Layla had her ballet recital at the end of May. Here she is with Maggie & Clare on picture day.

After the show
Spring sports were in full swing in May. Layla did soccer, Kieron tried flag football, and all the kids participated in summer swim league.
“Put us in!”
Not a bad place to practice swimming
Flag football
More swimming. The whole wet mask thing was a little weird.
The boys all participated in the Boy Scouts 50 miler this spring. They started out on bikes, then hiked and canoed the rest. We’re so proud of them!

We got to celebrate all the mother’s this Mother’s Day. Here are pictures from our day with Grammy and Papa and our day with Nana and Frank. The kids helped detail my car and spoiled me with sweet cards.

Kieron turned eleven this year. At eleven, this kid is super sweet, has matured immensely, and is typically pretty mild-mannered and fun to be around. He’s definitely an old soul. Thoughtful, contemplative, loyal, calm and insightful, Kieron still has a super memory, loves to cook, bake and read, and adores animals, although I think it is safe to say he is a cat person. We love him so much!
The Julius Boehem Chocolate Factory opened back up for tours recently, so we knew just how to celebrate our little chef this year. We had a lot of fun touring the local factory, which has been operating since 1942 and moved to Issaquah in 1956. We all really enjoyed sampling the chocolates at the end too!
