Some early November pictures...

Here's a look at some of the last couple of weeks.
My two little girl scouts joined their troop to celebrate Veterans during Ellensburg's downtown Veteran's Day Parade.
I found the girls looking through their baby books filled with notes, stories and pictures. It was comical to see them react to all the personalized pages and having a difficult time figuring out what baby pic was actually of them. Good weekend activity. Below are a handful of pictures of exploring the Pipe Creek area just below Blewett Pass. Last year Delaney, Adelyn and I found this area while looking for a Christmas tree (Brittany was home mending a recently repaired foot from surgery) and we went to explore it again the other day to identify a few trees suitable to call a Guddat Christmas tree, which we'll probably chop down in early December. I'm telling ya, pay $5 to the US Forest Service, and you get a ton of memories and a tree. Not a bad investment for I think the seventh or eighth year now.
We can't go for a hike without the girls finding a favorite rock and stick. Usually the rocks go in my pocket and the sticks are swung around repeatedly to the sounds of mom and dad disciplining for being careless.
Adelyn thought these two trees, which had fallen over Pipe Creek and rested on other trees, were fascinating.
They all made it over. Adelyn will take risks just to get a rise out of us. Delaney will take risks if I do it. Adelyn gets the attention for it, but in reality, I think Delaney is more of the daredevil, which she gets from me.

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...

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.

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!
