Mana & Kyra

I was going through the pictures and videos I have and found this one of Kyra and her cousin Mana. They were playing in a bucket at my brother's house and I filmed it because they just looked too cute! This video is from January though, so they are both bigger and taller now.

Yo gabba gabba?

My nephew Mana is turning 2 and we're having a big bash for him in Hilo in the summer. Here are the invites for the party:

So who can answer this....who in the world is y0 gabbagabba? Is that even a word? Apparently Mana loves this show....what show is this?! Where does this play? Who came up with it?

So many questions....so little time! If anyone knows what this is, please help a sister out!

Losing weight with Dad

Surprisingly, I lost a lot of weight after I had Kyra...mainly because I was so sick! Well I'm starting to get a whole lot of weight back and I'm freaking out. So my dad and I decided to go on a diet.

A full on...oh my gosh...we are reworking our eating and exercise patterns full scale...diet.

More specifically, NUTRISYTEM! I don't know how many of my friends and family have tried this but if you have please let me know how successful...or unsuccessful...it was. I think a major problem for me and weight is that I'm super busy and I stress eat to get food. Since I'm so busy I have no time to make healthy food for myself. My dad has the same problem.

So...we are going to team up and do this. I am going to be dedicating some posts on my progress (or lack thereof). If this works, I want to shout it to the world. If it doesn't...I want to shout it to the world.

Fat girls unite! We need to help each other be healthier and happier. My goal is to lose 70-80 pounds in order for me to be at a healthy weight for someone my height. I'll give all the embarrassing details once the meals come in and I'm filling out the details! :)

Please feel free to give me other advice, tips and ideas on how to lose weight the healthy way. I've also placed a bet with my dad. If I lose more weight then I get to go to Disneyland at the end of this year!!!! If my dad wins then I need to pay him the $1,000 it would cost to go to Disneyland!

SO HELP! I need to lose weight and win this bet!

Vote for me!

Hey everyone! I haven't blogged in a month so if no one reads this...that's cool. BUT, Hawaiian airlines is having a contest that ends on the 8th. Basically you go to their website, choose the 6 destinations you would like to visit, create a "passport" and you have entered!

Here's the thing: The grand prize is a trip to the number 1 place you picked. The first prize is 100,000 Hawaiian miles. But you can only get the first prize if you have the most "likes". So please, please, please go to aloha.hawaiianairlines.com, find my passport and click "like". I would love to get those miles so I can actually come and visit most of you who left Hawaii!!!!

Here's the pics I used for my passport so you recognize it:
