Tanaka farm

We had a field trip with Ms. Le's class to go to Tanaka Farm. Tanner and his friends had so much fun. We got to go on a wagon ride and tasted some fresh veggies and fruits. At the end of our trip we got to pick our own strawberries. We could eat as many as we could and took some of them home too. What a fun field trip.


Checking out the farm.


Corn! shouted Tanner.


"Yummm," I could stay and eat as many strawberries here. I don't want to go home.

Letter and Pictures from home

I am always looking forward for the weekly letter and pictures email from Elder and Sister Bennett who are finishing their mission in my little branch. My family and the people in Semarang will miss them so much. My father spoke a great deal about their hard work, services, and generosity.


My nephew Ganang, my Dad, Sis. and Eld. Bennet, my Mom, nephew Dimas, sister Enny and niece Bintang on Eld. and Sis. Bennet 50th anniversary.


"Wayang Kulit" the shadow puppet, a traditional play based on the Hindu's story which became a part of Javanese Culture for entertainment on special occasions.


"Dokar" or "Andong," a traditional transportation pulled by a horse. They think this is the solution to the rocketed gas price.

Huntington Library

Maly's family (parents and sister's) were in town for a week. We decided to join them to eat dim sum and went to the Huntington Library on Thursday. It was fun till I lost Martin and Tanner.


Auntie Colleen and Tanner. Colleen took a day off and joined us too.


It was Martin's birthday so he had a day off too. Now he knows what he'd been missing while he's at work :).


Maly, her family, and everybody is enjoying the beautiful garden with the water fountain.

It is almost like in a different country.

Old roomates

Sippy, her family of four, and her sister, Pon were visiting from Northern California. It was a wonderful reunion to see Pon again (after 10 years). Sippy and Pon were my BYU roommates. We had a nice dinner hosted by Maly at her house on Tuesday. Tanner and I decided to join them to Disneyland the next day. We had a great time.


Theb, Sippy, and their boys (Gavrie and Jalen). What a cute family. Gavrie and Jalen are so big now. Jallen just started walking when I last saw them. Theb and Sippy still look the same to me.


Pon is enjoying the famous turkey leg.


Pon, Sippy, and I - catching up.


Tanner fell asleep at the end of California adventure. Auntie Pon decided to give him a "surprise" when he wakes up. He was so happy to eat it. Thank you Auntie Pon.


Tanner is a little bit afraid of Mr. Incredible. He wasn't sure if Mr. Incredible is real.


He is OK with Pluto.
