Future Farmer Nik

Here we are in Northern Washington, visiting the Bridgman Clan, we of course had to make a stop at Mom's new place being built in Bay View. Nik was super excited about the tractor parked out front.

He also really enjoyed his tractor times at Auntie Tindy's house while we stayed there for 3 nights and then we moved to Auntie Candy's for another 3 nights.

Off to feed the cows.

First five minutes at Aunt Tindy's and he is already in love with her, she owns a tractor, how cool is that (at least I think that's what he is thinking).

Open Mics

Ive been playing at alot of open mic nights here in Tacoma and have actually been playing on the radio. Im starting another gig at a place called the Mandolin Cafe as well.

Granny turns 29 again!!!

Grandma B. turned 88 0n Wednesday, October 21st. Did you know she was born in Victoria, British Columbia and moved to Seattle when she was 2 years old? She stopped by the Wades house on her birthday drive with Grandpa and caregiver Linda Bishop at the wheel. She had time to help do the chores before lunch and helped feed the cows chickens and pigs. She said she didn't think she was up for the job daily since winter is coming.

She enjoyed her birthday cupcake and TRIED to blow out the candle Foster picked for her cake. (Foster it was a trick candle right???!!!) Granny is one tough girl!

Happy Birthday Phyllis, Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma Bridgman

Oliver is One!

Oliver loved his ice cream cake!
He was a little shy when we put the gogles on him. These came with his great tool set from his Aunt Jessie!

He really liked his bear he got from Great Aunt Cindy.

Oliver celebrated his birthday for two days. He was one on Friday but we had the BBQ party on Saturday with family and friends. He wasn't sure about blowing out the candle but with a little help from mommy he got his wish. When it came to Saturday he decided to take a little nap after lunch (wouldn't we all) so it postponed opening his presents. We really appreciated the family that came and know that some had other plans. We had fun playing Boche Ball and Ladder Ball. He received a lot of great gifts! He is going to have so much fun. The books that he got he will look forward to reading with his mommy and daddy! We all love you Oliver and glad that you had a great day!

7 Days of FUN!

Just returned from a fun vacation in Eastern Washington! We

stayed at Terry's sister's cabin on Lake Cle Elum in the town of Ronald with them and went on miles and miles of fun but dirty 4 wheeler trails(check out the moustache and dirt beard above), then headed to Crescent Bar on the Columbia River to ride our jet skii's and finally to Banks Lake near the Grand Coulee Dam. We had so much fun!

Tres Piedras

Take a look at Terry on his bike! He can still ride!! Keep it up Terry

Loved your carne adovada y frijoles. Gracias

Life is good in TP. Jenny is coming to an end on her ranch manager job at Schwarz Ranch (460 acres), north of town. Soon she is moving on to a property management job for a house east of town toward the gorge. Jenny works like a jackrabbit or a beaver on all her projects. Candy, Jenny and I had a whirlwind week and whacky bus ride between Denver and TP. (break down, bug infestation and evacuation, interesting riders and alot more!!!) All in all it was a terrific time.

Watch for pics from Candy about the Jon, Kelly, Caleb and Abby vist to the ranch.

Looking forward to Jenny's Washington visit in September.

Thanks for a SUPER TIME!
