Being 8 is great!

We spent the weekend celebrating Kallie's 8th birthday. She was up bright and early Saturday morning ready to open gifts. Her big gifts were and LOL doll, kids fit bit and her first fish, a beta she named DJ. We spent the afternoon at the movies followed by dinner Red Robin so they can sing her Happy Birthday. After dinner we always head to frozen yogurt for dessert!

Sunday was her day to spend with friends at the Flying Circus for her birthday party. She and 15 of her best buddies were bouncing, jumping, climbing, conquering obstacle courses, eating pizza and of course ending it all with cake and ice cream (an emoji cake to be exact). It was a great birthday weekend!

Kallie, Today you turn 8 and we could not be more proud of the amazing young lady you have become. You are smart, curious, loving, empathetic, energetic, athletic and most importantly kind to everyone you meet. You love animals (especially cheetahs), playing soccer, spending time with your cousins on Vashon, swimming, exploring outside, riding your bike and school. We love watching you accomplish your goals because you can do anything you put your mind to.

This year you are off to 2nd grade and we know you will have a great year.

We love you to the moon and back!

We Love You Papa - Always & Forever

Life will never be the same without Papa but we have so many great memories to guide our way. Papa was and always will be the best papa around. He loved you more than words. He loved watching you grow, listening to all of your stories, going to your soccer games and of course giving you snuggles. Although Papa is no longer with I can tell you that he will love you always and forever.

Shoofly Farm Camp

Kallie, Sara and Kate spent a week at Shoofly Farm Camp and loved it! It was a week full of holding animals, arts and crafts, collecting eggs from the chicken coop, riding horses, playing games, singing songs and learning about all of the animals on the farm (chickens, pigs, goats, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, kittens and more). She had so many fun stores to tell about their daily adventures, it was clear she was having a fabulous time! They ended the week with a big camp cookout followed but time to show us around the farm. She is already excited for next year!

ISC Gunners Select - First Soccer Tournament

Kallie's select soccer team played in their first tournament a few weeks ago. It was a big deal because it was also the first game they had played together as a team. All of the girls came to the tournament ready to play and wanting to win. They had a blast and played amazing, winning 2 and losing 2 coming in 3rd overall. It was so much fun watching Kallie play and seeing the determination on her face. We are excited she is on such a fun team and are ready for the season to officially start in September - Go Gunners
