Father's Day!

This was Originally posted on June 15, 2008 - S. Korea


It's a great celebration to thank our Fathers for everything that they have done for us, CHEERS! I'm just a little sad that my father isn't around anymore, but thanks a lot Papa and I love YOU! We hope that you are happy with where you are now.

 

We celebrated the occasion by going to church first and then after the mass we proceeded to Turtle Cove and enjoyed the festive meal. We decided to go driving around and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Korea. Then we came back home, the kids surprised their Dad with their present - a TEA Maker. My husband loves iced tea so it's a perfect gift for him since we did not bring his tea maker when we came here. We spent the rest of the day playing outside. It was simple but quite a memory to treasure with.

 

Happy Father's day to all the Great Dads in the World! 

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.

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.
