Adventures Blueberry Picking

Posted on August 15, 2010 by Lindsey

At the end of July we returned to Bybee Farms in North Bend for a second season of blueberry picking. The farm is beautiful, tucked right at the base of Mount Si. Avery was excited to go, and we thought that with another year under his belt, he would make a fine blueberry picker. But after picking and eating about 20 blueberries, he declared that he was tired and wanted trail mix. So he spent the majority of the time camped in a fold-up canvas chair while Mommy and Daddy got the goods. We had a great time anyway, and still have ten pounds of blueberries in the freezer.







Kieron did his part to help us gather lots of berries. He slept in the stroller the entire time. We didn’t get any pictures of him that afternoon, but here are a few from earlier in the day.

Soccer

There’s a high school within walking distance of our house. When we can, we like to walk over there with the boys and run around the track and/or kick a ball around on the field. Here are a few shots of Daddy playing defender against Avery.

Backyard Fun

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Lindsey

We’ve had a mild summer this year, but it hasn’t stopped us from taking advantage of what warm days we’ve had. We BBQ and eat dinner in the backyard as often as possible, and when it’s really hot we break out the kiddie pool or turn on the sprinklers. We even managed to fit in a water balloon fight one day. Here are a few pics of our backyard shenanigans.

Kieron Three Months

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Lindsey

It’s hard to believe Kieron is already three-months-old. The bleary-eyed nights of waking every several hours to feed, burp, and change him are behind us. He now puts in a good eight-ten hour stretch at night regularly. His waking hours have increased too, and he’s quite a cheerful little guy, full of laughs, squeaks, and coos. He enjoys playing with his hands and grasping rattles or small stuffed animals.
Kieron is not a fan of tummy time yet, but he’s getting stronger, so it probably won’t be long before he enjoys spending quite a bit of time there. He really loves being held and cuddled though, and would likely prefer to spend all of his time in someone’s arms.

Texas for the 4th

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Lindsey

We spent a week in Texas with Lindsey’s family over the Fourth of July. Uncle Scott was in from Afghanistan at the same time, so we were very happy to have everyone together. The holiday was spent playing in the pool, drinking margaritas, and eating BBQ ribs.
We were particularly impressed with Avery’s increased confidence in the pool over the course of the week. Although he’s taken swimming lessons and been in and around pools often, Avery has always been very cautious in the water. But by the end of this trip, he was swimming underwater between Mommy and Daddy. Each time he came up, he took a breath, said “again,” and dove back under water. The pool really wore him out and he took some good naps while in Texas.
