More funs

As everyone knows, Ren is very funny sometimes.
He discover new ways to entertain himself.

Here is the picture of Ren putting coins between his toes.


On Saturday, my mom, sister, Ren and I went to Hiroshima for shopping.
We went to the restaurant(Yakiniku=BBQ) where my sister was working.
The owner gave us free desert (^^)v


My sister and I ate meat, My mom and Ren ate Bibimbap.


Because this Anpanman machine was in front of the restaurant,
Ren straight ran to it when we left the restaurant.
Here is the picture Ren and my 20yrs old sister having fun

And of course we took Purikura

After we got home, my dad, mom and I started making easter eggs to give members at church.
The front one is special that it has so many stickers !


On Sunday, my cousin took me to Cooking class.
And here is the picture of the cake we learned.
It's easy, but pretty and yummy ☆


My aunt, cousin, and my dad's cousin came to see us.
We had fun time together(^^)
My sister, cousin and I went to Uniqro (clothing store) and got a Jacket for Jason.
Because Ren fell sleep right before we went, and my dad was home,
I could go without Ren.
Yea, alot easier to shop lol

(Ren can do piece now)

And Today, my mom was announced that she is moving the school she will teach next school year.
She was so tired and stressed out, so we went out to eat for dinner at Fracasso.
Here is my sister (Tomo oba) and my dad (Jiji)


and Me(mama) and my mom(Ohbo)


When the waiter brought us food, I remembered I wanted to take pictures,
but once he put food down in front of me, I forgot everything and started eating.
So here is the picture of my empty plate lol.
I had Sea Food Red peppered pasta (called peperontino)
Other than this, we ordered salad, pizza etc...
Ren loved the pizza!!
My mom had free drink and desert coupon, so we had little ice cream☆
I had mango flavored one.


And here is what happen pretty much every night, espacially when we go out somewhere.

Yep, we can sleep anywhere forever.
Ren is loving being loved by my parents, and they are loving to love Ren.
Tomorrow is my mom's B-Day, so it will be busy day again.
I am having so much fun here with my family.
Thank you, Jason (^^)

It's already been 1 week...

Here is some of events we did so far.

Ren and I went little walk on Monday.


My neighbors rice field.
Ren is still Ren in Japan lol



He reminded me my childhood...



It's still same view...
(white house on right side is my house)




I used to shortcut to go home...
walk the edge of rice field, fell sometimes lol




and we went to kindergarten that I went to.
everything is still same.

I used to think these tires were so big, that I needed to climb up.



I think this cage is from my house...
We donated our bird when I was 6, so...I am this bird is not sameone,
but the cage is at least 18 years old.
It was already old when we gave it to them....



It's still same (even though they added little bit)
When I was a student of this kinder, I thought everything was so big,
it took forever to get back to classroom...
everything is so small now, but the little hill (by the car) is still there.
I used to feel that hill was like a mountain.




Same classroom...


That was our littel walk....
On Tuesday, Ren, my sister, and I went to stay at my aunt's house.
We shopped, went to Onsen (public bath), visited my cousin's house.

Playing Wii.
Thursday, we went to Kobe for outlet mall.
Including all kids, 8 of us fitted in Serena.
All stores were kinda expensive stores, so I didn't buy much, but it was fun.
It rained little, so it was littel cold, but Miku, Rui, and Ren were running around all over.
I got couple of skirt, shirts etc...
Right before we left the mall, we ate littel snack.

I forgot the name, but it's egg balls with octopas in it.
You dip egg balls into the soup.
It's SOOOO good!!!



One of cute pics.
Yes, they are related.


After eating crapes and egg balls.


On the way home, we stopped at rest area, ate dinner, took some pics.

My sister is moving back to home, so my dad and sister went to her apartment
to grab everything, my mom is at work.
Me and Ren just staying home eating, watching TV etc...
I am supposed to clean up my stuff that have been staying for 5 years in basement...

Having Fun v(^^)v

It's been 3 days since we got to Japan.
The flight was OK...I think, some craziness, some nice time.
We got to airport just in time, but didn't have enough time to change Ren, so

took off SLC with pj.


changed in San Fransisco.

Shopped in duty free stores, bought some for my fam.

Waited for next plane to Japan!


Of course, some silly face of Ren.



Plane was old, so DVD player died 30 min. after we took off.

Ren got a own seat this time.



30 min. after taking off San Fransisco...Ren's first nap time.

I was falling sleep, but tried to be awake.

Ren was coloring for a while, and noticed he was like this...



We had ok time in the plane.



Because he was playing like this whole time.



Of course silly face...



Ate ALOT of snak and candies.



And, slept more. which was nice, but he was sleeping during meal times.

He didn't eat any plane meals which made me easier to eat mine, but he was hungry, so ate more candy...

There was one open seat, so we had 3 seats.

He could lay down like this.


I LOVE the view from plane, its so beautiful...

Its so high, clear, blue...
Always reminds me things I should always remember...

Landing to Narita.
You can kinda see Toyko tower.
It was so cloudy, I could not see any part of mount Fuji


After the happening of almost losing portable DVD player; actually lost once;

finally got on the plane to Hiroshima!

It's 2:30 am in Utah at this time.



Of course he kept saying "TV~~~"

Ren...TV is dead for 10 hours now...I was gonna charge at the airport which I couldnt do even for a min.

At least we got player back,,,,ganbare for another hour!!! ...please.



Silly face again.



After our plane took off, he fell sleep right away, and plane was shaking so bad, I needed to hold Ren pretty much whole time.



one of Ren's shots, pretty good!
After we got to Hiroshima, met my family and went to Sushi restaurant.
Every time we go to Japan, my mom prepares lots of food, and we go eat, and stuff

BUT
We have been just sit and walk some for last 18 hours, and ate 3 meals and many snacks, so
I am not hungry.....

I ate manybe 5 dishes of sushi....may not even be 5...

BUT

it was GOOD☆

I forgot that good fish was sweet, good rice is shiny.
Of course there are more storeis of Ren, flight, baggage, etc....
I fell sleep right after I opened all of my stuff.. I couldnt even enjoy bathtime.

Next morning, first thing I eat every time is RICE!
Those who know one of my favorite food, Look at this size of Ume.

This Kishu Ume is $6 for 9 pieces.
Kishu Ume is the BEST ume in Japan.
Some of the most expensive one is like $30 for just ONE ume
It's little salty but sweet at the same time, matches the best in hot rice.
I ate 2 and a half bowl of rice with one Ume.
As usual, I ate total 5 bowl of rice in this morning.

Ren's 3rd cousins came to see us.
From the back, Miku(8) Rui(5) Ren(2).
Ren's head was defnitely bigger than Rui's...lol






And Saturday, we went to our friend's wedding party.
They looked so happy, and we are so happy he found a pretty wife.


Sunday, me, Ren, and my fahter went to church.

My sister graduated from college today, so my mother went to graduation.
And I met 3 of my friends from highschool.

It's been 6 years (since graduation day) to see 2 of them.
We talked alot about everything, and had fun time.

Of course took Prikura.


Every time I go back, the purikura machines get bigger, better, more complecated...
But still $4, GREAT!

So, tomorrow (I guess today) still thinking if I wanna go to my aunt's house....

Of course I want to, but there are things I need to do such as getting insurance, cleaning my stuff, etc

haa.....I get sleepy around 9 every day...I haven't even watched any TV yet.

Well, at least I am having super fun, and so is Ren☆

I really wish you could come with us, Jase...
