Our First Quarter of 2010


The Head of Ahi.
We got a big ahi from our uncle in church on this new year's day. I thought I knew how to prepare fish, but this one was too big! Plus our knife wasn't sharp enough.
After I fought with this fishy, finally got da head off!!! (Brutal!)

well, I got so much sashimi that our whole family couldn't even finish! Yum! Thanks uncle!




For the Valentine's Day, H and I went to Big Island to visit the temple (since Laie temple has been closed).
This is actually our early 8th anniversary celebration trip - 2 nights 3 days.
We are expecting to welcome our new one in our family next month, we had to plan this trip early before she comes. It was very nice to be away from kids (sorry boys...) to spend time with my honey alone.
We got to see our friends from college FINALLY after so many years with no contact!!!

One of the nicest things we got to do was eating "real" japanese food!!! We found "yokohama bistro" in town. It was a little pricey, but so ono. Their food is not like "fake japanese food with shoyu and sugar". It was a real deal! Since we haven't found anything like this on Maui yet, we thought that we meant to be on Big Island :P
You should try it. (BYW, we ate Shabu-shabu! mmmmmm...)







Every time our kids' teeth fall off, we realize that they are growing so fast. Now Lanlan has no front teeeeeeeth!

and this weekend he will be 8, getting baptized!
Oh my goodness. Time really flies!










This is my creation for Happy's 5th birthday in March. He wanted to have a "Batman" cake so I tried. I was gonna color all black but I didn't have enough icing pencil, but I didn't forget his "MAN BOOB".
He looks nice and masculine, doesn't he???
Main things was Happy loved it.
Happy birthday, Hap!




Happy started wrestling a few weeks ago. He's participated in some tournaments, but this was the first one that he won the 1st place in his weight class. Daddy sounds very happy too.

He did a great job! Way to go, Hap!

バレンタインデーの週末に、ハワイ島へ神殿訪問してきました。
6月の結婚記念日には、毎年、神殿に入ることにしてるんやけど、今年は、赤ちゃんが生まれるすぐ後ということで、ちょっと早めに神殿訪問でお祝い。ちょうど、バレンタインデーってこともあって、ダブル祝。

夜には、コナの海沿いをブラブラして、”横浜ビストロ”というレストランを発見。日本食に飢えてるエイチと私にとって、最高のお祝いディナーでした。しゃぶしゃぶ食べちゃったあ。

このバラは、別にエイチがくれた訳でなく(笑)、テーブルに飾ってあっただけで〜す。付きだしの小皿ものもめちゃおいしかったぁ。
