Happy 3rd Birthday Sadie!!

Poor thing was scared of her birthday candle (It's left over from the big 30 - no worries, we are not that obsessed with our dog...well, maybe a little...). Birthday feast of scrambled eggs, turkey, and peanut butter. Her favs- gone in 30 seconds flat!

Do I have to???

Fourth of July Weekend, 2008

Hiking Eagle Ridge Butte, Redmond, OR

Follow me, I'll show you the way....














My favorite hikers along the way.

















The view at the top:




























Sadie and I at the "summit" of Eagle Ridge Butte (a name we made up for the hill down the street).





























Follow me, I'll show you the way back down. This was my very first hike off leash, and I did very well, and LOVED it.....shhhhh, don't tell. We didn't see anyone on the way up, so we knew we were okay goin' down.

Dog Mountain on the Columbia River Gorge

We went hiking with our friends from church.

















You have to have a dog to be a member of our Sunday School class (not really, but we all do have one -or two- and they all get along!).














The weather was really crummy...


















Me and my sweet dog.


















First hike post-surgery and she did very well. We were hoping to wear her out (the hike is STRAIGHT uphill). Didn't even phase her.


















Luke and I are dog (mountain) tired.















































We had a blast and enjoyed the beautiful day and scenery!

Father's Day- Putt Putt

The Boys.













The Girls (Kristen taking photo).














The Evil Sand Traps... (notice a pattern in the next three photos?)

Cruisin' Sherwood

Next year we're bringing Jason...He probably would have taught us a thing or two!













Although my dad knows a little bit about cars too...

I LOVE my Uncle Luke!

Back away Aunt Kristen!! He's mine, ALL mine!


































It is possible she's all smiles cuz Luke looks like her dad... Well, at least that's what I told myself when she cried everytime Luke left the room....

Seattle Sitters and Sisters

Luke and I watched our nieces, Jorja and Gigi, for a weekend while their mom and dad gallivanted about Yosemite.













Silly Aunt Kristen, this is a crown for Princess Jorja, not a visor! What were you thinking writing my name upside down??

We think they put up with us okay.

"Wanna go for a RIDE?"

"Do I have to go to the vet again??"

















"Wait! That's Grampa's driveway!"

The Aftermath of Spring Softball

Taken right before....












Softball meets lip.

Spring Softball

Our biggest, well really, our littlest fans.












Luke LOVES this sport. We did pretty good in our first tournament. Go Beaverton First Baptist!

Memorial Day BBQ

Sadie doesn't care for PDA and Kristen doesn't care for getting kicked in the face by a wiggley dog.




























Sadie had a bit too much to drink...
