heather + todd

not many
things beat
going to see
one of your
best friends
get married,
but knowing
she married
a true gentlemen
comes close.

couldn't be
happier for you
miss heather.

congratulations!

::a peek at
the day
and the
rockin'est
video ever::

luckiest junior high kids ever

our sweet davey
started his
student teaching
this semester,
so mr. b and i
thought it
only fair
to send him
off in the
proper fashion:

a homemade
banner made with
100% l.o.v.e

a hot breakfast

and a superman
lunchbox filled
with food fit
for a king...
perhaps that's
a tad over the top...
pb&j doesn't
exactly scream
royalty, but we
did include the
usual love note.

what kid wouldn't
love to have you
for a teacher?
we are so proud!

knock 'em dead
mr. pilky

the oregon coast

what could
make a
trip to
washington
to see one of
my dearest
friends get
hitched
even better?

driving down
the oregon
coast after!
(film of
heathie's
wedding
will soon
follow)

that's right
folks, we
had the
pleasure
of driving
down the
lovely
oregon coast
and boy did
we have a jolly
good time.
















we stopped in
portland
astoria
seaside
cannon beach
& tillamook

cannon beach
was our
favorite

why yes,
there were
swings on
the beach
...ahh






















we celebrated
davey's birthday
early, and the
kind people
of cannon beach
do not skimp
on a birthday
treat as
you can plainly
see by the
mountain
of brownie
ice creamy
gooey goodness
before us...
and it's not
just a clever
name...
it was, indeed,
furiously good.























cutest. shops. ever.









































the famous
"no one
around to take
our pic so
attempt to
do it
ourselves"
shot.















the tillamook
cheese
factory
(for our
silly "tour"
video, go
here)















mr. b
enjoying
the salty
sea air.























who knew
tree farms
could be
so cool?
further more,
who knew
there were
tree farms?
not us.





















wish you
were here.

another movie review...

slightly more wordy.

julie & julia

oh! be still
my heart, i
absolutely
loved this
tasty flick!

my lovely
mother in-law,
betsy,
took the girls
to a late night
showing after
our babies
were kissed
and tucked in bed...
even better.

i think i'm
going to just
talk like
julia child
from now on
with that
delightful
shrill tone.

meryl streep
you knocked
my socks off...
i heart you.

bon apetit

catie's un-wordy movie review

500 days of summer

loved it
loved it
loved it

this might
be my
favorite scene
(partially
because of
the classic
'hall and oats'
ditty)

New Music Video

Did you or anyone you know do something really bizarre as a kid that you can't fully explain?



I put peanut butter on my feet
My friend nunked in his own playschool hut
My brother ran away multiple times with his boyscout shirt on
My little brother Danny continued to play with matches while I was chasing him

the ol' pilkington stink eye

watch out
for it...
'cause it'll
stop you
dead in
your tracks.

moab with mi familia

we went to
moab in may
with my
family.

there were:

cute cabins

rock climbing

jeeping

kyaking
down the
colorado river...
(where dave and i
may or may not have
gotten stuck in
a rapid...i panicked...
thought i was going
to die...made dave
say a prayer...
point is, we're fine)








































aside from my
dramatic meltdown
while kyaking
we had ourselves
a splendid time.

and bennett
thought the
swings and
swimming pool
next to our
cabins were
pretty sweet too.

thanks mom and dad!
