The Guddat Gang

This is Jon. I'm on vacation this week. It's been great to give Brittany some much deserved down time and be able to hang out with the girls. Some might question my parenting, but one person who won't is my four year old, as Adelyn constructed a pile of pillows and blankets (she called it her "jump pile")to soften the blow of diving off chairs and the couch.

There was a jump on the end of it that I was planning on hitting a lot better than I did. Luckily the left side of my face broke my fall. The Ellensburg Rodeo arena from the top of Craig's Hill. My girls and their friend in ...

This is Jon. As you can see, I've jumping around the seasons with the blog. I've finally uploaded a few of Delaney's school Christmas pictures and a video.

This is Jon. It seems as though the free time to blog is non-existent. Here's a quick update of the last month or so. Grandma Debbie made the girls jewelery and they wear it non-stop. The girls were striking so many poses that it was difficult to get them to stand still and look at the camera. I think it's better this way anyway. Delaney was a junior Kittitas cheerleader as a kindergartner last year and jumped at the chance of doing it again this year. Adelyn was super proud of her sister. My three cheerleaders...
