Ryan's birthday was on January 9th. As it was HIS special day, he wanted to go to Sushi, so did Kayla, so I was outvoted:( We went to Blowfish Sushi--it was kind of a mod sushi place (complete with techno music) which you wouldn't necessarily picture children in (or US for that matter, because we're so not that cool), but they had multiple flat screens situated around the dining room with anime (of course) playing. The kids dug it. And the food. Me too actually (although make no mistake, I ate nothing that hadn't been cooked), we'll definitely do it again.
And to top off the evening, I went to an authentic Mexican bakery in East San Jose to get him his favorite, Tres Leches cake. Delish.
AND as if that wasn't enough, he got not one, but TWO calendars of TWO of his favorite things: VW Vanagons and wooden boats! (Kayla only smiles for pictures when you don't actually want her in the picture).

Then he went to Thailand for two weeks for Navy Reserve...this is where he stayed...and I stayed home with the kids...that's fair...
But he did bring us back some local treasures! Not pictured: 2 pieces of "designer" overnighter luggage for me, a purse, 2 wallets, pair of cute heels...he definitely came home with more than he left with! So, we took the gifts and forgave him for living in 5-star luxury for 2 weeks.
And of course, it wasn't ALL that bad staying home, thanks to my Mom! She came up and spoiled us for 2 weeks and we had a great time too! Thanks mom/Grandma Rose, we love you, but we're glad to have Ryan back too!

Thailand for 2 weeks, kids for 2 weeks...hmm... Let me think on that. At least you did get lots of goodies.
Fun pictures! And i'm with you... I can't eat anything that's not cooked!
