Mt. Cheam

Last Weekend I got to go to Canada to visit the wonderful Emily for a quick trip, totally worth it though becuase whenever I go to Emily's we always end up on some sort of adventure, this weekend adventure was RAD!  Yep, I totally used the term rad!  We drove up to Mt. Cheam parked the rigs, and took the quads up father the mountain and then hiked for a few hours and had BLT's on the hill!  All of the family was in tow in celebration of Emily's birthday!

 Can you see the tiny people in the left bottom of this picture on the trail....yeah that's how far away that it...best part is we bum slid down this snow bank all the way....it rocked!  We climbed about mid way up that mountain...so beautiful!

Shower Time~

Last weekend we celebrated with a bridal shower for the wonderful Shelley!  Here are all the Faw Girls!

Maddy-Dog and Ruby Sue

When Mom and Dad went away for a few days Brian and I got to keep Ruby Sue and boy did Maddy enjoy that!  Some one to chew on and beat up!

Ruby Sue is like the youngest sibling that is always poking and prodding at the older sibling with out being caught and never gets introuble becuase the older sibling always reacts...yep that is Ruby and Maddy...

A Day at the Lake

Brian and I haven't spent a ton of time at the lake this year because the weather hasn't been awesome.  But we decided to take a day and go to Lake Roosevelt with the Roberts Fam.  It was a lovely afternoon!

Payton wanted to know when the dogs would be roasted!

Lyndsy carved Hayden's name in the sand!  He was pretty excited!

 She was perfectly happy as a clam just hanging out on the hot sand.

 Brian and Hayden racing up the hill.

 They did some log rolling...looks like Hayden lost.

I made sure the score was even! Brian lost this round!  

Farm Fresh

Who doesn't love summer really?  I know I do...fresh raspberries...warm sunshine...and long days!

 Amber gave me a dozen eggs the other day from her chickens...look at those purdy colors...she even lined them up in the carton like this for me!  Gotta love fresh produce!

Weddin' Weekend

This last weekend was the wedding of the wonderful Will and Nicole...it was a fantastic weekend full of our awesome friends!  The best part about weddings is that we get to see all of the great people we went to WSU with.  This wedding was chalk full of them!

 Emily was the wedding planner extraordinaire, Lyndenn was a lovely bridesmaid.

Jonda and myself were lucky enough to be the photographers!  Here we are with the lovely newlyweds! Who doesn't love a wedding with the groom in a cowboy hat, I know I do!

 This is Craig, him and Brian were state FFA Officers together way back when!

 BEST Part of this wedding, well besides the bride and groom- was the bridesmaids surprised Will and Nicole with the WSU Mascot at the reception...if you have never met him this is Butch the Cougar....Will was a WSU football star and this entire wedding was pretty much WAZZU fans so the Mascot was a HUGE HUGE hit!

 Josh and Brian have a tradition of getting their picture together at weddings...I should dig all of them out at somepoint...some of them are quite funny. 

 Oh hey there we are!

 Will know's how to make anyone laugh!

 This is a testament to the awesomeness of the friends that we made at WSU..there are probably a bunch missing as gathering people at a wedding reception is near impossible!

Scenic Drive

Lydnsy, Ashley, Kim, and Brian and I went on a beautiful scenic motorcycle ride this past week... We went over the North Cascades Highway (which was amazing) to Marysville to stay at Amber and Shane's house for the night, Amber is definitely the hostess with the mostest!...

It was an incredible ride! We had the most beautiful weather on our ride over, we were even in tshirts and tank tops it was so nice!  The rode home was definitely a little more chilly!  Thanks Roberts and Pingetzer Fam's for the awesome road trip!

Ashley looks like a rock star on a bike...look at her!

 Check out this view!

Kim, Ash and I

 Brian looks dang good on a bike!

 We stopped at Diablo Lake which was gorgeous!

 Lyndsy rocks! He hauled my butt around the entire trip and never complained!  I love being the passenger, its the ultimate multi-tasking for me...I get to be on a bike, enjoy the view, take pictures, and I was even texting!
