We've been having a lot of fun
They brought a special gift for Sean

Yes, I who is 8month pregnant went with them:)

夏 Summer

最近３０℃を超える日が続いています
暑い・・
でも乾燥している分
クーラーなんて要りません
日本の夏とは大違いです
手作りスムージーさえあれば
この暑さはしのげます！
Lately, we've been having some hot days
but it's a dry heat
so we don't really need an AC
It's such a difference from the summer in Japan
We just need a cup full of homemade smoothie
and that's all we need to cool off!

我が家の小さなパティオ
ハーブや花を植えて楽しんでいます
Our small patio
we planted some flowers and herbs
and are enjoying our "gardening"

祖父と叔父 Grandpa and Uncle

イアンのお父さんと
先日伝道から帰還したばっかりのイアンの弟アレックが
１１時間かけてユタから車で来てくれました
３日間だけの短い間だったけど
楽しかったです
特にアレックも日本語がぺらぺらになっていたのには
驚いたプラス嬉しかったです
Ian's dad and his brother who just returned from the mission
drove all the way from Utah to visit us
It took 11hrs.. Thank you, papa and Alec for all the efforts!
They were here for only 3days but we had a lot of fun
It was surprising for me to see Alec speaking Japanese fluently
but more than that,
I was so happy to be able to communicate in my native language with him

ビーチ Beach

ハワイに住んでいた私たちは
海のないコロラドに来て以来
ビーチが恋しくて仕方ありません
ということで
ビーチを探して
見つけました！
その名もビックソーダレイク
そうです
湖です・・
After living in Hawaii, then moving to Colorado
where there is no ocean,
we've missed visiting the beach very much.
So, we looked around,
and actually found one!
It's called "Big Soda Lake".

まずはパンツをぬいで・・
It was pretty hot today

First, Sean took off his pants and sandals..

それから滑って全身びしょ濡れに・・
Then, he slipped and fell into the water, soaking him from head to toe..

After the last snow in the middle of May,

Spring is my favorite season.
And one of my favorite things in spring

寝床 Bed

もう少ししたらお兄ちゃん
ということで
幼児ベットを中古屋で購入
ここ５日間ここで寝ています
ベビーベット卒業のようです
"Where the Wild Things Are"のデコレーション
も気に入っているようです
Since this guy is becoming a BIG brother,
we purchased a toddler bed
for him at a thrift store
He's been sleeping on this for 5day now
It seems like he graduated from his baby bed
He likes the decoration on the wall, too!

A big brother who doesn't know what is happening exactly..

死んだ人の日？ The Dead Guy's Day

今日は隣町のネーデルランドへ行きました
昔、冷凍人間になった人がここの町にいるらしく、
今日はその人のお祭り？でした
で、この祭りにわざわざ来た理由は
以前、この町でイアンが友達になった、チェーンソー職人のおじさん
今回の祭りの為に作る像のデザインをあらかじめ考えていたおじさんが、
イアンにそれを絵にするように依頼
これがその時イアンが描いた絵　

Today, we went to a town called Nederland
A long time ago, there was a guy in this town
whose family members froze his dead body in dry ice
So to commemorate this, the town established a holiday called "Frozen Dead Guy Day"!
The reason why we went there was to see a statue
that a chain saw artist created for this year's celebration.
When we met this artist for the first time,
he asked Ian to draw a picture of the statue for him
so that he could have a reference to look at while making the statue.
Here is the picture that Ian drew for him
そしてこれが実際におじさんが彫った像
This is the finished statue

普段は熊をメインで彫られています

He ususally does the bears
