Happy 2nd Birthday Ivie Rose!
Happy Birthday Roses!
Farmer's Market...finally!
We tried to get Moxie to go in the fountain, but she didn't want to - she was a bit thirsty tho. She doesn't enjoy the heat...

Walden Island Day 13 & 14
Nikki came to pick up TeaLee on Wednesday night. This was the first time for her to see the island too.
On Day 14, Jamie got the floor of the loft finished as well as built a half wall. He then framed in the walls for the bathroom downstairs (under the stairs). We hope to have that finished on our next trip up.
Walden Island Day 11 & 12
Day 12 was more playing. Jamie had to drive to Seattle to look at equipment - that took most of the day for him. The girls spent most of the morning asking to swim, so Carol & I finally took them. When Jamie got back, we took them out on the wave runners and to swim a bit more. It was a beautiful day!
Jamie did have time to get the front step built. It's now much easier to get in/out of the shed.

Back up to Silver Lake
Relay!!
I did get about a 30 min 'power nap' in around 5:00am on Sunday morning...otherwise it was a full 24+ hours! My team (Tami's Reading Railroad) raised around $9200.00 - and are still going!! We have a few weeks left to turn in money...good thing, because I keep finding envelopes in my bag! I love that I get to spend this time with my family and friends - and with My Reason to Relay; my Aunt Tami.
After loading and unloading all of our stuff from Relay - we were all asleep by noon on Sunday. Happy Panda (yummy Chinese) was delivered at 5:30pm. We had dinner, watched some tv and were back to bed!

Tuesday Market
Makena, Gram & I went to the Tuesday Market in Hillsboro this evening. Makena had a sno-cone, Gram had an elephant ear and I tried a (huge) shredded pork wrap. We also purchased strawberries and picked up shortcakes on the way home - Makena even made the strawberry shortcake for me. It was very yummy!
We saw several people wearing their Relay For Life of Hillsboro shirts!! Relay is ONLY 4 days away!

First day of Summer vacation!
It's officially the first day of Summer vacation for Makena! Unfortunately she had to get her remaining shots for school - one in each arm - and is now a bit sore. She did get some new books from the library and I took her to one of her favorite places for lunch, so things weren't all that bad. She was a bit bummed that she didn't get a sucker OR a sticker!
Walden Island - Day 9 & 10
Rick came out on Sunday to help Jamie. They finished all of the siding, as well as installed the window. It's really looking great now! We will still need to build the stairs to the loft, make a railing, build a front step as well as a 'few' other odds/ends, but we are hoping to be staying inside the next time we go.
Walden Island - Day 8

5th Grade Send-Off
Today was the class party for Makena's 5th Grade class...sniff, sniff...my baby is going to be in Middle School. The 5th Graders spent the day at the Rec. Center swimming, playing, dancing and eating. There are only 4 more days of school left, and they are all very excited about that!
Jamie & Costco
Those of you that know Jamie well; know how much he loves Costco. Costco also loves Jamie as he will gladly spend a bunch of money there in a very short time!! He recently ran up to get muffins and kleenex (so I would rest my foot) and was gone longer than it should have taken. On his way home, he called to remind me never to send him to Costco again. He came home with the muffins, kleenex, walkie talkies, new telephones, a few other things - and the Vita Mixer... He sat and watched the promo about the Vita Mixer and knew he just had to have one! So, if you're ever in the area...stop by for a fruit shake...he makes them all the time now!
Zoo Camperoo
On Sunday morning we hid fruits & veggies in the elephant area and then watched them as they tried to find the food. Unfortunately we weren't able to spend a few more hours walking around that day as my foot was hurting pretty badly.
