GOOD FRIDAY

Today is Good Friday & it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. I will be spending it at work & won't be quite fasting; however, I think a nice salmon filet is in my near future. How will you be spending Good Friday & Easter? Whatever you decide, I wish you a safe & wonderful weekend filled with family & friends!!!

On another note, I wanted to acknowledge rookie Angels' pitcher Nick Adenhart, whose life was taken way too soon. Early yesterday morning just hours after he had a stellar performance on the mound, he was a victim of a hit & run accident that took his life as well as 2 others. Our hearts & prayers are with you & your loved ones...RIP Nick.

Happy Spring!

Spring is definitely here! Absolutely beautiful weather this weekend & another beautiful day tomorrow (Monday) before the showers come back for Tues night & Wed. I was lucky enough to attend a gorgeous wedding this past Saturday & like I said, it was beautiful weather. Michele looked absolutely stunning & the reception wasn't any different. Congratulations to Michele & Danijel! 

Next week, Melia is on her Spring Break & I'm trying to figure out what to do w/her during that time. I would like to take a day or 2 off to spend w/her. We'll see. Towards the end of this month is her school Open House. Her teacher is awesome & has the class creating great projects! The room is decorated so whimsically...I love it! I am so grateful to have Mrs Reid as Melia's Kindergarten teacher!

We Miss You So Much & Love You, Grandpa! OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Yesterday, was the anniversary of my Grandpa's passing. It's been 5 years since our lives changed. Look how handsome he is! Melia & I hung out at Grandma & Grandpa's house in Cypress along with our cousins from AZ & in town. It was great to see the kids playing together & I know Grandma enjoyed having us all there...even though she was annoyed most of the time (HUMBUG!). We remembered Grandpa & shared funny stories about him. Had dinner at Sam Woo's & laughed all night long. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of everyone...at least to show how much the kids have grown!

I really miss Grandpa & think about him all the time, but mostly, I think about Grandma & how she gets through each day without the love of her life. I'm so grateful to have a wonderful relationship with her...it allows me to feel more of that special love they shared. I'm honored...

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!

Top O the Mornin' to ya! Ok, so it sounds lame coming from a Hawaiian! Nevertheless, I hope you have a great St. Patrick's Day filled with LOTS of green beer. Unfortunately, I'll be working, but maybe I can fit some in somewhere before the night ends...

Here are a couple of green pieces of Melia Art I thought I'd share with you. She just created them tonite watching t.v....this girl never ceases to amaze me!

BOFCS Spring Musical 2009

This year's Spring Musical featured Melia the Frog!!!

She was so excited for this evening. It was extra special because of all her family & friends that came to see her perform - Great Grandma, Tutu, Granny, Papa, Daddy, Aunty April, Bubba, Lizzie, her mommy Nancy & of course ME. We all met at Red Robin beforehand to have some dinner before the big performance, then we headed over to the theatre. Yes, it was a bit crazy inside the lobby, but once we were seated, we enjoyed a VERY entertaining show! Thanks for coming to support Melia! I'm so proud of her!
