Father's Day










June 15th was Father's Day and Cory's first of many too come. We had a good day. Cory slept in since he worked Mariner's the night before and was exhausted from a long week of work and off duty. We than cleaned up the house and yard and awaited our friends to come over and celebrate and barbecue with us. Cory got some great golf shirts from Alyssa to go with his new clubs. Unfortunately I don't think they have improved his game at all. We had a good time hanging out in the sun, I got a little burned, eating good food, listening to music, watching the kids all play and watching the US Open. Too bad Rocco Mediate didn't beat Tiger in the playoff but there is always next year!

Cory went down to Vancouver with his friend Doug to do a little sturgeon fishing with his brother Tyson and his friends. They didn't have any keepers but caught a 10-12ft sturgeon. Unfortunately it wasn't a keeper! Tyson caught a salmon on a trout pole but wasn't able to keep that one either. They did manage to catch a bunch of shad tho and we will use that for our crab bait come this July. We plan on having many seafood cookouts. Bring on the crabbies!!!!!

Alyssa, Harley and I all went down to Longview for the week to visit family. Both of her grandmothers enjoyed visiting with her a lot as well as the rest of the family. She also got to meet her Great Aunt Melody who we haven't seen forever. It was good seeing her again and having her see Alyssa. We did a bunch of shopping with both grandmothers and got a bunch of clothes and played a lot. She gets very spoiled by them. My mom and I took Alyssa to get her foot print put on a ceramic plate. Which was fun watching her reaction to the wet paint.
Cory and I enjoyed a day together ALONE! We dropped Alyssa off at her Great Grammys and we went off to the driving range and out to lunch on the waterfront in Seattle. It was a gorgeous day for that. We came home and enjoyed the evening in the backyard playing and listening to music. It's getting to be a lot more fun with Alyssa because she is getting to be more interactive. She has her four month appointment on Monday. More shots, yikes! So it will be very interesting too see just how much she has grown. She has definitely filled out a lot within the last month or so. I think she is also starting to get some teeth in. Until then.....
