What We Did {June}

It's summer!

So much to do, so little time.

We spent a night cheering on the Bees.

 Had a bbq with the friends.

Roasted hot dogs in Grandma Sherri's backyard.

 ("Coleman, would you like to join the group?"

"No thanks, I'll just sit right here.")

And even got to go boating.
(Thanks to our awesome friends who

actually have a boat.)

Macy rocked the tube solo this year!

Coleman, although fully geared up,

passed on the tube,

but didn't seem bothered by it one bit.

When you gotta go,

you gotta go.

Brett even surprised us one morning
by trapping a toad in the garage
for us to find.

On to July!

Backyard Action

I love this pictures for so many reasons.

These two crazies LOVE the water,

even if it's just a little kiddie pool in the backyard.

Love the fact that we can capture memories like these!

Seattle Road Trip

Brett and I took a little trip this week.

To Seattle. By ourselves.

A babymoon

 (even though I despise that word for some reason),

if you will.

It. Was. Fantastic.

Although, just a fair warning, 

pregnancy fat face has completely taken over my life,

and it shows in these pictures.

Plus, I'm not used to having my picture taken by myself,

and have developed posing issues.

Don't worry, you'll see.

So, why Seattle?

A. Because there was no way I was going anywhere requiring me

to put a swimsuit on. 

(In my current condition...yikes!)

B. Because there just so happened to be a baseball game 

scheduled between my first favorite team,

the New York Yankees,

and my second favorite team,

the Seattle Mariners.

I was just a little excited.

Plus, who could pass up a chance

to see Derek Jeter play one more time?

(That $700 telephoto lens I've been eyeing for the past

few years would have really been useful.

Promise that's him.)

 

I could have gone home after the game a happy woman,

but since we did drive 13-ish hours, 

we figured we ought to stay and experience a little more Seattle.

Pike Place Market, for example.

 The Space Needle.

and the EMP museum.

Other highlights of our trip included:

Spending some time in Olympia with my Uncle Mike and Auntie Barb.

Eating dinner with my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jenette.

Getting to stay and visit with my grandparents in Boise.
