Our Weekend

Independence day shouldn't come and go without a BBQ! We celebrated on Saturday with our 'Kirkland Friends'. AmyCan made ribs (her first time) and they were fabulous. I was in charge of desserts... what says 4th of July better than a sparkling strawberry pie? I also made a peanut butter pie which has lots of cool whip on top (cool whip = summer). It was a super nice evening outside with great friends and kids that all went to sleep so that the adults could have some time too! Sorry that we had to leave before the Rockband party got hot... I still have to wake up and feed the little guy once during the night :)

Check out Lynda's pictures from the BBQ!

On the 4th, we stayed in most of the day--wishing that the weather was as nice as it was in February this year. We've had a lousy spring, but summer is coming this week--just in time for Aunt Steph's visit!

Today we took the boys to Pike Place Market. Colden had fun riding on dad's shoulders and checking everything out. He liked the infamous piano player as well as a the guy playing the guitar and singing in Italian? We also saw some fish get thrown--pretty impressive! We spent a little bit of time at one of our favorite spots selecting cheese, dry cured meats and bread for tonight (yum!). Colden even tasted the cheeses with us. Halibut from our favorite fish monger, some fresh veggies and of course some vino... what a nice way to end the long weekend!

p.s. still haven't found my camera (Lynda snapped some shots from the BBQ though--so check back!)
