Auntie Heaven

I have been waiting to make a blog post that has photos from recent visits of all my nieces and nephews and I can finally do that! I can almost say that I've seen all my siblings as well, but alas Eric has moved out of state and I don't know when I'll see him again. Eric, we miss you!

One of the main reasons why I bought a car was so that I could do road trips and visit people I love at my convenience and not based on the train or bus schedule. I've finally started doing some of those fun things (ok, grocery shopping with a car is still a bigger thrill than I can admit. Walking a mile with groceries or taking the bus to the store grew old a long time ago). In May after going to the Pankey's party I went to visit the Correll's for Paula's 34th birthday. I also got some needed playtime with Billy and Ben. The following weekend I went to Portland and visited the Okkens. I hadn't seen them in two years. Gabriella is 13 now and I met for the first time Sophia who will be two in August. And then yesterday I went to Dad and Ginny's where Chris, Krista and Levi were visiting. It was Chris's 31st birthday! I will visit C, K, and L in Vancouver, BC in a few weeks!

So here a some pics that are proof of why I am such a proud Auntie (and Sister and Daughter)!

Papa Gil.
GG aka Grandma Ginny.

Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean in Lego form. (He doesn't look as hot with his hair and hat off).

Gabriella and I. We had a girls night out and saw Pirates of the Caribbean in 3D. It is awesome that Gabster is old enough to do fun stuff like that together now!
Sophia.
The Okkens house. I think my car looks good in their driveway. I hope I can park it there more often! The inside is beautiful! They live there with Michelle's mom, Lavina and her brother, Chris.
Gabriella, Michelle, Sophia and Brian Okken. They took me out to P.F. Chang's for dinner. It was delicious and a lot of fun. I still think it is totally awesome I have an older brother! We met when I was 16. So that means we have known each other for nearly 20 years now. Yikes and Wowzers!Billy.

Ben. He is into making funny faces.Brothers.

While Billy was at kindergarten Ben, Paula and I went for a walk at a neat park near Chambers Bay.
