4th of July

4th of July with the Blinns!

Indian Henry, OR Camping

It was drizzly and periodically chilly - but these diehard campers made it fun!

A hike around the campground

mmmm...first s'mores of the season

Crazy trip to the restroom in the dark. Even camping (especially camping) a girl needs friends to go to the restroom with!

We were even able to celebrate Anwyn's birthday, camping style!!

Showcase 2010 - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

This was Norah's 3rd showcase with Danceworks, so she was all ready to go come showtime! Her little class was so cute and I was once again very proud of her.
Grandma and Grandpa

Aunt Dannelle and Josie

Even Great-Grandpa came! (Thanks to Aunt Eileen for bringing him!)

Aunt Lynne - great pals :-)

Norah's Public Service

Norah and I attending a public hearing about the development of a green space near our home. Norah spoke very eloquently about why she would like to see responsible development of the space. Yay!

Preschool Graduation

With much pomp and circumstance (well, of a preschool variety) Norah graduated from preschool today. She has spent the last two years at Columbia River Preschool and will miss all her friends there!

The Smurfs

Norah and Emerson's first viewing of the Smurfs!!

Lewisville Park

Grammie always has fun park toys in her trunk!

Poor Emerson, ran into a BBQ - here he shows us where the injury occured.

Emerson is show and tell

Norah brought Emerosn to show and tell today...Emerson thought he was going to be able to stay and they both tried to get me to leave them at school together.

Norah's ears are pierced!

Norah has been begging for a long time to get her ears pierced. We finally let her! She was nervous but excited - and after the piercing her eyes welled up until they put a mirror in front of her, then all was well.

Columbia River Walk with Grammie

Grammie loves to walk along the riverfront and enjoy a mocha, so we spent the morning with her there, before she left for Utah.

Lilac Gardens

Summer begins

Our first popsicle of the summer!
Norah signed up for her 3rd year of ballet today . Her studio had a big open house, complete with facepainting and bouncy houses.
