Instagram Catch Up & A Promise.

Ok, I'm just going to say it: I am such a bad blogger of late. Seriously. And sorry if you're like the three people that read this and I've been shamelessly neglecting you like last November. I need to work on that, however, in my defense: I absolutely can not string together meaningful thoughts, coherent (albeit hilarious) stories, and witty repartee on my iphone. And this summer has run away from me like Harper into a busy street. I haven't taken the time to sit down and piece together posts. For shame! I just can NOT write on that thing; which I take to mean I'm not morphing into a low-brow simpleton. I'm also quite confident Jane Austen could not do her best work on one of those things either. Take that, Apple. But don't be too offended; I still use and enjoy you: see below. So in lieu of a grand gesture to win you back, I'm going to catch you up via iphotos wherein you'll be mollified for a short time by the fact that: I PROMISE to return with meatier posts which have global implications and smart, sassy, spot-on commentary. And because I couldn't write it or say it better, this made me feel like Christians who love Jesus and PEOPLE aren't a dying breed. She says with dark humor...read this.

Day at the Museum.

Today we ventured up to the Seattle Children's Museum. I'd never taken my girls there before and figured they might like it. Well, my goodness did they EVER. Such a fun morning with them discovering things and exploring. oh, and I'm raising a Diva. Capital D. Might be time for new confessions...

Protienikka 2012

As is every year, Protienikka was a delightfully funny evening centered around delicious eats and treats! Joey has outdone himself this year...simply put: the food was epic. Lamb, premixed drinks like strawberry basil margaritas, bone marrow on crisp pieces of finely toasted bread, pork belly, and sauces galore!
Amazing. The roast master also known as one Tyler Bell, made an appearance; insisting on roasting MY marshmellow and not even eating a s'more. This year was the year of the Total Gym, which I'll be sure to actually find a picture of because it would be worth it. Tim started hyping me for the crossfit games 2013, which esstentially I equate to Pauly D. jumping on a grenade, but I digress...
Such a great night with family and friends; old and new. Joe, thank you for your hard work, passion, and living next door!

Rides and Shades.

Pea's birthday party was a bikes and shades themed shin dig. It was so cute and I'm proud of my girl for choosing such a fun theme. We had a race, bike decorating contest, and apple pie. All were huge hits! It was also the perfect day for shades; so, SO hot. Love my little party girl and I hope her day of celebrating was exactly what she wished for...

Instagram Catch up.

(Insta)tuting a new post title here on the blog: Instagram Catch up. It's mostly daily pictures of our life that don't have a theme, but that I post on Instagram. So without further ado...
