I think im going to crash

Man i've been on the go today just as i thought i'd be. I needed to meet with Travis about a music video and fridays show at 9am so i woke up hat 8:50 hahaha. I met with him, this other cool cat Joel Martin showed up to shoot the music video at 10am and we were at it all the way till 4pm and thats when i needed to meet with Natalie Norton for a photo session. We took shots for an hour and then i got a sec to throw a load of laundry in the wash LOL. Jumped in my brothers truck with Chad and we went to Kailua for band practice with UY. MAN I AM SUPER STOKED!! Marc, Tom, and Demitri are ON IT! They nailed it tonight with my songs and i am super stoked that my show will be ending with them helping me on 4 of my songs. Its going to be so strong. We have another practice tomorrow and then show time on Friday. SUPER STOKED and now its time for sleep. Aloha. Another full day tomorrow. :)

Go go gadget CUBWORLD

So i have yet to slow down and enjoy Hawaii since i've landed. Like i havent been able to just stop and really realize that im home and that i can relax a bit. Crazy but true. I've been on the go all day and tomorrow actually looks crazier then the last two days. Im going to try and sneek in a nap though cause man i really need one and i need to rest my voice and my body better before Friday.

Anyways, so i go to hang out today with Shane and Roxy from an awesome video posdcast called Beach Walks with Rox http://www.beachwalks.tv/and we shot a couple videos that will be up on her site in a couple days. Check out the rest of her videos too. She usually walks along the beach and talks about current events and just cool things that she feels like talking about. She has tons of viewers and is award winning for her site. It was very fun and i actually did feel like i got to slow down a bit and chill while hanging with them at the beach. When the videos come out i'll have to post them here as well. Aloha!

Hawaii Five HOME!!!!

Landed in Hawaii in the afternoon with beautiful breeze and 100% humidity!! Call me crazy but thats my kind of weather haha. Joel picked me up and straight away (almost religiously) went to L&L! Got the works and headed to his place for da kine grinds!(That means 'to eat' in local terms). I spend the night here and went to church with them. We hung out at my sister in laws after church and had some more onolishious food followed by a happy birthday to Isi boy. The kids 10 years old!! What the chicken!? That makes me feel old. I was still in high school when he was born and here he is now 10 on Tuesday.

Oh and a random light went on in my head at church today. "Email yourself pictures off your phone" i did it and it worked! I emailed myself the first picture on my phone which is of my sister in law Meilani posing with some L&L grinds.


Great to be home. Missing Mandy though and wish she and the kids where here. I'm headed to my parents house in La'ie tonight after hanging out on a post cast with Dr. Trey.
Aloha

Bitter Sweet

So tomorrow morning i take off on my journey to the mother land a.k.a Hawaii! Im very excited for the trip and stoked to do a show at BYUH. BUT i'm going to miss my wife and my little ones very much. Jakey is so cute, i was hugging him and talking to him about taking care of mommy while i was away and he told me "you dont have to worry about us when your gone dad." Stuff like that makes me just fill with emotion. One time i was having a bad day and Jakey asked me if i was happy and i told him "No daddy's not feeling very happy today" and his reply was "well you have to try to be happy dad." Wise Words! If you want to be happy you have to try to be happy. Anyways, i hope Mandy and the boys have tons of fun with her family and i will be wishing the whole time that they could be with me in Hawaii.

ANIMOTO

Very cool site i found that allows you to upload your pictures, add music, and it totally trips out your slide show for ya. You can even upload it to youtube or your blog or even download it. Anyways check out what i did with it. I've been messing with it and whats cool is they say that every video they make is different. The transitions are never the same. Pretty neat. Here's one i made and uploaded to Youtube.

Sometimes i just crack myself up! LOL

Heres Zion being highwatered by dad. He likes taking pictures but this time i don think he liked being laughed at haha. To cute. Thats my little clown.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Hey Ladies! CHEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!

This cheesy smile is brought to you by Zion sponsored in part by Mothers Day
Happy Mothers day ladies from my family to yours. I hope all you mothers feel very loved today and everyday.

The Picture of Achivement

haha. First a disclaimer: This is not mean but a joke and I'm sure Siope will be laughing at this. He had to wear his monkey suite 3 times on this day and on the third time joked about me taking mug shots of him LOL.

If you don't know Siope he is my awesome brother in-law. He just graduated last weekend and the guy is a GENIUS! He got his bachelors and masters in a total of 4 years and working the whole time. Way to go bro. Congratulations man your speed is criminal and we should lock you up for speeding through college hahaha. "Book 'em Danno!"

Mandy's Charity Notes

So i tried over and over to get Mandy to start blogging with me on here and i guess it takes me not nagging her to get her to blog. BUT not on this blog LOL, she wants to start her OWN blog :). I'm glad though. She's been loving reading through friends blogs and i think it was only a matter of time :) So introducing Mandy's Charity Notes blog.

Click on image to visit her blog
Ever since I've met Mandy she's had a great fascination for thing that have to do with Charity. Her favorite scriptures are about charity, her favorite stories are about charity...I love it and she herself has great charity. She is always striving to edify and love those around her. I think charity is her greatest talent. Luck me :) Love you babe.
