some dear friends & some deer friends

we've been busy this weekend hanging out with some old bff's.  ryan & christie came to spend a few days with us & it's been a blasty blast.  we headed down to portland to do some tax free shopping & ryan made a purchase to add to his current apple collection.

he bought an ipad.  as if his macbook, apple tv, & iphone weren't enough.  he also bought a pair of toms.  can you say walking cliche?

christie & p-ray got to spend some quality time together & we made sure parker was on his best behavior so that ryan would not be opposed to bringing a little friend for him into this world asap.  parker cooperated & was a total angel all weekend.  good work parker.

we were also graced this weekend by the presence of some other deer friends.  this doe & her twins hang out in our backyard from time to time & have done so ever since they were itsy bitsy babies with cute little white spots.  i guess that's one perk of living in the middle of nowhere.

& in other topics, we've been watching a lot of this show lately:

every time we start watching this show over {we've seen it from pilot to finale multiple times} i am reminded how freaking hilarious it is.  if you have a sense of humor, check it out.  if you hate it, don't blame me... but you just might want to rethink whether or not you actually have the sense of humor you thought you did.

& in conclusion, i'd like to thank lauren from three crazy munchkins for our very first blog award.  she likes our blog & we like her.  thank you lauren!

& now i must go.  sam is in the kitchen making brownies.  no, for reals.  & ryan & christie are wrestling on their air mattress here in the office so i'm gonna get out of here.  i suggest you do the same... just make sure you vote on your way out ;)
