It’s hard to believe, but our biggest little boy is going to start kindergarten in the fall! His pre-k class marked the end of the year last month with a graduation ceremony. We are so proud of Avery and look forward to grade school and all of the learning and experiences it will surely bring! But first, bring on summer!
With his buddy, Gideon, who will also be in his kindergarten class
For Father’s Day weekend, Jonathan and a few of his coworkers went camping together with their sons. The boys took a ferry out to Lopez Island and stayed at Odlin Park. It was Kieron’s first camping trip, and he was excited and unsure of what to expect. Avery was counting down the days for the past month. It ended up being a soggy camping trip, but they made the most of it. The boys spent a ton of time playing in the sand, and the men cooked and drank. There were plenty of deer and eagle sightings, along with crabs and caterpillars.
And as for me and Silas, we enjoyed the peace and quiet at home!

The ride home
Last month Jonathan took the boys to the Home Depot Kids Workshop one Saturday. They had a great time building little wooden boxes (perfect for sorting little lego pieces in).
The following day Jonathan and Avery went to a Mariner’s game together. It was through little league, so the kids got to get a close up view of the field. As you can see, Avery brought his little pug satchel with him, full of coins to buy a hot dog with.
The next week we went out to the local brewery for dinner one night. Afterwards, we took a stroll by the old trains across the street. The boys had a blast checking everything out.
Oh man, I am so behind on blogging again! Here are some pics from June. I will try to post more soon!

Preparing for the upcoming camping weekend. Kieron kept saying “all done!”
Avery doing somersaults. He also exclaimed that there was room to wrestle in the tent!
Avery had his final t-ball game of the season last week. Unfortunately, we’ve had a rainy month – people are calling it “Junuary.” It’s a good thing we had games scheduled twice a week, because typically one of them got rained out. Despite this, Avery had a blast playing and can’t wait to do it again!
What a pretty place to play ball!
