Maui Trip

So I just got back from a 2 week trip home to Maui! It was by far the most intensely amazing vacation EVER! We had family and friends coming and going throughout the entire time and every single day was an adventure. Since way too much happened I'll share my trip via pictures..

we had a little girly photo shoot :)


why? because butts are cute..

Still before:


during..




After:


And there was SO much more including underwater caves, hiking through lava tubes in the dark, surfing, swimming with sharks and sea turtles, jogging through pineapple fields, and eating LOTS of fresh coconut and lilikoi from the property. It was exhausting, and exhilarating, relaxing, and intense. It gives me chills just thinking about how much real fun we had. One for the books I tell ya! :)

Hopefully this link works.It's a couple of my cousins and me jumping off a 60 footer (again)

If that doesn't work, here's a pic of me jumping a couple years ago. I jumped off where you see that group of guys are and I'm mid-air kind of in the middle of the picture.




Sidenote:

I got some horrifying news while I was in Hawaii that my little baby kitty was killed by a coyote. Long story about why he was outside, but I was absolutely devastated and still am. Here's some pictures of my baby Louie. p.s. Louie comes from King Louie. We have a Jungle Book theme going on in our family. I have an all black cat "baghira", we used to have a grey cat "Baloo" and my brother and Brandi have Mowgli. Louie was orange so we went with King Louie.

yeah, he's sitting on my leg haha


he was always a huge fan of my blog :)

what a weekened.

Thursday night some of the fam went to see one of our favorite movies OF ALL TIME turned into a musical, Young Frankenstein! It was, by far, the best show I've ever seen on stage. We ate dinner at Eva Longoria's restaurant "Beso" and then headed over to Pantages to see the show. So much fun! I LOVE my family!











Friday night was a historical night! I went and saw one of my really good friend's performance at the El Rey.

Andy Grammer...incredible. I've known this guy for quite some time now, starting at open mics, and to see him grow to where he is now, knowing I'll be hearing his single on the radio soon really makes me melt. I feel like a proud mama and I couldn't be happier for my friend.







Saturday morning I flew up to San Jose to hang out with my sibs and in hopes my sister would give birth while I was up there. AAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDDDD she did!!!!! I'M AN AUNTIE!!!!!!!! I can't believe it...it was so incredible. Only 20% of the time do babies actually make it out on their due date and this little girl was punctual! Meet Nika Bella Loukas...











Isn't she the CUTEST?!?!!!!!! I know...

Well, today is a very busy day gearing up for Maui, I leave tomorrow! EEEEE!

Happy Monday!
