More fun In Washington!

Here is Dory with one of her sewing projects-  her Grandma and Grandpa Monks got her a sewing kit for her birthday and she loves it. 

We attended the Cub Scout blue & gold carnival this week! We had a great time. Here is Brian trying out the bean bag toss. 

And Clayton at the face-painting booth (he wanted his hand painted instead).

Brian (in the blue neckerchief and hat on the right) at the cupcake walk!  

Say cheese!

Clayton and I are having fun!

Here are the kids enjoying the tradition I always make for them- Swedish pancakes!! They have eaten a LOT of them this week and they are soooo good!! 

Birthday girl!

Brian and Dory decided to try the 'Lacey Loves to Read' activity this month. They had to write a paragraph, then visit five businesses in town and read it to an employee there. Then the employee would talk about how they use reading and writing in their work, then sign the kid's paper. Here is what Brian and Dory said (Lisa wrote it down for them). I loved it! 

I am here in Lacey visiting! We have had a great time! Lisa and I took Dory to 'Build-a-Bear' to pick out a birthday surprise. She chose two small teddy bears. She named them Sugar and Cinnamon.

We also went to Northwest Trek again; Andrew and I hadn't been there. It was beautiful and we had a great time. The scenery was incredible!

Then it was time for Dory's birthday! We had a fun party with some Studio C flair. 

We went to Red Robin for her birthday dinner. Love this six-year-old!!!

Lisa and Dory have already finished reading her birthday present, the book 'Dory Fantasmagory'. It's about a girl named Dory who is six, the youngest of three siblings, who has a ton of imagination! How perfect is that?? It was so fun and she immediately wanted to read it again. 

Happy Birthday Dory-girl!!
