Kindergarten graduation!

By
Sorry, this is an old post but since I was looking at my pics, I realized I never shared these!

Our big girl Evie graduate from Kindergarten a few weeks ago. She had a great run at Newport Children's School - she loves the friends that she's made and really enjoyed all of the teachers she's had. We've liked them too! We're happy that we kept her there for one more year because I think she's learned a lot and is a much more confident little girl now, ready to take on first grade at a new school. The teachers had nothing but nice things to say about Evie when I went for the last parent-teacher conference of the year. They told me she's a bright, fun, easy-going girl who is friends with everyone in the class and not afraid to raise her hand in class to answer questions. I hope that continues next year! In Kindergarten, she mastered writing all of her letters and numbers (both upper and lower), can read pretty simple books (Level 1 and 2), is attempting to do cursive, can do simple addition and subtraction and counting by multiples.

Here's a few snaps of her Graduation ceremony. The kids were really cute and sang several songs that we've been practicing non-stop at home - Light My Way by Owl City and Try Everything by Shakira. Both have great lyrics and is very upbeat and age appropriate. Funny though that as much as Evie LOVES those songs, she couldn't look more bored singing on stage. Oh well, she really enjoyed the home-made apple pie afterwards to celebrate!

The graduate! 

The kids sang "Light My Way" and "Try Everything". oh oh oh oh oh!

Evie had a solo line - "hypothetically speaking, of course!".
I don't think she understood what she was saying.

Do you see Evie's goofy smile?

Pretty graduate!

Don't they look so alike here?

and with Grammy's homemade apple pie for dessert!

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
