whoa doggy!

nicki: "stella has been so well behaved lately"
brian: "i know! she never gets into anything she shouldn't, she doesn't chew on things..."
nicki: "should we try to let her sleep out of her kennel soon?"
brian: "i was thinking the same. maybe tonight?"
nicki: "great! i'm sure she will be total angel!!"
dun, dun dun...
lesson learned: do not leave your glasses on the nightstand for the puppy to pick up and use as a chew toy while you sleep peacefully just 2 feet away.

New color!

Remember this color:



Improvement?? (new awning and new color)



The little green house is now "Gray's Harbor" gray/blue! And the doors, it wouldn't be complete without some mac & cheese orange (it was supposed to be more of a burnt orange, but the mac & cheese is growing on us).

We (meaning Brian) spent a couple weekends prepping, fixing, priming, painting, touching-up, etc. It was a BIG project but definitely worth it! You will notice that the overhang on the porch is still green - the next project is to strip the paint and sand it down to the natural wood. We did a small spot and the wood looks amazing. Another project for another day!

Happy summer friends and family!

sally's 60th b-day!

Who says 60 can't be just as fab as 50? Sally turned 60 on March 15th and while she was traveling around the world hitting all 5 disney theme parks on her actual b-day, we got together the weekend prior for some wine tasting and dinner. We hit Brian Carter Cellers in Woodinville for some tasting with the Baldwins, Kings and Erika. We even brought the pup that just arrived from Idaho that morning (BC is a dog friendly winery!). After a few sips at BC, we headed over to Purple for some dinner. It was a wonderful evening with our families - we are very blessed.

Oh, and I just have to add that I sure hope that I look that good at 60!









pup time before bed

our little giant is very good about not jumping up on the couch or bed, but sometime before we put her in her crate for the night, we let her hang out on our bed. she is just too cute to resist!









stella bath time

brian gave stella a bath this week, and had to snap some pics of her in her "drowned rat" look. she doesn't seem to mind the bath too much, although she likes it best when someone is in the actual tub with her -
