I am waaaay behind on blogging again, and feeling overwhelmed by pictures and to-do lists. Here are some cute pics from June & July.

Andrew & Avery

Another Home Depot project

Jonathan, Avery, and Kieron went to a Mariner’s game

Last day of school, playing tug of war at field day

Here’s Kieron eating kale! And it’s not even juiced! He will only eat it fresh off the plant, picked by himself (talk about a “picky” eater).

Fresh blackberries, picked by Kieron

Avery helping out with one of our latest backyard projects. The sand table now lives on these pavers, and Jonathan and I have reclaimed the patio.

A deer neighbor, which reminds me of a funny story from a couple weeks ago. Kieron was in the back yard by himself digging in the sandbox, and I was in the kitchen. All of a sudden he starts screaming hysterically, and I think he must have been stung by a bee or something. So I rush to the back door, and Kieron is already there, freaked out, in tears. I ask what’s wrong, he has to catch his breath before he can reply, “a deer!” It must have really snuck up on him! And I have to admit, I’ve jumped too, unexpectedly seeing deer in the yard. Now Kieron likes to check for them before going out. I’ve tried explaining that they’re more afraid of him than he is of them, but I don’t think that matters much.

Silas at the sand table

“I’ve got your iPhone Mommy!

S’mores with friends

Silas makes this face a lot

Playing in the sandbox

Silas playing his favorite game in the back yard, “come chase me around to the front!” I can’t wait to get a fence up, but in the meantime, Avery enjoys retrieving Silas for me.
