If it's true what they say about April showers bringing May flowers...then Washington is going to soon be overrun with blooms. Which, actually may be the case with all the pollen floating around. Yep, April was a mess. A rainy, nasty mess. Here we are at the Annual Daffodil Parade; rain boots on and umbrellas in hand. It was so bad this year, we only stayed long enough to see Trenton march by and then we packed all our stuff up and left. It was fun, but hopefully next year will be ... Read More
Jones Boys Lately
Trenton: He'll soon be driving! And the day can't come soon enough. I'm probably more excited than he is. Mainly because he will now be able to drive himself and his brothers around to all of their practices and basketball games and church rehearsals.

Port Angeles Tournament
Jackson had another basketball tournament last weekend and so it was off to Port Angeles!

I'm so glad we decided to invest in some padded seats, ... Read More
Cabin Trip
One time, in 2014, we rented a cabin in Leavenworth with our close friends. We had such an amazing time with our families, we vowed to do it again the next year. Except that the babies kept coming and life got busy and 2014 turned in 2015, which turned into 2016, and that lead into 2017 and still no cabin trip. But in 2018, we put it on our Friends Goal List and made it happen. We packed up our kids and our bags and our kids' bags, and hit the road. This was our cozy cabin in Ronald, ... Read More
