Tyson has become quite the little surfer. He often pipes up and offers to go when Zac mentions he'd like to go surfing. The first time I saw Tyson stand up my heart just about leapt out of my chest; I was so excited--pretty awesome!

A Few More Pictures From My Favorite Beach
We really love China Wall. We call it our family's swimming pool. We especially loved having visitors to take to China Wall to share in our joy. Here are a few from the in-laws' visit and the Johnson family visit. Warning: You might feel a little jealousy.

And my absolute FAVORITE:
My husband rocks!

Halloween 2012
The Morph Suit/Green Man:
Mr. Werewolf:
And the two together make...well I don't know what they make, but I sure had fun seeing them in their costumes this year.
Oh boys!
"16" – For Serious
Yes, we've reached that point. My Tim is now sixteen years old. He can now date and drive. Thankfully, he is still a wonderful kid. He is talented, funny, smart and has great taste in cake. He requested a super-chocolate birthday cake. I did my best–triple chocolate–and it tasted yummy.
Dragon Fruit
We recently tried another exotic fruit–Dragon Fruit. I loved the color. The texture was nice, the taste a little bland, though it had a gentle smack of melon or kiwi. The fruit is super easy to eat; simply cut in half lengthwise and scoop it out like you would an avocado, then cut into edible bite-size pieces. It's wild, the things I'm willing to try these days!

Starfruit
A new first for this week: Starfruit!
A co-worker brought in a sack of these beauties from her tree. I have never tried this type of fruit before; it was delicious--kind of like a plum/grape.
In case you were wondering how to eat a starfruit, I'll provide some directions:
Take the fruit and with a knife, cut off the ends; make a shallow cut down each spine to shave off each hard edge. Then make slices along the fruit to create the star-like shapes this fruit is named for (they are so cute!). You might have to pull out a few small seeds, similar to what you would find in a grapefruit or an orange. Then eat and enjoy! Mmm! So good.
