The next few pictures are of us down at the sea wall. We go there just to relax and look at the ocean. The kids love it there.

Bobbi's biggest fear has just come true. This Banana Spider was about the size of the palm of my hand.

ROYALTY IN THE FAMILY

There are no words....the picture says it all!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!!!

Our baby turned "2" on Saturday!!!

We spent the day with friends at the park and then went to a place called "Pizza in the Sky".....We werent to sure what to expect as far as Japanese pizza goes....but it was really good and the name of the restaurant explains the views!!! It was great!!! Afterwards we headed over to the Cherry Blossom Festival and a bunch of the little kids got up on a stage with Luke and danced with him. The DJs then stopped the music and a group of about 30 of us sang Happy Birthday to Luke. The smile on his face said it all!!!! He was the center of attention which is just how he likes it!!!

Happy Birthday to our amazing young man!!!!

AT THE FESTIVAL

We hit the tail end of the festival which was perfect because it was less crowded. It was beautiful!!!
