Nicholas’ buzz cut


the new “do”.
Makes him look totally different! He used to look like Alton Brown (really cool cooking guy). Jef says he looks like Eminem now … I disagree!! I think he’s cute!!
Now Jonathan wants a flat top (like Uncle Matt???). Help! Vickie!!! I need someone to teach me these!

Nicholas’ hair cut

The other day I posted pictures of the boys at the coffee shop. The “extra” boy was Elijah, our pastor’s son. Nicholas is really taken with Elijah. Whatever Elijah says is true (he gets really mad when you argue with him about it!) … so Nicholas said he wanted a haircut like Elijah. :o) Last night, we were over at the church getting ready for the yard sale on Saturday. Michelle (Elijah’s mom) said she could cut Nicholas’ hair. (I was not brave enough to try it myself)
This is Nicholas before his hair cut.


He kept moving — I had some really great shots, but he’d move just as I clicked the button. Maybe I need to put it on the fast (sports) setting?

Getting ready – Miss Michelle even has a cool drape to wear!

My crazy boys. I wanted a picture of all three, so they posed for me. :o) In the background, you can see “Jade” our graffiti girl. The boy who lived here before drew/painted her. We tell people who are coming to visit, “you’re here when you see the graffiti.”

Really big beetle the boys found. They were so excited about it, Daniel came running to ask me to take a picture of it. I never did get a very good picture of it.

On the Friday before Mother’s Day, Jef gave me my present. (we are really bad about keeping presents until the actual day) I was glad he gave it to me early, because I was able to take these pictures!
We’ve been blessed to be able to go on dates on Friday nights. This Friday, we went to
Wright Park and took a walk. We walked around the neighborhood, too, and I took some pictures of flowers on our way.
L-R from the top:
The light pink flowers are azealeas (Wright Park).
Duck (Wright Park)
Beautiful rhodie (Rhododendron) on our walk (N. Yakima Ave.)
Tree tunnel (N. Yakima Ave.)
A pink tree (“)
don’t know what this flower is … anyone want to guess?
blue flowers!
Cool pink tree (on our walk … N. Yakima Ave.)
fuzzy lilac-colored flowers
this white flower was on a hedge, the buds were pink, but the flowers came out white.
Entrance to Wright Park (Division & N. Yakima St.)
The Cascade Mountains – very faintly (at the dock by Anthony’s and the boathouse and the ferry to Vashon Island)
Pink azaleas and duck (same as first two pictures)

If you can’t see the whole collage of pictures, click on it, and it will open bigger.
