Exploring the Island

I get to go on so many adventures and hikes living here in Hawaii, I love it!

This was the end of the one hike I did this past weekend, so pretty and such an adventure.

Had to go down the log, very scary.

We had to go up this straight cliff, Jordan failed, so sad.

Gideon getting up the cliff.

Ski also struggling

While everyone was trying to get up, I had time to take a pretty photo.

Boys coming across the log, it was like a 20 ft drop below.

So there was this moss everywhere, felt like carpet with bounce and super soft, loved it and wanted to take it home!

The trees on the hike.

We were trying to find this fresh water lake, had so much fun looking for it even though we couldn't find it, later found out there was a hour long TRAIL we could have taken.

The hike to the lighthouse

June's Baby Blessing Day

The night after the blessing we had a free night stay at the Four Seasons this is what the family showed up in that night some beautiful robes!

Mom and Dad on our walk at the Four Season.

June and I in her post blessing outfit!

Calvin in my Dad's Indiana Jones costume, he was shaking he was so excited.

This face is when I start to think she looks like a Kakadelas girl.

Luke aka "The King" had to go straight back to playing Legos after the blessing.

Of course we would add another girl to the family, love baby June.

Beautiful night love the lit up gazebo.

What I've been baking lately..

I made some vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and to make them festive for the Fourth of July I add red and blue berries. Fruit and baked goods equals crazy deliciousness!

So many fun ways to put raspberries and blueberries on a cupcake.

And yess they were super yummy.

So I've really missed cakebites from the bakery I use to work at so I decided to make them myself. They don't quite taste the same but they will do the fix.

The finished product.
I also decided to make shortbread cookies because I never have had them. They are way good but something needs to be added I think. I did some test of dipping them in chocolate, but I think it is more a matter of putting something in the cookie dough.
Interesting chocolate designs.

Tell me what you think of the visual display of the cookies ha!

I love Padre baseball games!

Home Run Cartwheels!

Father's Day Treats

So for Father's Day we got my dearest Dad an Ice Cream maker! I think my mom and I were more excited than he was ha. But we had everything ready on that Sunday. We made vanilla cookies and peach ice cream. So so so good! Hopefully there will be plenty more homemade ice cream to come.
