Finishing up the School Year
I can't believe we only have 5 days left of school. Last week was a busy week (as is this week).
Dad’s Retirement
In May, I flew down to surprise my Dad for his work retirement party! I contacted his boss a few months ago and we were able to work it out. I arranged to stay with Mom and Dad in Huntington Beach and showed up at his work in time for the party! He was so...
Happily Forever After
This past weekend was the Joyful Noise Musical, "Happily Forever After." The children's choir had been working on this since January and the girls were very excited for their 3 performances! At the beginning of the show, Ashley got to come in late with 3...
Awana Awards Ceremony

Poulsbo for the Day

Trauma Night at AWANA
Trauma night at AWANA. The picture says it all! Emily came over after school and she and Sage spent 2 hours doing special effect makeup on themselves and a little on Molly and Ashley. They've never gotten into this theme night before, but Sage got a special effect...
