Brie + Burger = Awesome.

My parents bought half of a free roamin' cow, and were sweet enough to give us a few pounds of hamburger from it... Bryan got ahold of it, ad behold! A roasted garlic and brie stuffed burger, with brie on top. HOLY COW (literally). Amazing beef, amazingly cooked-- I was so impressed I had to post! Apparently, happy cows make happy cheese (and happy beef as well! Well, sort of... :)

Pizza, haircuts and family

Friday Grete came over for an impromptu Pizza night-- we ended up making (with Grete's amazing home made pizza dough) a margharita pizza (with basil, mozzarella, tomatoes and prosciutto), pepperoni with kalamata olives, and a Chicago style deep dish pepperoni... so tasty. The end of the night left everyone sleepy (notice my sleepy boys... adorable!)

Yesterday Mom and dropped by to drop off my sister's treadmill (thanks Sister!) and stayed for dinner. Yesterday was neat too, I got my mom out to Issaquah with me to visit Kyle at Sorella to try and fix my now grown-out bob-- such a fun day!! We went to a tiny Mexican place next door for lunch.. no pics of the hair as it was a first-round fix, but it was a great day overall! So much fun!

Brrrrr.

Last week brought a tiny snowstorm, which brought icy roads and the coldest wind I've felt since Bellingham-- none of which seemed to bother our puppy at all, who thought it was the best... here are a few pics from the other week!

ATTACK.

Just a few snapshots of a Walter-snuggle attack that happened on the couch... our puppy is a dork. (*notice*... the 'no couch' rule lasted all of 3 weeks... it was worth a shot!)

A visit from Amy...

Amy (my sister) popped over last Saturday to bring Walter a couple of toys (by a couple I mean TONS). It was so neat to steal her for a Saturday! We made breakfast and played with the pup, it turned out to be a pretty awesome day :D

Sorry this took so long to post-- I just felt the need to share!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Fall everyone! Just thought I would share a few updated pics of Walter-- he's finally sitting still long enough for me to take some photos of him. The past few days have been quite fun-- I am trying to figure out how to get photos off of my camera; I was invited to a co-worker's house to help make wine yesterday! It was very neat to be a part of; they were pressing 400 pounds of cabernet grapes for the second round of fermentation. The smell was incredible! I think one day I will try to do a small home kit... :)

This Halloween we are taking it easy-- it has been the weekend of movies and tasty food! Today the menu is stew and tasty bread... I'm very excited!

Meet Walter!

My 25th birthday was this past Saturday... and I was surprised with great news-- Bryan finally gave in bought me a puppy for my birthday! We just found him this week. He is an 14 week old golden retriever named Walter. So far he is still adjusting to his new home -- but so far he is doing better each hour! He is quite the snuggler... right now he wants nothing more than to curl up in your lap; or to pass out on you all together. I will be sure to post often about puppy updates!
