Summer is coming to a close, and with it will go things like eating fresh fruit and swimming in the plastic pool in the back yard. Hinckley has really enjoyed both of these to a large degree. His favorite outside activity however is not swimming, it is eating grapes! As soon as one of us takes him outside he starts pointing and grunting at the grape arbor with a startling intensity.

Of the many things we love about UT, the farmer's market and the natural beauty are among the top. We've enjoyed having such fresh wonderful produce available in our own backyard and of course at the BYU stadium farmer's market on Thursdays.

Beautiful flowers!

Having a temple so close is a huge plus, though with a baby we've realized how hard it is to get there still.
We are still eating our WFPB way, and enjoying it very much. Recently we tried our hands at making "cheesecake" which we found to be extremely tasty. We played around with a few different flavors including chocolate, peanut butter, and blueberry.
School started for me this past week (Greg) and I am really enjoying that. Meanwhile, Hinckley is keeping Kas very busy at home as he is playing with the idea of walking and is relentless in exploring new places and areas.
It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...
Tomorrow is our baby's due date! We don't think he will come tomorrow, but one never knows. Here are some pics from this week. School is going pretty well for me, though I transition to writing/reading from doing math for the past two weeks so I am a little nervous about that. The view from the bus just before I get off and start teaching for the day. Usually I am barely awake at this point. Awesome panorama of our classroom. It has taken a lot of work to get all this stuff up, but it could still use lots more! Here is a view of the front of the classroom, along with our space ship behavior chart and so forth. I decided to see what would happen if I didn't shave during the week This was the result. Kas is feeling quite big, and ready for the man child to come out! This week Kas learned how to make homemade yogurt - or at least how to extend the yogurt you already have. The latest creative masterpiece from Kassie is this littl...
New Room We made the move, and Hinckley now has his own room. This has meant more sleep for Kassie (she doesn't wake up at any slight rustle of noise coming from his direction), and more sleep for Hinckley (he doesn't wake up when I get up in the morning to get ready for work). It is sort of sad and crazy that he is out of the room, and on his way to be a toddler. But that is what happens! One of the first nights in H's own room. New Etsy Shop It was about 2 weeks ago that Kas began working towards opening her own Etsy shop . It has been fun to watch her make things and play around with the best way to get people to see her stuff. She is really creative and simply enjoys making things. We aren't looking to make a fortune or anything, but it would be nice to have a fun hobby, and have it pay for itself! Check it out! If you know of anyone that is looking for baby products, come look at Kassie's site. More products will be coming. ...
Wonderful!
