My favorite month of the year is here. Actually, it is my 2nd most favorite month of the year (December is my most favorite for obvious reason ;) 
I decided to take TnT on their first hike before a visit to the pumpkin patch at Waimanalo Country Farms. 
We hiked up to the Makapau'u Light House on Hawaii Kai side accompanied by my 2 evil step sisters.

Other than Little T demanding a water break every 5minutes, and giving up half way up - we had a great time. It took us 45minutes to finish a hike that is usually 15-20minutes (without children) 

We had fun in the scorching hot sun..ahem - taking lots of photos, taking in the beautiful scenery, and saying 'Good Morning' to every stranger we came across on the way up and down the mountain. 

At one point, I wanted to turn around and go back to the car, but lo and behold, we soldiered on and we made it to the top safe and sound. 

And now, I am sitting at home with a sore back from carrying my little monkey boy half way up and all the way down. 

Nothing like making great fun memories with my TnT's

Didn't break a sweat. He was riding on my back/shoulders most of the time

my lil all star who made it all the way up and ran the whole way down

I was ready to throw him down at this point

WOW...life must've been really interesting the last 2 years - - So as I try to figure out my life for 2020, let's recount from where we left off in 2017, shall we? hhhmmmmm 2018, let's see. I resigned from the bank because I needed a break. 2 weeks later I started a job at the State Capitol. (What can I say - Never say DIE! lol) I was excited for the opportunity to make a difference and affect change in our local communities. Needless to say, it wasn't what I expected it to be and like anything in government, it was all a bunch of hot air and no action. Action-less promises! The system is severely  BROKEN, the Capitol NEEDs Young Blood, we need educated politicians who actually walk the talk, and OMG the procedures and processes are still stuck in the 90's - and we wonder why nothing gets done in government. Legislative session ended in June and so did my short lived career in politics...hehehe. It was honestly NOT worth the headaches and wrinkles. I quickl...

Pinterest is my new best friend. Oka! so many nice ideas and random things. I'm usually on there to stalk home decor because I'm a neat freak and a wannabe Martha Stuart like that.

Visiting us today is the fabulous Lani Wendt Young; author of the book that had me started on a sleeping disorder, "TELESA:THE COVENANT KEEPER". I'm sure we've all read it, and if you haven't, now is your chance to buy and be absorbed into the world of Leila & Daniel (and Jason *winks*) Only $5.99 for the eBook on AMAZON . Lani's here for an interview that TEAM JASON's been waiting for. YES, an interview with the hot surfer boy/volcanologist himself while he's here checking out the Pipeline competition at Sunset BEACH and of course visiting one of his favorite fans *ahem* ------ We’ve been hearing a lot about Daniel and I thought it was time that we shine the spotlight on another very important person in Leila’s life…her (cough) friend Jason who is here in Hawaii visiting Jen’s Blog.
