#100happydays


...speaking of 100, it seems like a 100 years since I posted to my blog. I'd like to blame it on the kids, but, I think I have to take full credit...just been doin' other stuff.

What other stuff? Stuff like...

1) Finding an amazing cupcake truck parked outside of Walmart. Omg.
The name says it all...Legendary Taste!



2) Reading (John Green you are rocking my world with your teen novels of romance, heartbreak, finding yourself, and potential summer movies---yes, the cancer one...is really wonderful).


3) Watching...Orange is the New Black season two. Boom! Get Netflix now! And...
The kids growing...Gabe starts middle school in. less. than. a. MONTH! Zach is a two year old dirty comedian. Not much difference between him and Dave Chappelle.



4) Photo challenge! 100 days of happiness. Can you do it? Can I do it? I'm nearly halfway through and there were two days that I missed. Overall, it's fun to reflect on the day, the life, the people that are happiness for me. And I'm proud to say that not all the pics for this project are food. Yay me.




5) Learning...from the kids, but surprisingly, Isom. As of this post, he has successfully completed a year of college while catering to me, raising our two boys, working full time, and fixing things around the house. I can barely watch T.V. and type this post at the same time. So as this 10th Father's Day weekend rolls around, I can proudly say, the boys have lucked out in the dad department. He may be more Clark Griswald than we might like at times, but overall, he's a keeper. 


Hope your Father's Day is #100happpydays picture worthy!

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

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

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?
