It's hard to believe but Bella turns two today. Time is just flying by and I hardly have time to update the Tiki Lounge blog. We took Bella for her first Disneyland trip last month. Here's a shot of Bella with her new friend, Minnie. @<%image(20110315-bella-minnie.jpg|360|450|bella and="" minnie=""> Happy Birthday Bella! And much love from all the Tiki Lounge staff! @<%image(20090828-mapababy.jpg|150|100|she was="" so="" tiny="" before=""> P.S.: I'm really going to make an effort to post more pictures soon! I promise. Really. I do.
01/01/11: Happy New Year!
Dr. Scobrainiac of the Scobobby Institute for Questionable Knowledge predicts another great year!

In a recent interview Dr. Scobrainiac stated "I have precisely aligned the crystals so that the Tiki Lounge will be the epicenter of much happiness and joy! I believe it will also continue to have a positive effect on the economy. And again, sorry about 2007, I must have bumped the table or something."
We already know it will be a wonderful year!

12/24/10: Happy Holidays!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

11/20/10: Congratulations Ruth Teresa and Wayne!

11/13/10: Summer Returns for a Day
The view was great but it was very windy when we got to the top. I moved the bikes in front of the building cause I was worried they would blow over!

It was also cold. Here's D being cold.

Here's me being cold.

Did I mention it was freakin cold!

It was a fun ride but we didn't stay long. Went back down where it was warm!

10/24/10: Semiannual Update
We celebrated Bella's birthday with everyone on March 20. The Tiki Lounge threw Bella a great bash, she even had her own cake!

The sugar quickly took effect.

We went on a visit to the Oakland Zoo. Bella was still a little too young for the petting zoo area.

D's license was up for renewal so she decided to get a motorcycle license as well. She took the MSF course and it rained on the day of her test but eventually she passed.

Her first bike was a Yamaha V-Star and she learned to handle it pretty quickly.

Before we knew it, she was upgrading to a Harley.

Oh, by the way, I got one too!

Bella had her first visit to an amusement park and went on her first rides.

She loved it, she only cried when they stopped!

Dad came to visit and we went to the Carmel Mission

and on the Niles Canyon train.

We took Bella to the aquarium and she loved it! We could barely tear her away from the glass.

We made our annual pilgrimage to Hawaii around July 4th! The surf is pretty calm in summertime.

Over Labor Day weekend we went to Yosemite, Mono Lake and Bodie!

Finally, we went on our longest bike trip so far to Street Vibrations in Reno.

It's been a busy year here at the Tiki Lounge. I'll post more pictures in the gallery when I get a chance.

09/15/10: Happy Birthday Asheley!

Stay tuned - I'll be back soon with our "What we did over summer vacation!" post.

03/15/10: Happy Birthday Bella!!!

TTFN

01/01/10: Happy New Year!!!
12/25/09: Merry Christmas Everyone!
Peace, Love and Happiness!

11/05/09: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

No telling!

10/09/09: October Already!!!
I've been told I am supposed to make more frequent entries to keep people up to date. Seems like summer just ended and now September is already gone too. Some time in August Bella started to laugh and giggle for real. Check out this video:
?
Over Labor Day weekend we went on another road trip. This time we went to Old Town Sacramento, Mount Shasta and Crater Lake.
Asheley turned 14 in September. We had a small gathering to celebrate the occasion.
Asheley went to her first high school dance. I took pictures in the photobooth and tried to keep an eye on Asheley. It was better than any dance my high school ever had!
And Bella just keeps getting cuter!
Well, I think so anyway.
That's it for now!
08/28/09: What We Did Over Summer Vacation
On May 17th we had Bella's christening. In retrospect, we probably should have had her baptised before sending her into space but NASA seemed to be in a big hurry.

Anyway, there were lots of people at the party and a good time was had by all.




Thanks to everyone who came and helped make the party a success.
We had a jumper for the kids at the christening. Turns out Hello Kitty had some surprises for us!
On May 23rd we went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with Papa, Nonnie and Alyssa. We had fun on the rides.

At the end of May, Rochelle and Elyssa came to visit. We went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk again (you just can't go too many times!).
Rochelle said this was the first time Elyssa went on a ride by herself.

She looks like what we might call an "aggressive driver"!
We went shopping in San Francisco.

The girls went to Great America.

And we went bowling at Strike with Rochelle, Elyssa, Rick, Lea and Tehani.

Dudes got issues! Of course, he kicked all our asses in bowling.

In June, Bella started rolling over on her own.
Dad came to visit for a week. We took him to Napa and Half Moon Bay but mostly we just hung out.
Here we are at Rodney Strong vineyards.

Family resemblance?

The girls at Chateau St. Jean

On June 11th, Asheley graduated from CMS.

Congratulations Ash! We're so proud of you!
During the visits by Rochelle and Elyssa and Dad, we rented a minivan. We liked it so much we bought one.

In July, we took the minivan on a road trips to Big Sur...

and Mount Diablo.

We went north to see the giant redwoods with Uncle Frank, Auntie Debbie and Tehani...

and drove the new minivan through a tree.
In August, we went to Hakone Gardens and were underimpressed.

Nonnie took us to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk again (Thanks Nonnie!) and even Bella had fun!!

Really, she's having fun.
Bella started eating baby food.

And Asheley started high school.

That's it for now. We should have some new pictures in the gallery soon.

05/15/09: Happy Birthday Denise!

We had lunch at Cascal and a cake from Satura.

04/27/09: Bella Prepares to Return to Earth
Bella says she is looking forward to coming home although she will miss the Zero-G diapers.
Check back for updates on Bella's return to Earth!
Esta Later!

In the first US moon landing since Apollo 17 in 1972, Isabella became the youngest astronaut to walk on the moon.

NASA scientists attribute this amazing feat to her intensive Space-Babies training and the Moon's gravity being one-sixth that of the Earth.
Isabella spent roughly 2 hours on the surface before returning to the Lunar Module for her 4 o'clock feeding. Her only apparent discomfort during the moon walk was due to the fact that she forgot to place her binki inside her helmet before sealing it.
Isabella is expected to return to Earth this weekend but not before becoming the youngest astronaut to perform an untethered spacewalk.
Stay tuned!

04/14/09: Congratulations Asheley!

Asheley made her Profession of Faith and received Communion for the first time during the Easter Vigil mass on Saturday night.
Thanks to all those who supported Asheley in body and spirit!
Amen!

04/08/09: We Have Lift-Off!!!
According to NASA engineers, a previously moth-balled Apollo rocket was used for this mission since there was only one astronaut aboard. Undisclosed sources indicate that the economy and budgetary constraints may have also played a role. Bella's parents main concern was that in the future Bella may only be able to fall asleep while strapped into an Apollo size rocket. The space shuttle would never do!
More to come!

03/26/09: Space-baby Bella!

Since the Mercury Seven were selected in 1959, over 41,000 people have applied to become an astronaut, yet only 321 have been chosen. Luckily for Bella, the training program has changed a lot over fifty years. No longer is it a prerequisite that you are a male aged 25-40, less than 5?11? tall, college educated, and a USAF test pilot with three years experience. Today women are also able to apply and civilians including teachers, scientists and even newborn babies line up alongside military-trained applicants.
The following photos show Bella in what are obviously various training and test regimens leading up to a mission.

Babies are used to receiving food in a space-friendly containers!

Strapped in for lift-off!

Looking through a porthole.
The use of centrifuges has long since been abandoned with the advance of materials science. Highly adapted space suits have reduced the g-force side effects of vomiting, fainting and dirty diapers that accompanied launch and re-entry training.
Although we have been unable to contact NASA to confirm Bella has been selected for the program, via a confidential source we were able to obtain an advance copy of Bella?s official NASA photo.

07/29/08: Goodbye Mom

As a realtor and an associate of the Tiki Lounge, Mom often helped to scout potential new locations.

Sometimes she had a vision we couldn't quite understand.

Other times, she was right on.

She loved to shop and often helped find new decor and uniforms for Tiki Lounge staff.

We miss her presence but she lives on in our hearts and memories.

Aloha Mom.

As for calling me "Uncle Bob".... Do I have a choice?
Let me tell a little story...
I remember at my sister's wedding there was this weird guy. He was from her husband's family (who are generally pretty normal people). It was just that the girls complained he danced a little too close for family. He was a bit odd to converse with too. He drank a little too much. He just kinda made you think "Hmmmmm."
We asked who he was and were told, "That's Uncle Bob! He's a little odd but doesn't every family have an Uncle Bob?"
So please don't make me the Uncle Bob of this family.

10/01/06: Asheley-Fest 2006

We had parent meetings for both volleyball and the school play on Ash's birthday. Papa Wayne came by and we had a small celebration.

That weekend the Tiki Lounge hosted a sleepover party with Ash's friends. They played lasertag and moved to Dance Dance Revolution.

The following week the lounge hosted a party for family and friends. Chef Jay outdid himself. The menu included chicken kelaguen made with fresh coconut.

We also had beef kelaguen, red rice, fried chicken, BBQ spare ribs and more. There was plenty to eat and drink!


Everyone had a great time.




Even the kids.


Y'all come back now! Y'hear?

09/12/06: This Week at the Lounge

It has become apparent that cooking Chamorro food requires the consumption of large quantities of Bud Light.
We use only the finest ingredients here at Scobobby's Tiki Lounge. Everyday our staff visits local farmers to buy fresh produce.

Denise looks over some locally grown fruit.
Are you local?

Asheley mans the guard house to keep out the riff-raff!
Bring your friends, we've got plenty of parking out back!

Try not to hog too many spaces with your pimped-out outrigger!
We've also added a video game parlor to the lounge with XBOX, PS2, and Gamecube.

Island style Halo anyone?
TTFN from the Scobobby Tiki Lounge Staff

09/06/06: Hey, where is everybody?

Scoboby's Tiki Lounge is a little off the beaten path but we have plenty of bbq short ribs, red rice, kelaguen, Bud Light and island music. So it's worth the effort!

Albert (Denise's brother) is teaching me to cook Chammorro style. So far we've made chicken kelaguen, red rice, finne dene and short ribs (I still gotta learn how to make the marinade). The bad new is I forget half of it every week. The good news is Albert comes back and teaches me all over again.

Bye from the Scobobby's Tiki Lounge Staff
