Summer is finally here...

...and while Rich and I head to sweat our butts off at Cross-Fit tonight...Chukar is at Grandma and Grandpa's house swimming! I've heard that video will be out soon!
SPOILED LITTLE PUPPY!!!!

To Cross-fit or not...

that is the real question...or maybe it is..."Will we survive"?!?!?

I've been trying to figure out a way to get motivated again to work out...post triathlon of 2009 and pre-REAL summer weather of 2010. I'm even toying with the idea of the Danskin in August, but first I must commit to working out again (and eliminating TDM from my lunch ritual)...this is where CrossFit comes in. A friend told Rich and I about this last weekend and I actually think I might have Rich on board....giddy up!

We will shoot to try tomorrow or Thursday, just waiting to hear back from the trainers. Hold on...this is going to be a bumpy ride!

On a side note...my mom is off visiting her new baby today...

Meet Maggie Mae, born May 17, 2010!

Stay tuned for the adventures of Rich and Stacie...and Chukar and Maggie!

The last weekend of Spring...

and it held more rain than rainbows...but I'm glad that Summer is upon us and we are ready for the adventures to come.

• Trip to California
• Camping
• 1st Anniversary
• The 4th with Friends
• and more SUNSHINE!

This weekend was full of friends, fun, rain and little scare...but we all made it through and kept on trucking.

Friday night we got to spend an awesome night with Amy and Eric and enjoy some wine and a delicious dinner. So nice to have a "couples" date night and have some REAL conversations about life, marriage, babies and more. We always cherish our special time with the Curtiss family.

Saturday morning started with a little scare and a trip to the ER with my Mom and Dad. She is feeling better now, but we were all very scared for her. Please keep her in your prayers!

We continued on and enjoyed our lazy rainy weekend and then headed to Bellevue Saturday night to meet up with Jenn and Alex to surprise him for his birthday. Again, another awesome night with friends and a funny movie! (If you haven't seen "Get Him to the Greek"...stop reading this now and go...FURRY WALLS)!

Sunday ...oh Sunday. Rich, Chukar and I participated in the very WET Furry 5K...but we all made it and had a blast. Our little man was exhausted...so we let him nap and went up to meet my parents for Lunch.

We pretty much chilled the remainder of the weekend and finally had a chance for a little downtime on Sunday night. Seems like the weeks keep getting busier, but we are excited to see what SUMMER holds!

Crusing with Grandma...

Friday has officially turned into Grandma's day with Chukar
...and he even gets to stay the night!

FREEDOM for Rich and I!

Dog days of Spring...

The "Dog" days of Spring are finally upon us...just as summer is knocking on the door! We spent a weekend hanging out with Chuk, each other and just enjoying our home and the sunny springtime weather...it was great!

Yesterday was Marymoor and fun...today was Magnuson and the Montlake Cut. Yesterday we had a dog that didn't want to swim...today we have a dog that jumps in and could swim all day.









We enjoyed such a fun weekend...from drinks and dinner on Capital Hill on Friday night...to enjoying time around home Saturday and Sunday. It was fun to get to just hang out with our little family that we love so much!
SUMMER....here we come!
