August weekends!


Seafair weekend has a new meaning when you are pregnant and boat-less...too hot to go to the races without a cold beverage and no fun!  For Seafair this weekend...we decided to kick off the weekend with some friends and do a "Crab Boil" ala Crab Pot!

First, we start with a layer of CRAB...

Next, add CORN and SHRIMP...

Finally, add SAUSAGE, POTATO, MUSSELS and a splash of green stuff!

The troops ready to fest...
Adam & Heather, Suzanne & Clay, Amanda & Nikolai (CHEF) and Richie!

We destroyed the fest...leaving no shell unturned or uneaten!

A little picture of the ladies...
Rowan was wide awake for this one and didn't want to miss out on any of the fun!

And, a little Birthday surprise for me from the group...
Strawberry Shortcake! YUMMY!
What a fun night and a MUST do again soon!

Saturday brought on some projects...the nursery being the main one, but also a little table that we have wanted to "restore" for months (or years) now!

Chukar, as a puppy, had his way with the top of this when we left him unsupervised one night
...so the thought was to refinish it

We decided to square it up a little so that we could do a mosaic on top....

after some mounting of the tile...we were ready to grout!

Rich busy grouting away...

 and then for the clean up and final product!
Looks pretty good to me!

Of course, no weekend is complete without a picture of Chukar!
Thanks for the pool GMA and GPA Boness....I'm a happy and cool pup now!

Also, this week...we found out some great news (a huge relief) about Chukar...we had been worried about a health scare for about 5 weeks and finally got results back that he has a sprained shoulder and will only need a little PT and be back to the happy pup he is meant to me!  We knew it wasn't the end of his story yet...Monster and Chukar are destined to cause us many headaches together in the NEAR future!

Baby is coming in 95 days (plus or minus)!
