Evolution.

Kory and I have the most odd nicknames for each other (and the dogs), and they are constantly changing. I think it's funny/interesting how they evolve. These are just a few.  The sad thing is, the dogs respond to every single one of their names. I am a bad mom. 


Xander- Beagle-Boyfriend-Chunka-Chubba-Little tiny baby-Obese-Piggy


Kingsley-Kings-Kingus-Genghis Khan-Nugget-Rabbit-Stupid Looking


Sharon-Shar-Shark-Sharky-Sharkweek-Sharona


Kory-Kor Kor-Koryp-Kupy-Kubby-Bubba-Korpis-Hubba


Leche is a  noob so her only nicknames are Che Che, Sissy girl and sister. The dogs know her by Sister, and will go find her when I ask, " Where's your sister?"

Kor recently started calling me shaburbadeep and emailed me this drawing today. He is swell. 

I(heart)Shiva.

So we knew we were well past due for a ladies night, but we weren't sure what we wanted to do. We toyed with the idea of a movie and dinner, or a local concert but Summer being the awesome gal that she is stumbled upon I(heart)shiva night at the Baltic Room. It's a great little bar/club in downtown Seattle. We were sold. What is better than free henna, Bollywood inspired music and dancing? We really had a blast. I seriously love these ladies.

Thanks incredibly creepy, Canadian man who took this.

We got married on leap year in 2008, so we technically haven't had a real anniversary. We kind of like it that way, this way we just have a good excuse to celebrate the whole weekend! Kory planned a surprise weekend trip to Port Townsend. It was such a dreamy, little town. The kind of town you don't see a McDonalds or any other chain store of any sort. It didn't rain while we were there, but it was incredibly windy. We ate out every meal, lounged around, took walks on the beach, and collected rocks. Kor planned to take the scenic route and drove through Deception Pass. It really was breathtakingly beautiful and I am so glad we saw it. We had such a great weekend, and I owe it all to my leading man, Kor. I love you Bubba. 

Deception Pass.

So many awesome rocks!

My insides.

So I've been watching a lot of Grey's Anatomy (thank you Netflix) and although I have always known I wanted to be an organ donor, watching this silly show just validates it even more. Also, I have known a few people who have been saved by organ donations. I don't really understand why people don't want to donate their organs. 
So if I happen to die before I ever get around to writing a formal will, this is it world. I want to donate everything I can. Even my skin. 

That is all. Seacrest out. 

Bainbridge Island day o' fun!

Our sweet friends, the Singleys, so kindly invited us to go to Bainbridge island with them today. The sky was clear and blue which is pretty rare around these parts. To get to the island you have to take a ferry. We were so excited because it was our first time! Bainbridge is such a quaint little place and I enjoyed every second of it. The only photos I took were on the very windy ride over. Maybe one day I will have a real camera with flash. 

Thanks so much Singley family. We love you!

Priorities.

Today I spent $52 for Kingsley to get groomed. That is the cheapest price around too. He gets groomed about every 3 months. That is over $200 a year. Both Kory and I combined probably spend around $75 a year for our hair. Such a charmed life my dogs live. 

Kings sporting his new do. He is so unbelievably cute I could cry. 

You-Tah

I went to Utah again! Are you surprised? I can't get enough.

I had an amazing, fun-filled trip. I have the best family and friends. 

There was....

A surprise (me) for a very, new eight year old.

A Chinese New Year party.

A Classic Skating birthday party.

A baptism.

A birthday party for a very spoiled four-year-old.

 

A Michael Jackson Dance party.

A day at the slopes.

A very silly family dinner.

There were so many other people and things not pictured, but I really am so blessed to have all the amazing people in my life. A very special thank you to Cindy for the buddy pass.

When Addi came to visit me a month ago she really wanted to make a purse. We started one, but then my sewing machine went on the fritz. So it really wasn't a well made purse. Her mom told me she still wears that pitiful little purse around everywhere. So I decided for her birthday I would make her a nicer one. It was super easy and fun! Course' I had to add my signature doily :)
