Shani and the girls

     Shani and her girls came over to visit last week.  It is always fun to spend time with the girls especially now that there is two!  Here are some snap shots we took while they were over.

Vegas!

     Here are a few highlights from Vegas.  We went at the end of September this year for Kevan and Krista's wedding.  For those of you who don't know Kevan or Krista then have dated for 10 1/2 years so needless to say the wedding was a very happy occasion. Cameron and I met Kevan at work over 8 years ago and have been friends ever since.  The weather while we were there was 100 degrees and caused us to stay indoors to stay cool.  It was a very interesting city with lots of things to go.  Vegas never really ever closes or sleeps.  We would probably go back, but when it was cooler which would make it easier to do more of the tourist stuff.  The last picture is all the Ritz Camera people that attended the wedding spanning from Washington, Oregon and Chicago.

Our 1 year anniversary

A few pictures of us on our 1 year anniversary (August 22nd).  We went to downtown Seattle before we had dinner at Barking Frog.  Saw the gum wall by the market for the first time and we went to Game Works.  It was a nice relaxing day enjoying each others company.

It has been awhile

     Man was it really back in April that I made the last post?  Well the summer came and went with plenty of activities to keep both Cameron and I busy.  Lets see if I can get everyone up to speed and share some pictures a long the way.

     Here are some highlights of our 2010 summer.  The first picture is of all of us at Katie's boyfriend baseball game for Katie's 25th birthday.  I went to my first book reading all by myself.  Got my book signed by one of my favorite authors.  Cameron and I went on our first camping trip at Manchester State Park and it rained the whole time we were there, but we still a lot of fun with the whole Tondre/Smith clan.  Our friends Missy and Troy took us to an M's game and even though they lost it was a blast with those two.  We had game nights with Shani and Jeff when they lived down the street from us over the summer.  They just recently had their second daughter on September 24th and bought a house in Arlington.  We will greatly miss having them so close.  The picture of my family is at my moms birthday dinner in August.  We also shot Brian and Shannon's wedding this summer.  So happy for them both!  Cameron and I went to the Evergreen fair with his parents, sister Shalisa and her husband Ryan and their two girls.  We went down to Shelton where Ryan and Shalisa live and spent the night.  We learned quite a few new board games, played with the girls and went out on their boat.  Always a good time!

     All in all I would say we had a great summer!  Now comes Christmas...
