Girls' Party '05

Since I'm going to be leaving for Montana in a few days, Alena, Jessi, Rosie, Hannah and I had a girls' slumber party. We did make-up, fireworks (we let the boys join:), and watched "Minnesota Cuke" and "The Pacifier". We went to bed at 3:00 a.m. :) Lots of pictures were taken. My favorite pictures are the pictures with the sparklers. They turned out interesting since my camera has a slightly slow shutter speed. That made them all look really interesting. If we had known that ahead of time, we could have had a lot of fun with that.

Unknowingly spelling the word NO with our sparklers. 

This is Joel and Ellen's house after we started fireworks. :) Just kidding. Here is some of our fireworks. 

RJ learned not to crash a girls party.

June 18, 2005

On June 18th, I took one last trip to the coast with Joel, Ellen, and family. We first went to the Hatfield Marine Science Center. The most interesting thing we saw there was Roxie, the giant octapus. After that we went to the coast. We found a lot of goodies there, but the most fun we had was when we were being followed by a seal. He kept popping up to look at us as we walked down the coast. We went out waist-deep in the water and he got as close as about 20 feet from us.

We saw this guy at the coast. He kept following us down the coast and checking in to see what we were doing.

What's coming up this summer

I'm going to be moving back to Montana this summer. Mom and Dad will be coming up here for the weekend of the Fourth of July. I'm still looking for a job, but many people have given me ideas of places to look for a job.

Another look at the beautiful Oregon Coast. 

A Jelly. 

A Hermit Crab, Jacques. We found him on the beach. 

A Puffin at the Aquarium. It's saying, "Ohhhhh....You're so cute!" 

Showing great strength. Notice who's winning.

Having fun on Easter 

Here is a picture of me, my three aides, and our classroom grandma. 

Here is one of the Sweet Home Murals. There are Murals on the sides of many buildings here. 

Here is a picture Joel drew of himself. He drew it by looking in a mirror. 

Hannah and her friend Jordan. Here you can see Hannah's new glasses better. 

Here is the Strawberry Horse. 

At the Strawberry Parade. Notice Hannah's new glasses.
