Birthday Blast

My family pampered me on my birthday. They really did an awesome job to make my last year of being in the 30s a memorable one.  Our day started with  my husband and daughter  cooked for breakfast.  Then I made some food because my father-in-law was coming.  Thanks for the  plant gift Dad, I love it!  When we got done  eating lunch with Dad, my niece-in-law called and asked if we wanted to go with them at Tomlinson Run, so off we went.

We brought some food and my NIL brought some too.  We ate first before we enjoyed the paddle boats ride which was posted at Ms. Burrito's blog.  I definitely had a blast on my 39th birthday.  Now they say that life begins at 40, let us see.  For me life  has begun  when I became a wife and a mother, a meaningful life!

Thanks to all who greeted me  in my blogs and in Facebook.

Another Year

Originally posted on June 10, 2008 - S. Korea.

Today is my special day. I'm turning 35, whoa I'm getting old... well not at heart, I always feel like I'm twenty... yeah right ...lol.. Well, I have to cook a good meal today. Hey...wait a minute....shouldn't I be off today, after all its my birthday? I guess Moms don't have days off, yup that's right, there are no breaks for us.. Our duties are 24/7. Oh well, I love being a mom and a wife. It makes me feel special whenever my daughter would tell me "I love you Mommy, I think that you are the best mom in the world". Always music to my ears!

A gift given by a korean friend.. Thanks Lina!  In 2009 (still in South Korea), I was invited   by a dentist who is working at University of British Columbia, Canada to enter my daughter's photo into a smile contest online sponsored by Division of Pediatric Dentistry.  Ms. Burrito won by having the most votes online.  Below is her certificate with her victorious smile.

Thanks for visiting!

A Fun Lawn Tractor Ride

We have been visiting my SIL, Chris after we visit my FIL. The kids love it there because she has a big backyard and there's so much things to do and see.

They also  love the fact that Gracie, my SIL's granddaughter is always there.  They love playing in the sandbox.  A special treat  is the fun ride from the  lawn tractor.  My SIL would take them  for a ride around her backyard.

Their swimming pool is ready  for summer's heat.

Having a riding  lawn mower is  necessary especially if you have a big yard like Chris.

"Take a picture of me" is what Gracie is telling me here  which I willingly love doing.

Kennywood

 My daughter's school  has organized a picnic  for the families in Kennywood.  The scheduled date was on  June 1st but it rained that day so we did not go.  We went  the next day instead, although we did not go with the other families from the school, we still had a blast.

To purchase the tickets from the entrance gate, it costs $38.99 each  but since we bought ours in school, it only cost $26 each.

 The first thing we tried was the merry-go-round.

This is the water fountain at the entrance.   More photos coming up in my future posts.  

We watched the  Miss USA pageant the other night and the one we were cheering for is Ms. Rhode Island .  She won and crowned the  2012 Miss USA.  Congratulations to Ms. Olivia Culpo and good luck to your future endeavors.

Horsey Ride

 Daddy was playing rough and tumble with Champ (our JRT) and we decided to join the fun.  Poor Dad, he  carried the  three of us in his back lol.  Our Burritos used to do this when they were little and called it "Horsey Ride".

 It was raining  that day so we couldn't go out to play so we just enjoyed spending time  inside the house.

Thanks for the self timer in the camera for capturing the fun moment.
