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 -

puppy love!

a house just isn't a home unless you have a dog - something we had heard quite often and once we brought our little bundle of joy home from Idaho we certainly believed it!
