Weekend Fun!!

I’m not feeling very well thus the delay of this weekend fun post! The weekend happened so fast that I can’t recall what we did already.  I remember dogs playing, dinner with friends,”harvesting” more salads from the garden, Church, lounging around the house! Our weekend in pics:

Weekend Fun!!

This week was great, with lots of sunshine and I can honestly say summer is “officially” here in the PNW!  I’ve been enjoying my time in our yard and loving the feeling of “harvesting” the herbs we planted, and putting them to use is just great thing for me.  This weekend, Hubby and my Dad In law set up our summer table so I’m looking forward to eating outside more often in the comfort of our yard, and relaxing and loving the sunshine!  We also “babysat” Lexy yesterday afternoon while my In laws went biking, Riley had a great time. They are so funny together (so competitive yet so gently with each other) makes me laugh!  We finally saw the Amazing Spiderman movie and we really liked it a lot! Hubby even said that he liked this movie more than the previous spiderman movies:) Here are the bazillions of pics I took this weekend (still using the iPad, I can’t wait to get a normal camera!!)

Weekend Fun!!

We had a great weekend celebrating our Riley’s 2nd birthday. We had a simple dinner with my In laws here at our house (my Dad In Law prepared pulled pork) and Hubby took care of side dishes. Aside from that, it was a really relaxing weekend here at home. We watched a couple of movies, Church, arranged my stockpile,watched the U.S Olympics trials like they’re paying us:-)..our weekend in pics:-)

weekend fun!

We had a great Father’s day weekend here at home with my Hubby’s family. We prepared steaks,shrimp and enjoyed a coconut cream pie from the Dahlia Bakery for Father’s Day dinner. Hubby and I watched the movie Prometheus last Friday night at Seattle Cinerama (the best theater in Seattle but kinda expensive ,in my opinion) I got  a movie voucher that had free popcorn and that was expiring soon so I wanted to use it. Hubby wanted to watch the movie and enjoyed it but it’s not my kind of movie though. Before the movie, we had sushi and I ate too much salmon:-)

Weekend Fun!

Our weekend consisted of watching the movie, “The Avengers” (finally), Pizza, and a little road trip to Black Diamond where we got to see a great view of Mt. Rainier.  The weather was just glorious and sunny, so we really are enjoying it while the sun is here! I can’t wait for summer to be here..

Weekend Fun!!

I know this is kind of a late post from our weekend activities,but I’m posting anyway!  Hubby’s co-worker  invited him to go geoduck digging, and he was so excited to do this and “convinced” me to go with him. Hubby was having a grand time and this makes me happy knowing he’s enjoying his Saturday!  It was a long day though because we had to get up early and drive to Seattle and take the Ferry going to Bainbridge Island (where they did the digging). I’ve never had Geoduck before so it was also an exciting thing for me to witness, it took a while to even get one. But in the end it was worth it.  I can finally say I had geoduck “meat”, sashimi style, and it was tasty!  On another note, we hired a gardener last week to clean our yard and they “prepared” the area for our vegetable planter/box ,so last Sunday afternoon my DIL helped Hubby to finalize the box and this coming weekend will probably go to Home Depot and get soil so I can plant all the herbs and veggies that I’ve been dying to plant!

we have to take Riley with us, there’s no way he’ll be in the crate for more than 5 hours!
