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!!

Ugh... so selfish!!!!

I have been sick for the last few days. It's just common cold like running nose, minor headache, sore throat and some body aches. I woke up around 4 AM to take medicine. While waiting for the ibuprofen to dissolve and take my headache away, I was browsing KSL. It is a website just like Craigslist only it is for Utah community. As most people do, I went to the free section. (you never know maybe someone had extra million dollar to give for free. ;)

While going through it, I saw a title of "WTF with Haiti." I clicked on it, and read what I thought was the most selfish opinion someone could write.
This person claimed she is a single mother with two kids who goes to work everyday and did not understand why the government put so much effort to raise money to help the people in Haiti. As she went on, she complained that she lives here in the United States and thought that the government is so blind that they didn't see her and helped her instead. There were other things she wrote that made me want to vomit and my head more ached.

Ok, first of all, she did not offer any free stuff. Second of all, who cares she has to go to work everyday. Who cares she is a single mother and has to raise her kids by herself. She can file for child support or get other supports from the state. She did not have a building fell on her, she did not have to see her family and friends suffered and died in front of her eyes. She did not have to hear all the screaming coming from people who are trapped begging for someone to save their lives. Please people have a heart!!! USA is a blessed country. It is one of the richest countries. There is no way anyone who lives here has worse life than those who are in Haiti. We should be grateful that the government is not blind to see that and has the means and capability to help them.

We try to keep up with the news. It is heart breaking. It is sorrowful and painful. The images show on TV are too hard to watch. My heart cries for them. This could happen to us, no place is safe from any turbulence. I am thankful that we can eat, have a place to live and can give each other hugs. I pray that Heavenly Father continues to protect us and bless us!!!

All about my Children, little bit about me and Moses

Although Moses has been trying hard to always be there when I do grocery shopping, there are still times when I have to go alone with all the kids. I thought I would not be able to do it, but then it turned out to be a lot of fun, and I actually enjoy it. Of course I can only get what I really need that day since there's no where to put them. :)




Here is how my little girl looks when I take her out in her stroller. She always smiles. She's a happy baby, and just by looking at her, I have to smile, too.



This picture was taken after we got back from an emergency room after Michael hurt himself while watching TV. I really did not know what happened because I was in a different room changing Savanna's diaper. But from Michael's story, he claimed he pushed the TV, then he pooped and TV fell and hurt his finger, we concluded, he touched somewhere on the TV, got electric shocked and it scared the "S_ _ T" out of him. he he.. excuse my language, but I think that's what really happened because I really had to clean him before we ran to the hospital. It was a really crazy day. I was so scared that he would lose his little finger, I wouldn't stop crying on the way to hospital. He took it pretty good. He did not cry that bad. I am glad that the doctor was able to put his finger back together. In case you wonder what happened to the TV. Well, we had to kiss it goodbye. We lost our $ 1200 plasma TV not including over $ 6000 medical bill that we later received. Thanks to our insurance, we only had to pay $35.



This picture was taken before we went out to Mac Donald wishing to win a Million Dollars monopoly game. No, we did not win anything. Anyway, it is never easy to be able to sit those two boys together for pictures. They can't sit still, this one was the best and the only good one out of over 40 shoots I took and I am not lying or exaggerating.



Michael always loves and is very gentle when playing with his little sister. He's very protective over his sister. Not so much with his little brother, though, I think with Morie they are more competitive with each other.



I just took this picture because I thought she is cute there!!! 5 months old.



Another cute picture, 3 months old!!



My baby again, 4 months old!!



Daddy and the boys!!!



Me, Michael and Savanna!!



Savanna, 6 months old!!



I like this picture even though it really annoyed me when I took it because every time I tried to take their pictures, at the same time Michael had to take mine, too. He's a silly boy. My silly boy!!!

For The Love of Cooking

At first I did it because I didn't have other choice. It would be really costly to buy cooked food each time. But now I do it because I really enjoy it. I like to go browsing Internet for recipes and experiment them. Moses used to laugh at me, but now he agrees that i am a better cook.
