Something I love

I mean come on, this is endearing!!

New front fence & garden

Yeah it is summer! Things are blooming and growing and our fence is coming together...just need to finish the arbor. Living the dream ;)
The 4th photo down is our blooming cactus it is the chick and hen succulent, I didn't even know they could bloom!!

Finish detail projects

Joseph finished the top cabinets by the side door, wrapping the boxes with the finish wood and putting the handles on. This was one of those someday projects and luckily today was the someday! Also we took out a half wall by the toilet and put down ceramic tiles in the bathroom. So this is still in progress but we have the grout done now we just have to trim and paint the walls. Fun fun!!

Tree adventure

Got the tree up and the room re-arranged to fit everything...that is medium on demand on the TV...seems a little odd in the photo.

Joseph, Brodie and I back at the car triumphant with our tree, Chris.
Joseph taking a photo at the end of the trail. We tried to make it to Scout lake but this was where we were officially blocked.
Photo op at the ice waterfall. I think Brent and Alison could send this out as the official photo of the year.
Joseph, Brodie and I eclipsing the beauty of the ice waterfall. :)
Here is the ice waterfall in all its glory.
There may or may not have been a sliding incident that ended with me and this tree becoming good friends.

Kitchen Backsplash

We finally got the backsplash up. So we took some "finished" photos, but like everything we seem to always find more we can do. We may decide to go a little brighter with the wall color...let us know what you think!

Our favorite Niece Hailey!

It all started with the hair net that she put on her head. Then she found the feather cat toy/wand. After showing her parents the new found wand they showed her an awesome wig that she sported well and then there was just the wand.

Happy Halloween!!

We had a two night Halloween fest! These photos are a mix of the two nights. Friday was the Ride sponsored party at Evo in Fremont and Saturday was an awesome house party at Peter and May's house in West Seattle. Joseph made an ice coffin beer/liquor luge which was well used and the Misfits even performed...sounding better then ever!! At the Ride/Evo party the robot won best male costume, David Bowe won a snowboard on a raffle...and although we have no photos of it I won best female costume! Shocking!! On Saturday you will see that I was reunited with my sister mummy at the house party which confused more than one person-Rachel and Kate now know each other well :) If you were at the party you know why...
I did my best to get a mix of all the costumes we saw but there were really so many great ones! Everyone went for it this year! As you saw in the photos, Joseph was cookie monster...only this cookie monster made people eat mystery food for prizes and was a ice luge pro!
