Custom Home for Sale In Seattle Washington Area

We had a great weekend in Seattle visiting my grandparents. My grandparents build beautiful custom homes up in the Seattle area. We were able to tour a few of their homes. They are brilliant! Washington is a beautiful state and their homes are surrounded by the beauty that only the pacific northwest can offer. The trees are especially colorful at this time of year.

Here is one that they have finished and are trying to sell! If you know anyone who is looking for a high quality finished home let me know. They can buy this one or have one built just the way they want it!

You can see their work at http://www.masterbuilt-estatehomes.com/.

This is my passion....

I love to take pictures...its a hobby and a habit. I wish I could capture so many things on my memory card. I carry my camera everywhere with me just in case there is a photo opportunity, I don't want to miss out! One day I would love to get a big fancy camera that will take even better picture then my amazing point and shoot, even though Clint tells me that its not the camera but the talent behind the camera that makes a good picture. One day :)

Our little puppy is growing bigger each day. He can now put his head out the window and not fall all over the seat while atempting such a task. He is such a hadsome pup!

Oh Sydney!

We went over to Clints parents for dinner and got to play with Brookie and Sydney for a bit before we ate. At one time we were out on the trampoline and Sydney was having a ball....she is so adventurous. I got some cute pics that I had to post!

She would laugh when she fell...it was so cute.

She would laugh the whole time Clint was jumping with her between his legs.

Even Ruger joined us....he was a little wobbly.

Branson or Bust

We (Dad, Mom, Jessica, Clint, Michelle) went and picked up Matt, Reagan, and Preston for a weeks at Table Rock Lake. We had our boat in tow and were able to keep it in a slip all week! It was a blast....

Table Rock Lake is over near Branson Missouri. We usually do Lake Powell but because of location and travel time for the little one, Table Rock was a better choice for my bro and his family.

Dad grew a ginormous hubbard squash. It was his baby. He cut it right down the middle to find that there was a knife inside the squash already! Jess.... you devious girl. hah. Well Jess got the blame which was superb, but really Clint and Matt conspired. Jess was scared because she knew how much dad loves his squash. (compliments of Matt's blog :)

According to Matt...Clint is a pro bass fisher. He caught our first fish which we hesitantly threw back.

I like reading books when we go on vacation. I find I have more time to relax and enjoy a good book. Preston assisted me a bit in this attempt to finish my new book. He was quite interested and didn't want to let it go when it was time for his tubing adventure!

Preston got a lot of attentions from his Aunts
One day Preston, Reagan, and I came up early. Preston and I got to hang out while Reagan relaxed and took a shower. He had a great photo shoot!

Preston had his first tubing adventure....thanks to Grandpa's careful driving he lived to tell about it!

Happy Birthday to ME!

I wasn't expecting much because our schedules have been so busy and I was in my friend Affton's wedding the day of my birthday. But when I got home from work on Friday Clint said "Put on something nice, we have to leave soon." What...0k! He wouldn't tell me where we were going. His surprise was dinner at the Melting Pot. Yummm! We got a special spot in the back by the fireplace (very intimate and quaint)...the same table as when I took him for his birthday last year. It was nice to relax and enjoy each others company. We were so stuffed by the end we had to get the desert to go :) As we were driving away Clint reached in the back and pulled out two present!! After an expensive dinner I was not expecting to get a present.... it was exciting. I opened the first and it was a new camera.

I needed one since mine broke while we were in Sanabel, FL. The second present was a case and an extra battery....SWEET! We will get a lot of use out of this for work and play. I have been playing with it the last couple days and it takes awesome pictures!

After dinner we went and played putt putt/mini golf. It was fun....I just wish the battery was charged on my camera so I could take a picture....but this will suffice!

The Great Houdini

For those of you that don't know we got a puppy. His name is Ruger 'Houdini' Giblette. The middle name will be explained later. He was 8 weeks on Mothers Day and Clint picked him up the night before Mothers Day! The first few weeks we were asking ourselves WHY did we get a puppy, WHY did we think this would be fun...but now I cannot imagine life without him. Here is a picture of him when we picked him out of the litter at 7wks old!

Here is our little Ruger now....


He has been a great puppy...we just block out the times where he went potty in the house, how he found a way to climb out of his enclosure in the kitchen (we started calling him Houdini for the reason) and would meet us at the door when we got home from work/school after a day of gallivanting around the apartment all by himself, and the chewed blinds as a result of that freedom. He was a surprisingly non-destructive puppy unsupervised in the apartment all day, and for that I am very grateful. We finally figured out his tricks by setting up a hidden camera and when we left he would be out before we even shut the front door! Little did we know that he was never really in his enclosure while we were gone. Now he is crate trained and we are loving it!

He has proved to be a very smart puppy...spoken like a proud mother :) He knows sit, down (which he is demonstrating in the picture above), kennel, and RUGER! He is going to be a very big dog. His legs and ears are still way to big for him and he trips over his HUGE paws. There are many times he face plant the couch or bed because he jumps too soon. He is a lover and always wanting to cuddle when he is not hyper and bouncing off the walls. When he was a puppy he would wake up from his nap and find that there wasn't anyone near him any more and go to the closest warm body, cuddle up, and fall back asleep.

We love him and enjoy the energy he brings into our lives! He is preparing us for kids...which by saying that I know what you must be thinking and we are not pregnant...yet :)
