Driscoll Wedding

We had an amazing time last weekend at Heather and Ryan's wedding. It was non-stop all weekend but we enjoyed every minute of it. Hated to come home Sunday night and have to go to work Monday morning. We didn't get any pics of the actual ceremony so hopefully some got a couple. Here a just a few photos that may represent the awesomeness that was the "Driscoll Wedding".

Lovely Weekend

Grandma, Dawn and Joshua showed up Friday around noon. Perfect timing for lunch. We headed down to Art in the Park where there were tons of art booths set up but also some food vendors. (We also found some excellent elephant ears!) Headed back to the house afterwards for a nap. Stayed home that evening and visited. Saturday we went down to the farmers market which was nice that there weren't so many people there as normal. Back to the house for a nap which was followed by a trip to the zoo. Josh seemed interested but may still have been a little too young. Another nap in the afternoon (by everyone in the house) then took Grandma to dinner at Mai Thai for her birthday. Sunday morning we spent playing in the back yard. We all went to dinner at the Ram. They all took off Monday morning to get an early start to the long drive. We had a great weekend and was glad Joshua was able to get out of Washington for a while. He definitely needed some sun!

Roarrrrrr!

Help! The elephant got Joshua!

It was grandma's fault

All kids like to play in the rocks

Mason, I hope you don't mind if Joshua borrowed your pool.

Static head. The balloon didn't last very long. Won't say who lost it.

Bridal Shower

I flew in to Portland Friday morning for Heather's Bridal Shower on Sunday. I am feeling pretty lazy right now so I'm not going to write much, just put up some pics. Went to lunch with mom and dad Friday then out to Market Street Pub later that night to meet up with Kasey, Joey, Tara and Faith. Saturday I went to Olympia with mom and Shawna then had a great smoked turkey dinner that dad made. Dinner was just mom, dad, me and Spud. "It was a couples thing". Sunday was the shower which turned out pretty well and afterwards and went to dinner with Barry and Teri. Had to get up at 4:30 monday morning to catch my plane home. All in all it was a good weekend. Cant wait for Grandma and Dawn to get here on Friday.

Yes, we ARE doing a pyramid

Uncle Dennis stopped by so we made him take our pic

Heather made cupcakes for her own shower. They were beautiful though.

Pretty exciting, huh?

OMG!

Well I think they haven finally gotten as tall as they are gonna get. They are just now starting to bloom.

Ethel is doing well. She likes to share Lucy's food.

Making herself at home. Starting to venture outside a little more.

The little S#!*. How does 4 pounds do this to a house plant?

Kasey and Jesse

Kasey flew over from Chehalis and Jesse drove up from Vegas so we could have one heck of a good time. Friday we went to breakfast at a little place on the outskirts of town so Jesse could get a scone he had been dreaming of. (Sorry Jesse, the breakfast was awful). We let our stomachs settle a bit then tubed the river. Hazen and I then broke away from the party and went to the Shakespeare festival to see "Macbeth". Our anniversary was Saturday and we had already got tickets to the play before we knew Kasey and Jesse were coming over. It was our first Shakespeare play and I think we both decided we wouldn't ever see another one. Hazen was ready to leave at intermission but I convinced him to stay. Afterwards, we met up with Jesse, Kasey and Doug so the guys could play shuffleboard. Saturday was pretty relaxed. We went to a good breakfast then hit the horse races. Hazen will kill me if I don't say he was the big winner (even though he only won $14 on one race). Came home and took some pretty good naps before the Seahawks game came on. Watched a movie after that. Went to bed fairly early (1:30am). Sunday we had breakfast at home (biscuits and gravy, yummy). We went up to Table Rock to do the tourist thing with Kasey then back down to float the river again. Got Kasey off to the airport (I hate goodbyes!) then Doug and Tera came over for a bit before the guys went to play more shuffleboard. It was a great weekend. We had so much fun.

So relaxing

At the races. Notices the lady in the purple shirt behind Hazen. She gave us some bum information that we lost a bunch of money on.

Why???

Fun and Exhausting

Travis and Sarah decided to do a weekend camping trip in the Sawtooth Mountains. Teri went to their home in Logan, UT to see where they have been spending their summer then they all drove up to Boise last Thursday night. Mason got to hang out all weekend with Grandma, Aunt and Uncle. This was the first time Travis and Sarah have both left Mason. We had a great time and she was absolutely wonderful. We found out that it doesn't matter how good the kid is, it's still exhausting. Sorry moms, it may delay grandchildren on our end.
