September 2019

 I would pick up Cannon everyday at 2:15 from HP, which is an hour before school got out, so he could make it to Lakes for tennis. He wasn't super motivated to work hard enough to make varsity, but he did get better all season. It was pretty hard for him to keep up with Spanish since he was missing so much of the class everyday. 

 The days that Nona would just play instead of nap she would fall asleep in the car on the way to tennis. I love a sleeping kids. This day she was in a super deep sleep and didn't wake up the entire practice even with the car starting and stopping and kids getting in and out.

Nona wanted these fake fingernails so bad. They stayed on for about 2 seconds and then we had to keep finding them to put them back on. I love how chubby her little hands are and how cute she was with her nails.

1st Day of school 2019

So far behind, but super motivated this year to try to get caught up on this journal for the family. Lyla starting 7th grade at HP and doing cross country, basketball and volleyball at Lochburn. Cannon starting 10th grade and doing tennis at Lakes. Miya started running start at Pierce College and swim at Lakes. Nona enjoying another year at home with me ; )

NW Trek 2019

Fun to compare these pictures from 11 years ago. I can't believe how big my kids are and so fun to see how many pictures we had to take to get all the kids looking and holding Nona is place for the photo.

For the summer reading program this summer we decide to do NW Trek instead of the zoo. Nona loved it and it was fun to go with the Newville girls.

Summer Swim 2019

We had such a great summer here with friends and cousins and playing in the water. It has been so great to have Andra live next door and Aaron living with mom and dad had his kids every couple of weeks. Lyla and Nona were in heaven having so many kids around to play with. We also had a great couple of days with the jumpers and Kris even went one time and we loved jumping in off the dock when he landed in the water. I love summer so much and enjoy when my kids love being outside and with everyone.

Blackberry Picking 2019

Blackberry picking with Nona at Ft. Seilacoom Park while Miya was at volleyball camp this summer. Nona loved being out picking and we got enough for a blackberry crisp when we got home. She even got to feed some ladies dog a blackberry which was the highlight of the outing.
