We love Family!

We have had a wonderful time with The Great Grandma Betty Jo, the Marvelous Grandpa MArk, and the Lovely Grandma Mildred. Here's some highlights of the last couple of weeks:

Going to the beach:
Saying Howdy to the Paniolos Going to Laupahoehoe point


Matt grilled 20 lbs of grass-fed burgers, also: red chinese hot-dogs, balsamic-marinated eggplant, and lemon-olive oil asparagus. Grandma and Pa engineered Nasa-scale quantities of the most amazing potato salad ever to grace a luau. And that's saying something! We had Rosie's slightly belated one-year party at the beach!

Picking snails and kales from the garden, both for eating. We ate the kale and the chickens ate the snails.
Throwing rocks
Wading with grandpa


lying on the grass
chatting on the phone



playing piano in Relief Society

And here's some nostalgia: last year's mothers' day:


And this year's mothers' day:






We visited the Laupahoehoe train museum



and celebrated my birthday, twice!

All of this was quite exhausting

But Rosie perfected the invigorating lava-sand scrub, as well as the yogurt-papaya facial.
Happy Birthday to me!
"Woah, I'm so cute!"



Thanks for coming! We love you!
