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. I'm a little nervous to have them on the road alone, as I'm sure most parents are, but I just gotta aim and release. :) Still drumming like crazy. And it's still loud. We've given him a specific set of hours (3pm-5pm) when he's ... Read More

Port Angeles Tournament
Jackson had another basketball tournament last weekend and so it was off to Port Angeles! At the last minute, Trenton and Aidon opted to stay home, which I was little bummed about at first, until I realized this meant we no longer needed to find a dog sitter for Murphy.

I'm so glad we decided to invest in some padded seats, ... Read More
So Long, Summer
I'd be lying if I said I was sad to see summer go. Because I'm SO ready. Ready for fall, ready for colder weather, for boots and hot lattes and meals in a Crock Pot. Bring it on. I haven't cooked a meal since June or gone to bed before 11pm for a LONG TIME and I'm craving routine again. And I don't think they'd ever admit it, but I think the boys are ready too. :) The last few weeks of August were well spent. We took a drive to Suntop Lookout in Enumclaw. It was beautiful...even though ... Read More
