So busy this last week

What a busy, busy week or so..

We had Matthew for a week

a huge 4th of July bash

family pop by

friends drop in

a 20 person dinner party

a boating get together

and full on master bath re-model

going on

WHEW !!!!

Have I mentioned lately

puppy training still in progress

It's all I can do

to keep up on my favorite blogs

let alone write a post

so here is a bunch of pictures

to catch up a bit..

My good friend Jo and her grands

(what cutie pah tuties)

came down to the Harbor for an evening

Matthew kicking back in Opa's lap

My feeble attempt at Layla's MIL's

Key lime cake

it was way better than it looked

Matthew hanging out

s'mores over a fire....

couldn't taste the difference

The Holiday

weekend had perfect weather

finally

The kids taking Matthew for a stroll

Then that night we had

A great 4th party

with good friends

and family...

did I mention my dil

~Melanie~

is carring my 4th grandchild

Isn't she beautiful..

It was a perfect day

at my Dads

Then Friday night we had another party for friends that came back in town for the summer

~cutie couple~

whom we miss so much

but if you have to go to Florida in the winter

then you have to go...

so we celebrated

big time

their arrival

There were 20 people here

for dinner and well...

~drinks~

whoo hoo

a couple of these and well

let's just say

I forgot where the camera was!

It was so much fun!!!

Then the next morning my

Seattle city slicker bestie called...

they were headed for

Gig Harbor in their boat

Yeah!!!

That's another post coming up...

But this morning the crew is here...

 back to the bath remodel

the door to the toilette room gone

the carpet gone

new pocket door going in to the

~toilette room~

ok do you all agree the

blue toilet has to go?

and the glass block should go too

right?

now that it doesn't cover anything up..

Don't worry I have a solution for hiding

the very

~beautiful~

but necessary

urinal

yes as unsightly as it is I

~LOVE IT~

for all the obvious reasons...

and that puppy....

whom I also love

~most of the time~

gets all of us up several times a night

~ still~

any suggestions?

Even the Spanx is exhausted all day!!

I can't wait to share pictures of our

~boating weekend~

but first I have to take a nap with Spanky

Whoa What a Party!

Did ya'll have as much fun as we did

~last night~

My Dad goes

~all out~

He's got a beautiful home

on

~Dash Point~

it's actually on

 the

 point

The Puget Sound

is

 all around the front of his home

this looks towards Seattle

There he is..

This looks towards Tacoma

 We always get a tent

especially after last year

I always get there early to help

~Dad~

So much food

such great help

We love seeing this guy come

every year

love these girls

Dad has had this party almost every year

that I can remember

This guy

~Dad's accountant~

said this is his 25th year

coming

and it's certainly a

family affair

as well

~My favorite little boys~

My cousin from Oregon almost always drives up

with his beautiful wife

Brother Tony brought the

fireworks

Did anyone else see these

~globes~

they were the coolest..

just floating over the water

like little space ships

look at all of them...

as soon as the sunset  was over

it was crazy

This little boy was rocking out to the music

The amount of money the guy with the water spent on

~fireworks~

would have bought

that new chandelier I want

boys never grow up

do they?

This is certainly a mans holiday..

Food & Fireworks!
