Dear Poor Neglected Blog

I am sorry you have not been given much attention latey. I still love you. But I have been giving some attention to some other items in my life and a few new interests. I will attach a few photos of some of them below. ;-)

Love,
Matti







Some light house-cleaning...



Some time alone with my girl...



His his first bath (and a few more since then).


A little sillyness


See the buldge in her jammies? That is her baby...and I think a blankey, and a binky (pacifier) and eventually that spray too! No wonder kids love footed jammies! There is room to store all your favorites and lifes essentials.
Some new tricks that Grandma taught us (This girl LOVES puzzles)



Watching this guy get chunky (13 lbs plus already!)






Finding and learning about life's hidden treasures





Dealing with some heavy items


Pondering
Taking time to get a little rest


Exploring a sea of endless possibilities


Seeing new friendships start and watching a new love grow




For me...life is amazing and I have been very blessed.

As I sat and scarfed tortilla chips...

I created a blog *munch munch* dedicated to my weight loss *crunch crunch* pursuit since today marks the end of my 6 week rest *munch munch* as prescribed and commanded by my doctor *munch munch munch munch*. So, since *crunch crunch* I am planning to work out regularly again, I guess that means I need to start eating a little better*munch munch*. (ie: less cookie dough and chips, more carrots and celery). So, my new blog will probably talk a little about that too. scarffed

I just thought it would be fun to have a little something to track my progress and it will hopefully keep me motivated. So if you would like to track my progress :-), congratulate, console, or council me... please go to this here new blogspot. And if you would like to try to lose some too, maybe some of my ideas can help ya! ;-)

"The sun is like happy medicine!"

(Words of wisdom by Jonathon )

And lately we have been getting a lot of medicine (thank heavens!)

It started at last Friday's Aloha Beach Day! I had fun the night before making these creations


And serving them to kiddos like these...
This baby stood guard over the goodies....

While this girl had a blast!

Unfortunately my batteries died after I took a few photos. ;-(

And today the medicine kept on coming. We headed over to our favorite neighborhood beach, and guess who was there to meet and greet us?!




This Guy! ...or girl maybe?

Yup! Right there in our favorite swimming hole!

And he did his thing while Eden did hers!












And Dadda did his...



And Brooke did hers...
And Grandma did hers...

And Texton did his too...



Then she was tuckered out and brrr!



(And thanks Texton! For loaning Eden your onesie. Mamma applied sunscreen twice but the happy medicine seemed to still be trying to burn her little shoulders and head! But we had fun every minute!)
