Visit to Christy and tom Murphy's house

There is a PSNS family here in Yokosuka Japan. This command is really new here and some people in the base never heard of it. But I was thankful that even we are little here, we are considering as a small family. It consists from my hubby's boss Phil Aldridge, and Phil's boss Tom Murphy and up above and its branches to the command.

Actually, they have visitors from the states and they have a drill to be conducted Monday, a day before the holiday here in Japan . This guys are all busy for the upcoming event. They are showing off how cool are they...no! not like that. They are showing stuff that we don't need to know of what is it. Those are classified thing. 

During the dinner at the Murphy's house, we all had fun from the conversation of how life in Japan is. Their visitors does not have an idea how it looks like of living here. Those guys are awesome.  Well, I will upload our photos later then. We have some cool photos

Another day of Benjamin

It's been more than three weeks that Benjamin went to school but he still crying while I am changing his clothes. He does not want to go to school. He cried when he was going inside the bus. I kept telling him that when he find friends then you gonna like to see them everyday.

I felt bad when I saw him crying but he and I are always fighting here at home if I like him to read and write. He is lazy to do it.

We were all had fun doing it. Rene was suggested to load our bake stuff to her car and she will bring it to the base in the morning. I agreed with it because I am not sure if I can come to the base in the next morning.

We had a pretty good sale and I received an email from our president that we earned 800$..cool one

Bake cookies and cake

Christy Murphy was inviting us to bake cookies and cake to her house. Rene Aldridge, Caroline Petunzo and I drove in one car- it is Rene's car.

I bake Mexican Wedding cookies and Rene bake her cake before she left. Caroline did not bake anything and Christy bake a bundt cake. We were having fun in our baking day. We wrapped our stuff and then Rene is going to take it to the bake sale. We have a bake sale and cake auction at SRF main building inside the Naval base in Yokosuka. That is the stuff that we were busying. I just love how the things goes. I found friends here in Japan. Brian and I considered them as family. We are big family- all Brian's co worker.

Happy Benjamin

When the bus drop off Benjamin today, he seemed doing good when I was looking at his face. He looks so happy. He has a smile on his face when he saw me.

He got off on the bus and stand up at the side and say Seinse gekigenyu sayounara and he bowed to his teacher. I was asking to him hows his day. He said it was good and he wanted to come back to school next week. He was having fun. But this morning Yuhko called me and informed that Benjamin got scratch. She said Benjamin bothered the Japanese kid and scratch him. I told her it is okey because are just like that. As long Benjamin is not badly hurt and that is the mother concern.

He was so happy then and he is so excited to see his sister. We walk back home and talk about what he was doing at school. He undo his uniform and change. He just did it by himself. I was asking him if he wanted to wear his Mickey mouse shirt and Donald Duck short pants. He is so cutie and I have a photos of him wearing his uniform with a big smile. No cry cry anymore.

Seika Band Students

The kids were performing a song using their instruments during the commencement exercises. They are also performing if there is activity in Yokosuka Municipalities.

We are hoping that Benjamin will learn to play the Melodion.

Rainy in Disneyland

On the second day of our park visit, rain started to drizzle about noon. I will say we are lucky.
Here we are, wearing our ponchos...

























Toontown Disney Tokyo

Toontown in CA and Tokyo has almost 100% similarities.

This is the entrance at Toontown....
WELCOME TO TOONTOWN BOTH OLD AND YOUNG FOLKS!

Benjamin lost here twice....boy! this kid.






































Mary got sick

Mary got sick after the day we got home from Tokyo Disneyland. She was starting to throw in the morning and not even eat or drink any milk. The first time she threw up is really stinky. Food from the stomach!

Here are some photos of her while she was lying down in the floor. She does not have an energy to get up and play and run around.








Benjamin's first day at school

I figured Benjamin will cry on his first day at school. It was chilly in the outside and this is what Ben's wearing.




He kept saying that he wanted to stay with his Mommy.


He said I am not cute Mommy.... but he still cute on his uniform outfit.


A tears on his eyes made my heart break but he needs to learn and study because if he is home. He is always watching TV... made me upset.




This is his second day at school. The first day, my battery went dead and not even took a photo when he got out in the bus. This is her teacher. Benjamin learn to say 'seinse gokigenyou sayounara" He is really cute because after he said that he bowed down as a sign of respect to his teacher. We kept bowing here in Japan as being a polite and respect other people. Which is really cool and interesting.


BACK TO HOMEPAGE

Benjamin went to Japanese School

Brian and I decided to enroll Benjamin in a Japanese school for his preschool and kindergarten. Sending him to school there is not cheap. Can you imagine that we spent 2 thou dollars for his uniform and tuition fee for one month and entrance fee. I just could not imagine how expensive it is. But it is worth it in the long run if Benjamin knew how to converse, read and write Japanese. That is our main goal. Brian and I will be forcing ourselves to learn Japanese or else our kid is behind from other kids. As what they say, little children can cope up right away if we introduce them a new things to learn.

We are at Venice

Pls click the thumbnails to make the photo bigger. We are Venice! Well, we are at Venice side at Mira Costa Hotel LOL.




Benjamin and Mary were looking down the canal, this was our view in our room. People are in line to ride in the boat. Benjamin kept asking us if we could ride but we did not. It seemed that we overlooked it.


Early morning, Mary wanted to open the window. She could not open it so wide. They put safety latch on kids to keep the kids safe.


She was very persistent in opening the window. Looking down the boat as we pointed it to her. She said" ride" LOL.


You can see the monorail at the farback and also the haunted mansion. This is still the view from our room.







My lovely daughter trying to make a mess.... As always, she is my beautiful and adorable girl. No matter what... hehehehhehe... big MAMA compliments. No objection!

Pls click the tumbnails to make the photo bigger. Have fun viewing.

The Mediterranean harbor, they are getting ready for the show:



The harbor is so quiet and peaceful, lots of people starting to get a place for them to sit or standing up. I was wishing I have a very good view.


The lady was in my way and she was in the photo. I was wishing she was not there in the photo. She is blocking the good view.


The first float coming, not sure who is inside the egg. I just don't have a good view in my end.





Another egg.... coming! not sure who is in there. I need to figure out on the next sets of photos. I think Brian can help me then especially when I am going to scrap it and put it in my album.


I did not get all photos of the egg float as they come by. The lady kept blocking me! But thats all the egg. I just called it an egg LOL.




The float started to move towards at the center
