One of the many things that we enjoy about Yakima is the weather! It was a nice and hot summer so Adele spent time in her pool in our backyard as well as at the public pool in Moxee. She sure is our little minnow, loving the water!
Travis still makes time to watch some Boise State games and we do our best to support the team by wearing blue and orange. Whenever Adele sees the color orange she says, 'Boise!' Her dad is so proud!
Adele loves to have her toes and fingers painted pink! Whenever she sees anyone she has to tell them about her painted fingers and rip her socks and shoes off to show them her toes. What a little girl we have! So fun to be her mama!
A friend of mine wanted to go kayaking so we took our little kids and set off to find a place. We checked a place out the day before and made plans to go. As we were carrying our kids, kayak, life vests, and paddles we realized that it was a lot farther in than we had remembered. Adele walked the whole 3/4 of a mile in! I couldn't believe it. We went to this little man made lake off the green way to just see how we would do with two kids in the kayak. We left our kayak bag, camera, shoes, and misc. gear on shore thinking that it would never be out of our site and it was hidden in the bushes so people walking by wouldn't notice it. WE WERE WRONG. After one lap around the lake we came to check on our stuff and it was GONE. My heart stopped! I had heard Yakima had a lot of crime, but I didn't think it would affect me. My friend Anna got out and went to see if she could find anyone who had seen anything. As she hobbled barefooted to a fishing dock she found someone who had taken our bag, riffled through it, and luckily returned it to us! What a relief....however, I learned my lesson and am much more careful now.
My Aunt Dawn and Uncle Kris live about 1 1/2 from us so we get to spend lots of time with them. Adele ADORES them and I am sure the feeling is mutual. They spoil us so much! Words can't even express how kind they are to us. Having them here has made all the difference in enjoying our time here! I am loving living so close to them!
