14 Credits and a ton of history reading... whew.
I know he can do it.
Thanks Jared for going to school
so that one day we can survive.
{I LOVE YOU.}
Jared leaving for his first day of school.
I couldnt be more proud.
Apperantly Kroten wanted to go too.
One day little buddy.
It took him a while, but one day it just clicked.
He can drink from a straw.
And he can't get enough of it.

And I am LOVING it.
My mom and I went and picked raspberries this morning. Dont ask me what I am going to do with 5 lbs of berries by tomorrow. You have to do somthing with them within a day or two or they will go bad. I'll probably freeze some and we will eat the rest (Kroten Loves them). YUMMY.
Thank goodness for camera phones...
This is the first berry we picked, IT IS GIMONGOUS.
Naturally sweet, simply beautiful.

My harvest.
On our way up to Seattle, we stopped at the Ape Caves near Mount Saint Hellen, with Jared's brother and sister-in-law. It was a lot of fun, a pretty hard hike, but a lot of fun. There are no monkeys incase you are wondering, they are called the Ape Caves becuause it was discovered by a scout troop called the apes. Also it is rumored to house Big Foot, Sadly we did not get to meet him.
Funny Story: As we were planning our trip, I was reading up on the caves since we were taking Kroten, I wanted to know exactly what we were getting into. Everywhere I read said that it was a difficult hike, and that there was an 8 foot wall that you have to climb. I was telling Jared that I didnt feel comfortable doing this with a baby. Jared had been to the caves before like a million years ago (ok, like 10 years a go.) and was telling me that it was not that hard and that the "wall" was really only like 5 feet tall and easy to climb. So the whole hike, everyone thought they were funny and did stupid things like pioint to 2 foot ledges and make snide comments like there is your cliff kristen. HA HA. But as you can see in the next few pictures, THERE WAS A WALL, and I WAS RIGHT!!!!! It was a hard hike, and Jared and I agreed that if we did it again, we probably wouldnt recomend taking a baby.
The end is in sight.
This past weekend, we went to Seattle to visit with Jared's family. We had a ton of fun, and did a ton of stuff. Sorry (I don't know why I am apologizing) once again there are a lot of pictures.
We played with aunts and uncles.
We ate LOTS!!
We played ridiculously loud games. (NOTE to all people. DO NOT PLAY GAMES WITH KRISTEN AFTER 11 PM. You will feel the rath.)
We went to cool places.
This is the troll statue.
You may have seen it in 10 Things I Hate About You.
We ate some more.
I was very happy that night.
It was FANTASTIC.
We ran in the seattle rain.
We played some more.
We loved our aunts and uncles.
(well maybe just uncle Jason.)
We hung out with G-pa-pa.
