New Fire Pit

While Dan's parents were in town in June, we pit in a stone area for a fire pit.

It was super hard work to level out the ground , move rocks and make it flat. But it turned out really well! We have really enjoyed it.
We also got a sitting area for our deck- YEAH! Thank you again D&C! We use this a ton as well. It is so relaxing to sit outside and enjoy our beautiful greenbelt

Backyard is complete!

Ready for smores...!

I have loved nights enjoying smores....

wine....

and our flowers....

Mukilteo Beach

Sadly, we have only have 5, yes 5, days over 80 degrees this summer! But...we got lucky and spent one of them at the Mukilteo Beach on a low tide day.

The rocks were pretty slippery with all the seaweed...but it was fun looking for sea life. We mostly found hermit crabs and little crabs.

Trip to Elesa's!

Madden and I got to head to California this month to visit Elesa! It was the first time meeting Ms. Reese. She just turned ONE!

Sweet Reese

Exploring in the backyard is her favorite!

Elesa & Reese

We went to a Zoo! She was so excited

...I did not take my camera out much on this trip (ugh!), but it was great to see Elesa & Marc, go wine tasting, see Rachael & Elesa's parents. Next year, everyone needs to come down and we'll hit Santa Cruz!

Rugby Camp!

A couple of our employees play Rugby and their team hosted a camp this summer in Seattle that the girls attended & had a BLAST!

It was a 6 week camp and the girls really had a lot of fun. Hope to do it again next year!
