Bean at the beach

Snoqualmie Falls

Today we went to Snoqualmie Falls for a little day trip. It was a really nice drive, & the weather actually cooperated:)

A few pics from Oregon

These are pics from the girls only trip that I went on back in July. I love that I wore flip flops in the snow...what a dork! It was hot though. These are all from Mt. Saint Helens.

Bean & E

This is Bean's favorite place to be:) She loves Eric! She loves me too, but she is gaga over E! I begged for a dog, picked her out of the litter, and still...she is a daddy's girl. But I really can't blame her, he is pretty charming.

3 Things

Ok, I have 3 things to blog about....First, I went to a baby shower on Saturday & it was very fun. We played new, different games than the usaul shower games & had cake, but we also had "birth" conversations! OMG!!!!!!!!! I have never been so terrified, (that is probably not true, I am easy to scare actually), but anyway I am terrified. I still don't know If I want to reproduce:), but these stories I heard make the choice easier. Hours of labor, puking, non working drugs, biting, kicking of husband in face (my favorite story) & morning sickness!! Uh uh, no thanks.

#2 I am having a tonsillectomy, again I am terrified as I have never had a real surgery. If anybody has had one please tell me about it even if it was horrible:)

#3 The weather this summer in Washington has sucked! Pardon my French. It is practically fall now, so I guess we can kiss any dream of a long warm summer goodbye:( But that is ok, it's still pretty here, even if it's cloudy.

Torch Light Parade

Ok, these pics aren't that good:( I dropped the good camera & broke it. I am so clumsy. These were taken at the torch light parade here in Seattle last Saturday. It is the kick off for Seafair, which is a huge local celebration. This was the largest parade I have ever been to. I think the estimate was 300,000 people. Eric is the one playing the tuba. He had to carry that thing for 4 miles...I would have been dead!

Day Trip to Mt. Ranier

Last weekend we went hiking at Mt. Ranier. If you look closely you can see the blue of the glaciers on the mountain top. It was very warm that day, & cool to see people playing in the snow in July. ( I was glad that it didn't blow any lava out:)
