busy weekend wrap-up

Well, it was another busy weekend in the Quinby household! On Saturday, I spent the majority of the time doing a deep clean of the house. I won't go into the boring details, but I'll just say the house looks MUCH better. :)

Jer spent the morning with his dad, running errands for their house building project. We were also able to watch the Ducks dominate on the football field!!

Saturday night was date night and we went to Famous Dave's BBQ which was A-mazing! If you haven't been and there's one in your area, you must try it!

On Sunday, Jer and I had a busy day spent together. It started with Jer stopping by his parents' house to check on the men roofing the house. It's looking good!


Then, we headed out to Beaverton to check out a job that Quinby Construction poured earlier in the week. Here are some pictures of the driveway and walkway to the front door.

Then, we spent the remainder of the afternoon painting our deck railing white. We still have quite a bit to go, but we ran out of paint and time.
Lastly, we went to dinner at my parents' house. The food and company was fantastic and on the way home, we dropped off the new truck at the dealer because we are having the running boards installed today. Updates to follow...

another reason I love our house

Deer are frequent visitors in our backyard. When I opened the shades in our master bath this morning, I saw four deer happily eating grass out back.

These photos aren't the best, but this one is of a momma and two babies. They were taken a month ago from our bathroom window, so they're not real clear. I just love seeing them in the morning!

The Whirlwind Month

Well, as it turns out, September has been quite the whirlwind! We'll see if I can do a quick re-cap on this crazy month. (I can't believe it was August the last time I blogged!)

So, the month started off with my family taking my little sister to college. She is attending PLU (Go Lutes!) and we're all very happy that she chose WA over Cali. It was so awesome to be back on campus. I have so many happy memories from that place and I'm so excited for Kenzie to experience all that that place has to offer!

Next, school started! Yipppeee!!! I was very ready to get back to work...as was my pocketbook! So far, I have been keeping really busy. This week for example, I work Tuesday through Friday. The kids have been great so far and I am being reminded that I have chosen the best profession. :)

With school starting, football season has also started. Jer and I have gone to the home games to support my dad who is a coach and we'll most likely head to some away games once league starts. I'm also looking forward to hitting up some middle school games to support my students.

Jeremy is keeping busy with work and his business and firefighting. His business has really been picking up. We have both Ben, our brother-in-law, and Eric, a good friend, working with us. They are such a help since Jer has to spend his days at work. (Trust me, he'd rather be out there working for himself, but we need the steady income.)

Lastly, I want to brag a little about my wonderful husband. Last week I was working at the middle school. I walked in to the lunch room and there was a beautiful vase of flowers with my name on it. Jer was so sweet and sent me flowers with the nicest note about wanting to make my day a little better. Gosh, do I know how to pick 'em or what?! Love him!!!
