Puppies, Planes, and SUN!!!

I've gotten a little behind with my blogging, so I must post a warning: I have TONS of pictures to post, so prepare yourselves, there are many pictures to look through.  :)

A few weekends ago we had the opportunity to watch one of our friends' dog while they went away for the weekend.  He is an adorable, two year old, lab mix named Vader.  He is the sweetest most gentle big dog.  Anyway, he and Vega got along wonderfully, and Cody and I had an absolute blast watching him.  We didn't have much planned for the weekend, so we mainly just hung out at home and watched the puppies wrestle and took them on walks around the neighborhood with Hunter.

We got a little nervous when we saw a kitty on our walk, but the dogs just looked longingly at the cat without making much movement towards it.  

After all the wrestling and walking, we had two very tired puppies.
I'm not sure which dog is which!
They even have matching beds.
Snuggling with Cody on the couch.  Spoiled doggies!
Hunter LOVED having the extra pup over, and he enjoyed watching them play and run around the house.   We got a lot of him watching the puppies on video, but this one is by far one of the best.


The only problem with us having watched Vader, is now it is making us puppy hungry!  :)

The next weekend the Blue Angels were in town, and so we decided to go somewhere and watch them fly and do their tricks.  I was worried about the noise, so we didn't want to be directly under them, so we found little beach in Seattle somewhat close by to watch.  They were so cool to see, but we weren't thinking and totally forgot to bring our real camera and only had our phones to snap pictures, and our phones weren't fast enough to capture the planes.  These are the few that we are kind of able to see the planes.




While we were waiting for the show to start, we hung out with some snacks and some wine and entertained Hunter.  




We have been having such wonderful weather here that we have been taking advantage of being able to do "outside" things.  :)  We have been going on long walks, enjoying the pool, having picnics, going on hikes, and hanging out in our yard.  

Our hike at Franklin Falls near Snoqualmie.

Chilling at the pool.

Hunter and Denny, best of friends!

Enjoying our deck in the backyard and playing in the grass in the front yard.




We also had some firsts with Hunter this past month.  He has learned to sit on his own...



so we tried his first swing, he found it very funny.


And he had his first ride in the cart, of course it was at Target.  :)

And he was able to fit into his first Seahawks shirt!  Go Seahawks!

With all the of this running around and all these firsts, it's no surprise when we find our little man fast asleep.

Sweet sleepy little boy.
Finally, we have some super cute photos of Hunter just being cute and playing with Daddy.






Our little boy turned eight months on the 22nd.  He is such a joy and his personality is just so cute.  He is learning new things everyday and it is so amazing to me to watch this little person grow and learn.  It has been a great summer and even tho the weather is changing, we are hoping to continue with our adventures.  :)
