Summer Birthdays = Summer Fun!



So there are a TON of summer birthday's coming up! I had my last hoorah of my 20's in June, Marty & Mom are on the same day, and my 1st ever niece is turning one in August. The heat wave in North Carolina inspired us to get this ridiculously cute whale pool for little Sher-bear( As seen above)! Pottery Barn kids has the cutest trinkets for babies! With free shipping we could not pass this up! I kinda want one myself.....


Marty was not feeling the pink whale at all.


the blue whale wins!

My last birthday cake of my 20's.....


I wonder if I can get Marty to get this for my 30th??

Pretty lake, but where's the sun???!?




Green lake, is beautiful.. well when the sun is out. I think even the ducks look confused as they go on their daily swim. However, when the sun is out, I think even the ducks would agree, Green Lake is a beautiful place!





Cooking Mama!






Marty likes to eat & and I like to cook. Here are some of my favorites, before I met Marty I could barley boil water, think I might be on to something folks!






The Great American Outdoors!


Marty loves to camp. As for me, not so much. Hard ground, strange animal sounds, and artic temperatures just doesn't do it for me. However, with breath taking mountains and lakes, one can forget about the sharp rock digging in her back and the raccoon lurking in the trees with a mastermind plot to take over the woods.



Sights of the Pacific Northwest














I ran across this app the other day on my iphone called instagram. Gives any picture a cool feel and vintage look. It can pretty much make a chair look ridiculously cool. It is my new love for summer 2011!
