It's hard to believe that Molly is old enough for our special Growing Up Day!  I set up afternoon tea for us using some of our new tropical dishes.  I took time to plan what we were going to talk about, got her a frame with her picture in it and a print out of...

What an AMAZING NIGHT this was!  Molly's 4th and 5th grade choir from school sang the national anthem at the Mariners' Game on May 19th!  We took the light rail up to Seattle for the sound check.  Tom, Ashley and Sage drove up and met us there for the game.

It's hard to believe that it's already the end of the school year!!  This year, there was SO MUCH going on during Celebration of Learning.  There was the Science Fair (love that it was on this night), Cup Stacking (which we didn't have time to do), a choir performance...

Tom worked from home one morning and we went bowling as a family!  The girls didn't have school as it was a snow makeup day that we didn't need.  🙂  We took advantage of this and went bowling at a time when we knew it wouldn't be crowded!  It was so much fun!!!!...

We had shows 3 weekends in a row!  The last show was "Jonah's Druthers" by the Joyful Noise Children's Choir at church.Sage was originally going to be in the Joyful Noise Musical, but it was just too much.  So this performance was just Molly and Ashley.  They worked...

Molly and Ashley had the opportunity to be in a Musical zero hour class this winter and spring.  They worked for about 16 hours to put together Seussical Jr.  After auditions, Molly was cast as Mayzie and Ashley was cast as a Yellow Bird Girl.  They were both so...

This year, the middle schools had a new after school drama director, choreographer and dance coach.  Sage's experience in Shrek last year was wonderful and she was excited to be in another school musical.  They chose The Wizard of Oz and she was cast as an Ozian and...
