Hamilton Happenings......: November 2024

Babysitting day with Auntie while Mommy subs!

Kyrie had his first b-ball tourney for the season! He couldn't play the second day due to his musical, but his BFF, Bryson, made this basket in overtime to win the tournament against a team they lost to the prior day! Tourney champs!!

Beauty and the Beast cast watch Finding Nemo together! Both casts after the show!

Kyrie and friends supporting Helen in Finding Nemo!

Our sweet little cousin, Lucy, turns 2!!!

Fun Halloween decor Mia made in ceramics!!

Book Club! The Briar Club- The story had recipes throughout the book from the 1950s, so we incorporated them into our book club theme! I made an 8 layer cake(kind of like crepes) that only took a few hours! ;)

Lina's Eight-Layer Honey Cloud Cake! Turned our surprisingly yummy!

All the 8 layers!!

The banana dessert from the book, too!

Naomi and Maco are back at it on the basketball court again this year!

Kyrie fundraising for his DC trip! Thanks to our generous family and friends, Kyrie has raised 1/4 of the cost of the trip! If anyone is interested in supporting, please let us know!

Last practice for CCYF youth football! On the CHS turf!

Championship football game vs Seton Catholic! Lost to them in overtime earlier in the season. Kyrie played safety on defense for the game!

Love that the Camas Black team came to support! Kyrie was on the black team every year, until they separated by middle schools this year. Played with a couple of these boys since kinder!!

This game was pretty uneventful for Kyrie, but he did help with a tackle a little!:)

Almost got an interception!

Won 14-6!!

Trophy presentation!

Another work day with Mommy! Chillin' at a house during a home inspection!

Nyla's first baby story time! We always go to the older story times because we have older kiddos, and this was so nice to be geared more toward her age!

One of my parent jobs for Kyre's show was making the show buttons! Naomi had a blast making them with me!!

Helper #2!

The littles dancing!

Who needs toys, just need windows!! ;)

Nyla hit Nay's tooth out!!

Found it!!

Turkey Bingo at the Lacamas Lodge! With the kids' busy schedules, we haven't been able to do this since the big kids were little! I was thankful I could take the 2 littles this year to have some Bingo fun!

Naomi was the last kid winner of the night! I unfortunately did not win a turkey!

Ice cream fun!

Opening night cast party!

Kyrie had his second day of shows on the 30th anniversary of the day my mom went to Heaven. He was losing his voice, so I thought it was only appropriate to drink his honey tea in my mom's Shine Through Me mug! With all the Portland Broadway she did, I know she would have loved to be here in the audience watching Kyrie on stage!

Naomi passes out playbills!
