It's Party Time!

The cake is nice, but the best part was Mom finally letting me eat the ice cream I picked out all by myself for my birthday!

The two birthday boys. Cameron's birthday is the day after mine!

Only Aunt Katy was clever enough to get all six of the big kids playing together in one picture. We stole this shamelessly from Elsa's blog.

Three of the four littlest guests. Lauren was not so sure about these two boys checking out her seat, but Cullen and Nathan thought it was a great toy.

These trucks were a hit! We can completely disassemble and reassemble them.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Evan!

Our boy is three years old!

Before you think that Mom and Dad are lax parents for letting me eat cake, I must tell you that Evan shared his cake with me when Mom wasn't paying attention.

I got a ukulele!

8 months old...

...and loving it!

Wild life in the wildlife preserve

Labor Day Fun

After a year away, Daddy is back at Club R!

The water was great for kayaking.

We paddled with seals, watched the terns (birds) dive for fish...

...and watched two adult and baby orcas swim past.

I'm all ready to go crabbing!

Cleaning our catch.

Grandpa caught an extra big crab in this pot. We think it's a keeper!

Beets!

Before... ... and AFTER several cleanings!

We're pretty sure this beats the desert

Hunting for crabs

Success!

The view is great from up here!

He's Home!!!

I'm Going Home

Well I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home, well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems, the closer I get to you
And your love makes it true, but I don't know why
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home, back to the place where I belong.

If her three kids weren't so darn cute, Mom would stop posting all these pictures!

What a great week!
