Building, Baseball & Trains

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.

Lately…

Oh man, I am so behind on blogging again! Here are some pics from June. I will try to post more soon!

I love this outfit on Si

Avery helping me weed. He likes to pull the really big ones, and he gets his whole body into it

Preparing for the upcoming camping weekend. Kieron kept saying “all done!”

T-ball Season Winds Down

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!

Our Computer Broke!

It’s been a while since my last blog post, but for good reason. Our computer has been with the geniuses at the Apple store for the past week (if they’re so smart, why did they forget to give the cord back when they returned our computer)? Anyway, I digress…

I’m feeling a bit behind, so here’s a medley of cute pictures from the past month. Tonight I will download the last week’s worth of pictures for another entry!

We had a (very successful) garage sale a couple of weeks ago. The boys went into business together and opened a lemonade stand



Little Si, about two months old

All smiles

His serious face


Kieron is learning how to use the glide bike


And Avery is practicing dangerous stunts (great)

He climbs all the way up by himself (with a spotter, of course)


Avery says, “see little bro, tummy time isn’t so bad.”

Say Cheese! Just behind the lens, Jonathan was holding a piece of cheese

Kieron Turns Two!

It’s hard to believe, but Kieron turned two last weekend. We surprised our little chef with a new “souped up” kitchen when he came downstairs. It didn’t disappoint, and he’s been whipping up all kinds of tasty things in it since.

Today someone described Kieron as a “little ray of sunshine,” and that truly sums up his disposition. At two years old, Kieron is cheerful, laid back, and smiles easily. He’s very physical, and a little bit of a daredevil. He can be short-fused at times, but overall, is pretty even keeled. He loves Elmo, dogs, blocks, balls, music, and all things cooking related. He is an enthusiastic, yet picky eater. Kieron loves and fears his big brother. He follows Avery everywhere, and misses him when he’s away. However, he puts up with a bit of tormenting.

His language is really taking off. It’s fun to listen to him put his thoughts into words. Some cute phrases we hear a lot are:
“Is he crying?” (referring to Silas)
“I’m making ______” (in the kitchen)
“Avery hit/bonk/hurt”
“Wee ma way/mahna mahna/got grapes” (referring to YouTube videos he wants to watch)
“Chichen” (kitchen)
“I wuv you”

He had his two year well child visit a couple days ago. He weighed in at 29 lbs 6 oz (67%) and measured 35.5″ (79%).

Here he is checking out his new kitchen
