Weekend Birthday Celebration

Baylor, Sophie, Emma, Elle, Gia, Olivia, Ceci, Marcus

All the cousins were here this weekend to celebrate the early June birthdays. It was HOT...so we got a slip and slide. They had a quick break for dinner on the warm asphalt. It cooled off at night so we had a fire. That meant roasting marshmallows for s'mores too.

The next day we had a birthday party.  We started off with badminton. The shade was nice. 

Tracy bought a fun craft for the kids. They each got a cute little box to paint. 

The early June birthday girls...Olivia, Ceci, Emma...present time! 

We also had a pinata.  All the kids lined up. Eventually it broke and all the kids got the treats.

We took a quick break from the birthday party to do family photos.  We tried different areas for lighting...this wasn't the best spot, but still cute. We got Costco cake for the celebration; I put the girls' name on it. Everyone sang Happy Birthday. We didn't have candles so they just pretended...what a fun time with family!

Talent Show

Friday was the 3rd Grade Talent Show.  Emma and Olivia did a lot of dances.  Lexie, Sydney and Emma were warming up when I arrived. These girls have been practicing for a long time...they were impressive. I did allow make up for this event...look at that face! Tyler, Lexie, Malia, Katie and Olivia waiting for the show to start. Marcus' class came in to watch.  There were several classes...the bleachers were packed.

The first act was Sidney, Katie, Olivia, Lexie, Malia and Emma dancing.  They did fabulous. Katie and Olivia also did a dance...it was super cute. Emma did her dance with Lexie and Malia and did very well.  Look at that sweet girl. They ended with a big class dance.  What a fun group!

Girls group: Sidney, Emma, Olivia, Malia in the back; Lexie and Katie up front. 

These girls have been tight this year.  Such fun to have so many good friends. I just had to get a twin picture...I'm really not sure about all that make up but it was fun for them. 

The entire class...thanks Mrs. Chan for being such a great teacher!  The "Bee Amazing" is Mrs. Chan's sign...it was the theme of the year and the kids were amazing!

Field Day

The last Friday of school...it was Field Day!  The kids got to do all sorts of activities. Baylor and Elle came to visit. The kids balanced balloons on spoons.  Even Baylor got to participate. What a fun day.

Nine Already?

June 2, 2015...9 years old!  We were supposed to have our last baseball game but the other team cancelled due to possible thundershowers...so we got to celebrate birthdays instead.  They got to go shopping and pick out some outfits the day before...so these were just little extra gifts for their actual birthday. They are running out of room for storing jewelry so they got cute jewelry boxes. They also each got a jewelery making kit. We had left over cake and cupcakes from their weekend party so that is what we used for singing Happy Birthday! Emma made a cute pair of earrings already!

Happy 9th Birthday Olivia and Emma!

Mariners

We had the team photos last week for coach pitch.  I got a sneak peak to help the photographer ID the kids (there are perks to being the coach's wife).  Tonight is their last game.  This is such a great team...so much fun!
