Happy Anniversary To Us!!!

That's right Brent and I have been married for 2 years now. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday and other times it seems like we've been together for years. Unfortunately this year it lands on a Monday, which was also Brent's first day of the summer semester, so we decided to celebrate early. We enjoyed a beautiful day in Seattle; it was 75 degrees and sunny. We spent sometime wandering around Pike's Place Market.

Then we headed to Safeco field for the real reason for our trip...

The Mariners Red Sox game!!! Brent is a big Red Sox fan, so we were exciting to hear that they were coming to Seattle during his time off from school and so close to our anniversary. We had a great time at the game and even better the Red Sox won 5 to 3!!!










Warm Weather

The weather here has been really nice, which made it nice for Brent's week off from school. I took a few days off from work so that we could spend some time together. Payton liked having someone to play with him in the backyard.
Payton has able to spend a lot of time playing outside with the neighbors' dogs.

Payton and Lily have been spending a lot of time together.

This is Sancho Payton's other friend. Sancho is a very temperamental little guy, but he and Payton have a good time chasing each other around the yard. We are so glad to have a nice yard for Payton to play in and such great neighbors to share it with.

Sunday Drive

Em and I took a drive today and decided to take some pics to show everyone what WA is like. The best way I can describe it is WA is just like ID, but instead of sugar beet and potatoe fields they have hops.
This is a hop field you can see they grow from the ground up on these cords that hang down from the top wires. Hops are used to make sad men happy and ugly women appealing. I am pretty sure that is how half of the marriages here came to pass and three fourths of the kids came to existence. Apparently WA is kinda well known for apples. But what they do not tell you is that the farmers get a little upset when you go out into the orchards and pick an apple without asking. Now I like to think that this blogging tool is a good way to educate people, especially children, so the moral of this story is children learn how to run really fast so that you can outrun those mean old farmers who do not like to share their fruit. Here are some pictures of the surrounding orchards.




Right now seems to be a good spot in the blog to retract some statements previously made on this blog. I officially rescind (memories of that office episode(and if you do not know which episode I am talking about you are not a fan)) everything I said about the new Scrubs! After that first episode it just went down hill. So from here on out I will not even acknowledge the fact that Scrubs was ever on ABC. And I mean really name me one good TV program that ABC has brought into my life> You cannot do it, don't you dare try and tell me Dancing with the stars, yeah right do not bring that weak sauce into this conversation. Lost, c'mon get lost.

What I find funny is that Em continues to let me post these posts even after my random rants that I occasionally go through. With that said here are some pictures of a tree in our back yard. Em worked on it in this program called Picasa





It is really beautiful here in WA and it is a great place to come and visit and play golf. They say on this side of the state we get 300 days of sunshine and it is true. So come on up, I have this up coming week left with tests, then I get a week off. Then I go back to school till June 12th, then I am done for the summer till Aug 10th.
