Jammin' January!

 

We won a special experience with our principal, Dr. Sork, at our school auction! She came and put on  Polar Express party with the kids and 6 of their friends! Schedules were too crazy before Christmas, so we did it after!




Dr. Sork started by reading the Polar Express book!

Next was craft time! Each kid got to decorate their own box to hold their bell!

  

All the kiddos got their own special conductor hats!



Hot chocolate & treats!


And finally watching the Polar Express together!


Dr. Sork gave all the kids a ticket that they got to punch their initial into!



Such a fun afternoon with Dr. Sork and friends!



All the goodies from Dr. Sork! 

Cuddly girls!



Just a bit of Just Dance fun!

We headed up to Tacoma at the end of Christmas break to see friends and cheer on the Bruins at PLU! And we got a win!



Our traditional chair picture for these two birthday week buddies!


A little game fun at Round Table Pizza!



Making the trek home from Tacoma late!




Up early the following morning to cheer on Mia at her basketball game!

I haven't been able to get any of Mia's baskets on video yet! But lots of good passes!(video)






Just a few seconds chasing around Nay!(video)


Kyrie is still hurt, so he can't play in his games yet!


I don't know how Kyrie did it, but he managed to get Lillard's, Mccollum's and a few other's autographs!



Heidi came with us to the game since Maco couldn't come! Her first Blazer game!



Mia getting in on the autograph action, too!



Our boys' team got to play on the court before the Blazer game!!

Kyrie's dream come true! He is determined to make it back here in about 15 years playing professionally!

Kyrie loves his x-box time with Daddy playing NBA2K18! We got out Maco's old x-box for Kyrie to try out!



So big! Feeding herself!


We still walking in the cold!




Maco has spent many hours Holding this one while working! She is such a Daddy's girl!


Nay only holds her bottle to the side while drinking!:)


Of course I let her have the cookie dough beater!



I had to laugh because this is how Papa gave her some food while he was visiting! Anyone else see a big disaster about to happen here?? :)


Naomi checking our Marli's teeth!



Naomi's 1st visit to the dentist at only 15 months! The earliest visit of all of my kids, but we were already there with the big kids! She totally loved it!!


Naomi folds her hands for prayer!


Mia had fun at the Nerf war night at church! I was impressed because she and her two friends made up half of the girls playing! 


Nay getting in on the action!





Mia running through the nerf obstacle course!






Go, GFU!


I love how close this team is and how they all put their arms around each other during timeouts!


Mia & Paige getting the women's team autographs!

Mia doing double duty as the time out chair girl, too! Caught a picture of her on the TV screen at Fox!

Go, Bruins!



This girl does a great job supporting her bro and sis each week, but is ready to play on her own team!


Papa got to watch Mia play in a basketball game, while he visited! Unfortunately, he didn't get to watch Kyrie since he still had a broken toe!


Maco had b-ball, so I got to take another hot date to "The Kind and I"!


Love this water/art mat!


Such fun with the Moore kids over for an after school play date! The boys played some football of course!


And the girls baked!! Such good kids!


Nay finally likes baths again! I think the colored water and paints help! Although she doesn't like to sit down!


I love how Maco integrates former players/coaches/admin/mentors/friends into GFU's team time! Maco's former player from Union, Spiegs, gave an awesome talk(I hear) before the game!


Nay loves being an independent girl and feeding herself!




Sitting in the bookshelves at story time!


Kyrie enjoying High School Musical on the put on by Union High School! He was on the edge of his seat the entire show!



Bball practice!


Mia got up around 630 am to make me a very special birthday breakfast! So sweet and thoughtful! I love her!


We headed up to Tacoma on my birthday to cheer on the Bruins again! Loved hanging out with my College BFFS and my baby girl for a birthday dinner! And they were so sweet to treat me!
