Concert alert...

We went to see Ween at the House of Blues, Cleveland, Ohio.

Las Vegas and San Francisco 2007 Slideshow

Another year to meet my sister and her Ohana in Las Vegas. It's the only way I get to see my niece once a year. We stayed at her Club du Soleil timeshare on Tropicana Ave. and frequented the Orleans where Ho'e gambled, Circus Circus for Khyla and the outlet malls for Tita and I.

Half way through our trip, we caught a plane to San Francisco and stayed at the Four Seasons San Francisco. The location was perfect -- downtown near all the shops and a cable car ride to Fisherman's Wharf. It was Fleet week, lucky me, so I got to see the Navy ships cruise into the bay. (Where's the hot sailors!) We spent time with our Aunty Eleanor, Uncle Wes, cousin Charmaine and her husband Bert and son Kainoa, and cousin Darin. I also got to see one of my best friends Carrie before I left! I got to talk to Chaddy for a bit but didn't get to see him this trip.

DA PUPS: Meeting the Hawaiians

Keala met Aunty Jennifer and Uncle Hoe (since it's Khyla's second visit to Elyria) and Ikaika got to meet them all for the first time. It took some time but Ikaika came out of his shell on the last day of their visit.

DA PUPS: Workin' at the car wash

Since Jennifer, Hoe and Khyla are coming next week, we gave the pups a needed bath. They just loooooovvee that! (Here the sarcasm in my voice)




See the big dog...


get skinny!


Ikaika boycotts by sitting his butt down and refuses to stand up to be washed, or at least never gets up his okole without a fight

GIRLIE UPDATE: Smallville Season 6

I waited a bit to finally purchase season 6. Now that Lana and Clark are drifting apart I'm sort of losing interest. Thank goodness they introduced the Green Arrow, aka the fine-looking Justin Hartley! Way to go Lois!

Michael and I still watch the weekly episodes during my Thursday dinner break, but it's just not the same without Clana!
