First day of 6th Grade - Cougar Mountain Middle School

 

Today is your first day of 6th grade at Cougar Mountain Middle School.  You have had all of the feelings the last few weeks -  excited, nervous you won't get your locker open, get lost trying to find your classes and  . . . but mostly you excited and ready!  

We are excited for your next adventure -  we know you will do GREAT!

Camp Sambica H2O Camp

 

I am pretty sure you would go to camp every day if you could - it is your most favorite thing to do in the summer.  Sambica H2O camp was a big hit again this year.   You went with a few girls from your soccer team, met quite a few new friends and had a blast.  From your stories, I think the banana boat, ropes course, inflatables on the water, high dive and gaga-ball were your favorites!

Happy 12th Birthday!

Happy 12th Birthday!  Today was a big day, not only is it your birthday but you got your first cell phone.  You were shocked, excited and a wee nervous all at the same time.  It was so fun to surprise you with such a big gift - one you have been wanting for a very long time.  

After gifts we packed up and spent the afternoon at the zoo - this is a birthday tradition we started years ago that you still love. Followed by birthday froyo at your favorite spot in Issaquah.  I love your love for traditions! 

The birthday fun continued over the weekend with a paddle boarding/beach day with some of your closest soccer friends.  You guys spent hours paddling and jumping and and off the boards.  We headed home for birthday cake and backyard soccer of course (with Murphy).   You are one lucky girl to have so many great friends to help you celebrate. 

We love you - Happy Birthday to you!

Note:  At your annual check up you were just under 5' 7" (99%) !!!
