Happy 11th Stephen!

I can't believe he is 11! Whatever! He starts middle school this year too which is totally, whatever! He had a fun b-day party, we took some of his friends to the Bainbridge Island pool, which is AWESOME, and came home for pizza and cake and of course presents, which included legos, video games, a pocket knife for scouts, and a door alarm. Fun day for Stephen!!!! Oh yeah, he wanted his cake decorated like a DS lite, whatever!

My Niece, Elise. Hey, that rhymes.

Elise got to come stay with me for a few days while her baby sister, Evie, had her heart surgery. We had a lot of fun together, we made pizza, went to the beach, played on the giant waterslide, and other such fun! I just love her, she calls me "Lizzie"!

This is us at the Edmonds beach waiting for our ferry to go to my house in Port Ludlow.

Elise and Sara playing dress up. Those two sure became little buddies!

Elise built a little garden with all the "accessories" at the Salsbury Point beach, near our house.
