Arizona and Savannah's 8th birthday

Last night in Arizona we went to San Tan Flats - country music, great burgers, and fire pits to make S'mores. Couldn't ask for anything better. Fun time with Brian, Danielle, Drew and Ayden.
Arizona style baseball - Giants vs. White Sox - Ayden ran the bases after the game and got a baseball. Great game.

Clark is 3! Almost

Clark's birthday is April 20th but with baby sister coming soon he celebrated today by going to Pump It Up Junior with his friends and family. Here are some early pictures of the birthday boy!

Everyone had a wonderful time on the slides and bounce houses, then with the chocolate cake and presents!

Bitty Booties in Kona

I have been working on booties for 3 pregnant friends...all of which are having boys. Alli got some booties from a friend of hers who got me started. These cute little booties are not easy because they are so small. Still they are cute. I'm going to finish about 12 pairs and then sign off on these so look fast.

Kona Happenings

Jeanie and I went to quilting then out to lunch for her birthday. Jeanie has a solid group of friends and this was a fun lunch. Of course afterwards some of us went to the quilt store so that was icing on the cake .....well, there was no cake actually. I made her a spice cake for her birthday and it was yummy.

 Here are pictures of Jeanie winding the warp on her reel, but of course you knew that. 
 Here I am sewing on the lanai. This is paradise!

 See if you can spot Paul inching over the rocky shore to get out to snorkeling. Hint: he's not in a gang even though he's "claiming" colors.

As you can tell, we are warping the loom before we load the heddles. 

This is my first experience downloading pictures onto my notebook then off to the blog. I didn't have editing software so hopefully you can see what you need to see.  We are having a great time with Jeanie and Bob. Aloha!
