The kids had been waiting for weeks! Minefaire finally came to Seattle, and I got free tickets through my connections at work. We invited Jozie and Sawyer to join us for a day of fun! We left home at 8 AM and headed west on the ferry. We were told to grab spots in lineContinue reading “Minefaire Seattle”

Mini Olympics 2019
Haley finished up her third year of gymnastics with the traditional mini-Olympics. We loved watching each of her events and cheering for her, and we especially loved gathering at Menchie’s frozen yogurt afterward!
Technology Fun Run
Every year’s Haley’s school does a fundraiser for money for buying technology. This year, some of the other moms and I decided to walk it with the kids. Some of them make it several miles! Aren’t these little girls cuties?
Diary of Anne Frank
We went to see the opening night of The Diary of Anne Frank at Seattle Children’s Theater. I prepped the kids with the basics of the storyline: World War II, Holocaust, Nazis, Jews. They were concerned. It felt like a very heavy topic (and it is!). We had dinner on the ferry, as usual, andContinue reading “Diary of Anne Frank”
Second Grade Assembly
Haley was so excited for her speaking part in her second grade assembly! At first, after working very hard practicing for a tryout, she was told she would not get a part because she had a speaking part last year. We were disappointed that information wasn’t communicated before tryouts… but then she told us sheContinue reading “Second Grade Assembly”

Back to School 2018
It’s that time of year! The kids are back in school, pumpkins are at the stores, and the smell of fall is in the air. We went out for ice cream the day before school started, just to put the final nail in summer. And then the lunch packing begins! 180 times a year… BothContinue reading “Back to School 2018”
Haley’s Birthday
What a good time we had celebrating Haley turning eight! Her birthday this year came in phases… starting with a family birthday party over a week in advance. Haley wanted to make sure Uncle Jeff, Aunt Gena, and Ali had a chance to attend before they left to take Ali to college in California, soContinue reading “Haley’s Birthday”
Mini-Olympics 2018
Each May, Haley’s gym puts on a mini-Olympics for the students in their recreational classes. Since gymnastics is her only sport and there are no games to attend, all family members marked their calendars and showed up to support her! Haley performed a short routine on each apparatus, and then collected her medal and certificateContinue reading “Mini-Olympics 2018”
Haley’s photo shoot
Our niece Ali is taking photography at school and she got a nice DSLR camera for a gift, so she takes great photos. She invited Haley to do a photo shoot at an ice cream shop for one of her last projects. Of course, Haley said yes! Ali sent me the photos and I pickedContinue reading “Haley’s photo shoot”
