happy weekend everyone!

its mine and stu's three year anniversary on wednesday. i gave stu a barbeque early because the weather was so nice and yesterday, stu gave me my present early. haha. i know, we are both pretty bad about waiting but we've decided that we can go out to dinner or something on wednesday to celebrate. anyway, my present was a new camera! ive been wanting one for a really long time because i always have to borrow stu's whenever i want to take pictures. i guess that stu must have been listening when i was checking a few out because it is perfect! its super nice and stu was waaaaay too generous! ive been taking pictures like crazy.

today was kenton's heroscape tournament. we usually go over to katrina and kenton's house on the weekend to hang out and play games. we've played heroscape once or twice so stu entered in the tournament and i "helped" out (but really just visited with katrina and went out to get pizzas).  it was actually really fun and it was cool to see so many different ages there, all playing together.  there were a few younger kids (like grade school) and they played against the older people and still sometimes won!

this is stu and kenton's map when they played against each other.  i wanted an action shot ;-)

kenton playing a friend.  they both look so serious!

as i said, ive been going picture crazy.  here are a few pictures i took today around the house.  it was beautiful when i woke up so i took a picture of the view from our porch and then a picture of the side street where i parked barry.

when we got back from the tournament, our friend chester came out of his home.  he lives in our porch column, we think, with his family.  i got a pretty good picture of him and a friend coming out.  we made eye contact and i dont think that they liked it :-)

we were going to have a big get together at our place tonight but everyone was pretty busy or just couldnt make it so the plan is to barbeque with noah and matt and maybe watch a movie.  im excited.  a relaxing night.  tomorrow we have the swell season concert so ill have to take some pictures of that and put them up!
