Tribute to Sabrina's Duck

I just had to put this on here after reading sabrina's most recent post.... Everyone thought I was crazy for taking numerous pics of "mowhawk duck" as I so lovingly call him..... But his 'do really impressed me... I don't know Sabrina... maybe we can start a club?!?!?

Birthday Boy!!!

Friday was the big 2-4! for Brandon!!! So to celebrate such a special occassion, we pulled out all the stops and had a CUPCAKE EATING CONTEST!! We invited a few friends, as our apt is teeny, tiny, itty bitty... So I spent the day baking up a storm... because Brandon would not let me bake them the night before, he wanted "fresh" cupcakes.... so with the help of the alicia's squared... my sis and my friend that lives below us.. we baked 132 cupcakes... and only ended up needing like 50... oh well... you live , you learn... Unfortunately, Brandon lost... I really wanted him to win becuase I bought prizes for the winners! So, I did not feed him the whole day... oh well...so here are a few pics from the festivities!

The Goods!! (baked, that is)
This is when Brandon started worrying that

no one was going to come to his shin dig!!

Brandon doing what he does best!

I heart cupcakes!

This is Nick, he came in Second..

we made everyone count their wrappers to see who won!

Our first Halloween as a married couple

As everyone know Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I think it has something to do with eating candy and being so close to my birthday. But now that I'm married Halloween is going to be AWESOME!!!! because we're in a family ward now. Halloween is all about the kids

The things Ashley will do for a T-shirt

The idea to summit Diamond Head was spawned when Ashley saw a t-shirt at the swap-meet and immediately wanted it more than anything. However since the shirt said "I climbed Diamond Head" Ashley didn't know she was allowed to have it.In my mind I told Ashley that she could just get it anyways ,they don't even check at the register anyone can buy those. But I only said it in my mind. So we made plans for obtaining this prize possession on the day we were going into town anyways to take my roommate Sam to the Airport.

Our first attempt to summit was thwarted due to some heathen State holiday and the park was closed.

Sam was TO'ed big time!!, it had always been his wish to climb Diamond head, and I was appathetic in the winter of the sexual frustration of a long long engagement.

4months later the 2nd attempt. Conditions were just right good weather no school, there wasn't anything good on TV. Ashley said it this hike was going to be roughing it, but then we saw this Snack Truck at the trail entrance and knew she didn't know what she was talking about but we made her our expidition guide anyways.

We were so happy b'cuz this time we were married and being married is da best

Sam was sad because he's still no married so he crapped his pants to get attention but he was too ashamed to enjoy it so all he could do was cry like a baby. BOO HOO!

This is Sam's halfhearted attempt to end his life, pathetic huh?

there were lots of stairs
Ashley gets scared easily. I jumped out of a cave and she almost had an accident too.




did I mention there were stairs

and we continued up
Ashley was so exuasted

A great view of waikiki

This is when I farted, hence the face of relief and mischief

That's when Ashley relized I wasn't the only one that was stinky up there on the top of diamond head... "Where is my shirt?I WANT MY T-SHIRT not even one $#^%@ gift shop WHAT the dilly YO!"

Proof of our accomplishment the geological survey at the highest point too bad we weren't the only ones to see it there were tons of people up there including the elderly and little 6 year old girls. next time I do a travel blog about a hike we did I promise it will be more exiting than this

TRUE LOVE!

This is my favorite picture... as many you may not know I am obsessed with Gummi Bears.. I always have a bag in purse at all times in case of emergencies... BUT I only like the green and clear ones... what can I say, I love the color and taste combination of one green and one clear... well when Brandon found this out, he came up with this invention of a green bear witha clear head... genius I tell you...

Kahuku Cheer Off!!

So, I know Brandon does not want me to post this...but I think it is fascinating!! My sister asked me if I wanted to go to the high school cheer contest, and I was less than excited.. (sorry Tiffani) But, being curious I went... and it turned out to be way different than I could have ever expected. They do not have a cheer squad, instead the different grades cheer off against each other.... and everyone is invited to cheer... as you can see both boys and girls do it... They have to do the cheer on the bleachers, and follow the following rules: 1. They can have one drummer 2. they can have one cheer leader (as you can see in the front).
The contest is such a big deal around here, they hold it at the college!

see the drummer!!
See how many people cheer!
Go team!!
huge fans!

Turtle Power

This is when the turtle winked at me!!!

Kitsap lake on a summer night

Tyler and I never had our wakeboard tour "summer of sin 2005"(you can thank real life and rising gas prices on that) but we did go 4 or 5 times a week. This is the video of one night taken from a digital camera but it still immortalizes the moment.
