Lauren - 20 Already!

I know it is a bit late... however, it doesn't make it any less beautiful.

I love you sweetheart!

Happy Birthday Emma...

The photo says 8... however, Lori just informed me that she is only seven. Ooops!

Bowling for Stuffed Animals

We spent the evening bowling with 8 Jr High boys... After they were done, Grayson put a few tokens in the stuffed animal machine and won an animal almost every time he tried. It was a bit crazy at the bowling alley but nothing like it was when we got home!!!

Oh to have this much energy again.

A little birthday belly dancing...

This past weekend we went to dinner to celebrate Grayson's transition into his teens... He is now a big 13 year old!

We went to Marrakesh in downtown Portland. As part of the nights festivities he and his friend, who will remain unnamed for his protection :) got to experience a new kind of food, eating with their hands, and of course... a belly dancer.

It was lots of fun...

Happy Birthday Grayson!

Today is my niece's 6th birthday so she stopped by for a little bit. She thought it would be funny to give the cat a noogie!

Happy Birthday Rachel!
