Our New Tractor

After fighting our old tractor since moving to our home, it finally died. We got our new tractor and can finally mow the lawn without breaking to fix it.

Emma's Race

Emma ran her first race today and did a great job. She ran with her two friends named Nate and Nile. Once she got done running her race (about two blocks of running), she wanted to hop in the race with the next age group. Emma got a race t-shirt and a medal.

Kelly participated and did the one mile walk with Lucy. I did the 5K and was happy running it in under 28 minutes. But, Emma was the only one to get a medal...what a superstar.

Fishing

Tonight was the first night of the summer that we were able to go fishing. The bulk of my time was spent fixing fishing lines, but we still had a great time.

It's a Girl!

Kelley and I found out that we are having a girl. Both mom and baby are doing well. The due date is still November 19th.

Sugar + Emma = Crazy

After letting Emma eat some ice cream and some candy today, she is now running around the house yelling. Check this out.

Emma's Treat

Today I took Emma to Largomarchino's for an ice cream sundae. Needless to say, she loved it.

Snoqualmie Falls

This morning we are at the falls. It is spectacular. The ride here was beautiful.

Safeco

After hitting local baseball bars, we are now at Safeco. 20 rows up 3rd base. Beautiful seats. Griffey just walked and Kelley is eating a combination of cheddar and carmel popcorn. Life is good.

Pyramid Brewing Company

We are drinking beer at the Pyramid Brewing Co. beer garden before the day. Kelley reminded us we sucked when she saw IPA on tap.

The Pike Brewery

We are at our first Seattle brewery, The Pike. Excellent beer and they have an ale on cask.

Off to Seattle

Kelley and I are continuing our ballpark tour this summer by going to Seattle. We are waiting in the Moline airport right now. Going through security I was randomly pulled for further searching. Then, my shoes were pulled for further inspection. I'm just glad they skipped the
cavity search.
