Best Made Plans

Our plans for attending the Tech Homecoming Parade and football practice were dashed by a fever, a sore throat and then a rocephin shot for Jackson.  Oh well, sometimes a day of rest if just what the body and soul need to feel better.  Especially after a week of multiple basketball/football practices. 

Jackson was majorly bummed that not only did he miss the parade and practice but he was not going to be able to go to the game with Daddy and Papa.  So to make him feel better (rocephin shots do hurt like the dickens) for having to actually stay home on a Saturday (a novel idea) we planned a dinner with Yommy, Uncle Timmy and Aunt Jecca.

Everyday on the way to school, we pass a Japanese steakhouse.  Every morning, Jackson reads the sign and asks "Mom, when can we eat there?". The thing is, he strongly dislikes any type of Asian cuisine, so I was hesitant to take him in fear that he would not eat a single bite.  But tonight, with Daddy and Papa gone to the game, I FINALLY gave in and we went!

We were so excited that Jessica's mom was able to join us for dinner, too!  We had a great time watching the activities and the great food!!!

Yommy, Kendall, Jackson, Timothy, Jessica and Mrs. Robbins

 

I made Jacks promise me before we went that he would at least try one bite of everything.  Turns out, he really likes miso soup!




And so does Kendall!




Jackson took this shot of our teppanyaki chef.  Jackson was mesmerized by his "dangerous" job and "holster".




Kendall wasn't too sure about our chef, he sure was making things smoky...




Another shot by Jackson - he really wanted to catch his spatula skills :)



Kendall warmed up after a while and really enjoyed the show!

Onion Volcano!

Good food + Great Company = Great Times

 

Jackson ate all of his chicken - AMAZING! 
And Kendall ate nearly ALL of Yommy's rice!

 

Uncle Timmy cracks Kendall up - He is pretty funny!

She especially loves his bald head!

 

We made one last wish and then went for ice cream!

Our best made plans for Saturday weren't what we had planned, but the day turned out WAY better than we thought!  Tech even pulled out a win that we were able to watch on T.V. much to Jackson's delight!  Wreck Em!
