Dog Days of Summer

Summer is almost over and we are becoming nostalgic for fun summer days and yet wanting fun fall activities to start too! Alas the grass is always greener... These pictures represent our feeling completely! Our favorite summer outfit and cute new rain boots!

So Martha...

Just kidding, but this is my Martha inspired project of the week! Shout out to Debi for the wonderful birthday gift of a Joann's (pure love.) gift card!

Cork board: painted by yours truly...

Cork board with my pictures & such on it!

Count Me In!

The best I could get of Pea counting on video! Love my little pea...

You Say it's Your Birthday...

Well, it's my birthday too! Today, as a matter of fact. In light of this special occasion, I thought I would put up some pictures of what Ty and I did to celebrate on Friday! It was a foodies paradise-we definitely made the rounds...

First up: Slim's Last Chance for appetizers and by appetizers I mean a heaping cup of chilli!! Chilli Verde served over white cheddar cheese grits. Dang.

Next: We went to the tattoo shop where Ty got his tattoo to inquire about a painting from the artist who did his tat. While we were there, said artist wanted to take a picture of his work!

Next up: Dinner! Now let's pause for a minute. Moment of silence for how GOOD this meal was. I can't describe other than to say it was delicious...

And last, but certainly not least: A cupCAKE for my birthday from Cupcake Royal-red velvet with cream cheese frosting, mmm mm.

Now if this post doesn't make you hungry there's something wrong with your mouth:)

Pregnancy Update: Have my first doc appt today!

T is for Taryn!

Happy Birthday dear girl!

Love:

That you live next door!

Your FIGHT and determination.

Your ability to war for others in prayer.

Your listening ear.

That our friendship grows with each passing year.

Your fun headbands!

Your baby:)

And most of all your WARM spirit.

Have a wonderful day!

Two Peas in a Pod

Today is my parent's wedding Anniversary! I am pretty sure it's been 33 years, but I could be off by a year...
GREAT picture of my parents (pre-me, Chase, and Chandler). Don't you love how his tie matches my mom's dress? If they were any other couple I would definitely say that was planned, but knowing them I'm guessing it was funny coincidence?

Classic.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!! Hope it's a wonderful day!

Love, Chels
p.s. Happy Birthday Papa Steve!

No, no, NFL serious.

My readers (Casey) love when I post funny tidbits about Tyler. So in the spirit of love and fun we have to talk about how serious Ty is about playing on his rec league football team; Bad Newz Kennelz (yes, that's the team name) coming to a Maple Valley park near you starting in September. We have some newbies this year-shout out Big Al. Back to business: the other day I was talking to a girlfriend and she was asking me about these games (she knows how competitive Ty is) and says, "Does he get pretty intense?" To which I reply, "Girl, you have no idea-it's NFL serious."

As a casual observer you might think you're witnessing a game upon which life or death depends. Am I right football widows (Taryn, Andrea?). I'm not even going to get into the actual FIGHT in the parking lot last year between Bad Newz and some other rec league CHURCH team, but I can tell you I had to access my inner b*&@# to get Ty into our car and, that's right, I child-safety-locked him in.

Let's pray no more fights this year-just good clean competition and fun! Here are some pics of practice last night and Ty in last year's uniform. To answer your question: yes, they actually practice weeks before. So come on out to Lake Wilderness Park some Saturday in September and witness the awesomeness that is my husband playing a game he loves so. so. much.

coneheads.

love it.
