Perfect Last Sunday in August!

It's true...August has almost come to an end...but that didn't stop Rich and I from "making things happen"!!!!

For Labor Day weekend...we are planning to head over to Little Naches for Sunday and Monday...and that means shotguns, grouse and me in a "hunter's vest".....

Although I WILL NOT be hunting...I must wear one for safety!

My lovely husband picked me up a present from the outdoor store...I was so excited!!!!
SEE...pure joy!
Next up...Sunday was a day to load up all the C&B gifts from the wedding and transport them from my parents house to our home.

Shockingly enough....not one thing was broken!

Here is the CR-V loaded to the brim...
....oh, BIG STRONG MAN!
The front room...
...and the piles that came after! We headed to C&B and finished up our registry...and now we have complete set of dinnerware, silverware and more!

YEAH!
After C&B, we realized that my car had sap all over it....
...we got some special spray and washed it 2 times....there is still work to be done, but it looks SO much better.
Finally, we ended our night with a little before dinner fishing...
Rich had all the luck...
FISH ON!
FISH ON!
FISH ON...AGAIN!
Fish ON...do you see the pattern.

He got 5 Large Mouth and 1 Blue Gill...I had 2 bites!
It was a GREAT SUNDAY! Pretty soon...Sundays will equal FOOTBALL!

Fall is in the air....but it was a GREAT SUMMER!

New Year...New Bride!

Today, my Mom, Sister and I headed out for Bridal Gown shopping for My Sister's July 10, 2009 WEDDING! Yes...another wedding is ahead in the Boness family. (I have almost completely switched over to Meyer...but still a Boness at heart)!!!

Here are my Mom and Sister at Coffee before the adventurous day began!
Our second stop was The Princess Bride in Bothell...amazing dresses!

We hit a few more stops...but I can't show the pictures...don't want to give away the REAL dress. So much fun! Can't wait for another year of fun!

To the woods we went...

for a camping adventure for Kelby's 28th birthday!

We packed the CR-V to the brim and headed out after work on Friday...all the important items were there...snacks and trashy magazines, fishing poles and sleeping bags! We were ready for a GREAT weekend...but had no idea how much fun was in store for all of us!The birthday girl was ready to go when we got there (Adam...thanks for the contribution to camping)!

There were so many bees that the boys decided we needed to make some traps.

Just had to give Rich's shoe selection a shout out...he said he didn't need flip flops...I totally disagree!
Kelby...just hanging out.
Success! The first BEE!!!

A weekend home...

Seems like Rich and I have been on the run for the last several months...so it was nice to have a weekend at home.

On Friday morning...Rich's mom headed West and we surprised Rich at lunch at Ooba's! Our favorite little spot in Woodinville.
After a day of fun...we went to dinner and the movies...such a relaxing and fun Friday night!

On Saturday morning, it was time for me to make good on my wedding gift to Rich and take him to Kesselring's to pick out his very own Shotgun!

My happy husband!
After hours of agonizing over the right one...he got a Beretta 20-gauge o/u 28-inch barrel with a gloss finish.

It's a beauty!
We decided to continue to enjoy our day up North and went to lunch in La Conner!

I couldn't pass up riding the elephant...but it was so rough that I couldn't stop laughing!
Rich and his mom on the fish bridge...a super cool bridge that is shaped like a fish!
We enjoyed to town, some fish and chips and even this HUGE log!
Once home...my husband had to show off his new Shotgun!
Look at that form!
Just chillin'!
We then decided that we needed a picture of the wedding gifts...looks like we not only got spoiled in love...but with gifts too!
We are so lucky!
