Parent's New House

Finally!  My parents have the keys to their new house in Olympia!  It was a "short sale" so it took months and months... I can't even remember when they started the process.  It's a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1-story house with a small backyard. The inside has some cool angles and isn't the traditional layout.  We're very excited for them!  And they got the keys on my Mom's birthday- pretty special!

Mushrooms!

Look what we found growing in our garden again this year!  So excited about these morrells!  They are growing in a different spot, but I swear by the combo of the cardboard and compost mix from the Bark Store!

Here we planted carrots and beets. And below is where we have garlic, onions and asparagus (started last year)

Sunny Days

Aww!  Who hasn't been loving this weather we've been having!  Isla and I have done a couple nice walks to the beach and Nisqually.  She's also loving hanging on in the yard in her swing and crawling around in the front yard.

New Fridge!

We just participated in Puget Sound Energy's Free Fridge Replacement Program and got a brand NEW free fridge!  We had to do some re-arranging first and bring this monster of a fridge from the 70's up from the basement and into the kitchen first (they only replace fridges in the kitchen).  But it was totally worth it.  We love our new fridge!

Play Date with Lucy

Another fun play date earlier this week so Jack could help out with our basement project!  Isla just adores Lucy and followed her all over.  Ezra and Minnie also had a play date so we spent some time looking out the window at the dogs.  And chasing Sushi around!

Point Defiance Zoo Trip

Although the weather forecast looked terrible, we headed to the zoo with our parents on Easter and it couldn't have been a nicer day and not crowded at all.  We saw about half of the animals and even watched an animal show.  Such a great little zoo/aquarium!

These guys are "So big!"
