Lots of birthdays and hanging out. I've been working a lot on Halo:Reach, and I'm tired!

No time to elaborate... it's late and I need to get to bed. Here's some photos from the past 4 weeks!

Our town.

Hollywood is kind of a tough act to follow. But after a couple o' years, little Bellevue is starting to grow on us. Starting to...

 

Mike, Keryn and Deklen breathe in the healing mists of Snoqualmie Falls.

 

Deklen, Elliot, and Lia are safe from the lethal waterfall, held in place by the iron grip of dad's weird, veiny hand. Dude, why's my hand so veiny? Never mind, look at the cute kids and try to forget the hand.

Charlie celebrates her 4th birthday! Seems like yesterday she was just a tiny baby!

 

Smooooch!

 

Charlie opens presents under watchful eyes...

 

Charlie gets ready to blow out her four candles.

 

Cora basks in a seldom-seen Washington State natural phenomenon called, (wait for it) "sunlight".

 

"It's gonna be my birthday in a few weeks... Oh yeeeeaaaahhhh!"

 

Morgan turns 8! Holy cow!

 

It's a balloon-alanche at Morgan's 8th birthday party!

 

"Wha? A self-powered James locomotive? Wow!"

 

"Bahhhhh!"

"Ayaaaaahhhh!!!"

 

 

 

 

As he readies himself upon the plastic threshold, Elliot prepares his mind and body for one thing: sliding. Also he's rocking those shades.

 

Aww, isn't he cute!

Mom and Deklen aren't too bad, either.

 

"Waterfalls are loud, cold,. windy, and misty! Who's brilliant idea was this... again?"

Charlie unwraps a lollipop wand and wonders, "What sorts of spells can I cast on Maclin?"

 

Haley brings the cake to the waiting guests, and her little girl.

 

"Fwwwwoosh!"

 

"Whatever was in that cake, it ROCKED!"

 

"OK, who put ice cubes down my dang PANTS!"

 

Remember when Morgan was just a little baby boy in 2001?

 

And at Maclin's 2nd birthday party...

"OMG, these are just the kind of toys I like!"

 

"Dad, if that cake gets an inch closer, so help me I WILL blow those candles down!"

 

Maclin blows out his two candles like a professional.
