Bella & Zoe

K, so much for catching up with vaca & the like. Today Bella got to play with her friend Zoe. They are so cute! Check it out.

This is Bella realizing that something in the bushes is moving...

It's Zoe the Tabby Cat!! yay!

Bella asks Zoe in dog language if she wants to play.

Zoe says, "No Way Jose"!!

Bella says, "I won't leave you alone until you play with me"

"BACK OFF Mutt-I will claw you!"

Bella finally resigns to just lay down near her :)

Friends at last.

This is the closest I could get Phoenix to the outside world

& then as soon as I turned my back this is where he ran to! He's such a wuss! (But he's my wuss & I love him)

Forks!

I am so sorry I've been MIA! Life tends to get in the way of my blogging :)
Anyway, so my goooaaalll is to post daily until I catch up. I have to finish vacation first....which leads us to Forks!!

Forks is so cool! Not really cool cuz it's a little teeny town without much going on but, I mean, it's Forks! We took a day trip down there from Seattle & had a TON of fun!

Here's some pics:

Space Needle/Seattle

Whoa-Seattle is AWESOME!! I love this city! We've had so much fun here. So much fun, in fact, that we took a 3-hour nap today...whoops!

Here's a re -cap.

Post-graduation, we went to the space needle for dinner & a totally awesome view.

Can you see Mt. Rainer in the background? It's so pretty!

Today, we went down to the Seattle Public Market where we bought raspberries, smoothies, and souviners. Too cool!

Thereafter occurred the aforementioned prolonged nap :)

For dinner, we ate at the Irish Pub where I got my first ever steamed clams. yummy- I ate them all. Then we went and watched "500 Days of Summer". Not bad.

let's try that again with our eyes open :)

Lastly, we took a dip in the hot tub-WONDERFUL!

Tommorrow, it's onward to FORKS!! I'm so excited!! :)

My Soldier!

My honey is now an official soldier! I am so proud of him!!

What a cutie!

Albuquerque, NM

Albuquerque has been really fun! Today is my last day here so I thought I would try to catch everyone up :) Here is a picture of my partial family :) It looks so small! More people are coming today & even more tonight after my sister & I have left...sniffle.

First night at my aunt's was my dad's 66th birthday! So we had cake for him & we all sang him happy birthday to Buzz.

We all thought that dad looked so thin holding his cake that mom wanted to try too :)

Next day was the pool day! It was SO AWESOME! I want a pool so bad now. We also went to Old Town & saw my cousin's $600,000 green home. It's completely solar-powered...really cool. Sorry I didn't take any pics!

And by the way, the cutest dog EVER belongs to my aunt. His name is Petey :)
