Super Day!

On Superbowl Sunday, Jace's mom and dad had a volleyball tournament, so Jace went over to Grandpa John and Grandma Kris' home. Boy oh boy did he come home wiped out. He had so much fun. Here are a few of the pictures that came from the day.

There was lots of outdoor time, which Jace loves.





Who doesn't like peek-a-boo?



A little TV time with Grandpa, but Grandpa won't stop making me laugh!



Puzzle time!



One of the commercials during the Superbowl was in 3D.... Here are the boys looking stylish while watching!

And one of my favorite pictures. Grandpa teaching his grandson everything he knows.

Yard Work

Friday and Saturday were beautiful, sunny Seattle days. To take advantage of the weather, we had 6 yards of compost delivered to our house on Friday and we spent Friday afternoon and Saturday, most of it, moving compost around, tilling, removing (thousands) of rocks and planting. It was great.

The neighbor boys assisted on Saturday and they were a huge help. Without them we would still be out there, working our tails off.

Here are a couple of pictures, pre-compost:



Here are post-compost pictures:



Stephanie worked real hard!

We planted some native huckleberries:

Hens and Chicks:

Last week we planted some rosemary:

and Sarcococca Ruscifolia plus a Mock Orange:

We have so much more to do, but we will take baby steps and eventually it will all be done. More on the landscaping soon!

Enjoying the Sun!

Wow! It has been nearly a month since our last update. Life has been busy with playing with Jace, working on our house, working in our yard and everything else that goes along with life.

While we gather all of our photos from the past month, here are a few from the past few sunny weekends when we played in the yard and went to the park.

This is a great sequence of Jace and OB:



Jace loves to help his mom and dad garden.... Or does he just love to play in the dirt?



Jace learning the fine arts of picking the right pine cone and how to throw it:



At the park, Jace was all smiles:



Jace made new friends:



Jace loves the slides at the Reservoir park!



He enjoyed sledding down the plastic slide, running over to the stairs, climbing up and repeating the process.



He got so good at going down the slide, he went down without any help from mom or dad!
