HONK

Emma and Hunter were in the school play, HONK!  

Hunter was a goose, Pinkfoot was his official name.

Emma was an adorable little duckling.

As the proud mommy, I went to all 3 performances and have a bazillion pictures.

I'll just post a few.

 Hunter was with a silly group of boys, they had so much fun!

 

After the first performance, I reminded Hunter to smile when he was up on stage.  He told me that his part was serious and he was like a soldier so he couldn't.  He was right.

Emma had quite a bit of stage time and since she is so little, she was usually at the front.  It was fun to see her up on stage.  She really liked it...

 She took her part very seriously and I love how she showed so much expression.

 

 

This was a sad part.  Emma really looked like she was crying.

 

 It was a long weekend, and by the third performance Saturday night, I caught a real yawn up on stage.  Poor Emma.

 I helped with the costumes again.  I do such a small amount compared to some people.  I love the creativity.  These little froglets were really cute.

 

 A few shots of the whole cast.

 All the ducklings.

My kids are so lucky to have such great family to come out and support them in fun things like this!

Sunday Hike

A perfect Sunday afternoon walk.

Hylebos Park.

Federal Way.

We saw a lot of cool birds and plants. 
We saw a few wild rabbits too.

Skunk cabbage.. Boy did it stink!

We met up with some friends.
That's always fun.

Love those sunny days.
Can't wait for more!

A little of Dad's world

It's been a few weeks now, but since this blog is what turns into our family scrapbook each year, I wanted to be sure to include pictures from this little family outing a few weeks ago ..... okay it's been over a month.

We started off by taking the kids to see where Jared goes when he heads off to school.  This is his building.

He took them inside to the classroom where he spends many, many hours and showed them the seat he usually sits in.  Not the front row, but not the back either.

The kids thought it was fun to take turns pretending to be the teacher.

They about died when Dad showed them this ice cream freezer where they can have a treat anytime they want.  They each picked something.

Drinks too.

This is the cafeteria where Dad eats his meals on Wednesday nights and all day Saturdays.

I wish we would have done this earlier because it was nice for everyone to have a mental picture of where Dad is while he is gone to school all this time.

Next we headed over to the Robotics competition in Seattle.
Dad explained everything to the kids and they had fun cheering on the different robots, but mostly they had fun collecting pins from all the different competitors.

It was a great day.
I think we all appreciated Dad a little more.
He's pretty smart and works really hard.
We love him!
