On July 3rd, we celebrated Marty's birthday. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the birthday boy for the blog but I do have other photos of the day and celebration. This year he decided he wanted to take our favorite walk through Schmitz Park and down to Alki and to have dinner at Pegasus. He has also been trying to lose a few pounds (and has been quite successful - 16 pounds in 2 months) so being as supportive and creative as possible, Josie and I made him this cake out of a real watermelon and used Greek yogurt with a touch of strawberry jam for the frosting and a bunch of fresh fruit to decorate the top. We had fun decorating the cake together and throwing the nuts at the sides..jpg)
It was the perfect amount of friends, family, fun and food. Tim and Kelley were here (en route to Hood Canal to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary) so they joined us for cake and the walk down to Pegasus and then spent the night here. They are such fun, low maintenance, easy going house guests. It is always fun to have them here. To the left are Kelley, Benjamin, Marty and Josie at the entrance to Schmitz Park on the way down to Alki. 
Marty's former on-air partner and really good family friend, Jodi and her son, Josh met us at Alki and for dinner. Josh is 9 months younger than Benjamin but about the same height and 15 pounds more. He is a big dude and he has a big crush on Josie. She handles it very well and loves to play the "big sister" role for Josh. Someday, this will be a disappointment to Josh as I think he is expecting a bit more but for now being that they are only 6 and almost 2 it works. Here are a few photos of the kids down at Alki. 
Happiest of birthdays to Marty, the perfect father and husband for us three. We love you. Here's to many more.
