November 2014 - Thanksgiving

Dad's first day at his new job sign: "How was your busy day?"

November 14, 2014, Veteran’s Day-Played soccer outside in the wind and cold with gloves and hats and watched pine cones fall from the trees as we played. Used blown down branches as our goal markers. Hot cocoa afterwards and a picnic by the fireplace.

Thanksgiving was filled with a bunch of sickness all around but we made the most of it with the McReynolds foosball table and the knock off Creationary game I brought.

ABC soup continues to be a contest…whoever can say it the fastest. It just became a thing since the last time we had vegetable soup. Keira put a slinky on her chin the other day and said she was Lorenzo Snow, ha!

October 2014 - Conference Crafts, Ella's Soccer Party, Halloween

October 5, 2014 – Conference weekend. Said goodbye to Clint and Moko yesterday after another great visit. Had dinner with them at Tai Ho. Keira said it was like a palace because they just kept bringing out dish after dish. She ate dinner with chopsticks like a pro. The Jordan’s brought up an Ella oldie that we’d totally forgotten about. When she was about two years old she asked Travis after work “how was your busy day?” So cute because she answers her own question in her question. The Jordan’s couldn’t believe we’d forgotten it because they say it all the time. Girls enjoyed conference packets and bingo cards and Keira made CTR pretzels with cinnamon sugar and cream cheese frosting.

October 9, 2014 – A few nights ago Keira wanted me to tuck her in tight like a burrito, so I did. Then I put her favorite bear next to her to snuggle with (her large white bear she named flower). On my way out of her room she referred to Flower as her side of sour cream. Tee hee.

Mom and dad dressed up as Kevin and Russell for the Zinniger's Halloween party.

September 2014 - First Day of School Pictures

September 28, 2014 – Kim took Ella and Keira to Chuck -E-Cheese for Ella’s birthday and also got Ella a beautiful bracelet for her baptism.

August 2014 - Point No Point, Edmonds Beach, Family Fun Center and more

August 12, 2014 – Canoed at the WAC with Celeste, Mike, Sean, Ryan and Sabrina and the next day went to Point-no-Point via the Kingston Ferry. The kids dragged and floated drift wood to one spot and Trav and Mike built a crude TP. Went to Franklin Falls last Monday with Kim and Cindi and crews.

Took the kids to Edmonds beach for a sand sculpting contest and made a dolphin. The kids helped make sand pies. Included a few other creative sand creations.

Lake Chelan - Keira picking blueberries and stopped at the 59er Diner for shakes, a favorite of the Kamikawa's.

August 30, 2014 – Ella was baptized and confirmed today. What a great day. There for the confirmation were: Uncle Jason McReynolds, Tony Rosensprung, Bill Ellis, Cameron Braithwaite, both grandpas, David Campbell, Gary Kamikawa, and Travis. When I asked her how it felt she said it felt funny, kinda funny going under the water. Then I asked her what she felt inside and she said “hungry!”

Family Fun Center time.
