Pesto

I love PESTO....all the garlic, pine nuts, and basil.

The Moon

Last night when I was driving home I noticed how cool the moon looked and I have been wanting to take pictures like this- lucky for me- I typically always have my tripod with me and my camera. What I didn't have was my zoom lens...so the moon looks very tiny...next time I will have my zoom lens...they turned out ok.

Weekend Work...

Brian has been working on our sprinkler system in his every spare moment. The yard has been done for awhile, but he has been working on the pasture in preparation of the cows. As some of you might know cows are destructive to sprinkler....they rub on them constantly...so Brian has invented a this little system in hopes that we don't have to fix sprinklers every other week!

Maddy- as usual surveying the job being done.

Cutting....

Pounding....

TaDa!

R is for Raspberry Pie

Brian loves raspberries, and has been asking me to make him a raspberry pie. So I went to mom's picked him some berries and made him a pie! And it was CAPITAL D- Delicious!

Troutlodge...Fish Farm

Last night we went over to Shaun and Andrea's for dinner and a little Fish Farm Tour. They live at Troutlodge in Soap Lake. It was way cool! Read on.....

LOOK at HOW many little fishies are in this pond, it was amazing!

The definition of 'Fish Outta Water'

Shaun and Trooper.

Trooper really liked the camera lens.

The rare Blue Trout (these are a very rare fish, that are sterile) apparently they just pop up every now and then with some weird genetics...very cool looking.

Me, Andrea, and Tricia

Seriously, how could anyone resist this cute little puppy face?

Boating with the Bitty

This weekend Eric, Jolene, and Adelaide came home for the weekend for Jolene's 10 year re-union. So on Friday afternoon we took little Addy Lou out for her very first boat ride. She loved it!

Photo Booth

One of my long time hopes and dreams has finally come true...I bought my self a MAC laptop, she is beautiful and her name is Alli, I will introduce her later...but right now I have to post these SILLY pictures. Last night I was at the Pingetzer's house and we were playing around on the Photo Booth- it is absolutely hilarious what you can do! I was laughing so hard, and little Austin was loving seeing her face on the computer screen. We even made a movie. I just can't get enough of this thing!

Cherries

It's Cherry season! My neighbor Brenda took me to her friends orchard so we could pick cherries, they were amazing! Crispy and sweet! I got so many cherries....and my fingernails were black from pitting them! I dried, freezed, and made a delicious cherry sauce, next on the list...PIE!

Wonderful Weekend on the Water

Brian's college roommate Aaron and his girlfriend Amy came over this weekend for a little boating trip...Aaron shares the same passion for skiing as Brian...so on Saturday we headed to Crescent Bar for a little evening skiing and then Sunday Brian didn't have to work a full day so we headed to Lake Roosevelt for a BEAUTIFUL day on the water! We took the little weber and BBQ'd burgers! It was a perfect day!

Amy and I wearing our lifejackets as diapers....(Jolene- do you remember this as a kid?) Amy and her sister used to do this all the time too!

Brian and I having a cherry pit spitting contest...I do believe I was the champion!

Twirling...

Have I mentioned that I LOVE these dresses, I think every girl needs one! Look at how they can twirl, it is amazing! you do have to be a little careful- as you can see from the pics- one must be wearing the correct undergarments...

Bryan and Emily

So I am totally oversharing on this post, but I can't help it because Bryan and Emily looked amazing and if my pics turned out this decent then I can't wait to see the real photographers...you guys were amazing and I loved every minute of this wedding!

Wedding Weekend

Thursday- Lyndenn and I headed to Wenatchee to meet Emily to get our toes and nails done. Then we went back to the Silver residence where we made 100 and some caramel apples for the wedding, and posed in our cute cute aprons! Friday- morning we hit the road for Lynden stopping to pick up Emily's flowers from the grocery store (she just ordered flowers and made her own bouquets, she is amazing like that) then we decorated, had rehearsal, and then an excellent dinner at the Bellingham Golf Course! What a fun 2 days already- and we still have the wedding to go!

Us Girls and the Grooms Brother Brenden, Bryan the Groom, and Chris, the brides brother.

Bryan and Emily

This past weekend we headed up to Lynden, Wa for the wedding of our good friends Bryan and Emily, but before I get through all the pics to post, I will post the wedding invitation that I had the pleasure of designing for them. The wedding invitation is definately an indication of how FUN the entire weekend was...I couldn't help my self...here is my a sneak peak photo...
