Doggy Sleep-Over

Zark is staying with us for the weekend, so Savage gets to have a doggy sleep-over! We don't have kids yet, so this is cute to us...just go with it.

Will bike for cheese

We love going to the Seattle Cheese Festival and this year we decided to bike down to it from the house.


We had some cheese samples and hung out on the grass in the beautiful Seattle sunshine.


I was fully planning on taking the bus home but at the last minute decided to try the ride. There were lots of hills and some tears but I'm happy to say I made it all the way home on the bike - thanks to my very supportive husband. <3

Jude O'Chop

Paul and I went to our first roller derby bout! My cousin is on the team and we went out to support her...man is that a rough sport! One of the best parts was listening to all the names of the girls. My cousin Amy's roller derby name is "Jude O'Chop" - sweet!

Redondo dive...kinda

We went out to Redondo this morning for our first advanced dive. We were so excited and Brooksie even showed up to take our picture and watch us go in! After diving down to 60 feet for 7 minutes, our instructor called the dive due to visibility of 2 inches. We actually spent much more time suiting up than time in the water. We were super bummed, but "safety first" as Paul always says.

At least we look good!

Date Night!

I took Paul on a surprise date Friday night to Frank's Oyster House in Seattle. Good food, romantic setting...wonderful!

It's never too early for Victoria's Secret

No, no, it's not really a gift from Victoria's Secret. But the bag is pink, so I thought it would be perfect wrapping for a gift for Ryleigh!


Ryleigh is two weeks old and doing fabulous - she eats and sleeps like a champ and is a very easy-going little girl. Erin is such a natural mom and is recovering beautifully!


I am just in total awe of this perfect little blessing...

Dive Time!

After our dive experience in Jamaica, we decided to get fully certified! We spent 9 hours learning skills in a pool and then finally got out in open water. It was amazing and we can't wait to get back in the water tomorrow to complete our certification!
