Stop to smell the flowers

We drove up to LaConner to see the tulips and they did not disappoint. It was a very fun day with Dana, Maddie, and Brooksie. We walked around the fields of tulips, did a little wine tasting, then had lunch at a darling restaurant in town. It was so fun!

Dog bar

I call it the "dog bar" but it's really called The Beverage Place". It's a bar in West Seattle that you can take dogs into - what could be better?!?! We met some friends there on Friday night and had a blast! (And our dogs had a great time playing too)

Jamaica Mon!

We had an amazing, relaxing, romantic Jamaican vacation.


Our first scuba diving experience soon led to our second and we have already signed up for a certification class at home.


Ziplining through the jungle


One of many wonderful evenings


We actually learned to sit back, relax, and enjoy the art of doing nothing.

The perfect solution for sore muscles

I had an especially hard day at the mountain on Saturday and my mother-in-law came to the rescue with her hot tub! My muscles feel much better (now it's just my ego that hurts). Paul and Maddie couldn't help themselves and had to join in the fun too!

Dana turns 30!

Happy 30th birthday Dana!

Her friends planned a surprise night for her and we got in on some of the fun too!

Then a family dinner brought out her childish side...30 years old and riding a tricycle :)

What is flyball?

We had a flyball tournament in Canada this weekend. Here's a video of the team (Savage is the first dog) and a little taste of what flyball is.

Beautiful Belly

My baby niece is in that belly! Laura and I are super excited to be her "aunties" and Erin is going to be a wonderful mommy.
