my three boys ready for some animated action… :)

I thought it was so cool, it said on the little marquee: Tino’s show

here we are filling into the theater, notice how fast jordan is. haha…

we had a little trivia and giveaways.  One guess who was the first to answer? that’s right, Jalen answered for a free poster.

saw some friends: Ed (@nctrnlbst)

my classmate Kehau and her family :)

We saw Ryan(@Hawaii) and Jen( @mrshawaii) and their kids, i got to meet Fran( @franmag) for the first time IRL (she usually is busy beating me at hanging with friends), Kyle ( @madmarv), and Burt ( @bytemarks). It was a fun little adventure this morning and we are thankful to have been invited!
Thanks for stopping by, we’re heading out for lunch with my family this afternoon.
Love Love and blog you later,

total coolness in my book(s!)

We also went to Kahala Mall to visit a new scrapbook store on the Island.  It’s called Pineapple Cove and it’s on the rooftop level of the Kahala Mall up stairs from the Theater.  When Troy and I first got married we lived near Kahala mall and we’d go to the movies there all the time! Since we live further away now, we haven’t been down to Kahala Mall in a long time.  We checked out the store and I was pleasantly surprised! It’s bigger than I thought and there were lots and lots of cute stuff! I scored some more thickers (yellow and pink daiquiri vinyl) some kaiser flowers and some K and Co paper. The owner, ManLe, was so so sweet to talk to. (sorry I didn’t get pictures of the store, next time)

We visited whole foods for the first time ever. and of course I loved it. such an interesting selection of items. but.wow.it.is.very.expensive.  the coolest items I found:

Do you see that man on the logo? It was designed by none other than my pal Chrispea‘s hubby! Isn’t that cool?!

there was this product too:

I bought two different packs of the corn puffs and opened one. it was yummy, salty and sweet and crisp, like chex mix! I’m sending them to Chrispea! :)

When it was time to eat I wanted to try out this place I kept hearing about. It’s called the counter burger and it’s right next door to whole foods.  The boys, however, had molten lava cake on the brain and wanted Chili’s.  After lunch, we went to the uniform store to order some uniforms for Jalen for next school year and then headed home.

Sunday started off with church where Pastor Jim is starting a new lecture series on the body, fearfully and wonderfully made.  If you know me, I am fascinated with medical shows like mystery diagnosis (Hello Dr. Amy!!!) and Troy and I really enjoyed the sermon. We thought we’d try a local diner for lunch but after we went in there we found out it was a cash only kind of place. Next week we’ll be better prepared for that. (Do you usually carry cash? I almost never do. Check card and check card only for me.) We had a quick lunch at Genki Sushi, stopped in at Wholesale unlimited for some local candies and rushed home for a quick nap before an afternoon tweetup in Waikiki. (that’s a meetup of people who use twitter) I had the best.mochi.ever. Renee aka @surfchik4jesus brought her famous haupia mochi and I’m so loving it. In fact I’m thinking of an excuse to order some in the near future.

and they boys got to play with some friends in the sand…

and on the way home we decided to hit the counter burger that we had missed out on the day before.  If you have never been to the counter burger before (as we hadn’t) they offer predesigned burgers and other items, but the real draw comes in the build your own burgers.  You can choose from 1/3 2/3 or 1lb (cooked weight) turkey, beef or chicken breast.  select cheese, toppings (up to 4 included!) Premium toppings, a sauce, and bun.  we ordered cheesy fries, sweet potato fries and onion strings. we’ll know next time we won’t need all of those… but check out the spread:

we also had shakes, vanilla for Troy and Jalen, Peanutbutter and chocolate for Jordan and I.  Jordan got kids mini cheeseburgers and when his plate came, he picked up the first one and promptly dropped it on the floor without even a single bite.  he picked up the other and started digging in and the server brought us another one, no charge.Isn’t that the awesomest ever?!  We’ll definitely be going back to the counter burger again.

check out my burger:

1/3lb, Honey wheat bun, provolone cheese, grilled onions, dried cranberries, carrot strings, lettuce blend, mayo.

Next post will be scrappy!  Thanks for stopping by, Love Love and Blog you later!
