cherries

Last weekend the neighborhood cherry tree was in it's prime and full of ripe cherries.  In order to get to them before the birds we pulled out the ladder and got to picking.

 

king tut

It's the new favorite shirt.  This is an original t-shirt from King Tut's first US tour back in the 1970's.  I got it from my mom and have worn it for years.  Cade found it the other day and hasn't taken it off since.  Can't blame him...it's super soft and cozy!

buoy

Add this to the long list of strange things my child is obsessed with.  It started with the simple question, "mommy what is that?" while pointing at the "SLOW: NO WAKE" buoy at my parent's lake house.  Now it has exploded into driving over the 520 bridge to check out the buoys in Lake Washington, hitting Green Lake to see the swimming buoys, sleeping with an actual buoy that his father spent $35 on at a marine outfitter store and watching crabbing videos on YouTube to check out the fisherman buoys.

Weird, right?!

 

8 days

And we're potty trained.  I'm so proud of my little guy and thankful that it was this easy.  Now hoping that getting rid of the pacifier will go as smoothly...I won't hold my breath.

I have some pictures in a new photo album to the left.  Enjoy!

memorial day weekend

We had a great memorial day weekend, starting at the Sasquatch Music Festivaland ending in Spokane with the grandparents.  Cade was a trooper at the Gorge Amphitheater despite the heat and crowds.  We were probably ready to go before he was!  Spokane was warm, so we enjoyed all the activities of summer: bike rides to ice cream shops, rides with the top down, gardening, walks to the park and swimming in the pool.

Check out the "memorial day" photo album to the left for more pictures :)

sasquatch festival

Here is a quick video from the festival.  As you can see, Cade really enjoyed himself.  More pictures to follow in the next couple of days.

latest sayings

Here are some of my favorite Cade conversations:

"Look mommy, that's where I was born!" Pointing at the Space Needle.

"That's cool." or "Wow, it's amazing!"  Describing anything he likes.

"Furio's breath is kickin'!"  I ask what that means and he responds, "It smells like poop."

"I just burped, like daddy burps when he drinks beer.  I burp once for water and twice with orange juice."

Pointing out a tractor: "Look tractor!  Ben likes tractors."  I ask him if he likes tractors and he responds, "I don't like tractors, I like pink flowers."
