What's New?

As I was downloading pictures from my camera I noticed Emi had taken a hundred photos of herself. She's is so silly...

I know it's out of focus, but I couldn't stop laughing because she's making a kissy face. I swear I don't make that face in pictures.

Yesterday was a beautiful day, we went to Berkeley Marina park and ran around.

We wore our bathing suit and pretended we were going to the beach.

Today we went to the Oakland Temple and since it's the first day of Spring, here's a picture of my girlies posing with the beautiful tulips.

After the temple, we went to this Mexican restaurant (as pictured above with one of the workers) that's near our place. We've been wanting to try it out because it looked cute and the sign said "Authentic", so when we walked in to see that it was ran by a Korean couple we wanted to leave (I know, I know...that's a bit prejudice), but I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and stay and eat anyways. Mason and I ordered the steak burritos and the girls ordered a hamburger. The conclusion....waste of money and we should have stuck with our instincts and gone somewhere else. Our steak burritos turned out to be some sort of cartilage and pinto bean burrito...it was not good. I think I'll stay prejudice when it comes to Koreans serving Mexican food.

The Leprechaun came

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This morning the girls woke up to a surprise. A trail of footprints and gold were left behind from a Leprechaun. At the end of the trail were some gold fish and sun chips.

Miya and Emi were so excited with what was left behind.

The Leprechaun even turned our pancakes green!

Ahhh! Green Pancakes!

Emi looks like she's not sure what to make of this trail of footprints.

We also celebrated Mason's birthday on Sunday with our buddies the Beesley's. We had a high school flashback party where we each presented how cool we were in high school. It was fun to see how different we all were, but yet all so cool...lol!

Sharon sharing her scrapbook she made in high school...very COOL!

Happy Birthday Mason!

Happy Birthday Mase!

I love you so much! You are such an amazing husband and father to our girls. Thank you for being so wonderful and for being such a sexy looking man!

Still nothin' really interesting

Thanks to my buddy Jessica, we've got some cute family pictures. Thanks again Jess!

With Spring coming, the cherry blossom trees are blooming. It's so beautiful to see all the white and pink blossoms. Sorry this picture doesn't do it justice, but it's the only one that didn't come out blurry.

Miya also received the citizenship of the month award for "leadership". So proud of my little leader.

Things we've been up to

Miya's creations

Here's a photo Miya took of her barbies

Miya showed me how to make kale pizza like she learned in cooking class

(from scratch)

Emi enjoying the pizza Miya made her

I was so impressed with Miya's cooking skills. She made the dough from scratch, I helped knead the dough, but then she did the rest. She saute'ed the Kale with some onions and grated the cheese and baked it all. Lastly, she topped it off with some fresh lemon juice.

It was delicious!

I love that I'm able to learn from my girls and that my girls are getting old enough to cook and clean.

Not up to much.....

We went to Codornices Park the other day when the rain was on break.

All aboard!
