The summer comes and goes so fast. This year our family has been compiling a summer bucket list of local events and activities to keep us busy all summer long. From Movies and concerts in the park to local parks and swimming spots. We have quite a list of adventures and we hope you can use these ideas to keep your family busy this summer too! 6 to sunset:  Evening Concerts in the park. noon rhythms  Summertime concerts in the park at noon on Wednesdays at Estershort park in downtown Vancouver. Movies in the park:  A different park and a different movie every Friday night! $1 movies  Say what?!?! We love going to movies but they can get pretty spendy! As often as we like to go it's nice to save a few bucks at the theater. Treat your kids and maybe a few of their friends to $1 movies at participating Regal Cinemas on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings throughout the summer. They play previously released family-friendly movies but it's still just as much fun; watching the

How long have you been together? 14 years Tell me the story of how you met: I was 17, a junior in high school. My best friend wanted “hook me up” with a guy her senior boyfriend worked with...when we met he brought a friend and instead I fell instantly, madly in love with him as he bit a beer cap off a glass bottle in the parking lot of the Salmon Creek Taco Bell. They had just came from a Blazer game, my parents were out with their friends so we hung out at my house until 4-5am! I told my best friend that night/morning after they’d left that I was gonna marry that guy (Dallas)...not the guy I was supposed to “hook up” with!! Hahahaaa! ....and MAN....I wouldn’t have it any other way! What do you love most about your partner? His pretty bright blue eyes and his smile when he genuinely laughs! His snuggles put me to sleep at night and he’s the BEST father to our 3 crazy creatures we created together! Do you have kids? if so how many? 3 Do you celebrate your anniversary?

Ivory, Blue, Burgundy, Champagne - Gold accents This wedding was special to me because I went to middle school with the bride! Seriously, it was such an honor that she even considered me to be her photographer. S and B got married on a rainy spring day in Portland, Oregon at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom. It was a lovely day to celebrate with family and friends. It rained that day and we had a lucky break with just enough time to do a few romantics and bridal party shots outside. Here are some of my favorites from the Grant Wedding in Downtown Portland OR. Just for fun silly faces:

Wedding/Anniversary Date: November 22, 2019 How long have you been together? Married 10 years together 13 Tell me the story of how you met: My husband and I met when I was 15 and became friends with some of his friends. We both dated other people and never had an attraction for each other until we were older we ran into each other at a get-together. To be honest, the first time he asked me for my phone number I told him, "no." A year and half later or so we ran into each other at another get-together and finally went on our first hang out together a couple weeks later. We have been inseparable since. Never would have thought that the guy I didn't give my number to would be my partner for life and dad of my 3 kids. What do you love most about your partner? He makes me laugh. Even at his corny dad jokes. Do you have kids? if so how many? 3 kids Do you celebrate your anniversary? yes How do you get through the tough times together? We get mad, we figh
