Grammar Test

While being in Japan we noticed that they do use English words sometimes.  Things weren't always in Japanese.  We also noticed that they misspell the English words!  We had a good laugh at this first picture!  Try saying RORD CLOSURE and you can't help but laugh.  Also notice the whole sign... look how they spelled inconvenience!  Classic.  How many misspelled words can you find?

This building was trying to say happiest paradise not happoest!  

I don't have a picture of it but when we went to the ski resort they had a map of the area and in the terrain park they had a "Harf Pipe"  instead of a "Half Pipe"  

 

I will have to post other pictures and actually talk about out trip, but I don't have time right now so maybe another day!  

Our Spring Break

Here are some pics from our Japan trip!

Ski Bums

I just thought I would blog about what we have been up to lately.  Basically school, work, and skiing The Beav.  Okay well Clark goes skiing, I work!  I think Clark has been over 20 times this year, he is definitely a ski bum!  

I had to show this picture.  Every time I have been skiing they have given me a white sticker or a shade of pink!  Which you can tell totally matches my whole ensemble.  I just went up last Friday with Adrienne and what color of sticker did they give me....PINK!  I think I can get in a few more ski days so we will see if the tradition continues.

OH and I'm going to Japan in 7 DAYS!!  Just thought you would all like to know!

Wedding Shower

Last Saturday I went to a wedding shower for my cousin Adam's fiance Heidi. My aunt and my cousins are so creative.  They came up with the "Tea Party" theme Love is brewing!  They had different tea pots and tea sets as the decor and we had little sandwiches with colored bread, mini desserts, fruit and veggies w/ dip. It was so cute and the food was delicious.  I didn't get pictures of all the food but check out my cousin Megan's blog for more photos!

My aunt Sherrie (her son is the one getting married) and cute baby Samuel!

Baby Blessing & Birthday

Yesterday was my nephew Jack's blessing.  He did so good up there, and Clark claims he smiled at him in the circle... yes Clark's eyes were open!

Being held by Grandma Lorie

He is wearing an outfit homemade by his Grandma on Tyler's side.

Also my nephew Max (Jack's older brother) has a birthday today!

Happy 3rd Birthday to Maximo!

My sister Adrienne and I decided to make Max's birthday cake.  It turned out alright except for my lettering and the fact that the cake was cracking down the middle.  We improvised by filling the cracks with "rocks"  It was a true construction cake!

They came to my  house on Friday to hang out so I snapped some photos!

They are so stinkin' cute

29 Days and Counting

We are getting so excited for our trip to Tokyo over Spring Break!  I took a picture of Clark's empty suitcases, because I wish they were full of clothes and on there way to Japan.

We are going to try and go skiing while we are out there.  This is the ski resort that we would go to.  It is called Appi Kogen

It looks pretty cool, and it says it is comparable to Aspen.  I'm just excited to say that I've now skied in Austria/Switzerland and soon Japan.  

Shibuya Square

I'm assuming it is similar to Time Square in NY, but with a lot more people.

We are leaving on Thursday March 5th and we will arrive in Tokyo on Friday March 6th.  Brad (Clark's brother) said we will stay in Tokyo that  night instead of driving home to their house which is on Yokota Air Force Base.  I'm not sure how far that is from Japan, 

I think he said about an 1-2 hour drive.  

Thanks to my mom we bought our tickets last weekend at the cheapest price we could find.  I looked the other day and they have all gone up a little in price, so we are so glad we bought them when we did.  My mom put them on her credit card since we don't own a credit card 

and we are paying her back! THANKS MOM!  

I'm not looking forward to the LONG FLIGHT, but I do have a book I have to read for one of my classes so I guess that's what I'll be doing on the 16+ hour flight.
