my weekend...

My weekend nights...during this freezing and unpredictable winter.... I can usually be found in the same place.

Nestled comfy on our couch with my husband and puppy.

See, our weekend is almost 100% all about entertaining our littlest member.

-------------------------------------------------

This picture is the one we sent out with our wedding invitations, its located on our fireplace, and one of my all time favorites.



I love this plaque and I also LOVE small black and white photo booths. Hy and I took those goofy pictures this last spring while we were at a HUGE Portland festival on the WaterFront.



Lily and Hy keeping the couch warm....we have to be careful what Lily watches on TV... she gets upset sometimes.



Im sorry but how can you not love this goofy face? This is one of my favorite pictures of her and I think it portrays her personality to a T!



My legs have become the nightly bedtime position for Lily before we head upstairs. She is a big snuggler.

Dying Day....

Faga Fuamatu... RIP January 2009

In his honor, one of his cousins singing one of his songs. You see Faga for a second in white, left hand of the screen.

Taking a day or two...

Lily and I were lazy today and laid round the house. Lily has been having ear problems, the same ones since she was a puppy. And I am just hanging out around the house today. Waiting for Hy to get home from work.







------------------------

Tomorrow Rudee and I are probably going to be hanging out... maybe heading down to China town and the Japanese Peace Garden. Two of my favorite parts of Portland...






------------------------------

Or maybe Hy and I will take a drive out to the Oregon hills, one of my favorite places.

We take our dog parks VERY seriously...

I had major case of stir-crazy today and really felt like I had to get out of the house. So Lily and I decided to hit up the dog park. We got all bundled up only to find out that (once again) Daddy went to work with Lily's leash. The only logical thing to do??

Buy a new one!

Easier said than done. Not wanting to fall prey to corporate establishments, I decided to spread the wealth and buy a leash somewhere other than Petco or Walmart. After 4 stores of only finding leashes for dogs that weigh 20 lbs *read Lily does not!* I succumbed for the least obvious and ended up at Safeway.

Mission accomplished ( 2 hours later)

We ended up a the dog park, which thanks to Vancouver's notorious love of percipitation, was a big old mess of mud. I started out wth a white adorable puppy and ended up with a big old brown mess....who wanted to snuggle.

I didnt take too many photos of the day, and the 2 I did take are definately grainy. My dog does not run slowly...so considering she is actually in the picture.... I will count that as a victory.







Anyway...after the great fun of the dog park (and the after-bath), Hy and I started to settle in for the night. Dinner. Movies. The good stuff. But then I had a back spasm and my muscles in my back locked up! So I spent a fair amount of time tonight checking out our ceiling. Good stuff.

Dance Dance

I just got back from my second dance class of this week. Yesterday was belly dancing and today was hip hop. I forgot that I missed dancing and I also forgot how out of shape I am! It feels really good to be so disgustingly covered in sweat. I didn't make ANY new years resolutions, but I did last week decide that I wanted to start living more. So dance class is only the beginning.

Maybe I will even convince Hyrum to join the ballroom dance class....

I wont hold my breath.
