Abundant Sunshine!!

We took advantage of the beautiful day to show Bryce and Meg one of the reasons we put up with all the rain....


The crew
The girls

Hanging out during lunch...

Cass is good as long as she can get those toes!

Uncle Bryce taking a turn...

The strongest girls at the coolest rock in the NW

Meg showing off some bouldering moves...she rocks!




We had a great day with, as the weather man said, abundant sunshine! Tomorrow they will be off and running again. I'm thankful they got to spend two full days with us here, and they finally got to see some sun and found out that Mount Baker really does exist.

Uncle Bryce and Auntie Meg

After a late arrival Wednesday night, Uncle Bryce and Auntie Meg finally got to meet Cassidy. They jumped right in and volunteered for active duty, babysitting her while I went to an interview. I even turned my phone off...I knew Cassidy was in good hands


Later that afternoon Meg, Cari and I broke in the awesome backpack for Cassidy that Bryce and Meg gave us for Christmas. It works great, feels just as good as my big backpack, and Cassidy is so comfortable she can take naps...It's great that she enjoys the outdoors already. I love it!

Our first scenic overview...

Some awesome Madrona trees to entertain

Our second stop allowed Cassidy a lunch with a 5 star view and some silly time hanging around

Cass and her beautiful Auntie Meg enjoying the view and thier time together

We finished off the day with a great seafood feast thanks to Meg. We don't have much time with Bryce and Meg, but I think we made the most of this day.

Busy Days

We've been busy around here the last few weeks....

Cassidy turned 4 months old. I can't believe how fast that time has gone and how much she has changed! Yah, she's crackin' herself up....

(Here's a reminder of what she looked like at 1 week, same pillow and chair)

Then there was Aaron's Birthday party in Oak Harbor...

Yard work, of course...

Cass is hidden under her sun hat in the backpack, the noise put her right to sleep!

Cassidy thought this was a better way to do yard work...We're not trailer trash any more, but dang it's hard to give up those blue tarps when they are so handy!

Playing with Mom...




And laughing out lound for the first time with Dad (she was laughing a lot more before the crazy lady with the video camera distracted her again)




Ahhhhh, the GOOD stuff!

Father's Day

Yesterday was a great day with all the family in Bellingham. Chad and Cassidy got to stay with Grandma while I did some paperwork at CCS...she had lots of company and lots of lovin' cousins to entertain her and make sure she ate well with Auntie Lori.

Then it was off to dinner to celebrate Grandpa Jerry and Father's Day. We had lots of time to play with Cassidy while waiting for our food

and Cassidy decided it was time to start preparing for WSU

We had a great time and Cassidy's Aunties did a wonderful job keeping her cuddled and entertained, even after she thought it was time to be going. Thanks for letting me finish eating!!

1st Father's Day

It was a beautiful day for Chad's first Father's Day and he got to spend it just being a Dad.

I love how closely Cass is watching Chad....She loves her Daddy!

To Grandpa

Happy Father's Day Grandpa! I can't wait to see you again soon.

I love you!

Toes!!

Look what I've found!!

I'm not sure but I think these are mine...

Just a little bit closer and I can suck on that big one!

WHAT??
