William's birthday and more

William chose this cake out of my party cakes book, hence we had a pirate themed 6th birthday party for him a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time we've done a friend party for any of our kids, and I think they all had a great time.

"Arrgh!" Captain Will and crew. Notice all the mustaches on these six year olds :)

William is in tee ball this summer and really loves it. He has his last game 2 days before we come to Portland!

All the boys came up from the basement like this one day. I love my cowboys! And I love that they all play together so well.

Sorry this pic is a bit blurry, but I thought it was a great one to commemorate one of our last days with David and Joc living nearby. We miss them!

Adam is eating solids, and loving them!

At my sister Amber's wedding.

Williams kindergarten class put on a little musical play called the Three Piggy Opera. Will was Father Pig. I just wish William didn't have to grow up.

I love this picture.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAIMA

Happy Birthday Nai! I love Naima because she is everything that you would hope your granddaughter would turn out to be. I remember her as a tiny baby sleeping in grandma's and my bedroom on Nawiliwili Street pleading after we were all tucked in for the night, "Juice Grandma" . Up without a moments hesitation would be grandma to bring a bottle of juice to our first grandchild. She is beautiful, loving, talented, inquisitive, supportive, and beautiful in all respects.

Grandpa

Seattle!

This is the before picture... just about the only thing we own is books (8 boxes of books!)
Our Master bedroom
Our spare room (That is Anna'a bed so we have started calling it Anna's room but anyone is welcome to come visit it!)
Our main room with deck
The books are now contained
Our deck view of Lake Washington.

Dave and I have made it Seattle and are all unpacked and organized so we thought we would share some pictures. We would welcome visitors anytime! We are loving our new home, neighborhood and ward. We are Bennion Family number 7 in the ward! And Uncle Lynn's sister-in-law, Ann Hinckley Romish, is our RS President. Small World! Dave is in SF and Atlanta this week for training and my project is to redo our kitchen table by the time he gets back... good thing he is gone the whole week!
