exotic destinations:

off to the sticks! but we'll be back in a bit! :) yay for summer getaways!

lawn games:

ah, summer.. picnics at magnuson park in the breeze, plaid blankets in the grass & all means of competitive lawn sport. it’s 73 degrees in seattle for the foreseeable future. perfect. :) here's how we celebrated kristen's happy graduation..

car show:

saturday started with an early morning meet up & caravan to the greenwood car show! the samoa club turned out a united 22 car front! here are the day’s best snaps! (the random cash register is from here, the seattle breakfast hole in the wall that hit the spot for us hungry fair goers. it's kinda grimy.. yet somehow remains endearing..)

miss june:

this precious little one opened her eyes to greet the family that has long loved her & eagerly awaited her debut, sunday, father's day, 4:46 pm. she had quite the exhausting day. :) god is good, all the time.

pleased to meet you, our little pink niece, miss sophie june.

here are a few other glimpses of that day...

city vows:

i was blessed to witness the poignant marriage vows of my friends sarah & tyler. here are a few snaps from the beautiful day they said their "i do's."

before the cerimony commenced i was lucky enough to tag along after the "real" photographers as they trapsed out & about seattle's pioneer square for the bridal photo shoot.

alas, as a bridesmaid (or is that bride's matron?), i was not able to snap any pics of the actutal cerimony, however, i assure you that there were many sweet tears, happy sighs, and momentus deep breaths. it has been such a blessing to share in the joy and friendship of this dear family. in good fun, i'll wrap this post up with a little chuckle...

...ah, weddings...this says so much doesn't it? ;)
