Pool Time

We got the kids a "kid friendly" camera.  Amelia was always using mine and I found an underwater one on Amazon.  So far they have been having a blast using it at the pool.   I am excited for our next trip to see a vacation through their eyes.

Stay tuned for more photos.

Moves like Jagger

Liam is LOVING Kindergarten.   His music teacher sent me a video of him dancing in class.   Classy.

Summer 16

We had the pleasure of having my Cousin Kaitlin spend 8 weeks in WA this summer.    We had a lot of fun showing her around and the kids all really got along VERY well.

She created this movie of a compilation of videos and pictures taken throughout her time.   Amelia and Liam love watching it and it's something great to look back on later.

Liam's Dino Party

Forgot to post in April.  Oops.

Liam's 5th Bday was Dino themed.    He has really been into learning about Dinosaurs and it was a great match for his Bday theme.  He was allowed to invite a friend from his class and the rest were condo kids.  

He seemed to really have a good time....and already planning his next one.

Dino donut eating contest...no hands. 

Birthday cake. 

We played Dino themed games of an egg hunt, breaking ice Dino eggs, pin the tail on the Dino, and the eating contest. 

Liam rides two wheels!

This summer Liam learned how to ride without training wheels.  We had been working on it for a while, but he didn't feel confident.   As soon as Wade landed in the States, he jumped on and took off.   He was so proud and so were we. 

Summer 16'

8 weeks of the I-5 shuffle was fast and furious, but worth it.  As always, we had a PACKED summer of family, friends and Fun.

Liam Tball

This past Spring, Liam played softball with PreK and KG friends.  It was more skills based then games, but he loved it.  The last couple of sessions they started to play games and you could tell that Liam was really starting to understand the whole concept.   Now when he watches Wade play, hopefully his attention span will last longer.

Overall it was a good experience for him.
