Father's Day weekend in Boise

Happy Father's Day to Gus (the new Dad!). We were able to meet little Miss Marquita while we were in Boise....she's absolutely adorable. It's kind of unbelievable to hold her--she's so tiny and beautiful and, well, perfect! She's really fun to stare at too! Check out the picture of her closet--lucky girl! It was so nice to see the family and enjoy the hot Boise weather.

Sun Valley!

We had an amazing weekend with Nicole, Evan, baby Ben, Tabitha and Kelly. We relaxed at Nicole's family cabin in Sun Valley for a few beautiful days in June--which we had planned in celebration of our 30th birthdays (believe it or not we're already planning for our 40th birthday celebration!). We saw some amazing scenery, ate delicious food and most importantly spent some quality time together.

New backyard landscaping!


Mom and Dad graciously helped us create a beautiful backyard landscape. Over the past 3 days we've learned a lot about Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Daylilies, Japanese Maples, Hostas, Ferns, White Lawn Heather, Bluebells, Ajuga and Creeping Jenny (yes, that's an actual groundcover), hauling rocks, replacing sprinkler heads and digging holes. Thanks to Mom, Dad and John for all of your hard work--we love our backyard!

Another 10K run...


Eileen and I ran the 10 Cane 10K run, a beautiful course through Tualatin & Tigard that started and finished at Bridgeport. We couldn't have asked for better weather....and the run was a fast one (thanks to Team Athena for helping us meet our goals)! Dave and Conal Devine, Dad, Mom, David, John and Kale were there to cheer us on.
