SOPHIA'S 1ST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

We can't believe that Sophia is now in elementary school.  She started kindergarten this year and she goes full day.  Meaning that school begins at 7:50am and ends at 2:20pm.  We drive her to school because her bus stop is way too early but she takes the bus home.  She enjoys taking the bus home.  Her favorite activity at school is recess and PE.

LAKE CHELAN

It's an end of the summer tradition that we visit Lake Chelan.  This year was a treat because my parents were in town so they came with us too.  My parents loved Lake Chelan and chillin with their grand kids.

DADDY DATE WITH SOPHIA

Every year, daddy takes Sophia to a Seahawks game.  He spoils her with cotton candy, juice and hot dogs.  She also gets a new Seahawks t-shirt too.  She loves the Hawks. 

CAMPING IN ORCAS ISLAND

Every year we take family camping trip with our friends.  This year we ventured to where Dave grew up Orcas Island.

FOUL WEATHER BLUFF BEACH

We really take advantage of the summers here.  This is one of our favorite beaches located 15 miles outside Bainbridge Island. It's been an incredible summer for us.

SOPHIA'S 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Sophia wanted a dress up party for her 5th birthday.  She dressed up as Merida from Brave.  Thanks to Grandma Mij for getting this costume for her.

SOPHIA'S LAST DAY OF PRESCHOOL

I can't believe that my little girl is moving on from preschool into kindergarten.  Of course she was so excited that this was her last day of preschool and I was trying to hold my tears back.
