April- August Knight Activities.

KC got 3rd Place in his division for wrestling!!  He did great for his first year and his coaches are excited for him to return next year.

Sami showed so much aggression in soccer this season.  she plays well and smiles so much on the fields.

Zoe is Happy with anything she does.  Soccer was fun for her and this was her first time doing it.  Scott was her coach and she loved her special time going to practice with him.  She seems to think that 7-11 is a must each time.

Two different teams, two different age brackets and they are assigned the same shirt and number.  Sami's coach kept asking if he could sub Zoe in for one of the other players because he knew she would play. 

Zoe had good ball control most of the time.  She played on a small field and with one kick the ball was on the other side.

Sami and her teammate competed against each other when they were in at the same time.  Sami has the ball right now but her team mate caught up and instead of waiting for a pass she took it from her.  Sami did it too.  They never worked on passing but were always coached to work as a team.  It was a rough season with Sami's coach. but Sami had fun.

Just as wrestling was finishing Soccer was starting.  KC did great for taking a needed  3 plus years off.  He has great ball control.  He enjoyed all the time spent with boys.  He doesn't like turf as much as grass, but in WA turf is so much better than the grass.

Zoe is done with Kindergarten.  She is sad to never have Mrs. Jex as a teacher again but is excited for what she will learn in 1st grade.

Dance Festival was great.  I was very entertained by all of the dances and testimonies and stories shared by the youth in the NW.  Joshlynn did a Fan Dance and KC did a Tinikling Dance.  They both enjoyed the things they learned.  KC's feet hurt a lot during practices.  He hit the sticks a few too many times.

Our first Camping trip of the summer.  There is a lot of work to be done.  This is a Cabin that Scott's boss from the bust stop kiosk job is letting us and the scouts use.  On this trip we installed a toilet hidden a little in the trees and bushes.  We moved the firewood away from the cabin so everything would dry out.  We removed a lot of weeds and ferns and removed moss and trees from the roof.  It was a lot of work and not much fun until.........

Scott made a ladder to get to the roof and

KC removed trees and the younger girls and I planted them around the toilet to try to hide it more and

Joshlynn learned how to walk on a roof and

the younger girls climbed up and down the ladder and

everyone tried to play in the water.  It was very cold but refreshing and fun.

Jami and I just got our feet and hands wet.  We don't care much for the water for playing in.

Well We did a lot more things but all of those pictures are on my phone and I don't know how to get them to the pc. You can see all of that on Facebook.  We are doing well and having a lot of fun.  We are keeping busy and are helping a lot of friends right now.  Soccer starts again soon.   Joshlynn is taking piano lessons again, Jami has started babysitting while supervised just a little, KC is being a teenage boy right now, Sami is trying very hard to finish the summer reading program, Zoe is enjoying every minute of life and becomes more independent every day.

Scott is working and enjoying it.  we are really enjoying that we can keep up with our bills and have a study paychecks each month.  He is also working very hard on getting the camper ready for our next campouts. He has built an amazing tree fort and has made our backyard a nice place to spend the evenings in.

I am trying to spend as much time with my kids and worrying less about the house work.  Everyone will be in school next year all day and I will be lonely so I will take as much as I can get right now as long as at 8:30pm I don't have to watch cartoons.
