Plain and simple, Kurt and I are slackers at updating our blog in a timely manner.

Back in May, Kurt and I took a trip to Washington D.C. to visit our friends Morgan and Katie Cox. Here are some of the pics from the trip...

Here we are outside the Jefferson Memorial

Korean War Memorial


Vietnam Memorial

Washington Monument

Near Arlington Cemetary is one of the longest escalators in the world. It took us 3 full minutes to ride it to the top. This is Morgan and Kurt as they get ready to run up the escalator, racing to the top.

About a week ago, we welcomed a new member to our little family. Meet Sarge, our new purebred Brindle Boxer dog. He is about 2 years old and the sweetest dog alive! Kurt Suprised Tristan with him to keep her company while Kurt is deployed in Iraq. He has a lot of energy, but is just a teddy bear and loves to cuddle.

Here he is posing for mommy on his bed with some toys.

Here he is cuddling with his stuffed leopard. He sleeps with this little guy every night!

Dinner time?

How can you resist that face?

That's our boy!

Pizza party with Kurt's Family

A few weeks ago we had a pizza party with Kurt's family at Ben and Erin's old apartment. These are some fun pics from the occassion.

Christmas in Washington

Kurt and I went to Washington for Christmas to spend the holiday with my family. While in Washington, we went to a zoo.

Here's Kurt!

Amazingly some of the animals at the zoo were not just sleeping or chilling. The polar bears were wrestling.

Here's Kurt and I when we're both hungry and cranky!

Here we are about to get eaten


This is my family outside the zoo.

While in Washington, we also took some family pics.

We also took a ferry ride while in Washington.

It was much warmer inside of the ferry.

Obviously the name of the vessel.

And here's another family shot on the ferry ride.

It was a great trip!
