Started out the morning with a visit from our good friend, Holly! I made her play some guitar hero, while Trey did the backup vocals. It’s always good to see her and damn, she’s not bad at the game either.

Tonight was the Mariner’s Game for our crew. It was a dud of a game and we honestly didn’t get to see much of it, but the boys got cool new M’s coats and thought the whole scene was pretty great. Carlos was jazzed to see his name on the side of Safeco Field! They were troopers and walked the whole way both ways, which was a first for us which means it will be easier for us to go to games now. It’s fun with the boys getting older…

All of our efforts may have been in vain…we’ll find out tomorrow morning if we have to pitch our clams and oysters that we dug/schucked today at Quilcene. There was nothing on the hotline but online it says there may be a biohazard (aka red tide) and that would really bite. We worked hard to get our limits. Either way , it was a fun family outing. The boys kept busy picking out clams and stomping in the water. Then they chased baby crabs around and stacked up oysters in an old tire. When we were done we were all smelly, muddy and happy.

Decided it would be a good night to clean out the van…the carseats all got taken apart and washed, the van is vacuumed and smelling nice and all will be back to good tomorrow. It’s a big job, but truly makes a difference when it’s done. So come for a ride with me in the clean van!

A perfect evening with friends tonight. Holly BBQed some amazing veggies and chicken and we hung out by the campfire and made s’mores. Don’t be calling CPS for the picture of Trey…it was rootbeer, y’all! I’m beat and heading for bed early. I will truly appreciate my own bed tonight.

The adventure continued….we enjoyed the warmth of the sunshine and splashed around on the beach. Carlos found a cool clam shell, we squirted some anemones and Trey fell in the water.

Here are a few of these pictures of the boys from last weekend. LOVE THEM!

Can’t wait to see the rest.

Tonight’s the night and we’re going to be there! I’ve been waiting and waiting for the new Indiana Jones movie to come out. I’m a huge fan, so much so I thought we should have named one of the boys “Indy” but I didn’t want people to think it was in homage to my corn-fed beef ancestors. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, just doesn’t seem as cool. Anyhow, Carolyn is going to watch the boys so we can go!
