We can’t believe it’s been a whole decade since this strong, intelligent young lady entered our lives. We started the day with Haley’s birthday breakfast request: monkey bread and some other sides. Then we had some time for gifts since Jim was leaving for work. He had already given Haley her main gift earlier inContinue reading “Haley turns 10”

Field Trip to the Art Museum
I was able to chaperone Haley’s field trip to the Tacoma Art Museum today, and we had a great time. The museum docents did an amazing job. Our first station was reading the book Blue is My Happy, which I now love. Then we talked about how color evokes emotion, and we analyzed this paintingContinue reading “Field Trip to the Art Museum”
Great West Gym Fest
Three days after we got back from Utah, we drove to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for Haley’s competition called Great West Gym Fest. We were blessed to stay with my cousin, Cora, and her two kids with my aunt and uncle right next door. We enjoyed Tubbs Hill Park and a two-mile walk on Saturday morning.Continue reading “Great West Gym Fest”
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Our family left after the holidays and JT wanted to get moving on the Christmas tree, so he offered to set it up. We had two hours before we needed to leave for basketball, and he was a man on a mission. The kids put up trees while I did the rest of the house,Continue reading “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”
New Commuter Car
…It’s also known as “Haley’s first car” in our family! Jim has to return his take home car from work this week, so he’s been looking for a commuter car option and trying to decide what is the best purchase long term, given our other plans to replace my car and our children needing somethingContinue reading “New Commuter Car”

Haley is now 4 foot 3.5 inches, making her 38th percentile, which is exactly where she was last year! She has dropped in weight and BMI, but her muscular gymnastics body is the reasonContinue reading “Haley Turns 9”
Haley does voiceovers
Haley and I took a trip to the Novel Effect studios in Seattle in mid-July. She got to attend a business meeting, do a demo of their new app, and record her voice for one of their new books! She did a great job! On the way home, we were thrilled that Jim was onContinue reading “Haley does voiceovers”
Team Gymnast
She did it! Haley is now a Team Gymnast. Not that we are surprised by this at all… but it’s very exciting. Three years ago, Haley joined her gym as a level 1 gymnast, one hour, one day a week. She loved it. She decided she wanted to pursue being a Team Girl. When sheContinue reading “Team Gymnast”

The girls went to the Seattle Aquarium by bus and byContinue reading “Two Field Trips”
