The garden is growing like crazy pumpkins, peas and rainbow chard is getting bigger each day.






I have been making jam like a crazy person the last few weeks. Strawberry, Apricot/Pineapple and Raspberry is what I have made so far, not long and the blackberries will be ripe soon.  

The Kids have been having fun with Papa.

Housewarming BBQ

 

We had a wonderful time with so many of our friends and family at our house warming BBQ this weekend. It was so great to share our home with so many of the people we love most. Your love and generosity is overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who could make it and we missed those who couldn't. But we plan on making it a yearly even of BBQ fun so there is always next year.

Bella is still ice skating weekly and is getting better everytime.

Milo is so funny. What other cats would run and hide from like being carried in a box he is like please drag me around child. He is a perfect fit for our family
Today we had a special treat Great Grandma called saying they had a visitor at their house. This beautiful owl was there for over 3 hours today just hanging out it was amazing to see.
Isabella got to do something special today also at the King County Library they had a great program 1 world 1 food class. She learned about food chains and the way the environment effects what different people eat. I love the programs our library system offers we are looking foward to the next 6 weeks of summer events they have.

Fair Fun

Every year since Bella was 1 my Aunt Diane has taken the kids and I to the King County Fair in Enumclaw. It is a great home town fair. Lots of animals and artistry all around. We had a great time this year the weather was beautiful and Jake was off work so he got to come too.
We made a mistake the guy said he could sit on it just to try it out then he didn't want to get off

I love the Grange displays


This quilt was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
