Jon's Birthday Week Extravaganza

We started Jon's birthday week with a trip up to Seattle to watch his favorite team, the Braves, play. 

We had such a great time, I even caught a foul ball! 

And by caught I mean it hit me in the arm. OUCH!

We had some yummy food in Seattle and made a Dry Soda run. 

Enjoyed the sights

Friday we had Jon's birthday dinner at my moms house. She made so much good food and had some yummy cake before Jon opened all his amazing gifts 

The next day after getting some painting done we met Martha, Dustin, Pat and Liz down at The Bite and had some good food. We also got some awesome hats (not pictured) at the Foster Farms booth 

Later that night we went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Loved it!

The big day came and we were up bright and early for our trip to Mt. St. Helens. (Free hats pictured)

Jon was so excited for the hike

It was hot but worth the beautiful views

We even survived crossing Devils Ridge!!

Twice!!

We had such a great time hiking 7 miles and 110 "floors" according to our fitbits. 

We didn't stop there though. On our way back we stopped and met Martha and Dustin at the Clark County Fair 

We had quite the busy week and now I am ready for another weekend to rest!!

Pizza and Almond Butter

The Tomblesons LOVE making things from scratch so Sunday we finally made the Almond Butter we had been talking about for a couple months. We had no idea how to make it but it turned out to be pretty easy

It turned out so delicious!! 

The almond butter got us on a making from scratch kick so the next night we decided to make our own pizza

It was SO good! We used an herb crust recipe and it turned out so yummy. 

Hmm what are we going to make next? Will we finally make that jerky we've been talking about since Christmas?

Annabel Goes to Church

Today Annabel went to the Blessing of the Animals at The Grotto. 

She had a great time and loved the songs 

  

She usually doesn't like baths but she didn't mind getting blessed 

For being such a good girl we got her a new hoodie at Old Navy

I love the beach or bark bark bark

We went the beach yesterday for the second time. I had so much fun. I went for a little swim in the ocean. 

At first I was pretty scared but then I got brave when I saw how much fun mommy and daddy were having in it. 

After i swam I rolled around in the sand to dry off and got so dirty

After the beach they ate more of yummy mos chowder while I relaxed. Dogs don't like clams so I didn't go inside 

  

The beAch makes us super sleepy. We turned in early. Ladies have to get their beauty sleep or no other dogs will want to smell us. Woof woof bye bye 

You've seen the dog but do you really KNOW the dog?
