We’ve been considering getting a blu ray player to go with our living room tv. It wasn’t on a short list or anything like that, but we have been considering it lately . and then on Saturday our DVD player broke (and now the priority is moving up the list). I don’t know [...]

Honolulu City Lights

December 13th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Family, Hawaii, Holidays, Photography

Last night we headed down to the Honolulu City Hall area to take in the Christmas lights. The first stop was at the Iolani Palace next door. (I can’t believe I forgot my tripod!) It is so beautiful every day, but especially so at Christmas time when the Palace and grounds are strung up with [...]

Sunday was a very busy day, we took a little trip down to China town to buy lei for Troy’s homecoming and a little snack too. Our favorite Lei Store was called sweethearts back in the day and then re-emerged as Po’ohala a few years ago, same family, new name. I always go there to [...]

I really did intend to blog sometime this week, but wow, I really had a bunch of things going on, and thankfully none had to do with doctor visits. Well kind of… I did go in for TB clearance so I can chaperone field trips with Jordan’s class. You’ll be glad to know, I do [...]

This picture was taken earlier this week. This bowl is from a sally foster fundraiser last year or the year before, place mat from target. I was just struck with how well they went together. Probably why I was so drawn to the place mats in the first place, and I’ve only realized this now. [...]

Bishop Museum

The past few weeks we have taken to goofing off on Friday afternoons/evenings. This has, unfortunately, lead to spending most of the day on Saturday dealing with Jalen’s homework. This week, I decided that we would come home right after school and work on homework like every other weekday. Jalen finished his assignments, and that [...]

Thunderbirds are in town

September 20th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Family, Hawaii, navy life

The absolutely fabulous US Air force Thunderbirds are in town this weekend. They have been flying practice this week and had two shows on Saturday and Sunday above Hickam Air Force Base. I love watching those amazing pilots flying in formation (not so much love when they do the fly at each other near misses). [...]

Happy Fat Tuesday!

Happy Fat Tuesday! That’s the day before ash Wednesday/Mardi Gras/Malasada Day. So as not to break tradition, Jordan and I headed down to Leonard’s Bakery in Waimalu to pick up some Malasadas. These hot, sweet deep fried yeasty sugary bits are so so good! We picked up some for Jalen’s class to enjoy and some [...]
