WASHINGTON PARK: WUNDERLUST CIRCUS

after work jason and i grab some food and headed to washington park and the rose garden to see the wunderlust circus. it was apart of a series of free concerts in august.

jimmy johns...mmmmmmmmm.

this was about 45 minutes before the show but it filled up fast.

we left early but these girls were the best in the show. they could've condensed the show to 45 but instead it was a lenghty 2 hours.

5K RUN FOR THE FALLEN TROOPS

continuing mck and my 5k a month, in august we did the 5k run/walk for the fallen soldiers. it was really sad and inspiring at the same time. so many amazing people have been lost. it felt great to be there for such an amazing cause.

ICE SKATING

lic and i did it back in december we had so much fun that my sis and cousin bought groupon thingys to go again. the last date to use the deal came upon us quickly and our schedules weren't allowing us much time to use them. finally we were able to go a friday night. we had fun but i think everyone went home sore.

these shoes suck. this is no support. i enjoyed the roller blades from the 80's look ice skates we used at the winterhawks practice facility.

i just got a slow shutter app on my phone and had to play with it. 

NEW KITTY

a black kitty adopted us and i encouraged it by feeding her. she doesn't have a collar so i don't know if she has a home or gets food somewhere else. she likes to sleep on our bench because we have a cushion on it. she's very sweet but also not shy when she wants food. i just call her kitty. cooper and her have faced off and she swatted at him so now they mostly leave each other alone.

PILATES BY MANDEE & SUSHI

PILATES BY MANDEE ON THE ROOFTOP

my coworker which i adore is certified to teach pilates. she spoke with her landlords (in a building downtown portland) and they agreed to allow her to teach up on the roof. i've been saying for awhile that i would come but i finally made it and took my man with me.

SUSHI AT HOME

my mom took a sushi making class and wanted to teach my sister and i what she learned. we made the sweet eggs which took a lot more time then i would have ever thought. we used shiitake mushrooms, tuna, salmon, cucumber, carrots, crab, and fish eggs.

cooper wanted to join in.

he didn't understand why he couldn't sit at the table too. he was so cute, he didn't try to eat anything off the table he just wanted to be included.

BONUS TIME!

we got together with the gals from work and went out to celebrate our bonus' from work. i thought jason and i were going to be the first to go home (because were getting old and can't hang like we used too) but we were the last to leave. we started out with some dinner at rockbottom brewery (love the mac n cheese, i just can't get enough). then went to barrel room and met mandee there. then over to boiler room to finish off with some karaoke. good times.

KAH-NEE-TAH

when i got back from my two week sin europe jason planned a little get away weekend for us to kah-nee-tah. it was nice to get away for awhile and hang out with my honey who i missed so much. it was gorgeous in kah-nee-tah and pretty dang hot but we had relaxing fun.
