Tomato Crop

We are getting fresh ripe tomatoes each day now. Thank you to all of our neighbors who helped take care of them while we were out of town.

One of the first things we made with our tomatoes - a fresh corn, bean and tomatoe salad. Yummy!

Abi and Coco Love, Love, Love cousin Alix

The gift of giving

Abi was so excited to give GG and Grandma T their birthday presents. She worked very hard stitching the front of these pillows and I was thrilled to see her feelings of accomplishment and joy when she presented them.

Abi's New Haircut

Abigale got her hair cut yesterday for her first day of Kindergarten on Wednesday. We love it

Dinner at the Belagio

We love the 2nd Saturday Art Walks

We enjoyed the Sacramento 2nd Saturday Art Walk with the Nelsons tonight.

Here are the kids getting down to a Hare Krishna mantra band. We had so much fun we almost converted!

Trip to Utah

We just got back from a 2 1/2 week trip to Utah. Although we are happy to be home it sure was hard saying good-bye to all of our family and friends. We had a wonderful time and want to thank all of you who made our trip so memorable.

Celebrating the 24th of July in Utah is a big deal. Here we are at the annual parade in SLC. The girls were convinced that all of the beauty queens were princesses and they were waving just to them.

Lindsay enjoyed spending time with all of his siblings. It is a very rare occasion when they are all in one place at the same time. Ryan traveled all the way from Indonesia just to make this happen!
