First Day of School

The first day of school came up fast!  Here’s Avery’s last first day porch photos (sniff sniff).

With his OG Superman backpack!

Avery has late start this year, but got up early to grab donuts and take Kieron to school.

Silas was the last out the door on the first day.

Phoebe came to drop off with us in her new car seat.

After school, Shelby came back to play. The girls got a kick out of their matching Stanleys!

End of School Year

The end of this school year was busy and warrants it’s own post. Here’s a cool pic we organized at the elementary.

In addition to being on the PTSA board, I was also the yearbook chair. Getting these distributed was a huge relief!

We had some bus stop drama when the district took away our bus route and made our kids catch the bus at the end of an access road in Fall City! Fortunately, they gave us our route back toward the end of October.

Going to a football game – I think they were supposed to dress country for this one

Nicole’s High School Graduation

Our niece, Nicole, graduated with honors from high school in June and is WWU bound. We couldn’t be more proud of the beautiful, smart woman she’s become. Way to go, Nicole! Can’t wait to see what you do!




The day before we headed to Pullman, we found out Manivanh tested positive for Covid. Sadly, this left her out of much of the festivities they’d all been looking forward to for a long time. Kieron, Grammy and Papa, and I headed east that day. The next morning, Jonathan tested positive, which meant he couldn’t drive over with Avery, Silas & Layla. It was pretty disappointing the wrench Covid threw in this event, but we made the most of it.

Pullman High School, Class of 2022




Earlier that day…

At Nicole’s graduation party, the following day




We went to Nicole’s track banquet while Scott and Manivanh prepared for the graduation party. Nicole was constantly being recognized on stage, as a team captain, MVP, scholar athlete, and so on. I can tell her team will miss her.
