It's time for the Japanese Bazaar!!!

Looking for something to do this weekend? Our temple is having their annual Japanese Bazaar this weekend...

There will be both Japanese and American food, games for the kids, BINGO, cultural displays and demonstrations etc.

I'll be working in the Gyoza (potsticker) and Salad booth in the kitchen...swing by and say "Hi!"

The Tri-City Voice Newspaper even wrote an article....here is the link, there are a few mis-spellings...but, he gets an A since he was able to put the article on the front page! (http://www.tricityvoice.com/articlefiledisplay.php?issue=2009-07-08&file=story3.txt)

Dilbert and FREE books!

Today is Jordan's last day of classes @ Ohlone for Kids. He really enjoyed both classes, although I don't think they really worked on writing in the Writer's Workshop but, I do know that he love his cartooning class.

I scanned in his Dilbert drawing from yesterday....he did a really good job!
We are not going to church until later this afternoon, so, Neil and I went to Half-Priced Books to turn in his summer reading form. For kids under 12, Half-Priced Books will give them a $3 gift card if they read for a minimum of 15 minutes, 4 days a week...WHAT A DEAL! Neil's book was $2.98, and he didn't even have to pay tax because they deduct the $3.00 before they total the transaction out! I LOVE HALF PRICED BOOKS! If you want your kids to participate...get there quick...the program only goes to July 31st.

Happy Belated 4th!!!

Hi! We have been busy with the SACBC Bazaar preparations...so, this is a little late....Here are some pictures from our 4th of July in Salinas...

The empty fireworks table...this table was FULL of stuff...thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for the ammo...yes, I messed up and didn't take a picture of it when it was full... Uncle Dean helping the kids warm up with some sparklers...

Jordan and Neil playing with their sparklers...it was SOOO SMOKY!

There were these cool glasses in the fireworks box....

This is what it looked like with the glasses on....cool, eh? I'm glad it worked with my camera lens!

Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!!!
