vege garden


We have tomatoes, zucchinis, strawberries, pumpkins, and peas in our 'garden'.

I hope hope hope they will produce more than a few veges/fruits for us this year. it's so fun growing stuff and all, but it costs so much to buy plants first of all, and you have to wait to actually eat the veges... what are we doing??


BUT



we had our very first pick: 'A' CHERRY TOMATO






got devoured by juney monster two seconds later I took a picture of it.
ガーデンしてます。トマトとイチゴとズッキーニとカボチャと豆。トマトとイチゴとズッキーニは苗で買いました。豆とカボチャは種から。。がんばってたくさん野菜作ってねー。そして、ワタシたちの家計をたすけてくださいー。

OWL hats



When I made owl hats, I always made them with sleeping eyes. I thought it's cuter when they are asleep. but I came to like the opened eyes as well.


so...





TA-DA-.

not bad, eh?

HOT



We were so sick of cold weather and hoping summer was already here...

NOW look at us, we are complaining it's TOO HOT. We can never be satisfied.

so almost everyday we are playing with water to cool down a little.



ちょっと前まで、寒くて寒くて雪で雨で、早く夏にならないかなーとかなんとか文句いってたわけです。そして、あっつくなりはじめました。カンカン照りなあっつさ。そしたらそれはそれでこれまたあっついだのなんだのって文句。というわけで、外で水遊びしてるわけです。

DICKEY'S

We went to try DICKEY'S today for dinner.


It's a rib restaurant.



We had a feast. Yum yum yum.


So they have ice cream machine just like those fountain drink machine, it's a fountain ice cream :)


リブ食べてきたわっけです。わたし、リブ大好物。アイスクリームマシーンもあって、どんだけでも食べれる。うれしいレストランでした。
今日行ったのは、うちの近くのwincoの並びのストリップモールの一角のでした、って、他にもあるのかな??知りません。いや、しかし、うまいっしょーー。リブずきでしたら、試してみて?

She was dumping water on her chair, and she thought that was pretty cool and fun.

Monticello/Moab trip






Daniel had a motorcycle race down in Monticello last weekend. It was little far, but I hadn't been there before and had been wanting to go there so we decided to go.

We didn't leave our house til 2 or 3, so when we got there, it was close to 11pm. (with kids and everything, we had to make more than a stop, right?)

The night was okay. we brought enough blankets that we could snuggle in.

The next morning David joined us, and the race started at noon.


It was a beautiful day. Yes, it was hot, but not too hot, but it sure was windy. Constant wind and heat can make people so tired.

We stopped at the Monticello Temple and snapped some pictures. It was so little, yet beautiful. Can you tell we are so filthy?!

We stayed in Moab the next night at a camp ground. The city looked so much fun. We didn't explore, I mean we couldn't, with us being so tired. Maybe next time.

we had a dinner and played in a pool.

and the night was so HOT that I couldn't get much sleep. it's just a part of camping. I still love it.

先週末にユタの南東にあるモンティセロでだんくんのレースがありました。ので、ついでにキャンプしてきちゃいました。たのしかったっさー。1日目はモンティセロでキャンプ。2日目はそのちょっと北のモアブでこれまたキャンプ。キャンプ、ばんざーい。

memorial day wkend camp out




{for my record}


We went camping to Delle over memorial weekend.

it was pretty chilly the whole time. we had to wear jackets and stuff, but it didn't rain: that was good.


look at this funny boy, standing on a hill by himself.




Nobody was there: the whole place just for us. It was nice.






next morning we decided to exploring the deseret. Dyson was on his bike, rest of us was on a golf cart. and guess what? We got stuck. Daniel had to pull and push and everything else to get us out of the nasty mud. While we were waiting, our face got sunburn...





we are back! Dyson needed a drink so bad.


メモリアルでいの週末にキャンプに行ってきました。雨は降らなかったけど、寒目でして、長袖長ズボン。でも天気は意外によかったのでらっきー。次の日、だいくんはだいくんのバイクで、その他の人たちはゴルフカートでちょっと探検しに。行ったわけですが、

みごとにはまってしまったわけです。

どろどろからぬけだすのに2時間かかりました。


その間にみんな顔だけ日焼け。けっこう日焼け。。はずかしいくらい日焼け。。。

やっと戻ってきました。

たのし。
