October Fun


October is full of school activities and Kallie loves them all. We started the month with the Orange Ruler Fun Run. Ms. Fairbanks class came in 2nd place so the kids were very excited to earn a Jamba Juice party. This week her class had a writing celebration where the kids got to share their personal narrative writing. Kallie’s story was all about our trip to Sunriver and our horseback riding adventure. It was super cute and very clear that she loved that vacation.

Last night was the Cougar Club Halloween Family Night. Her school goes all out with pumpkin carving, bouncy houses, a photo booth and lots of food/candy. Eric usually does the pumpkin carving but I think Kallie and I did pretty darn well with our pumpkins. So far October has been a bit of a whirlwind but tons of fun. We are ready for you Halloween!

Salmon Days 2019


Another fun Issaquah Salmon Days in the books! This year I took Kallie with a few friends to carnival at her school on Friday night to avoid the crowds. There were not a ton of rides but the kids were able to go on the rides over and over so it was a big hit. Saturday we met a few friends downtown to watch the parade. Kallie loved being with her buddies and seeing so many kids from IVE. We took the shuttle to the festival for lunch and to check out the booths. Thankfully the weather cooperated and a good time was had by all.
