Summer Fun

Last weekend we went to Crescent Bar for the first time this year.  They always do their 4th of July parade and fireworks show the weekend after the 4th, so we were there for all of that.  The neighbors always go all out and let us tag along.  We decorated the girls' bikes and they rode while we walked with them and they did great.

And now that summer has finally come to Western Washington, we've been able to set up the pool, try out our new slip n' slide, and make our first trip to the spray park.  The slip n' slide was given to them by grandma and grandpa and they're not quite ready for it.  They don't get how to run and then go down on your tummy and slide.  It was pretty funny to watch.




That's our new pool in the background.  I was having a hard time inflating it and gave up, but Paul finally got the thing inflated and it's now taking up half our yard.

Paul has the next 3 weeks off work, so we have lots of fun stuff planned.  We want to go to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park and maybe the zoo, we're spending a week in Leavenworth (a cute, Bavarian-themed touristy town) and camping at Lake Tapps again.  It's going to go so fast.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
