365 Photos - Week 31

I'm behind in posting and in taking pictures... again... *sigh* I'm really trying to make it through the year.

Week 30

Just about caught up.

Chocolate Souffle - Dinner with my brother and sister-in-law... does it get any better?

Another Onesie Card.

One of my suculents is blooming, so pretty.

Flowers in the yard.

I've created a monster, so Kyle wanted a place for "his" things and for a collection of sports stuff. So I found a wall with a picture that could go and started a grouping.... now the collection is growing. I just ordered 5 hangers for bats... any bets on how long before I need to order more?

It's the time of year hummingbirds are busy. And I'm lazy so I buy the bright red mix instead of doing it myself with just plain sugar and water.

Week 29

yup still behind. But over the halfway point, so hopefully I can finish out the year.

Card for my sweetie for our 3rd wedding anniversary.

San Jose Giants, horse for the horse races... my favorite part of the game.

Sports wall I've started for Kyle.. He really wanted so space of his own, so this was my solution.

Loving pink and brown right now.

Old family ring that kyle got all fixed up for me with a new center stone and everything for our anniversary.

Week 28ish - Seattle

The week after 4th of July I headed up to Washington state for a class for work. I flew out tuesday the 7th and Kyle came up and joined me friday. From there we headed into Seattle to our hotel. We stayed at the Alexis. It was a nice hotel, parking was a little difficult and expensive. And seeing as how I'm not really a city person, we decided if we ever go back we'd stay in Bellevue or something instead. After checking into the hotel we took a quick stroll around the city and then hit the sack for a good nights sleep!

Saturday was a lazy day around Seattle, hit pike's place and got 2lbs of rainier cherries (my favorite). Kyle wondered if I'd be able to eat it all before we left.. game on. Yumm. We went to the university mall and then tracked down the Fremont Troll. And headed out for dinner at Tulio (on a recommendation from someone in the class I was at earlier in the week). It was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. We shared a small portion of TORTELLI crab, spinach, fresh herbs, crab oil. Then I had the ORGANIC FIELD GREENS red wine vinaigrette & SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI sage butter, mascarpone. The gnocchi was amazing! The whole dinner wonderful

Sunday we headed to Victoria, BC. We wandered around the city and had lunch at Earls where we were able to catch the end of the indy car race. It was a perfect lunch! We toured the Royal British Museum and wandered around a bit more before heading back to the US. The customs guy was trying to be nice when he noticed we didn't have any stamps, and stamped for the US.... kinda silly.

Monday we were flying out so anything we were going to do needed to fit into the time we had before getting to the airport. So we went to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. It was a cute little zoo. Then time to head home...

Bellow are some favorite pictures from the trip.

Week 27ish

Yes it's gotten bad.. been busy (I know .. still) And I'm all lost on when pictures have been taken and the corresponding week. I'm hoping to get a second wind to finish up the year. Here is an approximation for week 27.


Bacon needs no explanation. I'm trying to lose weight so it's turkey bacon, but that's ok. I really do like it and I'll take bacon any way I can get it. Did someone say bacon covered chocolate wrapped in bacon dipped in chocolate ;)




Everyone is trying or pregnant... I LOVE it.


My Baby.


This one just makes me laugh.

365 Photos - Week 26

We seem to have caught the home improvement / remodel bug... we are concidering redoing our bathroom and really liked this tile sample. We haven't even decided on redoing the bathroom, but IF we do something like this might be nice.


First pedicure in forever!!!


Attempting enthusiasm about working out. I need to loose weight (doctor's orders at this point, so I'm trying to step it up a notch)


Simple necklace.

Fireplace Re-Tile... Part 2

Back in September '08 I posted part 1 to this home improvement project. It has finally been finished. Kyle's friend/coworker did the work and I love it. We are now just waiting for the threshold pieces to come in to finally complete it entirely. Phew, one project just about done, many more in the pipeline.
