Sunny Days!

So this weekend we went down to Olympia to visit my mom and do a little playing in the sun.
We checked out the mushroom festival (lackluster), played putt-putt (always fun watching Kent win), and ate gobs of UH-mazing food (Nom).
Greta had a great time at grandmas getting tossed around, kissed about, and generally smothered with love.

She ended the day with a nice big meal of peas! Last weekend's Kent-speriment was to make her first weeks meal of peas, and today he made a weeks worth of green beans. She's loving her veggies!

Hey!

So, on occasion I have to add something here completely unrelated to Barley business, just for the plain and simple fact that it made me laugh so hard.
Kent found it and knew instantly that it was Skirst funny... and he was right.
So for all those daddys out there, Happy Fathers Day! And Hey!

Can I eat that?

We are approaching Greta's big 6 month birthday tomorrow. And she has been hitting all kinds of milestones lately. She is sitting up unattended like a champ, and prefers to spend most of her time that way. However, right now she is content to lay in her crib and smile at me while I type. Do you think she knows I am writing about her?
She spends some good time playing in various containers seeing as she is curious and capable of household domination. Well, at least she thinks she is. Everything she comes across in her mind can and must be eaten. So it's cribs and playpens more than floors and bed tops.
She has fun though...see!

Look what the cat dragged in!

Dad was here visiting for the weekend which gave me the necessary time to work up this little gem! (With Kent as my Nerd-Tech to code and such) Now my website is finally updated! It's kind of funny because this was on my list of to do before Greta was born. My thought was that once she was born it was neeever gonna happen. But lo' and behold six months later!
Here's Greta playing outside with her grandpa.Having a good time I'd say! Happy 25 weeks little Barley!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Saturday was Kent's 27th birthday! So to celebrate we did everything he wanted to do and nothing he didn't want to do.
We went to the Woodland Park Zoo which was AWESOME both of us have never been so it was a real treat, ate bbq, and played putt-putt which is a Kent Walter Birthday Tradition.
There was such a great show of friends, we kept hopping from one fun-tivity to the next until we crashed late Sat night from too much fun.
Given the theme of Kent's favorite things we decided to give his birthday a kidd-o theme and it was all zoo animals, juice boxes, cake cones, and party favors I haven't seen since I was in grade school. I think my favorite was the "Reading is your Boyfriend" bookmarks I made for the occasion.
Saturday also marked Greta's 24 week birthday! She was one lucky lady and got to spend her special day looking at all the zoo animals with her dad!

Our friends gave Kent this alligator hat which he happily wore all day. I thought it suited him perfectly!
Thanks everyone for celebrating with us and helping to make Kent's birthday so much fun!
