Mt. Nago and the Sunabe Seawall

This great picture was put up on the Sunabe Seawall the day after the news of his death:

My handsome hubby :)

Me next to the MJ tribute:

The kids all snuggled up together:

This was before we hiked to the summit of Mt. Nago (this was our trial run to ensure our new gear was good to go):

Our hydration systems and hiking boots are already packed up since we're going to climb Mt. Fuji next weekend!!

Toes

I didn't like the other toes, so I went and got them re-done.  I like these much more:

BBQ

Before our neighbor's left back to the states we threw them a Sayonara BBQ!  Matt will be gone a bit longer than Katie and Jack, but we'll miss all of them while they're gone!  Stay safe Matt :)

Michael grilling ribs, chicken and hot links:

Jack LOVED the ribs!

He was funny when you took the ribs away - he could not get the meat into his mouth fast enough:

Matt and Jack getting some quality daddy/son time after eating:

Piglet was wore out after everyone left!

She's such a sweet little Pigdog :)

Happy Mother's Day

The kids thought I had been a good mom this year ...

so "they" bought me a new purse :)

Happy Mother's Day to all of you real moms out there!!

Margaritaville 2009

The O'Club had a Margaritaville party last night - and it was a BLAST!  We were supposed to go Saturday night, but we really didn't want to try and hit sunrise service Sunday morning after a night of margaritas :)  We switched tickets with a girl Michael works with and lucky for us, we had friends going last night as well!

Michael and I starting the evening off right with some great margaritas:

Dean was mixing his strawberry daiquiri with his pina colada:

Dean and Ebeth - true Parrotheads:

There was a Jimmy Buffett cover band, Sons of a Sailor.  They were really good!

Michael being his handsome self :)

The free margarita line was too long ... so we all switched to free beer:

Ebeth after her shot of patrone (there was even a shot block in the back!)

We knew we wouldn't be disappointed ... someone tucked in their Hawaiian shirt :)

A little jazz flute anyone!?  (with a soft "j" of course)

Michael strangling me with the Buffett beads:

What a great night!!

Easter Toes

They look like little Easter Eggs!

It's been awhile ...

I've got some catching up to do.  For our friend Max's birthday we all went to a restaurant called "Tonneau" or The Barrel Restaurant.  It has its name for obvious reasons :)  This is such a neat place to relax and eat!

We headed upstairs to our reserved party area:

They had huge bars all over the restaurant:

Big, tall, and frosty beverages were abundant:

After dinner we headed to a karaoke bar to belt out some Billy Joel, Elton John and Def Leppard.  It was a great night!

Bali Toes

I almost forgot - my toes for Bali :)
