Thomas at 6 Months

He Sits, He Crawls and he gives you his Sassy Pose!

 

 Is this a sweet happy boy or what!

 

I got to see Alex, Lauren, and Thomas last week.  It was great.  Thomas is a very good baby.  While I was in NC, Thomas taught himself how to sit up and almost how to crawl.  He already gets around pretty good, but he's a commando type crawler.  I loved seeing him up on his hands and feet...he had no idea what to do next.

Saucy pose.

Sitting up

 Who does this look like!

Making a move to sit up.

Almost there.

Yah Thomas!!!!!

This wore him out.

Sweet Family.

Pregnant Lindsey

Lindsey had to travel to southern Utah for work and brought Jacob with her.  Then they stayed an extra day so they could visit Zion National Park.  Here is a pic of pregnant Lindsey and the guy who made her that way! 

SUGAR... A Unique Way To Present This.

4.2 grams = 1 teaspoon of sugar = 1 cube ! Someone ought to get an award for this.

  

We know the facts, but this
Brings it into perspective quickly, doesn't it?   Each cube is a teaspoonful.

   

Now someone needs to do this with salt/sodium!
'When someone shares something of value
With you and you benefit from it, you have

A moral obligation to share it with others." So send it on!!

Spring on Maui

We don't really have season's here, it's either sort of hot, hot and really hot.  So I guess, early summer, summer and dog days of summer.

But to remedy not having a spring or even winter, I found these at Safeway!

I wished I had captured them with their yellow blooms, but you get the idea.  Some day I want a back field with Forsythia in the distance, and Red Bud trees on the edge of the forest!

And then there were four - Garden Beds that is

I put in one garden bed on the side of the house to see how it would work...I was concerned there wouldn't be enough sun.  And it worked, so I added in two more.  Then winter came, well at least Maui winter and the sun moved.  Not enough sun, just like I thought.


So, I had Bill build me one more bed, and I have been laboriously moving dirt, from one bed to the next.  I treat it like exercise...a little bit each day.  I enjoy getting sweaty, but I surely would not want to do this everyday for a living. 

This is me....moving dirt.

I guess I need glasses to see the dirt, although she is who is about to turn 50 says "I only need them for reading...."

This is my butt, moving dirt.

Now there are two beds!

And finally four. 

And here is a Lima Bean coming up.  Bill loves lima beans.

Hi Family

Lindsey and Jacob are excited to announce they are going to have a baby in August (not that it's about me or anything, but just in time for my 50th!).  Here, the baby is saying Hi!!!!  Hi Baby!

Yep, this girl........

And this boy.......
