Mini golf

Today we went to play mini golf with our friends Ryan, Jack and Kate. We had a lot of fun. I shot a 58 (yes, I"m awesome), Jeff shot about a 42 I think and Braden continually told me he was better at golf than I was (yes, modest). Conner played a few holes but eventually entertained himself in other ways like rolling on the ground, picking weeds, you know fun stuff like that.

Carefully sizing up his shot.

A great golf stance.

Ryan and Braden

Are we done yet?

No? Well, let me just roll around for a while on the green. Yes, he did not fall here, he is actually doing this very much on purpose. Oh it is fun being 2.

Oh my goodness sakes....

This is Conner's new favorite line. He'll say it over and over again. It's pretty cute though.....

Potty Time

I'll just read this boat catalog while I'm sitting on the potty. Good thing dad left it here on the shelf for me.

I left the bathroom for a minute to check on Braden while Conner was trying to go potty. When I come back he is reading a magazine. Just like dad......

A Day at the Beach

We enjoyed a day out at Alexander beach with the cousins yesterday. The weather has been so warm and pleasant. The kids had a great time playing in the ocean, digging in the sand, and finding all kinds of sea creatures.

St. Merry's Fest

We had a great time at St. Merry's Fest! Conner loved all the little rides and his favorite was the big tall slide. He would go down and then when he reached the bottom he would yell "Again mom, again". My legs were sore the next day from all the stair climbing because even though he went down the slide by himself, I was too afraid to send him up the 50 or so metal stairs solo. Braden loved all the rides and went on all but about two. A big thanks to Mr. Russ for taking him on the rides that required you to be with a grown up if you were shorter than 48"!

Braden's first salmon!

Braden went out fishing today with his dad around the San Juans. He caught his first fish, a 9 pound salmon. Yes, they also caught about 10 dogfish but we are excited about the salmon. Yum.....dinner!

Daddy Did It

Here is a recent conversation I had with Conner:

Mom: Did you draw all over your arms Conner? (He had purple marker all over both hands and arms)

Conner: Looks down and says huh?

Mom: Did you draw on yourself?

Conner: No, Daddy did.

Already blaming his dad for things. Uh oh......
