Marquez has been up in Tacoma visiting Grandpa and Grandma all week and we have missed him. It is fun to talk to him on the phone every night and see what he is up to.

Makaylee takes over one of Marquez's chores: emptying the dishwasher. Nyah insists she is old enough to help as well.

Ben is so proud of his peanut foam creations. What an artist!

The pirate cake was awesome!

I went to check on Nyah during her nap yesterday and this is how I found her sound asleep. So funny! She falls asleep in the strangest positions.
