Family Frisbee at the Beach

Last weekend we had a great time with mom, Larry and Ty (and Manh!). Of the many awesome things we did (including but not limited to eating điểm xấm, stuffing ourselves with boba, pizza night, driving around for an hour looking for our hotel at 1:00 am, etc), frisbee at the beach will probably be the longest lasting memory. Maybe because of the bruises. Or maybe hitting the guy's truck while he was sitting in it. Or maybe hitting the vw bus AND THEN the nice car with the alarm. Or spraying sand all over the sunbathers. Whatever reason it might be, we'll remember this trip because of the frisbee.

This weekend was reminiscent of last year when we did some serious ice blocking at Sugarhouse. Here's a video we put together of the event:

Our Family Connection

We have come to a conclusion that Ben's blog is for "ranting" purposes and this will be our blog to serve as a connection from our "2-persons" family to yours. Update! Update! Fresh of the computer "press," come and get it!!!! Since we like to think we are bilingual, we're going to try it in Tiếng Việt.

Hai đứa này đã quyết định là cái blog của Ben là để dành cho sự "mát dây" của chàng. Và cái blog này sẽ là đường dây "móc nối" từ tiểu gia đình tới đại gia đình. Mong rằng mọi người cứ thoải mái nói chuyện vì mình là người nhà cả mà!!!! Ben và Mai Vi rất nhớ mọi người và mong gặp mặt "soon." BMV thích nghĩ là mình thông thạo hai thứ tiếng nên sẽ cố gắn viết tiếng Việt và Mỹ nhưng "sometime" sự thật hơi phủ phàn!

Love (thương),
Ben & Mai Vi (a.k.a. BMV)
p.s. Tuấn và Thư là con của chị Liên và anh Thiện, gia đình của BMV chỉ có 2 người và sẽ không có thay đổi "anytime soon" but we love our niece and nephews.

Tet pictures - on the way!

Hello All! We're pretty beat from last weekend. Tet seems to have that effect on us. We're now focusing on the replacing the floor. See Ben's personal blog for a few of our pictures. We'll be taking a break for a few weeks, then posting all of our pictures in a slideshow, so we'll see you then!

bmv wedding - behind the scenes

Being the beginning of the year, I thought I'd give you guys a look into what we did to plan for our wedding. It started in January (whether we knew it or not!) and lasted up until the wee hours of the morning on the day of. As you will soon see, we had tons and tons of people helping us out - THANKS YOU SO MUCH! We couldn't have done it without you. Please click on the picture to view slideshow:

Our attempt at a snow storm

This is what you get with people from SoCal in Utah for Christmas who are dead set on bringing back pictures of snow - like snowing - when there's not a snowcloud in sight...
