I'm moving out of my house and I'm sharing a room with Berkeley! Just kidding, but I am in love with her nursery. Isn't it so sweet? Everytime I'm over I have to go sit in this room, I just love it!

Here she is, my most favorite little neice! She is getting so big. On August 2nd she'll be nine months old. She is crawling and got her first tooth just this last week. She has the cutest little laugh and the most beautiful blue eyes. We all love this little girl!

We had our fourth annual crab feast at the Potts house this weekend. This is a tradition that we started when we got married and look forward to it every year. The bucket in the middle of the table is full of crab and believe or not, we stuff ourselves until we can't eat anymore.
Lisa is the cleanest eater and it usually takes her twice as long to get the crab out of the shell. Tom and Chris end up cracking the crab legs while she eats because they get so tired of watching her try not to make a mess!
The perfect ending to a fabulous dinner, a triple layer chocolate cake with fresh raspberries. YUMMY!

Now these are true coffee lovers! Who says you can't go through a drive-thru espresso stand on horseback?

I swear Chris was born with fins! Everytime we stopped the boat he was in the water. We had to bribe him with something to get him out. He absolutley loves the water.

We went camping this weekend, well we actually only made it through one night. Our campsite wasn't the best and the mosquitos were terrible. There was a lake to swim in but the bugs were even worse there so we came home early. Chris and I just bought a new tent, new sleeping bags, flashlights, and a bunch of other camping accessories so I was kind of dissapointed we didn't get much use out of them. Hopefully we'll get one more camping trip in before the end of summer. We still enjoyed the hot weather out on Lake Tapps this weekend.

We had our first of many salon BBQ's Sunday afternoon. One of the girls has property on Lake Tapps and it was a beautiful spot. The weather was perfect, we ate a whole lot of food, and just enjoyed being together outside of work. We always have a great time when we get together, these are some special people.

I knew it wouldn't be too long before someone got thrown in! Luckily she had her bathing suit on.

Eryn and I. I know my sunglasses look stupid there, but I took them off and totally forgot about them. I don't know why but sunglasses hanging off the front of my shirt is one of my biggest pet peeves!

Holly and Jared, he's an amazing chef. Almost everyday he makes some kind of treat for her to bring into work and share with us. We love him!

A few of us at sunset at the lake. It was a perfect day!

Tom and Lisa hosted a 4th of July party this year. They live up on a ridge and we could see every firework display from Maple Valley to Tacoma. It was absolutly beautiful. The weather was perfect, the food was great and the company was even better! It was good to see some very special friends and spend the holiday with people you love. Thanks for a great night!

The month of June just flew by! We have been enjoying all of this sunshine and spend as much time possible outside. Some of our favorite restaurants are down on the waterfront and when it's90 degrees, you can actually sit out on the patio without freezing. Chris and I have been out on the motorcycle every weekend, going to cheer on the Mariners, eating a ton of BBQ, and the biggest highlight of June was the Cirque du Soleil show. They came to Redmond to perform 'Varekai'. Every time I watch them I am amazed by their talent and beauty. If you ever get a chance to see them I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are enjoying your summer!
