Braces

Jaelyn's had her top braces on since October...and here is a picture after her bottom braces were put on! Hopefully by June or July her braces will come off along with her expander!  She's been a trooper through it all...even having a baby tooth extracted to make more room....hardly any complaints!.

We LOVE to see you smile!

Salty's

The tradition continues!

 Waiting patiently for the brunch to start!

 What a beautiful view....great food, great fellowship....great memories!

 Dad & Carol enjoying a laugh

 Mmmmmm....bacon!

 Mmmmmm....what to dip in the chocolate & caramel fountain!?!  Touch decisions!  Ha

Can't go to Salty's without eating some chocolate covered strawberries!

Tummy's are full....what a great morning shared at Salty's!

Papa came to town!

We packed in a lot of adventures while Papa and Carol visited us!  What fun!  Here is a peek into some of our adventures in Seattle:  Space Needle, Pike Place Market, The Crab Pot for lunch, & Chihuly Gardens!

 What a beautiful place we live....view from atop of the space needle

 A visit to Seattle is not complete without going to Pike Place Market

 Obligatory picture on the pig!

In keeping with the Holwerda tradition.....

 Rudy & Rudette made their appearance...."Pike Place Nuts"  :)

 Ahhh....the donuts!!  Yummy!!

The gum wall!  Eeeeww!

 Lunch stop at The Crab Pot on the pier

 Chihuly Gardens

" Take a picture of me by this plant that matches my shirt"

 "This one matches my sweatshirt...."

"This one coordinates with my shirt too"

Another tooth bit the dust

While we were in line for lunch at Panera bread, Ben kept wiggling his tooth.  Papa told him that if he pulled it out at any point during the day, he would give Ben $5.  Ben was determined!!  Halfway through lunch it was out!!  Way to go bud!  You earned for $5!!
