Saturday afternoon at Transit Cafe

We woke up on Saturday to a day that was free to do whatever we wanted. It was a gorgeous morning...just windy and a little cool...but a perfect day to get out and see the beautiful waves on the sea wall. We went to Transit Cafe for lunch and had a yummy meal with a fantastic view. Jackson loved seeing the ocean waves and the surfers trying to get on their boards. I can only imagine they were freezing their buns off! Turned out to be a great afternoon for all of us!

The stairwell leading to Transit Cafe.
Gracie being a sweetheart while we ate lunch.
Our amazing food! The top was a fish and chips that Jason and Jackson shared. And mine is on the bottom with spicy curry soup with all kinds of veggies, rice a fried egg and naan. I would of licked my plate clean if there weren't other people in the place.


Jackson waiting patiently for his food...he kept asking when it was coming...time to sing the patience song, right Mom!?! ;-)

Surfers out catching a wave.

My two sweeties sporting the Texas hats. Hook em' Horns!!
Gracie was so happy in this picture...but Jackson wasn't ready. It's hard to get both of them to look at the camera with a happy face!
Just loved this one...Gracie with her dark eyes. ;-)

4th Annual White Trash Partay...at the Yost's casa...

Straight from the trailer park...Gracie is unsure of what Daddy looks like and is doing. And Jackson is thinking, what in the world is going on here!?! The hosts of the annual bash~Tom and Laura (and baby Ella who has been cooking for 6 1/2 months)
K came dressed to impress! Gotta love the duck tape!
Couldn't have a white trash party with out a toilet seat!
The party is just getting started. Enjoying the beautiful day!
I wish I would of taken more pictures...especially of the best dressed. They were great! We always have fun at the party and I'm already thinking about next years costume...

More footage of Grace crawling...

Off to the aquarium we go...and more footage of the crawler...

Jackson and Grace giving me a big smile for the camera. These are the moments I love! Molly and Jackson hand in hand while taking a stroll through the aquarium. Jackson loved being in the jaws of a shark! In the first part of the aquarium there is a tank where you can touch the starfish and other sea life. What you don't see in this photo is a japanese couple who "adopted" Jackson during this part. It was a rainy day at the aquarium...which was perfect! Jackson couldn't wait to hold the umbrella.

Molly's Okuma Birthday Weekend

We all went to Okuma for Molly's 40th birthday...and had a blast with everyone!Molly and Jackson watching the Lion King before hitting the sack for the night. Jason eating dehydrated squid. I am watching in disbelief while he takes a bite! Two love birds...;-)
Adam, Dustin, Tim and Jason saying a big cheese!
The girls all being pretty for the camera before we left the guys with the kids and went out.
There's the birthday girl!
At the DEAD bar...we made it fun and made it our own...
Oh, the beauty of digital cameras...everyone loves to see the pictures right after they are taken...especially my fellow blogger Tritia!
Kim, Naomi, Tritia and Christa...Naomi is in her gangsta mode.
Jackson couldn't wait to play minature golf!
This was a father/son teaching moment...so cute!
We stopped at Jason's (and now mine) favorite soba shop in Nago. I, of course, had to get curry...and it was SO yummy!

Jason diving into his bowl of noodles...
Jackson LOVES noodles! He is our little Japanese soba/curry eating boy!
We had a wonderful weekend with friends and can't wait to do it again soon. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful family here!

Halloween~Trick or Treat & Look who's crawling now!

Dressed and ready to go! Jackson couldn't wait to go trick or treating! I told him he couldn't go till it was dark, so he kept on looking outside to see if he could see the moon. He wasn't excited or anything! ;-) Spiderman Jackson shooting his web at you! As you can see from her face, Gracie doesn't know what to think of him...
and here he is displaying his web...
Gracie doing what she does best...looking adorable!
The kids before they were off to the races...
Jackson couln't get to the next house fast enough!
The dad's...Jason and Kent
the sky was so beautiful! Every once in a while you would see the huge bats that live here fly across the sky. That really made you feel like it was Halloween!
Taking a break from getting candy for a family shot.
ADORABLE angel Sophia looking pretty for the camera.
Soph and Jackson taking a break to get some lovin'.
And here she is...starting to crawl!! Yikes! I can't believe it...it seems like just the other day she was learning how to sit up by herself. Time to baby proof...again...
