Gabey Baby No Longer


Gabe celebrated his 15th birthday on March 1. We were hot off our trip home from Germany - still on European time for sure but managed to take him and 2 friends to stay at the Embassy Suites in Waikiki.

The guys had a good time swimming, walking around Waikiki and eating. And eating. And eating.

Gabe is taller than me by many inches! He is a good looking kid with loads of talent and a kind heart. Always singing or playing the piano...in fact we usually have to tell him to stop singing.

He got a bunch of cash for his birthday and quickly went out and bought an iTouch.

Two performances are in his near future - Singing in the Rain (weekends in April) and Dance Concert (2nd weekend in May).

15 years old already - wow - where'd the time go?

He thinks he's getting his driver's license and a car when he is 15 1/2. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Post Christmas Trip

Went to Las Vegas on New Years Eve - my cousin Mellene's son Manu Boy (I mean Manu Man) got married in the Las Vegas Temple on Jan. 3. I went up early and spent a few days with my awesome cousin Stephanie. We had a great time chatting and relaxing.

The wedding was wonderful. Manu man and his lovely wife Ashley are not just a wonderful couple - they are wonderful people. The food was ono and it was fun to see the next generation coming into adulthood with such grace and optimism for the future.

One other bonus of this trip is that I got to go to the Liberace Museum - it as fascinating! Don;t miss it on your next trip to LV.
