Improvements

We have been making improvements to the house recently..well, more accurately, we're having them done..this picture is perhaps the most dramatic. This is the back of our house...it was awful..it's been powerwashed..WOW!!!
I've titled this by the weedless shed..now we just need a step!
Last year the patio got finished and this is a privacy fence. I want to put roses, I think, in front of it..it needs some color..We'll paint the trim maroon and then use some kind of weather proofing on the rest.

For years we have barbequed on the balcony off our bedroom. Reg is building a shelter for our BBQ's..yes, that's plural. We just bought an actual BBQ for slow cooking. The shelter will be big enough for both the BBQ and the gas grill.
All that's left is the roof. Reg got the materials today. We should be up and running real soon!!

Father's Day 2008

Today was our annual Father's Day outing at the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field. This was Tillie's first time..I think someone said we've been doing this for 9 years. We have a tailgate party afterwards..it's great fun! Here is Miss Tillie Anne at 21 months. It's hard to believe she's almost 2!!!



The astronaut baby!! ( I guess she's really not a baby anymore..but oh, so cute!)

In order to understand this picture, you need to look back at our Father's Day outing in 2006..Well, Anthony was serving in Iraq then, so we took a picture of a pregnant Emily in front of this airplane.. We sent it to Anthony!

Maverick and Goose!!


Ok..this is the Smart Car..It is the funniest looking car..Talk about feeling vulnerable..I could handle something like this if everyone else on the road was in the same..The van is a future possiblity..


For those of you who know my Armenian heritage, you'd understand the significance of this! :)



At the tailgate party..my cute Tillie..More visiting going on.
