Liv sews!

Olivia has become a sewing demon. She made herself and two frineds a towel dress for a beach trip they were going on. She had Holman model her creation. She also made a lounge pantset. She is so talented!

Pomegranate tree.

We have over 200 mesquite trees on our property but only one fruit bearing tree, the lone pomegranate tree. One of the places I worked at this summer was Botanical Gardens and I learned so much about plant care. I added fertilizer and a would chips to retain moisturizer. I wish the monsoons did the watering! I burmed up my pomegrante tree. I really hope i can get this tree fruiting again. I just made up a word fruiting.

Cruising Alaska!

We went on an amazing Alaskan cruise with my siblings and parents. It was breath taking. I could easily live in Alaska.....at least in the summer time. We were gone for 7 days of pure bliss. We went on a 22 mile bike ride, went on a whale watching tour, took a train to Canada, watched a lumberjack show, toured the state capital builing, wathced Salmon swim up hill, got yelled at by an indigiones woman for taking pictures of kids swimming at the bay, watched Argentina battle it out for the World Cup, got a spa massage, rode in a sea plane and ate copious amounts of yummy food!! So many highlights and at the top was spending time with some of my most favorite people. What a trip!!

t to hit befor he turns 50. 50 states before 50. I was so lucky that the Holman family was willing to make Alaska a family reunion. It has been on my parents bucket list and it was a trip of a life time. We love cruising for the variety of ports the designated meal times and no discussion on where to eat. It was dreamy. 7 nights of pure relaxation. I usually always get a little itchy for home but not this time.

I have really missed teaching and having this new assignmnet has been really fun. Especailly since Addrian is in the class she truly is my go to girl when I am in desperate need of a comment.
