4 Year Anniversary - Lake Chelan

We celebrated our 4 year anniversary by going camping to Lake Chelan. We had a wonderful weekend!

Duke' First Swim

Duke slept in the tent with us and did very well! He was so cute - this is how I woke up on Sunday morning. :)

Memorial Day Backpacking

This year we backpacked on the Olympic Coast over Memorial Day. We didn't get as lucky as last year and ran into a bit of rain! Oh well, the first day was nice. :)

DUKE - 3-6 months

Here are some more recent photos of the baby! :-)

California - April 2010

We recently went to CA for the weekend to visit friends and family. Here's a couple cute photos of Jack - posing with the models in Old Navy! :)

Landscaping!

This weekend we finally landscaped our front yard. We just had lava rock with big pots in the front. We took all that out, planted some rhododendron (the WA state flower) and heather and added bark. I'll try to find a "before" picture but here is the finished product. On to the backyard next weekend! :)

Growing, Growing, Growing!

Our puppy Duke hardly seems like a puppy anymore. He will be 4 months this week and just keeps growing. Here are some pictures from snowshoeing a couple of weeks ago and some older ones (when he was 9 weeks) in our backyard. We are very excited to begin home obedience class this weekend and hoping to work on some of his "puppy behavior" (biting, jumping, all the fun stuff!).

Hawaii - February 2010

In February Marc and I went to Maui to visit my parents for the week and we invited some friends of ours from our Bible Study ... Oh yeah, and we didn't tell them we were coming! Here are a couple of photos from our trip.

More of Sir Duke!

Here are some more photos of the baby ...
