What about March??

So, as I am writing now, I am kind of hungry of Indonesian Food. So sad that I still don't know how to make Indonesian Food the way it's supposed to taste. The closest taste I can do is when I put instant mix. Well, I can't go wrong with that, it all comes in a package ha ha.
So this month has been good for me cause I have been going to this Indonesian lady who really knows how to cook and always cooks lots of food when I go there. She's one of the best. She used to own a restaurant in one of food courts in Indonesia. Even though I take the kids most of the time, she and her husband don't seem to mind. They always get ready though before we get there, like moving all the furniture around, or making sure all the glass are protected. ha ha They are awesome!!! Her name is Edna and her husband is Roger. Roger knows the boys are crazy, but he's always trying hard to keep them busy when we are there.



My baby girl on the other hand is so well behaved. She's the best!!! She doesn't run, she doesn't jump, she doesn't push, she doesn't scream, she doesn't throw stuff, she's just everything else my boys are. ha ha.. wish all of them were girls, Moses doesn't wish so though ha ha

There have been so many new things I learn from Edna. She showed me so many different spices that I never used to know what to do with them, so I really enjoy spending my time there beside of course tasting her cooking. She also explained to me how to reserve all the spices so that they don't go bad fast. So that's how we do it, usually I just sit down and listen to her while she cooks and I taste her food. Michael and Morie will be playing with Roger, and savanna would just be walking around exploring the house. :)

Well, now I feel like talking about my daughter.
Since she has extra curly hair, I sometimes don't know what to do with her hair. So, when I found out there were these cute Kufi hats and Headbands with flowers, I started to always put one on hers. I love how it looks on her. No one will ever mistake her as a boy anymore ha ha.. And I started to collect those for her, and it becomes my passion, and people start asking me where to get them and some will buy them from me.
It is fun to mix and match those kufi hats, headbands and flowers, and my daughter seems to enjoy wearing them as well.

What A Month!!!

Yeah... what a month, and I referred that to the Month of February!!! Even though I am kinda relieved to know that at least now we have passed that busiest month of the year, I still have to say that it was a crazy one.

It was started on February 7, Michael's
Birthday. He turned 4!!! Yeah, he's a big boy! Since I told Michael that it was his Birthday that morning, he wouldn't stop singing happy birthday to himself. Lucky him, Moses was home all day because it was Sunday. As a tradition, we got him a small birthday cup cake and sang happy birthday. And for the very first time since a long time, all of us went out to eat. The restaurant that we picked was Joe Crab Shack all the way in Sandy. There was one closer to where we live, but the one in Sandy has a Play Place for the kids and we both agreed that it would be worth the long drive. :) It was so much fun. I enjoyed our family time. Even though Moses did not think so, I thought the food was Great!! I love that place! The kids did not enjoy the food as much as they enjoyed the slides but the most important thing was we all had fun.

February 14
, 2010!! We all know that Valentine's day is a day for boyfriends and husbands not to forget. :) Moses was lucky he did not forget. :) He got me lots of Dove chocolates and also a nice Valentine's card that he gave me along with some cash. Ha ha.. he knows me well. He took me to the mall and let me go shop alone while he was cruising with the kids. It was heavenly!!!


February 16 was Savanna's First Birthday. That day
Moses could not no go to work so I just took the kids out to Kangaroo Zoo. No, we didn't see real Kangaroos, it's just a Play Place with lots of Kangaroo Slides. They had so much fun and I was just happy that there were happy. Sometimes when I look at them I am still asking myself if they really came out of me, and at the same time I am grateful that they are all mine!! Later that night we all sang happy birthday for her and enjoyed the cake Moses brought home with him.








Next was Morie
's Birthday, February 23. I know right... ha ha. Well this time finally we gave them their birthday presents. I took all the kids to TJ Maxx to get their Birthday Presents. I had to go alone because Moses was at work. It was crazy because Morie was being a pain. He wanted to push Savanna's stroller without myhelp and he couldn't do it right, so he was just hitting people with the stroller. And everytime I tried to help, he would just lay himself on the floor and cried. He's lucky it was his birthday otherwise... ha ha just kidding. Phew... After getting lots of staring and pity smiles, shopping was over. We went to Walmart and I got Morie the smallest birthday cake just to give him a lesson. ha ha.. this time I am really joking. The reason why I got him a small cake was because we still had leftover from Savanna's and this time of time is just not wise to waste anything.




Morie was taking a break from pushing savanna's stroller






February 27. Yes it was my Birthday. I woke up hearing CNN news about Earth Quake that shook Chile. 8.8 Magnitude!!! So here I was on the internet to comment on all wishes for me on my Facebook, but my heart and ears were on the news. What was going on??? Moses was still laying down but I knew he was not sleeping. I told him that now Tsunami Warning was issued for Hawaii, Pacific Islands and Asia because of the Earthquake. He said he already heard just like I thought. So as I was trying to make sure that my friends in Hawaii and other places were ok, I got a text message that my friend just lost her 1 year old baby. Again I was just stunned. What was going on? Again why?? She's one of my good friends, and I know she is a great mother. I can't imagine how one has to cope with losing a child and I don't even have any words to describe how sorry I was with the news. All I could tell her was that for her to remember she would see him again and may he rest in peace.

Looking at the positive way, I decided to spend a day out with Savanna on my Birthday, this time only us girls. We drove to Park City and went shopping. We both were enjoying our time alone without the boys. We stopped by at Kris and Kam's house on our way back. And when we got home, Moses had a birthday Cake ready for me and we all went to eat at a Korean Restaurant in Roy. Yes, it is far. But I told Moses that's where I wanted to go on my birthday because the owner of the Restaurant is an Indonesian who is married to a Korean lady. I know them, we used to be in the same ward in Indonesia, and I just found out that they had moved here and opened a restaurant. Very good food, friendly people, great service :) Love love it there.









Now is March! We won't have another birthday till July, Moses's Birthday. So I will see you, then.. he he. Nah.. I will keep updating my Blog now that I am far less busy!!
