Nail Polish and Beaches

Darby got the royal treatment from her GG and Boppa the other day while we visited Bremerton. GG was painting her nails in her classic dark, dark red, and of course Darby wanted in on it. Boppa even helped and did a foot ;)

We visited Jetty Island for the first time earlier this week and I must say, we had a blast! It was such a beautiful day, and the water is surprisingly warm for Washington water!

Over The Hill

My sweet hubby turned 30 yesterday! I know, I know - 30 isn't old.....but it SOUNDS old to you when you first turn 30! Im sure it sounds young to 40 somethings, but seriously, how am I married to a 30 yr old?! Where has the time gone? But alas, Dave makes it look good! :)
I figured since you only turn 30 once I should torture him with a little surprise birthday get together. So I told him we were meeting our friend Kris for drinks, but when we arrived he was surrounded by friends ready to celebrate. He was surprised and had a great time catching up with everyone. I only took a few pics right at the beginning before everyone arrived. I had wanted to get a group shot once everyone was there but forgot! Blast!

Happy 30th Dave! Here's to many many more! 

Boys Know How To Party

A couple of Darby's bestest boyfriends, William and Liam, had a combo 2 yr birthday party at Rhododendron Park in Kenmore. It was so fun to celebrate with them, and of course Darby loved the pizza and cupcakes!

Look at this spread!



Hello piggy

Bye bye piggy

Happy 2nd Birthday William and Liam!

Super Model

Recently our friend Claire Gilfillan had a little photo session with Darby. Darby was being her regular sassy self and Claire still managed to capture such amazing shots! Im so happy with them all and would recommend her highly to anyone! She does great with kids. Thank you Claire!

Quiet Sunday

Today we had big plans to go check out the Bite of Seattle, but changed our minds and just stayed in.
Darby had fun painting with Daddy.



And we finally put together the kitchen she got from Bama and Boppa for Christmas! She was so excited and didn't stop playing for 2 hours (and that was only because it was bedtime)


She told me she was 'just cooking some goldfish soup and cupcakes' :)

Summer Lovin'

Nothing better than beating the heat with your best boyfriend ;)

Random Catching-Up-Ness

Im falling behind yet again on the old bloggy blog. So here's a quick recap.

There were some sunny days with cake and friends


And there were some rainy days with cupcakes and friends! Darby had fun helping Noah celebrate turning three at Willis Tucker, even with the wet weather

The birthday boy, Noah. Yum!


We had a Father's Day celebration at Tom and Sue's house. As you can see, daughter loves snuggling up close to her daddy


And on Saturday I ran in the Rock N Roll half marathon. Dave, Darby, Tom and Sue were cheering from the sidelines around mile marker 8. Seeing them revived me and gave me the energy to get my second wind and finish the 13.1 miles strong! Thanks for cheering us on! Dave's brother James ran the FULL marathon!! He did amazing and is truly inspiring! So impressed that anyone can run that distance. I ran with my sweet friend (and stroller strides instructor) Amber. Here we are at the beginning:


Here's Darby waiting to see Mama or Uncle James run by (she looks so excited)


Here comes Mommy! (I was waving at Darby)


There's Uncle James! He's wearing the grayish shirt with black shorts

Here is my ultra spiffy finisher certificate ;)


I beat my hubby and in-laws to the finish line so no post race pics with my little medal ;) And I just am not going to pay the $29.95 for the post-race pic they take for you at the end. What a rip! That's our last 2 weeks(ish) at a glance!
