Ok - so as you can see on previous posts - when I add pictures and text it looks dumb - so I decided to take the easy way on this one and post them seperate.

Grandpa and Dylan on a walk (Curt and I walk several nights a week); Me & Dylan getting ready for dinner - Dylan eating strawberries :); Over at the Carranza's house - his little blue car has been in my family for years - my brother and I rode it when we were Dylan's age! As you can imagine it has good memories with it and it was really cool to see Dylan on it - Dylans friends Lily and Riley are watching; and last but not least - Dylan looking in through the screen door - not too exciting but he enjoyed it.

Apparently I really wanted the picture of me and Dylan because I posted it twice and for some reason I can't delete it when in the edit screen - so it'll just have to stay - no biggy.

Cool Pictures

Curt & Brandon

So after family dinner at our house today Brandon, Emily, Dylan and Abby got stuck in traffic - yes - traffic in Washougal! There is a Motorcross track here and it draws huge crowds and people from all over the county this time of year. They decided to turn back and spend time at the park instead of in the truck and they called us so of course we went down to play.

Curt & Brandon are really close and enjoy their talks - everything from business to golf. It is really hard living so far away but we make the most of the times that we have together. These are great unposed pictures of them.

Canoe Journey Protocol at Little Boston

This is what it's all about - big smiles! This is a good friend - Ellene Porter. Mom to her right - uncle Dave to her left.

Me and mom - sunning ourselves waiting for the canoes to arrive at Little Boston - Port Gamble Sklallam - Northwest of Bremerton/Poulsbo area.

Getting ready for a BBQ.







We sure are enjoying having "the kids" here (Brandon, Emily, Dylan & Abby). It's hard to beleive that in just two weeks they will be gone! Time flies - between their schedule and ours but we have had fun times. We have also enjoyed the nephews, "Teagan & Michael". They are very nice young men and were always willing to jump in and help out - whether it be carrying in the groceries or helping out with Dylan.

Abby's exhausted from watching me work all day! LOL

Ok - I admit it - I totally over reacted to having a dog in the house. OK OK - I was wrong! I really enjoy having Abby here! She is so good and loyal. She even hangs out with me when I'm working - she sits and looks out the window watching the neighbor kids playing outside. I just don't see how she can sleep so much - it's not like she does much besides going for an occassional walk. :)
