The girls and the garden

This is Jon. Thought I would update you on the garden and throw a couple of photos in of the girls as well.


Delaney has always been able to swing in the big girl swing ever since we got the swing set/big toy last year. Adelyn is just now getting comfortable with the big girl swing, but isn't as much of a daredevil on it yet. However, the girl has no sense of fear at times on other playground big toys, which causes plenty of fear with both me and Brittany!

This is after picking very little of our Rainier Cherry tree in our back yard. Not sure how many more I'm going to get since the birds are really getting to the cherries that are above 10 feet in the tree. For some reason our apricots aren't ripening as quickly as last year, so I figure we've got another couple of weeks before we can pick those.

This is one angle of the garden. Five rows of corn total, obviously the most dominant part of the garden. The cucumbers, carrots and beans aren't coming in as well as hoped and the pumpkins are barely coming up. It's still fun to watch it grow, but not as fun to battle weeds and bugs. The apricot tree is at the end of the garden along that wooden thigh-high fence.

Another view, with the cherries barely in view at the top of the photo.

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!
