Here’s a photo of the cake I made for Jasmine’s birthday last weekend. It was tasty too:

Jasmine the princess (celebrating 5!)
Yesterday we celebrated our niece Jasmine’s 5th birthday. She’s convinced she IS Princess Jasmine. Also in the photos are nephews Skyler and Colin, Jasmine’s friends Grace and Riley, and the strawberry cloud cream filled and frosted cake I made (and of course, "the baby" who never fails to freak us out as we see it in the lawn).

Happy Birthday Nikita!
It’s Nikita’s 13th birthday today, and considering we did one of her most *unfavorite* things today (vacuumed), I decided I should at least put a little tribute up for her on the blog. I’ll also give her a couple treats since she could care less about the blog. Anyways, here are a couple more photos from her kitty youth:
She still gives us this look today:
We called this her “rabbit pose” (she doesn’t really do this anymore):
This is one of my favorite portraits of her from her early years living in the country:
Happy birthday Nikita!
Happy Birthday Jay!
We’re part-way through a celebration today for Jay’s birthday. Here’s our day (in photos) so far:
On the elusive 11 (our car was in the shop) on the way to the Seattle Art Museum to see the Picasso exhibit:
Drinking a cappuccino at Stella’s:
Outside SAM after the exhibit (it was awesome):
Enjoying the view over Puget Sound:
A walk through the Market (Pike Place Pigs):
A fine dinner to come later (after a nap!).
Much love to you Jay! You are the best.

Happy 100th Grandma Mildred
We just got home from a weekend in LA to celebrate Jay’s grandma Mildred’s 100th birthday. She’s such an amazing person—funny, full of incredible stories, and still extremely present, even after living in this crazy world for 100 years. It’s hard to even wrap your head around all that she’s lived through: the depression, too many wars, the population of the world growing from 1.6 billion to close to 7 billion. Wow.
Happy birthday Grandma Mildred. Here’s to your 101st year!
Happy Birthday Jay!
Happy 15th Nikita!
Extra special Cat Treat Rodeo Round-up for you tonight! The following was recorded at an earlier date, but gives you a sense of what she’ll be doing later:
