Michelle's Bridal Shower

All I can say is, I'm not the only one planning a "wedding" and I'm not the only one who sees the joy in cupcakes! These mega cakes were made by the lovely ladies who planned and threw my friend Michelle a Bridal Shower yesterday. She will by tying the knot this Saturday (wow!) and we spent yesterday afternoon showering her. The view (despite the cloudy, rainy weather) from the Kaneohe home it was hosted at was beautiful. It just never gets old---mountains and ocean simply are breathtaking. And of course, it never gets old how I can never manage to take a good picture...not even of my favorite thing---FOOD. The picture is in my mind...and it's a good one. Red wine, pupus, a game (I won a prize) and I had to take off...I was hosting a shindig of my own. The LOST series finale EVENT (as advertised by ABC) was starting within an hour of me returning home from Michelle's shower. I love t.v. and a series finale is always exciting. This particular finale was extra exciting as I was hoping to make my ABC debut as a LOST extra. Do you know how HARD it has been for me not to mention one word about my filming for two days as an extra for the series finale of LOST?! It's all over now, so we'll assume it's safe to mention now. My friend Mary and I had a blast filming, meeting other extras, scamming snacks from craft service, and oogling over the actors. Being behind the scenes, if only briefly, for one of my favorite shows was a huge thrill for me...I can't wait to add this to my resume.

Ha, ha Danielle! You are a riot. A video?! I can barely take a regular photo. It was the benefit concert part...we were there but we weren't you know? They cut sooo much out. Oh well, check us out on the Blue-Ray/DVD when it comes out in August: DELETED SCENES! :-)

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?

...pumpkin patch in Hawaii! Last year, Zachy was two months old when fall (and all the festivities that go with it) arrived. We had the best intentions of heading out to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin for our new little pumpkin, but c-section mania, baby carrier issues, and sleeplessness prevented pumpkin patching. Not this year! Today's fun more than made up for missing out last year. I am amazed when I think about all the things Gabe did and saw over the course of a couple of hours for only $20. And here's the list: 1. Picked out the 2012 family pumpkin 2. Ate and dripped shave ice with and on brother 3. Decorated mini pumpkin 4. Observed Jackson Chameleons lounging on the arm of volunteer workers 5. Ate a hamburger (they don't do cheese) with brother 6. Petting zoo with 600lb pig, turtles, sheep, cow, donkey, and others 7. Pumpkin cannon (best event of the outing) 8. Large sweet tea in take home mason jar (moms treat of the day) 9. Real Trac...

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...
