The saying goes, Bad Luck Comes In Threes. Seems as though they are right because one more injury has plagued Blake.
He chipped...actually he broke off two of his teeth. A fourth of one of his upper front tooth and nearly the entire smaller tooth next to it, broke off. This time he was running around after school and fell and hit a curb, or something like that.
Lucky for us, we know a dentist (thx again Peter). He came in on his day off to fix Blake up. He had to do a root canal on one of them and made temporary, cosmetic repairs on the other one. We're going to see him again once the teeth settle and he can better assess any additional damage to the teeth.
He's all fine now. Just having problems (fun) with saying words that start with 'S'.
Hopefully this it the third and final mishap.

Turtle Bay Getaway
Jan 17-19 2009
Last weekend, we stayed over at the Turtle Bay condos. We used to do this every year, way back when, with a bunch of friends of ours. We'd all chip in for the condo and food and other "essentials" and just relax for a nice long 3 day weekend. We stopped planning this once we all got busy with family and stuff. But now that the kids are a little older, we decided it was time to get back out to the North Shore for some fun and relaxation.
First of all, the condos are newly renovated, so they are much nicer than the 70s decore that I remembered from past stays. I took some pictures when we first got there, but they didn't come out too well, so you have to use your imagination here. The condo has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a loft area. New HD TVs, furniture, and appliances, all from Costco, we think. And some really ugly brown and green counter tops. But otherwise, really nice and clean.
So all we needed to do was pack away all our supplies...
And relax....
The highlight of our trip was a horseback riding tour around the Turtle Bay area. We got to ride out onto the beach and into some forest areas surrounding the golf course. The horses were all nice and calm and the ride was easy and the scenery was spectacular. We even rode past a set location for Lost.
We had a great weekend. The waves were a bit rough, so we swam in the pool (it was heated). We played Sorry and cards, built a ginger bread house, and threw range balls out onto the golf course. We ate good food, drank a bit-o-beer, and talked and laughed late into the night. Just like the good ol' days....but somehow better.
some extra bonus "Scenery" shots...that everyone hates, but i love.

UH Football Banquet
Another post from the past. The recent past....early December 2008 to be exact.
We were lucky enough to be invited to the 2008 University of Hawaii Football Banquet.
The banquet is an annual event held at the end of the football season where they give out awards to the players, recap the season, and let fans get up close to the player for photos and autographs.
One of the kids brought a football for autographs.....but only for certain players. He hid it from the guys who he didn't want to sign ball. (smart)
They had a bunch of huge screens setup to watch a video recap of the season. There were also a number of speeches, including one from Admiral Tim Keating, Commander of the US Pacific Command. He actually walked through the entire ballroom as he delivered his speech. Quite impressive.
Here's our friend Wendy, who just had to have a picture with Shawn Ching, former KITV news anchor.
We had a great evening. The food was pretty good and it's always fun hanging out with the Hamadas and Teruyas.

Hawaii Bowl
This post is a bit late.... but we got a chance to go to see the University of Hawaii play Notre Dame in the Hawaii Bowl. A friend of our bought a block of tickets (with the all so convenient parking passes included) to the game (thx Mark).
A whole bunch of us went out to the stadium for some football fun. We tailgated, ate some great potluck food, the kids played football in the parking lot, and we got to see Notre Dame pick apart the UH defense.
I think UH could have done better, but it seemed to me that the QB wasn't able to pickup the receivers that were open on the shorter routes and was also having trouble connecting with the ones that he did throw to. Add in the fact that Notre Dame was just a bit bigger and faster and I guess that would explain the 49-21 loss.
But we still had a great time and it was good to see Hawaii in another bowl game.
We are on the shady side!!!
Fire at halftime
Hawaii Bowl (I like Aloha Bowl better)
