The end of summer...
Uncle Joe came to visit and we were all super excited as always. It was only for one evening, but we made the most of it. One of many fundraisers, the soon to be fifth graders had a very successful bake sale just down the street. That weekend, we also got to watch Porter's girlfriend Lula.
Meanwhile the girls got another outing with their previous Kindergarten teacher and her daughter who was Cienna's fifth grade buddy when she was in Kindergarten. They enjoyed getting their nails done and Yogurtland! Mom took a couple days off before school started on Wednesday. We had a ton of fun including a few play dates and an hour or so at Knott's which seemed like we were the only ones there. It was AWESOME. We also had lots of family time that weekend including re-building gates and playing catch. Mommy and Kaylee got their nails done, while Daddy and Cienna spent time together at home.
Then came soccer. Two practices a week and they love it. Mommy and Mac are coaching and Daddy is doing plenty of referee time to earn points for the girls team, as well as helping at practice anytime he can. They were excited to meet new friends and get their uniforms. Kaylee's team is the Spicy Red Peppers and Cienna's is the Electric Highlighters.
It is Cienna's last year at Carver..... It's been a lot to take in for sure! Mostly for Mommy and Daddy as Cienna is of course ready. The girls were both excited to see their friends and start the school year!
Finishing the summer with a bang after the first few days of school the Bakx had an amazing backyard camp out for the end of summer/Labor Day/Joan's Birthday. Lots of pool time, outdoor movies, rocking out in the garage and sleeping in tents!
The next week we had a fantastic visit with Grammy and Auntie Bridget who flew in to spend lots of time with us and go on some adventures in Southern California! We all loved every moment of their visit. After hanging out one evening with Grammy, Bridget arrived the next day and was brave enough to make the walk to school and surprise the girls at lunch time. Then they headed to the Queen Mary for an evening of haunting adventures. The next day Grammy and Bridget picked up the girls from AJ's, where they are so happy to go to after school when Mommy can't pick them up, to show them all around the Queen Mary as well. Of course indulging them with sweatshirt paraphernalia. We then all met up for a local date night dinner before they headed onward to a trip to Catalina. When they got back we had more time together at nearby hotel swimming and making a delicious spaghetti dinner. It meant so much to all of us for them to come visit.
The next pool time was at the Chavez's for Ovi's 4th Birthday. Then the following week Girl Scout meetings started back up for this school year.
The girls were both very excited to get to play their first soccer games! They both are really loving the sport and the friendships that come with it! It is so much fun to watch them smile throughout each of their whole games.
We had a great Harry Potter themed get together next door after school the next Friday to celebrate Haiden turning 8. And the next day Kaylee got to have her first sleepover without Cienna at the Marshall's for Nicki's 9th birthday. We got to have Lex stay with us, so it was pretty much a sister swap for the evening. To end the summer, Mommy got to finally play soccer since her Fall Sunday Women's Outdoor team started again.
Enjoy every day!

Cienna - 10 Years 7 Months... Kaylee - 8 Years 2 Months!
There was twin day for the last themed day Friday morning gymnastics practices before more summer fun came this last month. Afterward we went on our way to camping at Dog Wood with most of our camping crew. The first evening we got the great news of Cobi and Bri's engagement who were joining us the next day. After their arrival we spent time on the inflatables and water slides at Lake Gregory which unfortunately didn't have nearly enough water to be considered a lake. We all had fun playing many games, taking nature guided and non guided nature hikes, and making up plays on the nearby stage.
The following week was one of the hottest and of course was the girls AYSO soccer camp. They didn't once complain about the heat and just enjoyed playing soccer with the great coaches and friends that they met. After soccer camp on Friday they joined in on their gymnastics team beach day at Seal Beach. All the girls had so much fun getting to hang with their teammates and just play in the water. Daddy took the girls to practice the next day since Mommy had to do a U12 soccer coach clinic to ensure being able to coach both girls soccer teams this year.
Acting Out camp came next. The girls had been talking about this camp since last summer and it surely didn't disappoint this year! Their was a smaller group and one included the main teachers niece from out of town. They made great friends and worked really hard to put on an amazing show for all the parents at the end of the week.
Meanwhile we were preparing for a quick trip to Mammoth for Bluesapalooza. Most of the Netters and Bakx were already there, then Daddy left on Thursday evening with Roman and Mike Netter to see TajMo Friday evening. Mommy and the girls left after their Acting Out performance on Friday. We all stayed at the Ferrario/Bakx fantastic cabin. While the adults were having a blast at the festival, the girls stayed with the teenagers at the cabin and had fun going to the movies, eating ice cream, and playing many games. On the way home we all had a great lunch together then headed our separate ways to prepare for the upcoming week.
Monday night after gymnastics was movie night. All the gymnasts and family watched "Full Out" until about 10 pm (very late after a big weekend in Mammoth). The next day was the girls first soccer practice of the season. Luckily we got to make practice times for both teams back to back and on the same field since Mommy is coaching with Mac again. Then we got to pick up a couple of special guests to stay with us for a few days. Ashley and her friend Sydney flew in by themselves to see Dan and Phil (??? youtubers) at the Staples Center. They came just in time for Parent Night (a.k.a Make fun of your Dad night) at gymnastics. Each kid brings parents to participate in two hours of gymnastics practice where they are the coach. Ashley and Sydney will confirm that it is pretty awesome. Thursday the Natal's were headed for The Great Wolf Lodge at the end of their vacation and dropped off Buster and Lou while the girls were at Y camp. After Mommy picked up the girls from camp we headed back to soccer practice while Daddy brought Ashley and Sydney to the "concert". He picked them up after when we were all in bed. They said that they had a magnificent time! We had a little time to play on Friday morning before we took them back to the airport to say goodbye. After gymnastics practice on Friday the Natal's came back to pick up the pups and we got to hang out for a while before they too headed back home. That evening Mommy volunteered to stay with the girls for the annual sleep over at the gym. About 45 girls ranging from 7 to 15 in a gymnastics center. Not much sleep happening their after a big week. But they certainly had some good times and memories!
That Saturday we had the pleasure of joining the Dunbar's vacation when we met up with the them for dinner at Bubba Gumps in Downtown Disney. We had a lot of laughs and enjoyed catching up. On Sunday the girls got to have a play date with their previous teacher, Ms. Ahrens. We had won an auction at the school carnival that gave them the opportunity to go to Paint and Glaze, followed by a Pizza lunch. She then of course continued to spoil them by following up with frozen yogurt. They all had such a fun afternoon! Then we picked our multitude of tomatoes, onions, and peppers and made some pasta sauce as well as two large containers of both mild and hot salsa. They all came out delicious!
As if they don't get enough, gymnastics camp came the next week. It's pretty busy when you have gymnastics all day then either gymnastics or soccer practice to follow each evening. You'd think they'd get tired out, but it must be nice being so adaptive because they didn't complain once. Only exciting stories and proud moments of their accomplishments. Also during that week we got to have Lula as a house guest which was as wonderful as always. Next guest to arrive at the end of the month was Uncle Joe. We had a busy fun-filled day even if the girls didn't succeed on getting him on the trampoline.
We also got to go to the Ferrario wild animal park while they were off backpacking to take care of the plants, finch, chickens, raccoon, squirrel, coy fish, cats, and dogs which is pretty cool to do. Unfortunately we did have to say goodbye to one of their dogs, Kona. She was peaceful in her bed when we arrived so we took care to keep her safe until they came back home. She was a great dog and we will miss her. We were told previous to our visit that this may be coming. She had such a great life with a great family!
Less than two weeks before school starts. Let's make the most of that time and everything that is to come.

Cienna - 10 Years 6 Months... Kaylee - 8 Years 1 Month!!
Mark got ready for our trip with a fun doctor visit while Cienna helped out by mowing the lawn for her first time. The day before the magnificent trip to Ohio, as I will write about, the girls had a "Power Workout" with all the girls that were planning to go to the National's competition. They all wore matching-ish outfits and brought each other good luck gifts. Afterward Mommy and the girls planned on making it to Kaylee's cookie sell party at John's Incredible Pizza, but ended up at the wrong one. We were going to be late anyway, and were close to Knott's, so decided to go there instead to make up for it and had a great time.
The next day we left on a super adventure from LAX to Cleveland, Ohio. Lucky us we have great friends like the Marshall's to take care of Porter while we left for just over a week! We had a layover in Texas and thought of our Auntie Bridget and Vickie, but they were cruisin' the islands at the time. Our flight was a little delayed, so coming into Ohio after 1 am it was best we lay over at a hotel that night before the next few perfect days at the Cusick resort! We had a little hiccup getting the hotel, but were in good spirits through it all and ended up with a great breakfast. Kari came to pick us up after breakfast. When we came down from the elevator, we saw a new statue in the lobby of the hotel. Had a pug face and a Landen body! We weren't sure, but knew what we were looking at once we saw Kari cracking up to the side. Nice welcome Landen! When we showed up at their house, we got to meet Kyler and the puppies. Only heard about Sherbert so far, but eventually met the cat.
Before meeting Charlie, Lulu, and eventually Sherbert, we also got to meet Feathers. She is a wild bird that lays 4 eggs (apparently each year she does this) on the rocks next to their driveway. And of course Mr. Feathers was around occasionally. Her eggs hatched a couple weeks after we left and the Cusicks named them after us! Upon arrival, the girls instantly wanted to play a soccer game, girls against boys in their yard. Addie and Jasen weren't their yet, but we had a great game with the 7 of us. The neighborhood pool was next on the agenda after Addie and Jasen got home, but while they were getting ready, Kaylee heard they had a golf cart and they were willing to let her drive it. This was the first of many times! The pool was fun and refreshing before dinner at the small downtown of Medina.
After dinner and ice cream we headed back for outdoor movie night, and bedtime. The next morning after wrestling and watching world cup we headed back to the pool while the Dad's got us a rental car. Then some of us went fishing as others went to the store before joining them. We all caught fish and then released them at the nearby pond, that we got to via golf cart. We had a fun night next to the fire pit and ping pong for the adults before traveling to Cedar Point the next day joined by the Cusick family!
Best Roller Coaster Rides EVER! Such a great day, with great company, consisting of rides, perfect weather, and happiness. Then we had to say goodbye and head to Toledo for the Nationals gymnastics meet for the girls. We arrived at the hotel and were ready for dinner and a good night sleep. In the morning we met up with the other 18 gymnasts from our gym for breakfast. We also hung up all the signs on each others door wishing good luck in the meet the next day. But first we got to participate in the opening ceremonies!
Our team was the first to line up and welcome all the other teams with high fives! The ceremony consisted of speeches by the mayor and Olympic gold medalist Nastia Luken along with dancing and fun times. We then got to parade down the street and were welcomed as we marched around the field of a minor league baseball team before a big game. We got "Mud Hen" dollars to spend for food and souvenirs and all had a wonderful time before realizing we should head back to go to bed since the first team member had to compete at 8 am and wanted to support her even though our girls didn't compete till 5 pm.
So then the girls big competition... side note Mommy and Daddy's 15th anniversary, Daddy spent most of his day in the bleachers with other Dad's and Mom's, while Mommy was coaching. The girls had so much fun and were very proud of their performance! It did end about 10pm, but they were troopers and we went to bed ready to spend fun time with some of the rest of the team at the Toledo Zoo the next day. Also happened to be another team gymnast friend birthday, so we decorated her door when we got back to surprise her!
We had one more day before heading out of Detroit, so we headed to the Henry Ford Museum. Man does that guy own a lot of stuff! We also spent time in his Greenfield Village were he uplifted things such as the Wright Bros family home and Edison's Workshop to name the least. Kaylee even made an actual old school print from a printing press. It was acres of land occupied by many landmarks. The girls were troopers on a very hot day, but we all had fun regardless!
Lucky to have friends to pick us up from the airport, it was a very smooth trip home. The next day Mommy picked up Grammy from the airport to spend a wonderful week of catching up, chatting, hanging out, and enjoying her company, but also a lot of spoiling the girls (a whole lot!!!) Other than that she of course also spent each day teaching them some musical skills on the Ukulele. The girls were so happy to have Grammy watch them when Mommy and Daddy had to work and then we were all happy for her to get to spend 4th of July with us at the Ferrario's and set off sparklers in the neighborhood. During Grammy's visit, we also got to have Lula spend some time while her family was in Hawaii. Porter loves having his girlfriend around as much as we do.
After taking Grammy home we celebrated Uncle Keith's Birthday. It was a wonderful spread of food, deserts, and great friends/family! The following Day we welcomed more family visitors! Auntie Carrie and Cousin Rylee came to play! They spent a long evening of travel coming our way. We headed to gymnastics and they got to rest and shop for all of us before we took them to play in the waves at the beach. They girls also loved getting reunited at home afterward. There was plenty of gymnastics/cheerleeding fun on and off of the trampoline. We then headed off for more fun at Knott's Berry Farm the next day, including a great dinner. Plenty of games and crafts later, Rylee wanted to get back to the beach so that's where we went. Next we headed to the Bay to warm up before heading back to our home.
Mommy took them home early the next morning and we appreciate every chance we get to see any of our family or friends! Any time!
Summer is busy and great. We have so many wonderful people and opportunities in our lives!

Cienna - 10 Years 5 Months... Kaylee - 8 Years Old!!
The month started out with a ton of fun and didn't slow down from there. We got to have a full fun filled day hanging out with the Switek family. Soccer, Lunch, walks, and lots of playtime! The evening they headed back home we were propositioned with having a group of gymnasts attending Shelby's 13th birthday slumber party come and TP our house. We were warned ahead of time, but the girls didn't know. They had a blast and it wasn't too bad of a clean up even though they did a great job. We then prepared a dinosaur and book report diorama for school the following week.
That week at school was the book fair and Open House where the girls showed us all of their hard work that they have accomplished throughout the year. We also got to pick up Odie to do some doggie sitting through the weekend. On Friday Cienna headed with her girls scout troop and leaders to stay a night at Great Wolf Lodge which is how they chose to spend their cookie money. They were spoiled and had a blast on the water slides. While she was gone, Kaylee got some extra movie time that evening with Mommy and Daddy, then breakfast in the morning and extra alone time with Odie. On Sunday we got to celebrate Sydney's Birthday pool party. The following Monday was Memorial Day so we enjoyed family time. Mommy even taught Kaylee how to mow the lawn, including how to start the mower herself. We also spent some time playing on the VR goggles that Daddy brought home from work, and had a successful lemonade stand on the front yard.
The following was the slowest with only a couple of Dr. appointments for the girls. Happy and healthy as always! And a VIPS appreciation breakfast. Then we had a tremendous weekend in San Diego. The girls had their Y State competition and nailed it! They had a great time and were very proud of themselves. Afterward we stayed with the Sklenicka's and did some catching up and game playing. Mommy helped coach some of the other levels that weekend as well.
Kaylee's 2nd Grade class had their field trip to the Cabrillo Aquarium the next week and the last Brownie meeting of the year where she got presented with her prizes from a great job cookie selling. She was the 2nd highest in her troop this year. Thursday was her first birthday month date night and got a large free ice cream out of it.
On Friday, Cienna left us once again for a girls scout overnight. This time it was at a Girl Scout house without the amenities they were spoiled with at the Lodge. It was walking distance from the beach and they certainly took advantage of that while Daddy took a extra trip to bring them some aerobeds since the floors were all hardwood in the place with no furniture. Kaylee again got breakfast with Mommy and Daddy before picking Cienna up the next morning. Then as Daddy was asking our Galaxy contact guy how we could bring him our framed picture of Cienna's 4th grade class as a thank you for a donation, he offered us some amazing tickets to the Galaxy vs. Real Salt Lake on Sat. night. It was a great game and it'll be hard to watch from other seats from now on. Kaylee even got a cool bag and set of 7 towels since her birthday was the following Friday. On Sunday Cienna finally got the chance to volunteer at the nearby Equestrian Center. Daddy went with her and they learned a lot, picked up poop, walked the horses and helped with many other tasks. We all then began to prepare for the last week of school and upcoming birthday events.
Cienna had her 4th Grade Gold Rush play, she was one of the main characters. She did great despite some curtain malfunctions. That also happen to be Porter's Birthday, he got a rawhide and some extra hugs. Then tortured with a balloon tied to his neck as we sang to him. The whole week at school was filled with pretty much just play, party time and clean up in both of the girls classrooms. Mommy and Daddy even got off of work early on Thursday, the last day of school. We brought treats at the end of the day for Kaylee's class to celebrate her Birthday the following day. Afterward we all went out to dinner at Knott's Berry Farm. Of course we went on a couple of rides before and after dinner, including the new Hang Time. We all LOVED it!
Then it happened, our baby girl turned 8 years old. Say it isn't so. While Daddy was at work we updated him with pictures of our day. First breakfast, Kaylee chose a place that we could bring Porter, of course. Then we seriously needed groceries, so they partied their way through the store. Afterward Kaylee wanted her fingers and toes done, mostly for the massage part. Cienna just opted for her fingernails. The library was the next stop before it was time for gymnastics practice. Kaylee wanted to bring Icee's for her friends. For her Birthday party the following day she chose to have it at CPK. They were wonderful. All kids got to make chef's hats, Kaylee got a special chef jacket. Then they got to each make their own pizza and got a tour of the kitchen while the pizzas were cooking. Our host was so gracious to Kaylee when she decided that she was going to help make the sundae's for her party in the kitchen. She had fun with all her friends. Then that evening we were off to another party at Cara's house, they share a birthday. It was a mystery play acting party. Each girl had a part to play and it even had commercial breaks for the girls to make up skits to.
Father's day came next. After starting with a nice family walk joined by the Marshall's we finally got Daddy Country Fried Steak and Eggs to eat while sitting on our front porch watching as we washed his truck. When he was way too full we went over to Joan and Larry's to celebrate more Father's and eat the delicious tapas that they had spent days preparing. Was a big and wonderful weekend.
On the last day we were lucky to have our neighbor come to watch the girls in the morning when we went to work. She then took them to one of Cienna's good friend Jayden's house for yet another party, this one was an 80's themed Dance Birthday party. They let them stay there till Mommy was able to pick them up after work.
The girls just keep getting older regardless of what we ask of them. It's amazing, scary, and sad all at the same time. We are so proud and do all we can to take the best care of who they are becoming.
Check out the pictures to go along with the story.

The girls just keep getting older regardless of what we ask of them. It's amazing, scary, and sad all at the same time. We are so proud and do all we can to take the best care of who they are becoming.

Cienna - 10 Years 4 Months... Kaylee - 7 Years, 11 Months!
Kaylee went from a Brownie meeting to her very excitedly anticipated dentist appointment (those at the office think she might be a dentist when she grows up) before performing her talent show again during Milikan High School's Senior Day for Hope's (her dance instructor) Senior Project. The next day we all went to watch the Lorax in appreciation of Arbor Day at their school's outdoor movie night. That weekend we all did some fun projects including more prep for the upcoming school Carnival. We also built and donated a Lego's First Competition Table for the school. Cienna's first competition last month was our inspiration. We then had play time with the Marshall's and headed to Knott's Berry Farm for a couple of rides.
Cienna worked very hard and had so much fun in Chorus this year with Ms. Karoncong she made Mommy tear up when watching their fantastic Spring performance. The following weekend we attended Girl Scout Night with the LA Galaxy. Although it was a late night, it was a great high scoring game and full of fun memories for the girls. They got their third signature on their homemade T-Shirts. We then FINALLY got to planting the garden. We got way more plants than planned, but it is going to be awesome. The whole family enjoyed getting dirty and are ready for the rewarding food to come. That weekend we decided to shower Daddy with his Birthday gifts since we were all together even though his birthday was on Thursday, we had other plans for that evening. Auntie Kimmie's fairy from next door also brought the girls delicious cinnamon rolls that we all got to share.
Daddy decided we would all have a great time and head to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner in downtown Knott's Berry Farm for his birthday and hope we could fit in a ride. We got there at 5:30 expecting it to be open to 9pm, but they informed us that it closed at 6. We went for the ride anyway, and it turns out that Thursday is a great time to go. We got 4 rides in a half an hour. They even let Kaylee on one that she was a tiny bit too short for because nobody at all was in any line! Afterward we enjoyed a great meal and celebrated Daddy!
Daddy continued to celebrate the next morning as Uncle B showed up and they headed off to Brewfest. Mommy stayed with the girls and worked hard setting up the 4th Grade Carnival Booth, Kick the Satellite into Space! It was a long day and a lot of hard work went into a very successful school carnival, but the children had an amazing time and a lot of money was raised to go toward keeping our school as great as it is.
The next morning Steph picked up Mommy to join the party at Brewfest. Before that Mommy went running then dropped off the girls at the Marshalls for a fun filled day starting with breakfast at Ruby's. They enjoyed their day and slumber party almost as much as Daddy did during Brewfest. It was awesome sleeping on the truck aero-bed with a camper shell.
When we got home there was quite a lot of preparation to get done for Teacher Appreciation Week, along with Administrative Assistant, appreciating our great school nurse, and of course our principal! We have such great faculty and wanted to make sure they know it.
Next is was Cienna with on Ortho appt. and a Junior meeting to make a wonderful Mother's Day gift. Before Mother's Day we had an amazing time at the Lakewood Equestrian Center donating our time and money to a cause that lets children volunteer to keep hundreds of horses happy just a few miles from our home. We enjoyed friends, games, horses, petting all kinds of animals and a place where we see spending a lot more time! We won a raffle of a couple of pillow cases that were made by Sam which is a very good gymnastics friend of ours whom we bought the tickets from!
The next day we had a lot of catching up to do with so many other activities happening. Mother's Day was spent just like Mom likes. We tailgated in the parking lot where we got supplies for Cienna's Mission project (Mission De Asis) and Kaylee's Dinosaur Diorama of a Stegosaurus. That was our family time projects for the day and it was great. Mom got plenty of very thoughtful gifts and just enjoyed hanging out with Daddy and the girls.
Ending the month, Cienna had her dentist appt. and then a field trip that she had plenty to talk about at Rancho Los Cerritos. The grand finale if the month which will continue the first day of next month was the visit of the Switeck's. They stopped by Friday night on their way home from an amazing week+ long family vacation that we were lucky to be part of. The girls hit it off immediately that evening and the next day only got better!
Till next time!

Cienna - 10 Years 3 Months... Kaylee - 7 Years, 10 Months!
Plenty of school activities started since the last time. STEAM night was great fun at school, many different opportunities to learn. Then a free dress day for Spring pictures followed by a dress rehearsal for Cienna's First Snow White production which was just for the 4th and 5th graders since the Hess's were moving to Ariz. and wanted to participate. The Carver Olympics was a wonderful Sunny day and the whole school had a great time.
Many of practices and fun times later the girls finally got to showcase all the acts that they have worked on for the Carver Talent Show! All four acts were AMAZING, and the show in itself was so tremendous to watch.
That weekend we got to have fun at JT's big 10th Birthday bash and later Kaylee joined Jessica for another birthday celebration. The following week Mommy hung out with Steph to help people get healthy using her Arbonne products. Then Daddy got to watch Cienna in an advanced screening as the Evil Queen for the 4th/5th grade production.
Then we all got to enjoy at least some, well quite a bit of Spring Break. It started on Good Friday when we got to bring Kiera, Misha, Super Girl with us and the rest of the 4th Grade to join their teacher for a movie day to see "A Wrinkle in Time". The Saturday to follow we enjoyed Kara's Birthday party at the park including a full on clown... ... ...
We got to enjoy the early Easter morning together as a family as the girls found Easter eggs and looked through their baskets before we got to enjoy a tremendous breakfast at the Marshall's followed by another egg hunt, egg dying, and plenty of fun. Later that afternoon the joy continued as we spent time with the Snow's and family with even more food, hunts, and baskets!
Daddy took Monday to work from home and worked in time to take the girls out to play hand ball at school and have a special lunch with the three of them. Tuesday Mommy worked from home, but still fit in a game of bowling and Frozen Yogurt. Spring Break Wednesday after Mommy's dentist appt. we did take Porter to brunch, then after the fabric store we headed to get the rest of the supplies to prepare for, which included quite a bit of sewing, our Junior Girls Scout Play Date to help craft out our 4th Grade Carnival Game, "Kick the Soccer Ball Into Space." Thursday the girls enjoyed a day with having Sara come watch them, while Mommy and Daddy were working, and have her play all the games they wanted. Even Ryan and Lula came to enjoy the fun.
That Friday the girls were invited to a play date at Knott's Berry Farm. Turns out year passes for the family including Soak City, which will be great for the summer, is not much more than a single day... so we now have season passes and this was our first day. It was great to spend time with a new gymnastics friend Liegha. The next morning the girls had a fun gymnastics performance for Healthy Kids Day at the YMCA. Of course afterwards they had to make sure Daddy got to enjoy Knott's as well, so we went back and had more fun again being season ticket holders and all.
Then the last day of Spring Break Daddy had planned a brew day and us girls got some work done around the house. Cienna and Kaylee made sure the trampoline wasn't getting bored. We then graciously got invited again to the Marshall's to join an impromptu BBQ with many great friends!
Along the way there has been Talent Show, Robotics, and Snow White practices as well as Girls Scout meetings. Cienna's girl scouts got to go to Pavilion's for a tour and to learn about money management. They each got $10 to spend for an entire meal to make for their family. They had a great time and we had to wait till Sunday for Cienna to make us terrific homemade pizza! Because we were leaving on a plane the next day to visit the Natals!
It was a wonderfully full quick trip. We went via plane and it was a great travel experience for all. After the walk to the airport and quick flight, Cienna got to sit in the cockpit as the pilot explained how to fly the plane and let her pull levers and push buttons! RJ was there just as we arrived to drive us to their home and spend a great evening catching up, having fun, and preparing for June's 1st Communion the next day. Before the Communion after a great night and breakfast, we got to watch June play a great game of Softball as RJ coached and we even got to help score keep.
June was amazing at her First Communion and it was pretty cool to see so much family support. The Natal's held a wonderful celebration to follow and unfortunately soon after we had to head back to the airport. Thanks to the Natal's for bringing us it was again an easy trip back home. This time when we finished the flight, Kaylee got to sit in the Pilot seat and learn at least a few of the controls on the airplane.
After that great weekend, we still had a Sunday. We had many more experiences. Cienna had her first robotics competition with her 4th Grade Robotics Team. They did amazing and is was so much fun to see all the hard work they have been putting in over the past few months! Kaylee then went to lunch for Kamryn's 8th Birthday at Islands which the rest of us joined after robotics to continue to the movies and watch Sherlock Gnomes. That evening, of course was finally when Cienna got her chance to make us a much needed wonderful homemade pizza dinner. She did great!
The last few days consisted of a last practice for Kaylee got to do an amazing performance in front of all high school students to help Hope complete her senior project, just after her dental check up while Cienna had pictures before one of her last Snow White performance practices.
Till Next Time, Enjoy.

Cienna - 10 Years 2 Months... Kaylee - 7 Years, 9 Months!
It might seem like this wasn't a busy month but you have not seen how marked up our calendar is. Sure it started with a simple get together at a friends to talk about her growing business followed by Ava and Ricky's Super Birthday Party at Glow Zone with hundreds of people. Then a nice date night out for a Carver fundraiser at CPK. But the real business were the weeks filled with after school and weekend practices for the Robotics Club, Talent Show Practices... 4 acts between the 2 girls, one of which Mommy is the lead. Different days of practice for each girl for the school play of Snow White to come in June. There were a couple Girl Scout meetings, one of which we were in charge of St. Patty's themed snacks consisting of Green rice crispy treats and grapes. All that along with working hard to sell all the cookies that they had recommended to be able to sell of course. This is again on top of all the regular gymnastics, etc. that occurs every week. And breathe...
Then along the way we had some cookie booths and a planned power outage. Then on a Friday after going to school in pajamas for Read Across America Day, the girls missed the second half of school to compete in the Long Beach Open at the Convention Center. They did fantastic and Daddy took a LONG lunch break to come watch them. That Sunday Daddy left to go to New Jersey for a meeting at the Subaru headquarters. Him and his co-workers had a little extra time after the meeting on Monday to visit some cool sites in Philadelphia. Daddy even pretended to be Rocky Balboa! The girls missed him but had a good time, mostly trying to sell cookies.
We had our yearly meeting with our financial advisory who has become a good friend to all of us. This year he gave each girl a $2 bill. Mommy also took a little time on a Friday night to celebrate Minda's 40th Birthday. The following day we had Sadie's 10th Birthday along with Larry's 75th Birthday. The girls were able to start at Larrry's, head over to Sadie's, and then back for more cake at Larry's. Then Sunday, with more practices included in all of these days, Daddy got to spend time with Roman "preparing" for the Home Brew Festival (Brewing Beer).
Then there were no more cookies to sell, good thing it was the very last day to sell Girl Scout cookies! The Carver 2nd through 5th graders all got to walk to Marshall (neighborhood Middle School) to watch a really good production put on by the middle schoolers of Princess and The Pea. Mommy volunteered to work at the Y for a Kinder Open Gym, but then headed over right after to watch as well. We knew some previous Carver students and also some close gymnastics teammates that were in the play so it was a blast to see them on stage.
The last weekend we celebrated the wee bit of Irish in us with a delicious corned beef and a visit from Poppa and the Marty's. They came that evening in the new motor home and we all had a great dinner for the holiday. The next day we got to spend even more enjoying each others company. The girls also got to join in on Auntie Kimmie's birthday brunch celebration at Corey and Autumn's home!
The girls really loved their first season of gymnastics competition! It is now over with the exception of YMCA State and National Competitions coming in June. Cienna has really enjoyed robotics taught by her teacher and they are both excited about the school play and enjoy the practices leading up to it. The Talent Show will be a great time. Kaylee is really shining in her dances and has even had to step in for one of Cienna's girl scouts that won't be able to make the show.
