Arlie and CarrieBear

Arlie wanted me to take pictures of CarrieBear.

Here's them getting ready to have their picture taken.

Here's the "aren't-we-having-so-much-fun-together?" shot.

"Are you getting this mommy?"

"How about one with just Carriebear?"

It was a nice day outside yesterday so Monks and I ate our meals outside.

And I realize my pedicure looks terrible but not too bad when you consider there was a squirming 2-year-old on my lap. And of course, I couldn't paint my toenails without painting hers too.

Veggies are growing pretty good! The lettuce looooves the cool, wet weather we've been having.

This is the first time living in this house I've seen this tree "fruit". I have no idea what it is but they're a pretty color.

I love how green everything is. I hate that we have a 1/8 acre driveway. It's handy for get-togethers though.

Memorial Day

We had some friends over for BBQ to break in our new patio. We woke up to pouring rain but unexpectedly the sun came out in the afternoon. It's been raining so much that even I couldn't resist getting out in it. I got a sunburn on my shoulders!

Matt knows real gangstas in Gig Harbor wear Coach.

Here's a view of the patio. It still has a little work, a border and beds, but looking good so far!

It took the guys 2 hours to find these fist-sized marshmallows. I might be exaggerating - but not by much.

Earlier in the day when the temps were nice and we were enjoying all the food Andrew was barbecuing. He barbecued bread sticks, pizza, burgers, salmon, asparagus, corn, and crab. We ate ALL DAY.

Arlie loved having all the dogs here. The dogs had fun chasing birds and the birds had fun teasing the dogs.
