The Crue - I mean Crew

Both Addy and Biscuit seem to grow every day right before my eyes. At some moments I am so excited to see what is next and at other moments I feel my chest constrict in pain at how fast the time flies and how quickly Addy is growing up. All the time I am in wonder at the amazing family I get to be with every day!


YOTG #4

Another precious development - hiding in one of my pots.

YOTG #3

One of the benefits of having flowers (and taking care of them so they live) are visitors. We have a ton of humming birds around and this pretty little thing stopped by.


I got my first herbs harvested and used this weekend. Love it!

NW Trek . . . Go There . . . It Rocks!

Green. Peaceful. Lush.



Educational. Unique animals like bears, buffalo, elk.


Humiliation. Meltdown. Crowded tram ride. Sweating (Jess and Scott). Tears (Addy).

You gotta click on this picture and read the middle paragraph. :)

J Rants

I have to rant for a moment. Today while I we were cleaning we put on some tunes. I was very distrubed to hear two pathetic remakes.

First off, there is Seether doing Careless Whisper . . . um, what? I will ensure I never go out of my way to listen to that band again. Do you people even remember WHAM?!?!??!

Second, and obviously way worse . . . Home Sweet Home remade by Carrie Underwood? Okay, I won't even go into any details here because it isn't worthy of my time.

I am so old - complaining about remakes of songs. And don't even get me started on the movies.

Okay, luckily we had a lovely summer day to distract me from my ranting.




It sucks to get old!

Addy + Zoe

One of the perks of Addy starting school is that she has made a lot of new friends. It only took a week or two for Addy to develop a close friendship with Zoe. These two are inseparable at school! They've even been competing with one another in the potty training area.

Every day Addy tells us something about Zoe:

"I hold hands with Zoe at gym."

"Zoe had big girl panties on."

"Zoe and I took baby to the pet store."

It is so great to have a BFF.

Pictures are compliments of Zoe's parents. We got the chance to get together with them and had a wonderful time letting the girls play. Oh, and of course Addy really liked her Popsicle too!

WARNIING: EXPLICIT MATERIAL INSIDE

I thought I might pee my pants laughing so hard when I came in to get Addy up from her nap! Not a lot more to add here . . .


(Tipper and Jesse - I hope you see this "explicit material" and get offended.) :)

Addy on Camera

So one night we put the macbook in front of Addy at the table and let her watch herself on the big screen. This is the result. (Warning: it is pretty loud in places and long - 2 min. Don't feel like you have to watch the entire video, but there are some really funny parts.)

The best is watching her absolute delight with herself. Clearly she thinks she's funny!

Don't worry Addy had fun too!

While we were in Seattle Addy was having lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa!



P.S. For any Whitties out there reading - Adam and Annie had a baby boy last week! Dominic James Beatty-Squire . . . he is super cute and doing well.
