Cats for the Win!!

Yippee!!! We win! It was a great game and so fun to watch. The nice, warm bar and a mimosa might have had something to do with it :) The bar was super packed this year.

Dave -{ on the right,  duh!} is a griz fan and I made him be a Cat fan for the day :D

Nate wore his blue shirt so we didn't match...again. I just love my gold shirt! 

{maybe it wasn't too warm in there, my sweatshirt didn't come off}

As you can see, Nate and I are the only ones who care about photos. :)

3 MSU grads working for Clark Nuber plus me!

Sad day for the Knutsons

Today is the day the Knutsons did not want to think about. Bunker went to doggie heaven today :( 


Here are some thoughts from the boys missing their childhood dog.


Jake:
A DOG doesn't care if you're fat or thin, rich or poor, smart or dumb, male or female, old or young... they lack the ability to judge which is why they are man's best friend

BUNKER - Thanks for being part of our family and sharing your life with us. We'll never forget you're crazy quarks, crunching chips, horrible swimming, consistent scratching, consideration w/others, and joyful self. WE'LL MISS YA BOY!!

Nate:

Bunker - second best brother I ever had, always up for boating, walking, playing, and showing us how to have a good time. You'll be missed big boy!!!

Jeter and Bunker

Singing with the piano :)

Bridger, Jeter, Bunker

We will miss you Bunker!! 

To the Zoo we go!

Nate and I haven't had a lot of quality time lately since he has been studying and working for the Oct. 15th deadline. { I had no idea there was such a thing until this year} Last Sunday he decided to plan a surprise day for me! We went out to a local small breakfast place in Ballard. Then, I thought we were going to go shopping for vehicles but we ended up at the zoo!!

I have been asking Nate to take me there forever! {His work has passes :) } I was so excited! I was like a little kid again! I love watching the chimps and gorillas. I could sit and watch them all day long!

We got to the zoo right when it opened. Good to avoid the crowds, but bad because some animals were still sleeping.

Feeding time for the hippos

The next photos are a series from the lion's den!! 

The male came out of the den and scared the female away while she was eating.

Then he smelled us!

My heart was beating so fast! His breath fogged the window. Scary, but so cute!

Old wrinkly butt

Showing us his food

Why would we want a photo of a grizzly?

Poor Grizzles :D

The rest are photos of our favorite animals to watch. 

The baby gorilla was putting a show on the entire time!

The old man. Only showed us his back side

the baby put a sack on his head and was swinging around

Then our journey came to an end at the zoo. Nate had to drag me away from the gorillas, but I was VERY thankful he surprised me with a trip to the zoo! Husbands are great! :D

Topsy Turvy

Nate and I were really liking tomatoes so I thought I would grow my own this summer. Little did I know, they take FOREVER to grow out here! Started in April. Picked in October

What do you think of these beauties?

They barely turned red. I picked these when the plant was already dead. My dad said they would turn red by the window from the sun. I don't think they will be turning red with the lack of sun we have. 

Also, I am afraid to eat them. There were a lot of spiders living around the plant.  

Maybe better luck next year? Nah, I think the grocery store is still going to get my business. :)

Best Breakfast Ever!

Look at what this good wife made for her husband!

Homemade hash browns and lean turkey sausages. yumm..

I had to capture his happiness. Unfortunately, he wasn't at the time I snapped the photo. 

Love you Nate! :)

Bridger Graduated...Again!

Bridger has not been a very good little puppy. I thought he needed some more training, positive training this time. Surprising, it worked! He listens to commands better and is a little bit calmer.

Old Man

His yummy treat from the dog trainer

I am mean, but look how disciplined he is!

Half a second later Jeter snatched the treat!!! Sneaky old man!

 He was tired of waiting.

 I retrieved it and gave it to Bridger :)
