Christmas with the Guddat Family!

This is Jon. We headed over to Dad and Sharon's house to spend Christmas with my side of the family. Jerrod, Megan and kids were there as well as Jim and Sanda and Great Grandma Guddat.

Let's get right to it: Jim said his presents were going to make him and Sanda "favorites". Since everyone got pillow pets, that statement can't really be debated.


Grandma Sharon and Jocelyn spent time reading a book with everyone.

Grandpa Jeff writing down the house rules. With five cousins, plus newborn Jacob (and Preston to be here soon) we all needed to ensure the house didn't get torn apart.

Back to the gifts: In classic Dad and Sharon form, the cousins' gifts were unique and personalized. Each of them got a book with their names the basis of the story. Really cool.

Adelyn had big hugs for her big cousin Jocelyn.

Jayden was no match for the girls' hugs, as well.

I'm posting this because Jayden looks EXACTLY like Jerrod did at five years old.

Me and my home boy, Jacob.

Not sure why Jerrod can't hold the bottle like 99.9% of the rest of fathers.

Everyone including Grandma Sharon got into the mix.

Is it weird that I wanted a pillow pal? Specifically, I wanted the lady bug.

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!

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

Image
...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.

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
