we've been busy

July has been too busy....and it is hot in Seattle! I thought I moved away from 90 degree weather. At least we don't have mosquitoes. Anyway, here is a little update:

Nollie turned 5. We had a BBQ to celebrate. She got some gifts....







We went to the Sounders vs. Chelsea game with Matt & Claire and Jen & Daren. After the game we went to Stellar Pizza in Georgetown....where I discovered Bacon Salt. I went to the No Doubt concert with Claire. I also went to the US Open Cup semi-final game with Claire. By far it was the best game I went to all season.....7 yellow cards and overtime. We won.

Mike's backyard project continues from last summer. Here is his trench for wiring up the garage.





The kitchen is green....finally. I bought the paint a year ago and just finished up painting, sort of. I still need to paint the refrigerator alcove and the back porch.



I expect August will be just as busy!

PAAAARRRRRRRRTYYYYYYY!!!

My kids will be real proud of this one someday; I know my parents are.

Try not accepting the disclaimer for arrogant bastard. I found it amusing (particularly the "not" link).
