Jon and Brittany Loose in Victoria, BC!







This is Jon. Brittany and I went to Victoria to see her friend, Cassandra, get married and we tried to get as much in as we could in 24 hours. We walked around the Inner Harbour (Canadians put "u" in everything, and spell everything with an "re" instead of "er") which included the Parliament Building (in lights in one of the pictures) the famous Empress Hotel and stopped in all the shops in the downtown tourism district. Our hotel room looked like we stepped into the 1920s, including a real fireplace and big windows that overlooked the streets below. There was a pub underneath the hotel, too, which I added some class to Friday night. We got gelato, which is a different way of making ice cream. All I know is that the ice cream "loafs" were probably the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. The ferry ride home was a bit crazy with the boat really rocking and the waves crashing over the bow (isn't that the front of the boat?). It was awesome, except for Brittany who got seasick, but I took care of her because all she had to do was hold tight on to me since I'm as stable as a rock (for some reason I didn't get seasick). Great time, we hope to go back soon.

Quarterly update from KTown

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten...

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four! Addy Bear with her new Barbie Bike. Two lovely ladies... Getting ready to dig in... She looks like she's ready to hit the town in her new outfit. A big boost in her piggy bank! My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!
