First trip to Rainier for the kids!

This is Jon. Jerrod, Dad and I wanted to do something different for the kids the day before the Guddat Family Reunion and it was pretty clear very early on that a trip to Paradise on Mount Rainier was the only thing we wanted to do. Rainier is God's gift to us Pacific Northwesterners. Being the expert he is of the surrounding area, Dad picked out a trail that wasn't too difficult for the kids' first time on the mountain.

Picture perfect sight.

The kids enjoyed their ice cream cones at the visitors center after the hike.

Four great views here: My wife, my kids, my car, the mountain.

Delaney was on Grandpa JeGu's shoulders helping him take the picture.

Jeffery, Delaney and Jayden frolicking along the path.

I love how Delaney is holding on to her grandpa.

The grandkids after a hard climb!

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders.

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!
