Man, the summer is flying by so quickly! We love to take advantage of the good weather while it's here, so evenings and weekends are packed!
Last weekend Trav and I had 4 BBQ's! We started out Friday at lunch BBQing hot dogs. Yum. That evening we went to Linds and Brians to BBQ with them.
Saturday we woke up early, got all our chores done, and then we went for a bike ride on a little trail by the river in Albany. It was a great ride, and a beautiful trail that I didn't even know existed! We brought our little floaties with us and at the end of our ride we pumped them up and floated in the river for a while. It was a hot day so the water felt really good!
We got home at about 6, cleaned up, and headed to a BBQ at Mon and JD's. We had a good night with them! JD made some really good burgers!
Sunday Trav and I worked in the yard. It was REALLY hot on Sunday, and we both ended up getting burned. Trav got a worse burn than I did. We got a lot of yard work done though! Our yard is looking so much better. That evening we had my parents and brother over for a BBQ. It was my parents 30th wedding anniversary on the 15th, so we wanted to celebrate with them! 30 years is a huge accomplishment! Congratulations Mom and Dad!
Last night we went to the Linn County Fair. We got off work early and biked there. It was a fun ride. We had a lot of fun looking at all the animals! I love the bunnies and they had a baby tiger that was SO cute. At 8:30 Craig Morgan had a concert there. It was a great night. On the way home we stopped at McDonalds for an ice cream cone!
This weekend we're not sure what we're doing. :) It's pretty much the only weekend for the next month and 1/2 that we don't have plans! We might go to the coast for a day, or we might just work around the house and go shopping. Trav got a raise and it was effective on this check. I told him off the first check he could take the extra from his raise to go buy some new clothes. Congrat's to Trav! I'm so proud of you!
Well, 30 min's left until the weekend starts. Have a great one!

4th of July
It's hard to believe that the 4th of July, and our long anticipated 3 day weekend, are over. We had a great time though. We ended up having a BBQ at our place, because we had a lot of friends we wanted to spend the 4th with!
We started on the 3rd! After work we BBQ's some hotdogs before meeting Robbie and Becky at River Rhythms with a couple bottles of wine! We had fun catching up with them.
The 4th we slept in, and at 10 got up and went grocery shopping for all our BBQ goodies. We got chips, pretzels, hamburger, hot dogs, lettuce, tomato, baked beans, jello for the dessert, corn on the cob, veggies for a veggie platter, watermelon, strawberries, and grapes for a fruit platter, and Rachelle brought potato salad!
And of course we got wine and beer! When we got back, Trav mowed the lawn while I cleaned up and started preparing the food. We were ready by 2, which is when we told people they could start showing up. Ladd arrived at about 2:45, my brother showed up at 3ish, and EVERYONE else got there between 5 - 6! We spent the afternoon throwing the football, sitting on the porch swing, and playing the Wii. At 6 we fired up the grill and ate! We had a great time. At 9 we left for the Timber Carnival to see the fireworks. When we got back we headed to the park to light off some illegal works that Ryan had brought, and some legal ones that Ladd brought. They were all awesome. We got back to the house and played the Wii until a little after 2 when we finally went to bed!
Saturday we slept in. We wanted to go rafting but the sun never really broke through the nasty clouds, so we ended up watching old movies on the couch. It was a good day. Late that evening Trav and I went night blading. We used to do that a lot when we were 16 - 17 and it reminded me of back then.
Sunday we did our chores and my parents called and invited us up for a BBQ and to play some games outside. The sun came back so we got to enjoy the weather out on the deck.
Now it's back to the work week.....I'm anxiously waiting for Friday!
By the way our camping trip was wonderful! We had a really great time with Ladd. The camping spot we got was great, but we still like our secret spot at Yukwa the best! We took a hike on Saturday and it was pretty hot so we took a quick dip in the Metolious River! Burrr! That river is 40 degrees. It was refreshing though! I can't wait to go camping again!
