Hope my Sister had a good Birthday

Welcome home Ron and Dorothy can't wait hear about your trip to Alaska.

Happy Birthday

Today is my Big Sisters Birthday I would tell you how old she is but that would not be very nice but I'm sure at 65 she has lost a lot muscle and would have a hard time killing me. Mom and I are looking forward to her visit to Calif.

Happy Birthday Renate

July 2 were did the month of June go

Kayley turned 5 years old on June 20 th Everyone had such a good time at her Birthday Party

After the party we went over to swimming pool it was so hot in San Jose the swim felt great. I was happy to get back to Monterey were it was cooler.

Ean loves to swim

Lacey came back with Tara and I for the weekend . Omi and I had time to teach her how to knit the evening before going to the Monterey Aquarium.

Libby found it to just to much

Lacey liked it a lot and I think she learned a lot about our ocean she was able to do a lot of hand on in the tide pools while we were their we made plans to spend Mother's Day 2009 at the Zoo in San Francisco.

What is that???

Mom don't let me get wet

This is cool

It was a long weekend for me but I hope Lacey had a good time and will come back for a visit soon.

Tara and I took Nathan for a swim at the Monterey Sports Center he seemed to like the water a lot

But he was more then ready to go home after 2 hours and take a nap

Then we were invited to Uncle Ron's and Aunt Dorothy to celebrate Teddy's Graduation from High School the food was really good but sorry to say we did not get any of my brother great looking Cheese Cake do to having to weigh in Monday at Weight Watchers. Boy that was so hard for us. But we did have some chicken which was very good and I love the Sweet Potato salad.

This dog is much bigger then Miss Libby

The hot tub was so nice

An update on the Weight Watchers

102 pounds total lost for Tara and I ...................Oh my

Tara has lost the must at 71.8 pounds and I'm at 31. We cannot thank the folks at WW and our group that meets every Monday are great. Our road to eating right and living happy will continue for a long time to come. It's not just the pounds that are melting away but our cloths are just hanging on us. I went from size 18 to a size 8 in pants and they are getting to big my tops were a 2X and know xL is to big. Tara is having the same problem what a nice problem it is her last outfit that she had on was just to big for her. If we can just hold off on new cloths for a few more months.

Started a new sock today toe up I have never done that before the pattern is from a group that doing a knit a long will have photo's soon.

My vest is done and looks good .
