Wonka Day!

In Honor of Willy Wonka my daughter's school is doing a candy presentation.  Amaya came up with a recipe for chocolate and peanut butter fondue with sprinkles.  She had cut up bananas, grapes and apples to dip and also pretzels, graham crackers and hershey minitures.  She had to do a jingle and a skit so I am excited to hear how it all went!!! Good Luck Amaya!

BEST TEACHER!!!!!!

I am so proud of my husband!  For two years now her has been involved in the Japanese Intern program at the Naval Hospital here in Okinawa.  He has served as a mentor and a program director for the OB/GYN portion of the interns training.  Last night was the interns graduation and Kaivon was awarded the best mentor/teacher prize.  I am so proud of him!!!

No Crafting for Lent - What was I thinking!!!

OH this is killing me.  Tomorrow I do not have to be to work until 3pm, that means no husband or child in the house all day.  And what can I do?  READ, nothing else, no quilting, crocheting, or scrap booking!!!! AGH!!! Easter please come soon!!!!

Back in Japan

Wow, I can not believe three weeks is over already?  We had such a wonderful time on our leave.  We spent the last two weeks in Orlando with my parents and that was very fun.  I have missed everyone so much.  Lola came down and aunt lorretta and uncle joe were there.  We didnt do that much but yet I felt we were running everyday.  We did get to go to the parks and I did et very sick for three days, sorry employees of EPCOT, but otherwise it was a wonderful trip.  Now to clean the house and return to work, just wish I knew where I worked =)

Fabric! Oh My!!!!

I am in Orlando now and boy am I having a good time. I am here alone with my family as Amaya is in Virginia and Kaivon is still in San Diego. I am enjoying this time with my mom and aunts. My mom took me to this wonderful fabric shop in Kissimmee, I am embarrassed to say I went a bit overboard and have already cut out a new patchwork quilt pattern.

Vegas Baby!!!

Wow, we had such a wonderful time in Las Vegas. We stayed in the Treasure Island, which was way nicer then I though it would be. Kaivon commented on how he had never spent so little time in a hotel room, we were on the go the whole time. Our first day there we went out to dinner at a tropical restaurant and then say "mystere", the Cirque de Soile show at the TI. It was was so good. I think the best part was when they pulled Kaivon on stage and locked him in a box. Yep thats right, kaivon was part of the show. Once he was locked in the box the clown bought over some champagne and sat with me. Poor Kaivon!! The next day we saw everything we could. We had the breakfast buffet at the Paris and then went up the Eifel tower, what a view. We walked all the way down to the MGM and saw the Lion habitat, we went through the Excalibur, which Amaya called the castle, the Luxor and Mandalay bay. We had lunch at Diablos in the Monte Carlo then went to the coney island area of New York New York where Amaya played games./ We met Kaivon's college buddie Lawrence and went to see his house and meet his adorable children. Then back to the strip, we went and saw the water show at the Bellagio, the volcano show at the Mirage and dinner at the Wyn. The last day we had a wonderful breakfast at the the bellagio a restaurant called Bouchon, I had sourdough waffles and they were amazing!! I miss eveyone in Okinawa though!
