but we know no one is falling for that line.  Measuring three feet tall and 29.8 lbs, him claiming to be one is like me claiming I'm still 25.



Two is proving to be just as rigorous as one was. I know the go to descriptor is "terrible". But, we've already been dealing with a high energy, climbing, curious, destruction boy of mayhem...so I've been feeling pretty confident in what the year ahead might bring.



Looking ahead, I know we have potty training and pre-school on the horizon. But, honestly I'm happy to enjoy the "terribleness" of now a little while longer. When else will boy potty humor be so amusing? When else will every word he says be so cute? When else will he want to cozy up to me every chance he gets? So, today, I welcome terrible two. 


Just maybe not tomorrow.





Happy birthday Zachy. Love ya...terrible two and all.

I just can hardly believe another year has flown by and Zach turned two! Wow...I really am getting "old" and feeling the words of my elders "that time zips by as you get older"! Glad you are enjoying your times with him (good times and trying times) because, as you know, it all zips by so fast! Always enjoy your blogs, even if I comment way after the fact. Love to all, 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

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Image
Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt
