Selah's 9th Birthday

I may edit for editorial purposes later, but for now I thought I would just get the pics up. Keep in mind that she was in near constant motion, so I'm honestly surprised that more of these aren't blurrier! :)

Lady Washington Battle Sail

In lieu of taking the family to Grants Pass this year, we decided to take the kids on a battle sail between the Lady Washington and her sister ship, the Hawaiian Chieftain. A battle sail consists of close maneuvers and firing of the canon! For those who may not know, the Lady Washington was used in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl as the HMS Interceptor. After our 3 hour sail and dinner at Sonic's, we watched the movie and were excited to see all the spots we had stood.

Thoroughly Modern Millie

Or at least Bekah's portion of it. :)

Some of it was blurry. I'll try to get better video tomorrow when I don't have Selah on my lap. :)

Eliza and Selah's Room...Before and After

After 8 days, hair pulling, thinking outside the box, the girls' room is finally finished!

Yay!!!!

Here's the video of the girls seeing it for the first time.

Green Eggs and Ham day

Today was the 1st graders' Green Eggs and Ham breakfast. 

Monica and I joined Selah. Her elementary school is extremely efficient. 1st graders started coming in to the cafeteria a little after 10:30am. By 11:00am, all the students and guests had eaten, cleaned up, had drawings for prizes, kids picked out a book and were headed back to the classroom. 

Beaches restaurant rocks and a good time was had by all!
