Girls' 8th Birthday Bash

The girls had their birthday party this past Sunday. Last year Kyle and I took just the two of them here and they loved it. This year we decided to have a party there. We choose Sunday morning to try and avoid the older kid crowds. There was one other party going on so it was nice and not crowded. 

They got some skating in and some play house playing in. 

Pizza, lemonade, and root beer. 

Arcade playing 

Cupcakes and Ice cream!

More skating!

Isaac and our neighbor Soren. 

These three all share the SAME birthday! 

Busy morning, we came home and even though we said no presents of course a few girls gave them some. So they opened them back at home with Talas our neighbor friend. 

Mary was pretty worn out, her and Thomas laid down for a nap. It's a rare occasion I can get Mary to nap, but she needed it!

Then the girls got busy playing with their lego set :-) 

 

More May Miscellaneous

 Trying to keep up and it seems we're in a stage of life where I take a LOT of pictures and we have a LOT going on. Saturday mornings have been full of soccer. The little boy team of Thomas and 4 year olds I've been coaching and then Emma is on a team as well. Some mornings they play at the same time 8am last week, and sometimes it's back to back 8 then 9. It has been nice to have. It done early in the day on Saturday and not take up our whole day. 

Saturday after our chicken relocation project we went out to eat for dinner then stopped at a local favorite for dessert. Frost!

Monday night soccer, squeezing in games for the final week of soccer. 

Wednesday (yesterday) Thomas had his FINAL day of preschool. Fun little celebration. 

(Video of songs go here - will add later)

Last night we had our last small group meet up at Chicken N Pickle. It's been so great to get to know some local folks through our church small group. 

Girls had their 8 year old check up today. The pediatrician we've been seeing since we moved here is also moving back to Seattle next month! Good timing.
