Pokemon "Pokeballs"

These were made for Barrett's 7th Birthday party!  He loves Pokemon so I thought the "Pokeball" would be a good idea!  Thanks so much Michele and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Pirate theme cookies and cupcakes

My little guy turned 3 this past weekend.  He wanted a pirate birthday party with his friends so of course, that's what he got.  Here are the favors and cupcakes that I made for the party.  It was so much fun and the children had such a great day!

Mid-Summer Recap

Ben - Has moved out. And I didn't even have to ask him to go. The Army did. They also gave him a sweet bachelor pad (and sometimes a roommate!) in the city. We are about to start our 5th month of his relocation. He spends on average 24 hours a week at home, 80 hours a week in a hospital and the rest in his sweet (read: not great) apartment. Sometimes he gets to stay in luxury hotels elsewhere in the U.S.; Chicago, as documented by my accompaniment on the trip and most recently Rochester, Minn at a little place called the Mayo Clinic where he practiced sewing on vasculature 1/8 of a millimeter thick (Ben made me show him with my fingers how big an inch, then centimeter, then millimeter was, etc. until I was duly impressed). A big thank you to all of those Minnesotan mice for your service.

Professionally, I could not be prouder of him. Every day he becomes and better and better doctor and every day he already starts off as a pretty good one.

Me - I got to keep the house. And all of the maintenance that goes with it. I can almost always be found in the yard, wearing a sweatshirt and boots, wishing I was wearing cutoffs and flip flops.

Avery & Miles - Took a few tennis lessons but otherwise are enjoying everything an unstructured summer should be - except for heat, which we will try very hard to be grateful for.

Cruz - Does whatever everyone else does and generally destroys most things in his path. If it's edible, it's a goner.

Baby Cookies

Two of my neighbors had baby boys within a week of each other.  I made these platters for them to welcome their newest additions.

July 4th Cookies

These are the July 4th cookies I made this year!

Girls and Boys of Hula

In an effort to get in touch with their island heritage the kids started taking hula. It began as Avery's class but Miles' was quickly invited to take part as well. Here is a video of their first performance.

(Miles is up front in green and Avery is to the left in black with a white lava-lava)





Ben is not as thrilled as I am about Miles' "dancing" but I think traditional hula is about as masculine as it gets. In defense of my opinion you can check out the Men of Hula on PBS. Or see below:






You're welcome ladies.

He also taps.

This is what ensued when he found my old tap shoes in a cabinet.

Cape Flattery/Neah Bay

Fourth of July weekend we packed up and headed for the Northwestern most point of the continental U.S. - Cape Flattery. We stayed at Hobuck Beach on the Makah Indian Reservation with our usual partners in camping, the McA's. We saw some great scenery, but first I will bore you with pictures of my children.


This is Miles' sad hiking face. Before we ever take two steps he always let's me know how much he does NOT like to hike. Or walk. Unfortunately for him, we were going to do a lot of both.


This is after I showed him how ridiculous he looked with his sad face. Avery, always ready to spot wildlife.



You know you are on a Washington beach when it's July and you are wearing a fleece jacket.




The kids don't care though.

Sanddollars like Washington beaches too. And now I will bore you with some pictures of those.

Ben cooking up the best chicken quesadillas ever!

Cape Flattery - This is the view we came for.

Lovely, albeit frigid, Washington beach.

Really great smoked salmon.

Ben and Avery getting skunked, fishing from the bridge.

The men doing their, 'must get to highest point' thing.

Cape Alava

I got the better end of the deal and got to hike with the tie-dye twins. We left everyone in the dust...er..moss.

They didn't want to share germs by using the same water bottle. So they used this Skunk Cabbage leaf to share germs from.

On our way home we identified what could potentially be our next camping adventure: Salt Creek Recreation Area. I've never seen so many mussels in my life. And there were deer on the beach.

This is what I imagine Neverland looks like.

Some miscellaneous photography of Cruz, doing what he does best.
