Lazy

My apologies to my few readers for the lack in blogging...I have no excuse. Sometimes the evenings get the better of me and I like to veg out on the couch and just relax. I need a laptop so I can veg AND blog :) maybe one day...

Kale Chips

 Kale. Known as a super food by some. I never really tried it until I heard of this super simple recipe that, in my opinion is simply delicious.
All you do is wash your kale, remove the stalk, chop it up, throw it in the oven until its crisp (about 15 minutes). season with what you like, but I find salt to do the trick.

And here is the result...
Deliciously crisp, flavorful, HEALTHY kale! YUM! :)

For years ago today

4 years ago today David and I were in beautiful Hawaii enjoying the tropics, and best of all, getting married! Its hard to believe its been 4 years! But then again it feels like we have always been together! and I mean that in the best of ways! David and I are so blessed to have each other! we get along so well, never fight, hardly argue. Its a good feeling knowing I have him by my side! He is a wonderful Husband and dad! Cheers to 4 years my love! and many, many more to come!!





Never forget

10 years ago on this day I was in my senior year of High school, sitting in, of all classes, US history. We were in the middle of a lecture of sorts when the principal came over the intercom saying that their had been a terrible accident in NY, that a plane had hit the world trade center. He instructed the teachers to turn the TV on in all classes. So we as a class sat and watched the coverage. That's when we saw the second plane hit. It was like watching a movie. so surreal. about an hour or so later the principal came back on the intercom saying that this was a terrorist attack and they were letting school out early in fear of more attacks. I will never forget that day.

Its hard to believe its been 10 years...



hand-me-downs

Here you can see Malia inspecting her new collection of shoes sent from her Gramma in Ohio. Turns out my mom came across a steal of a deal and got us a LARGE box PACKED with clothes and shoes for the little one all for ONLY $5!! AWESOME!!! most of these shoes will be worn during the winter. she has a little growing to do yet. She approves of the collection.  Shes already starting a love for shoes at such a young age! she brings them to me and says "shio momma". Maybe shes been hanging out with her aunt Holly too much ;)

Garden Baby

Today Malia and I took a trip around the yard, through the garden, to the mailbox, and back to the house. Doesn't seem like much, but with tiny legs making lots of big steps, she was sweating in no time! She enjoyed our trip to the garden! this is the first time Ive had her walking around out there with me! she kept pointing at the tomatoes and saying "apple!" very proudly! We didn't get ate up by mosquito's on our trip because we were properly  fitted with repellent!

Here you can see her checking out a tomato plant. she was smelling them and saying "*snifffff* mmmm ah"
She loves to be outside. I had to coax her back in the house. but I have found that letting her do things herself, she has a lot less resistance. she doesn't want to be carried much anymore. Shes growing so fast...

busy busy bees

Ive been slacking on the blog this week :( But I am happy to report that David, Malia and I have knocked out a large amount of cleaning at the rental. just a smidge more, then we will be putting it up for rent! We did finally get local phone numbers! we figured after all the stuff we are trying to do...locally....we might need a, well, local number! so cheers to 704, and so long to 828!
