6 Years :: Life's a Beach

We celebrated our six year wedding anniversary on Sunday, with a morning at the beach (Jordanelle State Park), followed by a nap (yes, all of us...), and then a picnic dinner at City Park.

Like Father, Like Sun

Ahh... summer

5 Years!

We celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary with a hike in the Uintas with the family:

Beautiful 12 mile hike (Isaac fell asleep in the backpack on the way back, after a short picnic lunch at the lake)

 And, Sunday we had a play date with his daycare best friend, Haven.  We hear all the time about how Isaac "loves Haven" and that she is his "best friend".  It was the first time we got to see them interact, and they are so cute (and a little bit of trouble) together.

2nd Year Anniversary

July 21, 2009 was our 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary, and we had a great celebration!

What did we do to celebrate, you ask?

Christina enjoyed lunch at Anthony's on Pier 66 with family:

And in the evening, we went to see the Seattle Sounders play the Houston Dynamo in Tukwilla as part of the US Cup play-offs.... they won 2-1 in overtime, and it was one of the most exciting Sounders games so far!!! It was scorching hot, but a blast! (Seattle Times Article)

Here we are:

We've been greatly enjoying the sunny summer we are having here in Seattle, and feel so fortunate to have such great family & friends nearby!!

Here is a cute one of us from last weekend at a bbq/party.

And, to top off the anniversary celebrations, we are headed to Sonoma County in a week or so to enjoy a couple nights away in Santa Rosa, CA (after a short stop in Santa Clara to see the Sounders play San Jose!). I predict views like this in our near future!

One-Year Anniversary

We took a break from work and spiffied ourselves up for our one-year anniversary. We went to dinner Monday night at How to Cook A Wolf, a posh scene-ster restaurant on Queen Anne. It mostly lived up to all of its hype. Then we visited Uber (our favorite tavern/beer haven hands down)-- it was a perfect anniversary!


Here we are at dinner (looking lovingly into each other's eyes - barf) ...























And here are a couple of goofy ones of us at Uber, and a stalker shot of our favorite bar-tender who we heart. (and don't all of those beer signs behind her look tasty! mmm... franziskaner...)










We enjoyed greatly the Black Butte XX on tap (an imperial porter/black ale version to their standard Black Butte Porter- yum!) among other tasty choices such as the Mad River Steelhead Double IPA, the Flying Dog Gonza Imperial Porter and a staple, the Duchesse de Bourgonge.

Eric was sad to leave....Cheers to a GREAT first year of marriage.... luv u babes
